The President posts his reflections on Parkland, one year later.

@BarackObama

In the year since their friends were killed, the students of Parkland refused to settle for the way things are and marched, organized, and pushed for the way things should be - helping pass meaningful new gun violence laws in states across the country. I'm proud of all of them.

But you posted the thoughts of a real President.

I have no interest in what Fuckstick von Grand Wizard of 1600 Pennslyvania Ave has to say about anything since it would be some self serving horseshit.

,,,in the last two years, I have never posted a post with a subject line with the words "President Trump." If I copy and paste a subject line from a source that says "President Trump," I leave out "President" and just post "Trump."

He doesn't honor the office, I don't honor him by posting his alleged job title.

But then I saw that it was OUR REAL (and TWICE legitimately-elected without any help from a hostile foreign power) President, Barack Obama. Him I'll listen to. That orange thing with the yellow shredded wheat biscuit on his head is no such thing.

“Fuckstick von Grand Wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.”

This is, however, a much grander and far more distinguished nickname than even THIS particular Fuckstick deserves.

Holy Canolli, 47of47! I stand in total awe...

‘If you're ever sad, remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to be alive at the same time as Barack Obama’
