We need a Constitutional Convention to reform and clarify (not refute) MUCH of the Constitution. Too much has obviously been left to 'understood' norms! We must be willing to take the risk!

True! And I hate it when it's said that celebrities should not voice their politics. They have an obligation to do so given the platform they have earned.

Look, the Democrats are far from perfect, but compared to the Republicans', they are saints. Why would any sane, moral, ethical person identify themselves with the Republicans???

The pundits are correct that Trump and his administration are an abomination. But what I don't get is why more outrage and disgust is not channeled towards Republicans in general and specifically those in Congress who could easily stop this madness through impeachment. They are bringing us all down!

But it won't make any difference. His base seems to embrace his scandals, even encourage them. His party continues to turn a blind eye and keeps giving him more power to perpetuate his immoral, unethical, and illegal actions. He needs to keep being called out, but his supporters need to be too!
