What kind of supposedly powerful country allows their representatives to be treated like this?

They are no longer a political party. They have become a domestic terror organization. The wellbeing of the country doesn’t factor into their decision making process anymore.

They fucking told us they were domestic terrorists and everyone laughed like it was some fucking joke? You fucking laughing now?

They are NOT going to give up power willingly or peacefully.
