"In your guts, you know he's nuts" -- and a response:

I wear this button, a gift, everywhere. this morning, a kid who attends middle school in the area noticed it. his response: "I like your button. that thug just wants to start a war" (I spoke with him again this morning, and he wanted to assure me that most of the students feel the same way. They are all terrified that palpatine lite is going to start a war)

such things give me hope for the future.

It is, really, a fair question to ask if he is even competent to be held accountable for his actions, since he clearly has no concept of a difference between good and evil.

Loony bins were made for people like this.

To love is to hurt. Chaos is the preferred status quo. It's a twisted philosophy that has become our reality. We should all be terrified.

Evil forces destroy that which is “good.” Evil corrupts the good. This veritable principle crosses religious and ethical boundaries.

Evangelicals ought to know that.

Trumpy corrupts all that is good. That’s why Everything he touches dies.

I should note that Barry Goldwater was the very image of stability and good governance compared to Cheeto-the-Hutt.

I always get a kick of seeing what they thought the future would look like back then. Would be nice to be able to travel back to that time though.

This little 8 year old boy of Asian heritage said his name and had the most awful look on his face. I had to stifle myself from laughing outloud by his expression. The kid told me he hates maggot and wants President Obama back as President. I told you have to get your parents and relatives to vote him out in 2020 because he will be potus until then. Then these other kids started piping up how they hated him. I changed the subject and redirected them back to the assignment they were doing. But inside I was smiling and smirking.

Trump's narcissism and child separation policy and treatment of Puerto Rico (home) have motivated her. She's registered to vote for the firstt time in many years, and I know she will.
