God, the obscenity of this day.
Even without the violence and the tragedy, is there a lower moral hurdle to clear than "Denounce the bastards wearing swastikas and chanting Nazi slogans?"
And when an American citizen is killed by a terrorist in service of one of history's most evil ideologies, is it really so much to ask of your President, "Stand WITH us, AGAINST them?"
Apparently so.
To a nation mourning a terrorist attack, he offered neither healing nor calm. Instead, he bragged about how well he did in the primary. Bragged about the economy. Attacked the press. Whinged. Aired old grievances. Spit piss at John McCain for robbing him of a victory on health care. Motherfucking boasted about owning a fucking winery in a community still washing blood off the ground.
And all that is abominable enough.
But then he did all he could to give cover to the terrorist's ideology. To lessen its evil. He stood at a podium adorned with the Presidential seal, and suggested that those who opposed white supremacy were equally as bad as those who killed in its name.
There were "very fine people" amongst the Nazis. The white supremacists were the ones with the permit, so in a way, THEY have the high ground. My god.
In his loathsome statements today, Donald Trump blamed Heather Heyer for her own death. By standing in protest of these diseased ideologies, Trump said, she was merely part of a regrettable morass where everybody was a little bit right, and nobody was totally wrong.
Not even the Nazis.
Whether it's Bob Mueller dragging him out of the Oval in cuffs, or the House GOP defensively impeaching him as his approval rating seeks absolute zero, or H.R. McMaster slapping a straightjacket on him before he can order bombers to attack CNN headquarters, or even, if we absolutely MUST wait so long, a deafening electoral avalanche in November 2020, the day is surely coming when we will be push this shitstain out of the People's House forever. As dark as this day is, we WILL be rid of him.
And when he's gone, we must NEVER stop scrubbing his stink from our nation.
Every executive order will be reversed. However long it takes, we will sandblast every molecule of his legacy from our government.
We'll rip every portrait off every wall.
Should anyone attempt to erect any monuments to this Blight on Decency, know the sun will never set on a single one of them, we'll tear them down so quick.
Should you break ground on a Presidential Library honoring this indecent fuck, know that we'll salt the earth before we let you so much as pour the foundation.
Should you slap his shitty little name on a battleship, future generations will refuse to serve on it, and it will rust and sink, forgotten and shunned.
We will hound Trump and Trumpism from our nation, however long it takes.
We. Will. Take. Our. Country. Back.

It has been a shattering few days.
Yes, we will take our country back.
he thinks EVERYONE SHARES his opinions of himself. He can't fathom that there is ANYONE who DOESN'T think the Universe revolves around him. That's how out of touch, how self-deluded he is.
He's a failure. He's been a failure his entire life, but thinks he's the king of the world. What an assclown. 
Just know you're not alone here and it's a big, gracious family...even if we do bicker sometimes! 
Stay strong and keep up the fight!
We will rise.
Nevermind, republicans are evil. 
It's great to have you with us!

And yet, in a bit of cosmic justice, there will always be this in the White House:
