When this time is over (& it will be) & somebody asks me to describe its nature & spirit, I shall play this clip. It embodies the whole cruelty, nastiness, sneer, indifference, cockiness, glee, inhumanity, & evil. It proves they knew what they did was illegal, but they did it happily, voluntarily.

While kids go hungry and people lose healthcare, I do NOT support the ridiculous construction of a ballroom by tearing down part of the Whitehouse. It is the peoples’ house, not his. We are paying for this with tax money. And he has horrible, tacky taste to boot.

Inspired by one of the comments: although we might get through this, we have to deal with a big mouth and a real asshole.

The moral and right answer to “will you pardon a woman convicted of $ex trafficking young children” isn’t “Well, I’m allowed to…”. Pure evil.

You know who says, “Oh, you can’t take a joke?” Bullies. Bullies fall back on that when called out for saying or doing something that most people consider crass, mean, unfeeling, or just plain stupid.

Offering folks $5,000 to have a baby is wild—especially when y’all are the same ones trying to slash SNAP and Medicaid. The very benefits millions of Americans rely on to survive.
