Our president is making new enemies by the day. We need to get him out of office now.
He promised no new wars and yet he's doing things that substantially raise global tension, and the rest of the world can see that. This is not good.

@whowasthatmaskedman Not until we find a way to work around the ridiculous Supreme Court decision on Citizens United and return Congress to representatives of the people rather than which ever oligarch spends the most, so there is actual debate and attempts to find consensus, common middle ground on which to govern, and return to checks and balances that used to serve us well.

@dancingtongue As an internal political matter, you are totally correct. However, there is a whole world out there that America isused to being the captain of and doing the steering, for better or worse.. So there is a feeling among most Americans that if you can fix America, everything will be fine. Now we can argue who and how all day. But right now America is a rotting corpse kept on life support by extraordinary measures. Every US citizen owes the rest of the world over $100,000 for stuff they already bought and used..The interest bill alone is over a $trillion a year and the country is in the last economic stage before collapse and bank failures..Now thats bad,. But worse is that thanks to Trump and his people, NO ONE IN THE WORLD CARES! Reaction to Americas problems around the world runs from apathy, to outright glee. (Unless you happen to be a drug lord with $Billion in small bills that is about to halve in value..)😷

@whowasthatmaskedman .
Or discarded, trashed, or otherwise wasted. Our overly-consumptive ways -- deliberately and systematically exploited through marketing and retailers by the international corporations and oligarchs -- are our biggest Achilles' heel.

@whowasthatmaskedman Well, I did get a B + in Economics although I only attended the initial lecture for the syllabus and schedule of exams, and never read the text. 🤪

@dancingtongue I keep trying to tell people "Its not rocket science". But really its just housekeeping on a grand scale
