Please, one day, ONE day, without being embarrassed to be an American.

Dear lord...I'm afraid to travel without an "I DIDN'T VOTE FOR THE ORANGE SHITGIBBON!" t-shirt. What has happened to this country? Can justice be done with an all-GOP Congress? Unlikely.

I'm not just afraid period. We've already been embarrassed today. This Country is being destroyed before our eyes. I'm disgusted.

Even through W's disastrous presidency, I was still able to take pride in my country. This is several orders of magnitude worse. The Orange Monster has NO IDEA of normal, decent human behavior, let alone how to be presidential.
