Sometimes ignorance is bliss. I am more worried about our future now than before. I just can't understand how anyone can approve of this man let alone cheer, clap and praise him. I truly feel like we have slipped into an alternate universe. Why can people not see what is so obviously happening to this country? I just can't fathom why people think he is being honest and that he can make America great again. I just don't know...

I think we DID slip into an alternative universe and I think it happened when the Cubs won the world series! As a life long Cardinal fan, I was rooting for them to win so Chicago could have that feeling...but after that things got REALLY weird!!!

(63,221 posts)read anything about it - or even saw any photos. The sound of his phony, whispery voice made me sick in its insincerity. The smug, self-satisfied look on his face (and ditto for Pence and Ryan) just enraged me beyond belief. The fact that almost everyone in the media seems to think that he was "presidential" and sincere in his desire to do the things he says he is going to do makes me want to puke.
And the shameless way he used Ryan Owens's widow was absolutely one of the most revolting things I have ever witnessed. The fact that he used this as an opportunity to make himself look like some kind of hero, especially since the only reason she was there in the first place was because he FUCKED UP and was responsible for her husband's death, was just the ultimate in depravity.
I hate him with a white hot passion. I hate his entire administration with a white hot passion. The fact that there are so many people out there that want to normalize this is what really hurts though. I feel like I am about to go mad.
