The Minute You Think It Could Not Get More Outrageous It Does.

Every day there is a new outrage and more chaos. Trump's international trip is an embarrassment beyond words. He is making us a pariah nation to much of the world And we look like a bunch of fools. At least Trump jumpers have created this catastrophe. The NATO summit is a disaster of all disasters. Trump has been successful at pissing off Europe.

I do not see how we can live with or forgive these racist goons. I am sure Putin and his gang are just laughing their asses off uncontrollably.

He was the last of the holdouts. He can now see how corrupt trump is, and that he's aligned with corrupt putin. He hangs his head with disappointment, not shame.

public-serving place of work.

The wooly mammoth sitting in the middle of the lobby, his name is never mentioned. Never. I'm positive that those who supported this buffoon are ashamed, you can actually see it in their eyes. Vocal before November, they have been amazingly quiet. It is surreal.

Hundreds of families pass through the doors daily and while it is not a place known for political oratory, there is a definite lack of any mention of anything political compared to the chatter that occurred "before".

I have yet to say his actual name out loud but prefer The Cretin. My co-workers who are of the Republican ilk Know NOT to even go there with me. They really don't have a leg to stand on and they seem to know it. Too late.

up, and the coworker wasn't specific. It was more generalized, about him realizing the dft wasn't going to keep his promises, wasn't going to drain the swamp, lied, and is part of the kleptocratic corruption.

are still trying to normalize his behavior. One of my local newscasters played the video of him shoving the guy out of the way to get to the front of the line and he (the commentator) laughed and said, "that was comical". Comical??? WTF? The supposed leader of our country shoves someone and it's comical?

We must stay alert to the normalization that they want us to accept and resist and call it out at every turn, every time. I've run out of descriptions for this jackass. How many times can we say he's a disgrace, disgusting, despicable, crass, rude, you name it. Our country is starting to accept this sort of behavior in our society and it saddens me.

every possible hideous trait of rampant entitlement of The Stupid.

The global damage this boorish oaf and his party of thugs has done to our country will be felt for decades. He has enabled the worst of humanity to practice a bilious self aggrandizement.

In fact, it is the entire GOP that is responsible for what we're witnessing now. Maybe not every representative, every governor, every senator, but when the smoke clears and the investigations lead to indictments, the depth and breadth of this Russian operation will be breathtaking, and the Republican Party will be exposed as a criminal syndicate involved in espionage and other high crimes.

Folks, the 2017 Republican Party's policies mirror and align very closely with those of Russia and other authoritarian regimes. It is no wonder that their pockets have been lined by Russian oligarchs for several years now. Trump is merely the ultimate manifestation of that rot, unique because he personally entwined with Russia years ago as they propped him up as an American oligarch. Unfortunately for Putinco, Trump is an idiot, and his utter stupidity will lay the groundwork for the revelation and the decimation of the GOP/Russia lovefest.
