THAT ... is a leader, friends.

(33,345 posts)How many families has she ripped apart? How many children has she caged?
How many of our allies has she alienated? How many murderous dictators has she praised?
Did she try to re-ignite warfare in the Middle East? Has she undermined the Pentagon and our military?
How many national elections has she requested foreign powers to intervene in? How many times has she violated the emoluments clause of our Constitution?
Gee. Saying "motherfucker" is equivalent to doing real and lasting damage to everything we've built upon in the world since World War II?
You may want to examine your condemnation meter.
