It's even more astonishing that he's either too stupid or too self-absorbed to know he needed to put in some kind of appearance today. Heck, the racism may be the least unkind thing I can say about that decision.

what has happened since November of 2016. As you and I have observed over the last years,the GOP has never been a Governing Political Party,only a Party that wins Elections and fooling the Ignorant uninformed Voters with smoke and mirrors with a Bullshit Propaganda Message.

Now we have the true evidence of their ability to handle the rudder of the ship of State. Their Themes of it is the Dems fault that we have issues is pure bullshit and has always been. Manafort,Ailes,Attwater,and Roger Stone proved the GOP could get elected if they stayed on message,with the help of a complicit Media. And they proved they could elect someone with functioning digits necessary to sign their legislation.

Sure appears the GOP and Trump are about to Rape our Nation Financially and cause a massive decades long recession. Folks should read the History of the Late nineteen twenties. We are in a mirror of that time frame. And if we see a Federal Shutdown on Friday,well that will be the match that lights the fuse. And Trump could care less,his money is stashed in who knows how many Shell Accounts over seas.

you'd think he'd do one thing 'ceremonial' on MLK day just so he doesn't appear as racist as he is.

but, i don't think he gives a shit.
