They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

"At least 30K Americans DIE each year waiting to be approved for Social Security Disability Benefits". - Former Social Security Commissioner Martin O'Malley

It took me nearly three years to be approved. Finally was in front of the judge for 5 minutes and he approved me. People die while waiting to be approved. I pity them if they try to take it away. They don’t know out determination. We are warriors.

They should have come back, the place is on fire.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good.
Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.
