There's your WMD, right there. An ugly mouth that just won't quit.

Compulsive, interminable yakking, a solidly-proven inability to listen to anyone, anyone but a bigger bully.
If I were going to turn a nation inside-out, I'd start with its very language. I'd use a powerful (rich) idiot as a weapon, then COUNT on him to destroy the meaning of our precious language. And then have him talk over absolutely everybody, with the media's help.

He can't shut his damn mouth, interrupting everyone including himself. Won't let anyone else say anything. HAS to TALK OVER EVERYBODY. Please sweet Jesus get this loud, abusive, obnoxious, essentially empty person out of office soon.

(Do I have to even start on trump's tweeting "habit"?)

It's hateful that he's wasted 2 and a half years of our lives. Everyone's life. Personal, daily triumphs we used to enjoy are overshadowed by our fears of the present and future.

Thanks for being here, smirkymonkey. Your rants are inspired.

Sometimes I can't help myself. I just have to let it rip in a safe place because otherwise I feel like I will lose my mind. I don't like how much I swear these days. I never used to be so foul-mouthed!

Glad you are here too Sugar Smack!

is a constant gut wrenching terror and we aren’t undocumented! It has to be much worse for them.

I'm sure it's horrible and so much more terrifying for them as well. When trump's tweeting threats and insults, all he's doing is sitting on the toilet. The butterfly effect of this is that there are all of those, particularly immigrants, who suffer immediately. Now and then, I'm allowed to shove it to the back of my head if it doesn't affect me immediately, but not often. I get to though. But my skin's crawling.
