You are no longer residents of the greatest country on Earth. Instead with each passing day the U.S. becomes a bigger joke. A very big, very dangerous joke. Instead of leading anything, this wonderful political experiment that survived so many attacks and required literally millions of lives to protect over the past 241 years is being unraveled by a bunch of low-life used car salesmen in slick suits. And I say that with deepest apologies to used car salesmen the world over.
The world is less safe. You and your family, less safe. Your children your brother your mother your sister your father, all of them, less safe. Because you decided it would be so. Because you decided to put a truly unwell looney tune in the White House. The best president any terrorist could hope for. The best little buddy Putin could buy. Vladi is making him dance like a helpless marionette and Comrade Trump obliges every pull of the string. Putin's puppy pushing us further into isolation from the rest of the world, further up the list of targets for terrorism.
He is guaranteeing our school children will continue to lag behind those from most anywhere else.
The misogynist that he is, I can easily imagine him going after women's rights. You're not good for much more than pussy anyway, right? (middle-aged college educated white women did more to elect this bozo than any other demographic. Can anyone even begin to explain that to me?)
He is doing everything in his power to put us back in the dark ages as far as environmental protection, too. On a more practical standpoint for most of us - in just six short months you are worth less monetarily. That trend will both continue and speed up significantly. By separating us from the rest of the planet it appears he is trying to plunge us into economic ruin. All while expecting you to spend a trillion dollars on a fence we don't need and that wouldn't work even if we did and of course hastening the demise of this, our only planet. Our home.
A hater, so blinded by his twisted sense of reality he can't even see the wall he is running this country in to at full tilt. With endless drama, managing to accomplish nothing helpful. Distracting us with side-show acts like "Tony the Mooch." Tony the effing Mooch running the White House (for all of ten days). Sounds like some particularly low level gangster. A short, fat little bully who steals lunch money from young children. In charge of the White House. If he didn't fit in so well with the rest of the circus Trump brought to town it might be a little funny, in a sad way. As it is it's only sad. The leader of the free world lacking even a single molecule of class, dignity.
And I doubt any of this is making any sense. I think I can be reasonably eloquent when I put a little thought into things. But I am so upset by all the carnage around me I can't seem to think straight.
From a guy who never once before in his 58 years felt particularly strong, politically, about anything much.
This country is collapsing 140 characters at a time. Death by twitter twaddle.
And you did it. Those of you who voted for and otherwise support Trump. You did it.

In the news today:
"AP:   Man tries to remove bees with fireworks, burns down garage."
Don't bother, I already checked - his name is not Trump. On the other hand and assuming that trainwreck otherwise known as the Donald doesn't destroy the planet in the next three and a half years or so - we may have already found his replacement.

What are the chances of discovering two people so equally qualified to run the country.....

"In tweet storm, Trump attacks MSNBC over ‘Morning Joe’ and ‘Greta,’ calls CNN ‘garbage journalism’ "
"Trump defends social media use as ‘modern day presidential' "
""President Trump Tweet Video of Him Punching CNN in the Face"
"Fox News host confronts Conway on Trump getting ‘crazy with Twitter’ "
"More Dems sign onto bill to impeach Trump"...

Just a few headlines from today's news. I could add more, probably many more of the same type. Just one day. Meanwhile nothing, absolutely nothing is getting done in Washington.
Welcome to the United States of an effing Joke. The laughing stock of planet earth. You, those of you who put him in office made us the biggest gag in the known universe. We went from leader of the free world to a pathetic loser in an instant.

The only winners at this point are Vladimir Putin, ISIS, and a variety of other terrorists organizations, you know, individuals and groups who thrive on anger and hate and negative energy generally.
Courtesy of you deciding it would be a good idea to elect a petulant pouty misogynistic dangerously neurotic 71-year old child who exhibits enough textbook psychotic behavior to warrant being committed, as your president.
Good work.

On the upside he will continue acting "presidential" which as we all learned in school means making up law as he goes parsing out rights based on his judgment of your religion or gender or color, destroying generations of international diplomacy, raping the planet censoring your news supporting terrorism grabbing your pussy giving us World War III deporting all the immigrants or anyone related to such which in the case of the US means EVERYBODY (except of course his fresh-off-the-boat trophy wife), and - reducing to absolute zero the value of effort and sacrifice of those who came before us and gave so much including their lives, for this country. Millions of people with millions of stories. Poof. Gone. Meant nothing.

And the best part is he's doing it all in 140 characters or less.
Because that's Presidential.

Recent surveys seems to indicate those who supported Trump at election time still support him. Now, I understand we are human and prone to mistake. Part of who we are. Another feature of being members of this particular species is that, we tend to be reluctant to own up to our mistakes. We all make 'em we all try to pretend we don't. I get that. Even still, at some point don't we need to ask some questions, like - at what point do you pull your head out of the sand and look around you? How much destruction is required before you finally open your eyes?
I am sad, I am embarrassed for all of us.
I am definitely worried for you and me both.
Your president is doing everything in his power to ensure we - you me and planet earth, are not safe.
And the Republican members of congress are following him around like a flock of brainless, frightened puppies, looking as if they will all step over the cliff together.
