Nearly a third of Americans – 30% – say people may have to resort to violence in order to get the country back on track, according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.

It’s a sharp rise from 18 months ago, when 19% of Americans said the same.

    Sadly, the best defense we have is the fact that Trump is an idiot surrounded by dolts.

    A competent leader would have locked everything down years ago.

      A competent leader would have realized that the country is in a pretty good spot, he’s in a pretty good spot. They’d focus on helping the American people and improving the world and the country.

      They wouldn’t be Hitler with more grift.

      It takes a special amount of dumb to do the damage they’ve done. With their goals, they can’t, by definition, be competent.

        I’ve been saying this since 2016.

        All Trump had to do was call the Saudis on Inauguration Day and tell them that they were going to put $50 billion in his bank account.

        Then he could have sat back and done nothing.

        I’m a life long New Yorker, and I’ve seen Trump’s dumb for decades. Besides bankrupting casinos, he lost about a billion trying to buy the Plaza Hotel.
