Quote of the Day

December 20, 2016By Taegan Goddard

“Because no matter how we felt going into it, it is important for the health of this nation that we support the commander in chief. Wasn’t done when my husband took office, but we’re going high, and this is what’s best for the country. So we are gonna be there for the next president and do whatever we have to do to make sure that he is successful because if he succeeds, we all succeed.”

— Michelle Obama, quoted by Politico.

If Trump "succeeds" I fear our nation will be in grave danger. This is looking way too much like the Republican goal to install permanent one party rule. And their minions seem to be just fine with that.

Mrs Obama is a classy lady. I disagree with her on the amount of support I can give to help Trump succeed.

She's definitely my favorite First Lady of my life time.

It will probably be a cold day in hell before I can come up with anything nice to say about Herr Trump. Hell, I even found a few nice things to say about Dubya -- he was usually a good dresser, and at least one year his proposed plans for NASA weren't complete shit. And Barney was a good dog.
