So. Does it only take one good performance for a despicable human to be forgiven?...

Seeing all kinds of praise in the media for the incredible change of tone and performance that Trump put on. I'll be honest I did not watch it. But I'm always disappointed in how even the most despicable of people like Trump can trick so many people by a simply putting on a good show or two and changing their usual crass tone.

So what. You sound presidential for one speech and everyone just forgets the fact that you have been a racist, misogynist, crass pig for decades and you suddenly get praise?

I wish that we could afford to leave the country. Never thought my life would end up in such despair.

they forget mr pu**y grabber.

Back to the same shit tomorrow. Let's see who he is going to bs tomorrow.

I heard a saying that holds true maybe for some but not for all:

Americans are the biggest bs'ers, and the easiest to bs.
