You are being far too optimistic. It'll take decades to recover from this.

We warned people about Trump. But his apologists on this forum hand waved away Trump's bent toward authoritarianism. They made excuses about his lies. Trump is a POS. He's a bully. He's despicable in every way imaginable. Whoever warned us that "when fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross" must have been Marty McFly. Trump is the embodiment of Buzz Windrop.

He does break character, especially lately. I take it as worrisome sign of state of USA.
Only one? Eight years is not enough. This is one of reasons why I think you guys are screwed - in sense that it can't be resolved peacefully. Differences runs too deep and are irreversible. Only hope we all can have is that authoritarian corporate fascism will be yet again defeated.
Greatest....wartime......President.......ever.....
His experience fighting his own personal 'Nam in the New York nightclubs of the 1980s has left him uniquely qualified to lead his country in a world war.....

Well, obviously, some media deliberately send female reporters, preferably colored, to ask Trump questions he doesn't like. I don't blame them, it's their jobs. Just don't try to make statistics out of it.

Hitler would have loved him.

ETA: And no, Hitler didn't work like that. To a certain level he gave his generals a very wide slack to do what produced results.

"You have to be quiet because I have to sign this bill and it's really difficult."
Did you mean Biff Tannen? I think the similarities there are more than coincidental.

It is not going to be possible to simply to rescind the tax cuts for the ultra wealthy with the stroke of a pen that continues to loot the treasury, or fix the broken economy that has resulted. The insane debt that will never be able to be repaid. This is the cycle that the Republicans play into - let’s break the economy and give it away to our owners and donors and when we lose power blame the others for making us pay the piper.
It won’t be possible to undo the 187 and counting wealthy-friendly and women-and-minority hostle lifetime appointments to the federal judiciary everywhere. Or the two or more Supreme Court seats that he filled with his turds.
Biden (even if he wants to) will not be able to undo the havoc that these rich and powerful children have levied on the environment or take back these crucial years to help stem climate change.
He will not be able to restore the Diplomatic Corps or Department of State for a generation. Or fix the damaged psyches of migrant children separated from their families and locked in cages. He won’t be able to keep assurances from Iran developing nuclear weapons or intensified Russian domination over Ukraine or reasserting the support of the Kurdish people.

It was the guy on the other side who did that.
Normally I don't write things like this but a) it's true and b) she deserves it. And then some. At the Washington church photo op, does Kayleigh look downright skanky or what?

I think it is McEnany, not Ivanka.

I don't think its quite as easy as that.
First of all, some EOs might actually have some value to them. Granted, many of them were complete and total garbage (Muslim ban for example), but not all of them were. (For example, there are executive orders changing pay rates.)
Secondly, getting rid of the bad ones may require more thought than just "poof, they're gone". For example, the executive orders surrounding Iranian sanctions... ideally they should go back to the deal arranged by Obama, but they would probably have to negotiate with Iran to ensure both sides would be satisfied with the result.

There's a big difference between the subject matter: others post of dictators, I merely post of dicks.

Even if he wins and Dems hold the House and take the Senate, the damage can't be undone in one year. We would probably need at least a decade of Democratic control to get the job done.

Correct.
She is very much Trump's type. Ivanka is too old for him now.

I couldn't decide. The caption for the news photos I found didn't say, they just all mentioned Ivanka being there. But you're right. Kayleigh's in the same outfit in the image below.
