This country really does need a complete hosing and rearrangement. How can we think one thing is ok and the other isn’t. Sometimes I think the nation is as crazy as trump. How else did we get here?

because a Black man had the "audacity" to become POTUS. He didn't have to do anything more than that to make those arseholes apoplectic.

The fucking moron can NOT be compared to any POTUS in history since he is already worse than all the bad one combined.

We need a whole new level of comparison, at least on a human/non-human scale. This is beyond being a political discussion/assessment anymore. This is an issue of the species as a whole. He is not a human. He is an evil entity that will never really die. How do you destroy that? Even an exorcism wouldn't do the trick.

Fill in the blanks, especially if the name belongs to a woman or any person not white.

This is nothing but feigned outrage, stoked to the ceiling by the GOP/MAGA leadership. It works because their base is nothing more than ignorant, racist, bigoted, ...(more synonyms could easily follow) sorry excuses for a human.

Emails, tan suits, woke, etc. 3 word slogans with 3 syllables - so easy a moron could do it.

We’re so dead as a country. Never wanted to ever say that.

Ok, the crying things…..were a bit much. But, I seriously can’t believe how bad as a country we’ve become.
