Agreed and stipulated that Trump doesn't give a shit, and that he is pushing the line to see what and how much he can get away with. Honestly? He's the first and only person that I know of in all my many years that I have actually wished would die. Because the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one.

But at some point, it is going to have to be stopped. Just like Hitler...at some point, there was a drop dead situation.

We may all be dead before that happens, but it will happen.
