Yes Virginia, Elections Really Do Have Consequences…

And we are living thru them now.

Republican leaders were enraged when President Barack Obama reminded them of this after his 2008 victory. But President Trump has given new and macabre meaning to the phrase. For now, five months after we put our way of life in mothballs, we see how much ruin and unnecessary suffering has been caused by his election and his attempt at reelection.

It would be funny if it weren’t so serious… Everything this president* has done, had it been done by a Democrat, would be subject to investigations and lawsuits… Oh wait, that’s what has been happening. Just without any cooperation from the Republicans in office, and with absolute road locks by the legal community in the government…

Our suffering for Trump’s failures is just beginning. We have sacrificed half a year, $3 trillion of our treasure and 157,000 lives — and it has been squandered by one man’s incompetence. Not just incompetence, but incompetence in the misguided pursuit of his personal interests over the needs of the nation he leads.
