It's swell that mainstream media is almost universally (minus Fox News) calling out our crude, ignorant, corrupt, lying, racist, misogynistic, semi-literate, self-aggrandizing sorry excuse for a president for the stupid, deranged things he tweets and says.
When do they start attacking the harmful, regressive, repressive, anti-democratic policies Trump and his unqualified, lickspittle robber baron cabinet and their corrupt enablers in Congress are trying to inflict on us?
America might survive four years of this idiot. It will take generations to undo the idiocracy Trump's cartel is trying to install.

Kind of like the Tennessean
Kind of like the Tennessean calling Corker person of the year. Sheesh.
Imagine thinking that anyone
Imagine thinking that anyone paid much attention to the media anymore. Hell... The media ranting against Trump probably helps him. This is not George W bush. Trump gives zero fucks and it is going to be a long, painful 7 years for some of you.
Trump spends a lot of
(in reply to (Anonymous))
Trump spends a lot of “Executive Time” watching TV commentary about himself for a guy who ‘doesn’t care.’ His narcissistic personality disorder drives him to care what people say about him more than most.
Next you're going to tell me
Next you're going to tell me that it makes a hill of beans difference how many Hollywood stars are fussing about him.
Trump reminds us on a daily
(in reply to (Anonymous))
Trump reminds us on a daily basis that he is himself a “star.” It really suggests one too many hits to the head for y’all to prattle on about liberal Hollywood stars needing to shut up if you keep voting the conservative ones into office.
And most people do think
And most people do think those places are shitholes.

It's swell that mainstream
It amazes me how Trump supporters can turn a blind eye to all that Trumps done, and still are harping on the Clinton Foundation's funding of Chelsea's wedding which there appears to be no credible evidence of. Fox news is doing a great job of diverting the sheep away from the real stories.
It's swell that mainstream
Sorry, another double post.
Show me five Trump supporters
Show me five Trump supporters that have switch their vote because of this nonsense. This daily outrage that you guys have been fostering since November 2016... It's just you folks talking to one another about how pissed you all are... Boring friends and family. And wait until folks get those February tax cut pay raises.
Statistically you might do okay in the house. The Republicans will clean your clock in the Senate. And Ruth Bader Ginsburg is getting older as we speak.
Randy's most important point, which everyove so far has ignored,
is that the actual policies being adopted by the Republican majorities are designed to undermine the essence of democracy.
"When do they start attacking the harmful, regressive, repressive, anti-democratic policies Trump and his unqualified, lickspittle robber baron cabinet and their corrupt enablers in Congress are trying to inflict on us?"
Getting sucked into focusing on Trump's "characteristics" diverts attention from the things we will really regret.
