It's both comforting and terrifying that a Roman politician 2000 years ago could utter a sentence about his government and it sounds exactly like something someone would say today.

America's survived with its good name intact after Nixon, Cheney and two Bushes, I think it will survive Trump to perfectly fine.

I don't get why people  think that Trump will not sit the whole term. I reckon Trump will sit this term fully, and probably has a good chance being re-elected for a 2nd term.

If George Bush can sit 2 terms, an asshole like Trump is more than certain to be able to sit 2 terms as well.

Collusion with a foreign enemy, for one, is a possible reason he won't make it to two terms. Defending Nazis and white supremacists doesn't help either.

Instead of making USA a better country to live in, you are chanelling all your energies to hate your president, your country and your culture.

Because you are programmed to do that.
Do you ever question why it is so?

For decades the academia is teaching you what to think, and not how to think.
Universities are the centers of Marxist indoctrination.
Churning out sjw, antifa, snowflakes.
Not knowledgeable, productive, useful citizens.

On the road to perdition.

The US is Rome.  And Cicero was a great guy, but a loser to Mark Anthony and Octavian ... in the end.  Power comes from the end of a gladius - Maous Sinicus

But but ... the Clintons are traitors too.  In the late Roman Republic, everyone was, except for Cicero and Cato the Younger.  In the end the Mafia facts on the ground ... read as tea leaves said ... we don't need no stinking Republic!

So welcome to the Empire.  Your audience with Emperor Caligula will begin shortly.  Goodus luckus!

We have been OK since the OSS/CIA got with FBI and had sexy photos of Truman in flagrante delicto?  Every President since, have been controlled MIC assets.  Trust your Praetorian Guard ... or else!

All depends on if he does what he is told.  So far he has.  The Tea Party insurgency has been completely neutered.  DoD and Goldman-Sachs are in complete control of their new puppet, same as the old puppet.  All they have to do is show him the film of George W chocking on pretzels, or the real Zapruder film.

"Pick up and read" ... the message from G-d (through children playing a game) to St Augustine that made him a Christian.  But that is late Rome.

So, you have declared war on Putin?  I kind of like him.  On that horse, in Siberia, galloping along with no shirt on ...

Or did you mean FDR colluding with Winston Churchill?

Also, his own knuckledragger core is pissed off at him now, because he cut a deal with Pelosi and Schumer -- apparently they haven't heard that politics is more than stamping your foot and screaming "NO!" when you don't get your way without compromise.

I genuinely hope he'll only be a one-termer.  Or less, if the Mueller investigation turns up sufficient dirt.

I fucking hate it when you say this!!! But I fear it is exactly what will happen.  Trump impeached--not gonna happen.

Trump's campaign manager Mr Manafort ... seems to have a lot of dirt under his bed.  So it could lead back to the Boss of Bosses.

That argument can be made to object to external enemies and honest objectors to govt practices within.
