(5,591 posts)They have stained our country. It isnt just the vile narcissist oaf and his despicable spawn. It is each and every enabler of his brand of vomitus lack of character and self-worshipping adoration and blatant, pathological hate. We are being daily ruined by the worst of humanity.
We bred this type of vile scum.
We will suffer the consequences until he and his repulsive ilk are kicked back under their rocks.

(7,142 posts)to the millions of hateful, bigoted people who comprise a big part of the Republican party. These people aren't "for" anything as much as they hate minorities, Democrats, women, or whatever or whoever. I know, I live amongst them in central Pa., my 85 year old golfing buddy is the nicest person one could meet. He is a Korean war veteran. He did meals on wheels, serves at military funerals, but hates women and minorities. He said the worst mistake our country made was giving women the right to vote, at first I thought he was joking. He said his granddaughter isn't all bad, she hates minorities. He hates the people who take a knee at the anthem but loves Trump. He will never change, nor will the millions of people just like him, and worse.

(28,125 posts)To befriend such people... I simply cannot contain my contempt for them. Their negative, bigoted attitudes just overwhelm me. This also applies to my extended family.
I am also surrounded here but not by the worst of them, thank goodness.

(14,155 posts)....McCain had the audacity to say something disparaging about him.
McCain will suffer the wrath of the Royal House of trDump even after his passing.

A number of reporters and commentators noted that the flags had in the past remained lowered to honor lawmakers and major public figures until their funerals.

Do I need the sarcasm thingy?

This act of Trump's is just like his pissing on John McCain's grave.
Trump is sending a message to anyone who opposes him and this is why Republicans in Congress will shy away from Trump's disgusting act.

But there is discretion-it can be a longer time if the president designates. But we don't have a president. We have a petty thief.

(5,591 posts)The Cretin is only and all about the Cretin.
Party doesnt matter, at all.
Country doesnt Matter, at all.
Decency certainly doesnt Matter.
Truth is non-existent.
Character is void.
People? Only to serve him.
Money? Only to serve his purposes but certainly meaningless if he owes someone.
He holds petty grudges against everyone...alive or apparently, dead. Expect this week to be overflowing with vile acts of attention getting spooge.
And the Republicans will gleefully play his anti-humanity hate games as long as it lines their coffers and furthers their power over non-white, non-male, non-wealthy citizens.
Integrity, dignity, class, conscience...none matter.
They have their rock star cultist emperor of
Narcissist puke controlling the brain dead masses of soulless American wretchedness. All is great in their vomitus world.
Why would they stand for or support anything else?
It is a constant wet dream for them.
