    Yes, thankfully we gave the last admin the boot for the same shit its unfortunate that people thought these assholes were a good idea. But trump is doing exactly what he said he would. I wish democrats had an ounce of the willingness that trump does to meet their base’s wants. Then we probably wouldn’t be in this mess.
