Republicans go ape shit when President Obama delivers a salute

to a marine guard with a coffee cup in his hand. Days and days of outrage over this "disrespect" of the people who serve in our military.

Donald Trump stands in front of the wall of honor at CIA headquarters, and brags about how often he's been on the cover of Time. Did the Trumpster even acknowledge where he was standing, and what those stars represent?

Any Republican outrage over that?

(It's a rhetorical question. Of course not).

that is now running our country. I am so far beyond disgust and loathing for him that I don't even have a way of expressing it even to myself. After 80 some years on this earth, I just cannot seem to wrap my head around the fact this is what has just become our president.

he laid into him.

Also pointed out that the investigation going on is a "counter-intelligence" investigation, which means they are digging for a Russian mole in the Trump organization.

decided he needed to salute a statue of Lincoln. (Which did not salute back.)

When will he have a military uniform (like his boarding school one) created to make him look even more like the military types he adores? He sure loved saluting every other group in the inaugural parade, using his patented swivel salute, never before seen by real soldiers and sailors.
