Being President is about a whole lot more than just putting money in your pocket. He is destroying the fabric of our society, such as giving white supremacy a voice, no respect for the rule of law, trying to control the media, sure isn't doing anything good about health care, destroying the environment, ruining education, causing everything to increase in price due to the trade wars, causing an absurd deficit when there is no crisis, alienating us from all of our allies, losing all credibility on the world stage except from a bully tactic perspective, a complete religious shame just using religion to push his objectives, on and on it goes. But if all you care about is your bank account and you are lucky enough to be in the top 10% so that you actually have a bank account, and your white, then kudos to you.

@Fezzik30 Yup, kudos to me!!

@16classic How classically empathetic, intelligent and altruistic of you! "SCREW EVERYONE ELSE...I'M MAKING MONEY!"

I must disagree! We're in the middle of a mess caused by our inattention and lassitude. WE CAN FIX THIS. And, we will!

@LucyLoohoo I know too many that can not be swayed regardless.

@gettinthere Than...they need to get out of the way before they're run over!

I like Rachel a LOT!

I don't think Congress will do Anything until they feel the heat from their constituents. And judging from fb, I don't see ANY change in their blind adulation.

The TV through the window was satire from the Borowitz Report, seen in The New Yorker. But probably more true than spoof.

I'm a fan of Andy Borowitz: Link-[newyorker.com]

@birdingnut OK, thanks. But I'll bet one will soon really sail through a window.

I have no confidence in about 35% of the voters that's why the rest of us have got to vote in November with a BLUE WAVE from coast to coast.

"He" may be stunted in his ability to assess. "I am WOMAN. Hear me roar." PINK wave.

@GuyKeith

Remember that Hillary Clinton won three million more votes than Trump. I love this paragraph:

"Trump’s political success has infuriated and alarmed people who detest him. They can’t believe that so many Americans voted for, and continue to support, such an egregious fraud. His critics worried that his base would ignore most of his fabrications, and they were right.”

Last April with two other volunteers, we registered 74 high school students to vote, during four, one-hour lunch hours. The high school provided tables and chairs. (As volunteer college mentors, our high school background checks were done.)

"Register to VOTE!" I yelled, dancing and waving my arms with a big smile. "RIGHT HERE at these tables! It takes TWO MINUTES! The media says you will not vote. Prove them wrong!"

We will do it again in September and October.

At Democratic headquarters, I will call those students and urge them to vote in the Midterm Elections.

@starwatcher-al do you really think voting deomocrat or republican makes one rat ass difference. It's just two sides of the same coin.

BTW...you know there is the Liberaterian and Green parties you could also vote for - instead of keeping up the cycle of unproductive BS.

Also, once in office, how many people write their elected officials to weigh in on items being voted on? When people thank me for my military service, I try to be tactful, but essentially tell them that voting in a popularity contest and not being involved in their government shows me they really don't appreciate my service - they are just being lazy and want people to think for them.

@jondspen Yes...it DOES matter! Voting DOES MATTER! Do you think the Obama administration was some kind of fluke? Recommending a SPLIT between various parties is suspicious to me because it will not end well. I'm sorry you're so cynical about our system.

@LucyLoohoo no well, you didn't address any of my points I made, and you then talk about some split between various parties?!? Nice way to deflect...and btw, Obama's talk of change went out the door when elected and started putting in the same ol' political faces that had been around for decades in Washington.
Also, not sure what your "split" comment inferred, nor if you even know the platforms of the various parties, but there has been multiple political parties in the USA and have existed for many years prior, so it's not a SPLIT, unlike the Tea Party movement ideological split from the republican party. It's just that american's are duped into thinking there are only two choices, or any other choice isn't a real choice.

Also, I am very cynical b/c I see how much we spend on the military, I have studied history (go look as Eisenhower's farewell address), and see via my time in the Marine Corps the lies that our government spouts about democracy and freedom compared to foreign and domestic policy. I'm sorry you're so naive and gullible about our system...and not realizing big money drives both the Republican and Democratic parties, and it matters very little to either what you or I think, feel, suffer, or endure.

@jondspen You're not only cynical...you're also judgmental and have decided I know nothing of politics, party splits and platforms. Fine. Leave me to my many years of political activism and go on your merry way, ignoring the very real differences in the two major parties.
