What should be being screamed about on every station today is that Trump has used the national tragedy of Charlottesville to claim he is the real victim. This was a terrible event for the country that ended in a terrorist attack that maimed and killed, the President has decided that the victims don't deserve an ounce of compassion because he himself is the real victim in all of this.

Insane and deplorable.

Can you imagine if Obama had used Sandy Hook as a platform to air his grievances against the press and claim that he was the real victim in all of this?

It's a take off on a old Molly Ivins joke about a Pat Buchanan speech "I preferred it in its original language, German'

Thanks for explaining to me in a gentle way that doesn't make me feel too stupid.

Was at a minor league baseball game Monday night and heard two Deplorables agreeing with each other that they like Drumpf because he "speaks his mind."

As tempted as I was to tell them "So do schizophrenic and Tourette patients, but that doesn't qualify them to be POTUS!" I just got up to get a beer.

45's term is doing a real number on my liver! And the Cult-45 isn't helping my blood pressure any either!

...waiting to attend the rally. She sounded like she was talking about Jesus and the crucifiction instead of tRump -

"He gave up his beautiful life because he loves us so much." Chilling and terrifying.
