The whole sham of a presidency is starting to unravel before our eyes. We are witnessing behavior and statements coming out of the Oval Office that we've never seen before. Of all the men who have occupied that position, we've never had one so unhinged, corrupt and devious.

We know it is likely we will not get a president we like, but the clear and present danger of the madman we have now will be gone.
