Michael Moore said a lot of worrisome things on The Last Word. [View all]

He was on tonight with Lawrence O'Donnell and spoke of his belief that Trump's laziness and incompetence will bring another horrible attack to the country. I also think that the people around him, so many who are as ill suited as he is to serve, are going to screw everything up right along with him. I am afraid that Moore may be right.

When George Bush became president I was angry. Now I am fearful, a fear the sits on my shoulder all day and actually is affecting my life.

I have little hope that the electors have the courage to refuse to vote for him. They are being shaken down in mob style bulling by people working in Trump transition team.
