In countless ways, our deplorable president is a complete embarrassment

I can't watch it, can't listen - just read enough to become nauseated.

We finished Ken Burns Vietnam tonight. Episode 10 is one to get the kleenex box ready for. Words can't do justice to the relevance and excellence of the series. 10 episodes, 20 hours - and yet it leaves you wanting for more; somehow, that huge time span couldn't fully cover a few aspects. Not a complaint - there is really no way to cover this period of history in a perfect manner, but this will be a standard that probably can't be bettered, and it is so complex that it will require a few times through it all (for those who can bear to watch it).

But - my point - Trump is out Nixoning Nixon in pure horrible factor. He is a lying scumbag like Nixon - but with only a fraction of the brain power or political skill. He is every bit the criminal - likely worse (as many of us know, and others are slowly finding out)

He is simply as bad as it can get (one hopes).

Lobbing rolls of paper towels like the great beneficent white hope.

Ass. Hole. What a douche.

Yeah, he makes us look horrendous. This is who we are now. He is a monster and we are reduced to buffoons.

I hope and pray...that he resigns or is resigned, and Pence along with him, and Ryan, and all the rest of them, but starting with the giant ass in a red hat with french cuffs and his disaster windbreaker and xxxL khakis. What a fucking goon.
