I have just epiphanied, if thats a word, my News Years resolution. I will not ever again refer to

trump by his official title. Not only has he not earned or deserved his aforesaid title, criminals deserve no honorifics while continuing to behave criminally.

I know this seems a small thing but I tend to have respect for people who honestly try to help society by serving the public interest. Republicans in general and trump (forever after with a small t ) have forfeited the right to anyone’s respect. Especially mine. They have become irredeemably corrupt and soullessly evil.

Is an alien concept to most Republicans. They are in general very selfish and judgmental of another person's circumstances.

COMRADE Trump, which, BTW, is the same official title of Pence, Nunes, Kushner, McConnell, Ryan, Roherbacher, Graham, everyone else in this administration, a members of Congress with an "R" after their names, and employees of their propaganda media. Also, their flying monkey cult followers.
