This Party and its snakepit of voters are a filthy swamp of lying, greedy racists. And they protect sexual predators too.

I’m an old white guy. So, I like to think that when I say something or someone is racist that people might give that opinion additional credence.

The Trump administration is blatantly and unmistakably racist. This administration is also misogynistic. Incredibly so.

So, Trump is purging the federal workforce of non-whites with special focus on black women.

There seems to be a special hatred for highly competent black women who have managed to ascend to positions of authority against all odds.

This is all fundamentally wrong and will take decades to fix.

I am so ashamed of my country.
