Not anymore. When I read it the text ended "There no other words." That or I am hallucinating.

This is not the GOP of old, it is a new group dedicated to showing outrage that the 44th President of the US was a black man, or they affectionately refer to him using the "N" word.

Most of these brain-dead assholes came along around the same time for the same reason.

And we had better learn how to handle them. Because I hate to think of what could happen to this country if we had an administration that was this evil and corrupt in power that was actually SMART.

They use force to get their way. See: Putin, Hussein, Assad, Pinochet, Saudi and Iranian theocracies, the Mafia, the entire history of humanity, etc. ad nauseum

Trump's entire life to this point has been a version of "Oh yeah? What are you gonna do about it? That's what I thought: nothin'."

Its what he learned at Roy Cohn's knee, and he's practiced it consistently. It's how he won the GOP nomination: dominance displays. Its probably the only real "talent" he has. Bullying.

We keep hoping Mueller punches him in the nose and his minions jump ship. That's a big assumption.
