So angry those Republican senators who pushed a lie are now suing for being investigated that I would like to see the return of, if not public stoning, the pillory, and stocks, whereby crooks and conmen were tied up and pelted with rotten food. Public humiliation. Then jail. I have a list.
A command of language expressing keen insights and trenchant thought is what we look for in a world leader and is nowhere to be found in this one. This one lives in a fantasy without any reference to the real world. Pathetic. And dangerous.

"...and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A and the world"
A ludicrous statement. Knowing what form trump's care for young children takes, the world IS a dangerous place for them, with men like trump in it. Bad Bunny was amazing!

Republicans like to refer to the US as a "Christian nation". Here's the State of the Union:
Am ICU nurse steps in to assist a woman thrown to the ground. He himself is thrown to the ground facedown and shot dead.
The Good Samaritan story apparently doesn't resonate with them.

The DOJ was created to uphold the rule of law, keep the country safe,protect civil rights.
Trump's DOJ serves no other purpose than to cover up Republican atrocities and crimes while going down trump's hit list of Dems who dare to speak out. Nothing else, it's their entire reason for being.

Jonathan Ross has collected over 700,000.00 on his Go Fund Me, while DHS now claims, a week later, he was struck by the car and suffered internal bleeding. Murder, lies, a cover up and a grift. Just another day in the USA.

Referring to 'Radical left scum' in his Christmas message serves as a reminder: No matter how low he goes he'll always find a way to further lower the bar.

Al Capone's IQ was reportedly around 95, considered average intelligence, though by the time he was tested in prison, syphilis had significantly degraded his brain, with one doctor noting a mental age of 15.1.
Hmmm. That 15.1 yrs strikes a note.

In addition to pardoning David Gentile, Trump absolved him from having to make restitution. All the people robbed will never get back a dime. Trump's contempt for his constituents while embracing those who prey upon them is loathsome. As is he.

As gratitude is a virtue, considered the greatest, leading to humility and compassion, it's unlikely trump has ever experienced it; no evidence of any of those virtues. When he accuses Zelensky or anyone of ingratitude, he simply means he feels his ass was insufficiently kissed. Piggy indeed.

I used to wish for an extraordinary life, reading Kerouac as a suburban teenager, but as an adult in my 20's saw that wasn't gonna happen.
Much later I realized, though my life was ordinary, it had been filled, and continues to be filled with extraordinary moments. For me, that is more than enough

Unpopular opinion, I know, but I don't believe our pets would talk to us like a 3 year old gargling the English language, as some posts would have us believe. Santo, my dog, would speak in complete sentences, and sound like Hank Azaria.

A judge rules against the Administration, Steven Miller calls her a terrorist, her house is burned to the ground. Violence wielded with impunity. This scares the hell out of me.
