King George couldn't do it. Hitler couldn't do it. Khrushchev couldn't do it. But, Thanks to treasonous plutocrats and Russian hackers, the dismantling of the United States of America finally began in 2017.

The good news is that Trump is doing such a spectacularly bad job in the White House that surely this will end the Republican Party once and for all. (Of course, I said the same of the George W. Bush debacle…but not even Dubya committed the stunning offenses that Trump pulls on a daily basis.)
