Not to sound callous, but basically Trump's presidential election in another country.  Almost like it's becoming a trend. 

Its a clear trend.  Commented on by everyone from The Nation, PBS to Fox and Sky news.  The world still takes its queue from america even though that is changing increasingly.   Scum around the world still like how we do things apparently.

Bill Mayer is still on and  "Last Week Tonight with Steven Oliver" is especially cutting.   Its funny but not just funny for the sake of being funny.

Oh my freakin' goodness, this can't be real!!!  Plus possible jail time for LAUGHING!!!!!

Donald Jr.'s Best Defense? That He's An Idiot

"Published on Jul 13, 2017
Donald Trump Jr.'s many lawyers might be wondering if there's such thing a stupidity plea."

[Draco1958]

These last two videos by Stephen Colbert only show what many Americans see, that Trump does not deserve to be President.  The Republicans and Trump followers keep harping on how Hillary should be prosecuted over her emails so I wonder if they feel the same about Trump Jr..  Since the emails prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he intended to receive illegally gotten info about Hillary and was willing to use it to sabotage her campaign Don Jr. should be prosecuted.  It is against federal law for any campaign to receive donations or any assistance to their campaign.  And since Jr. planned to accept the information and use it means he planned on performing an illegal act and should spend time in prison.  Conspiracy to commit the act is just as bad as doing the act.  Can't wait for the spin and deflection coming over this.  Be prepared to hear a slew of Hillary this and Hillary that to justify his actions.  To deflect away from this.  I am not saying Hillary hasn't done wrong.  What I am saying is that Trump and his family are just as dirty if not more.  How can a Presidential candidate claim he is for the working person yet brag that he files bankruptcy on his casino to avoid paying 3 contractors and say the deserved to go bankrupt and the business's go under.  And yet he got elected.  This pattern of thought scares me as to what people are thinking when they put a businessman in charge of the country who's first actions are to give breaks to companies so they make more profit which will not be rolled back into the companies in order to hire more people.  Reagan tried it and it failed.  Seems no one learns from past mistakes.
