Jesus H. Christ, he proved before he was even elected that there was no chance in Hell that he was or could be a moral anything. He's the epitome of everything that could be wrong with any alleged human.

Now we are a dangerous laughing stock. The world knows that t-rump and the GOPers could bomb a sovereign nation at any time while kissing ass with Russia and North Korea.

Accidently saw Pompeo arriving in North Korea and I thought he was going onto is knees.

Sorry to say.

Hopefully that will change. But not with Trump or the current Republicans in Congress.

when he lied to the United Nations about aluminum tubes and "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq. As far as I'm concerned, he has no moral standing to offer his opinion on anything at all.

US moral authority started to crumble under the lies that took us into Iraq which has cost millions of lives, energized ISIS, and helped bring on the world wide economic crisis of the early 2000's.

Trump just makes their lack of moral core obvious because he's a buffoon. But Repugs are all of a piece.
