crackpots, bigots, knuckle draggers, and know-nothings. You know, folks like your Crazy Uncle Gus who nobody wants to sit next to at the holiday table; the Crazy Uncle Gus who is a blowhard and has the answer to every world problem when in reality he doesn't know jack shit. You know--just like *45.

Evening News tonight and he didn't give *45 any slack at all. I think the media is finally waking up to how horrific this all is and that will get the disinterested people's attention. IF they keep at it, because the people you speak of--I know they have the attention span of a gnat. The Foxbots are a lost cause, but they are only about 24% anyway.

watch their own special news created just for them, and they're angry that such a wonderful man, their man, is the subject of a blizzard of lies by a vast, vicious liberal conspiracy to take out their democratically elected president.

Hey, I know I would be too if the person I voted for had been targeted by a vast, vicious conspiracy to destroy her.

He didn't know when to stop. Now he is where he can't hide, and can't BS everyone.

He is the Emperor with no clothes, but only one side of the street can see he is naked ... for now.

He should quit and go back to screwing the gullible out of their money and pretending to be a great business man.

when you attain the level just after your highest level of competence.

If the Peter Principle were really in effect for Trump, he wouldn't have made it past cleaning up bodily fluids in the booths at a peep show.

The guy at the end of the bar who boasts and brags about how many woman he gets, how he is smarter then everyone else blah blah blah. He is a demented game show host who isn't fit for any office. He is a joke. The longer republicans stay hitched to this asshole they will lose. Not only elections but any dignity they might have once had.

They have no agenda to improve this country, or solve problems. Each election is another empty suit, with lots of arm wrestling behind the scenes. Our side has had no answer to the gerrymandering, intimidation, and propaganda that they've pushed on the country.

Seen on George Takei's Twitter page today:

A Russian spy, a sexual predator, and a billionaire walk into a bar.

Bartender says: "what can I get you, Mr. President?"



And while I'm at it, farther down the page was
Trump's five month mission? To boldly go where Nixon has gone before.

And America is full of them. Tens of millions of them, in fact.

I'm proud to be an American and I'm proud to be a Democrat. I truly believe there is cognitive dissonance in the mental state of almost every single Republican.

and not over the air, so that destroys 2 out of his 3 top weapons. All he has left is bullshit and people are starting to see through it in greater numbers. About all he'll have left in a few more weeks are those people who live in a bubble of complete unreality, like the lawn sprinkler rainbow lady at YouTube.
