He knows that any lie he says. His dimwit cult will buy it. If he were to tweet tomorrow- Barack Obama conspired with Al Queda to plan 9/11. I guarantee you that it would be accepted as true in many circles and SHS would be there front and center to make an excuse for it. This is the world we’re in. Where a dishonest lying son of a bitch like Trump was seen as a “straight shooter” and Clinton, who was not only more honest than Trump but also Sanders was seen as dishonest. I’m with Charles. I’m deeply depressed about where we’ve gone as a country. The fact that Trump was the GOP’s nominee was bad enough for me but that enough of our countrymen and women got him elected is just so depressing.

It’s sad that so many voted for him, but he got in because of a design in our electoral system that was supposed to keep people like him out, but that has been used by conservatives. It also required some help from a foreign country.

In some ways, what we’re having to deal with reminds me of a line from Doctor Who when he was dealing with the Silence in 1969. It’s not an invasion we’re repelling. They’re already here. It’s a revolution we’re having. And overthrowing the old guard is hard. But it has to be done.
