No, the Mango Moron hasn't said or tweeted this—yet—but seriously, has anyone in history ever been more vicious and vindictive than Trump? Bad enough that he had Purple Heart recipient Lt. Col. Vindman escorted from the White House grounds after testifying in the impeachment hearings (along with his brother, who did not testify), but now there is serious concern that Vindman's promotion will be sabotaged by President Donald J. Bonespurs.

Thank you, Senator Tammy Duckworth (another Purple Heart recipient) for defending Lt. Col. Vindman from Trump's treachery by demanding a written commitment not to block Vindman's promotion. I'm sure that the 1,000-plus other officers on the list of promotions will support your action, even it means their promotions are held up a bit—at least the ones deserving of promotion will support you and support Lt. Col. Vindman.

P.S. Senator Duckworth, you are my pick for Veep!

demand to know what they intend to do in response to Trump's doing absolutely nothing after being briefed that Russia was paying the Taliban bounties for killing U.S. service members. Oh, wait, I'm wrong! He didn't do nothing. He worked to get Russia back into the G7 and withdrew troops from Germany!

Also demand that they vote for the harshest of sanctions on Russia and the expulsion of all Russian officials from the U.S. and banning the entry of any Russians to the U.S. beginning immediately.

And while you're at it, demand that Republicans join in with their Democratic colleagues and re-impeach Traitor Trump and this time kick his treasonous ass out and imprison him for high crimes and misdemeanors against the United States of America.

Seriously, we cannot wait until November to get him out of the White House! What the hell else is he going to do? What (additional) national secrets will he deliver to Putin? What country will he nuke?

So please, please call your Congresspeople today. We need to put the pressure on the Repugnant Party to finally put country over party.

I just saw the video on CNN of the outrageous maneuver by Republican Louie Gohmert to disrupt the hearing by rapping loudly on the table during a witness's opening remarks as a way of objecting to Nadler giving the witness more time to deliver his remarks. And he refused to stop rapping on the table after being told repeatedly by Nadler to stop.

Oh, my God! Why didn't Nadler have the sergeant-at-arms haul him out? Why?! My blood is boiling right now!

I love Jerry Nadler, but he needs to be replaced as chairman of this hearing and other high stakes hearings such as this. We need someone in charge of these meetings who can go medieval on these jerks when they pull this shit! Get Nancy Pelosi, get ANYONE who can get honest-to-God PISSED and take action!

Trump MUST be forced to resign from office now! We can't wait until November!

From his botched response to the pandemic to his equally disastrous response to the George Floyd tragedy and subsequent riots (both of which having revealed with stark clarity Trump's true amoral, sociopathic, corrupt, vile character), along with all of the previous outrages from the last three years, . . . there is ample cause for him to be removed immediately.

I am absolutely horrified by the escalating crises that our nation is experiencing at this very moment and completely terrified thinking of what Trump might do in the upcoming months before the election, not to mention between the election and Inauguration Day after he loses to Biden (fingers crossed so tightly they're purple).

Traitor Trump is on a slash-and-burn rampage and is hell-bent on checking off every item on Putin's "Destroy America To Do List." What is he going to do next? Hand over our nation's top secret national security data to Putin, if he hasn't already?

And you know he's just itching to nuke something. Will he nuke North Korea before he leaves office? Nuke Iran? Nuke China? Nuke Ukraine? Nuke California?!

If any Republican senators or representatives are reading this, it is WAY past time for you to act on behalf of your country, not your own political and personal self-interest. Get off your sorry, party-protecting butts, march over to the White House, and Barry Goldwater his ass! In Goldwater's own words, referring to Nixon:

“There are only so many lies you can take, and now there has been one too many. Nixon should get his ass out of the White House—today!”

Republicans, you have the precedent. Now do you have the moral fortitude?

My new nickname for Mango Mussolini! A quick Google search did not turn up anyone else using "Typhoid Trump" yet, so let's all start calling him that. Short, catchy, it's bound to go viral.

What my Google search did find was this article from July 2019 called: "President Trump and Typhoid Mary: When Lies Become Epidemic."

[link:https://www.mediavillage.com/article/president-trump-and-typhoid-mary-when-lies-become-epidemic/|

The article almost seems quaint, hearkening back to a simpler time when "all" we had to worry about was Trump's lying. Now we are dealing with the horrific truth captured by Rick Wilson's book title: Everything Trump Touches Dies.

Anyway, "Typhoid Trump" is my contribution to the anti-Trump campaign, and I hope to hear it lambasting him in campaign ads and yelled at his motorcade as it drives by, and see it on T-shirts, billboards . . . it'll be YUGE!

Would someone PLEASE ask at Trump's next press briefing (if there is one): "Mr. President, you refuse to wear a mask to protect yourself from the coronavirus. According to porn star Stormy Daniels, you also refused to wear a condom to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases when you had sex with her. There seems to be a pattern here. Do you believe that risky behavior is a sign of manliness? Psychologists might say you were overcompensating for a small penis. How would you respond to that, Mr. President?"

I just found out that John Prine has died from coronavirus, and I am devastated and so very angry!!! Trump killed John Prine. Killed one of the kindest, gentlest, humblest, most insightful storytellers this world will ever know. R.I.P. John Prine!

Hillary Clinton underwent a two-year-long, $7-million investigation in which she was accused by Republicans of failing to protect the four Americans who were killed during the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi.

Now we have a president who, to date, has failed to protect over 3,000 Americans from being killed by the coronavirus and who gloats that if he keeps the death toll to 100,000 Americans dying that he has done a "pretty good job."

Trump needs to be called before the House of Representatives NOW to explain why he did absolutely nothing to protect us from a deadly virus he knew about three months in advance.

Trump hasn't visited any coronavirus victims in the hospital. Weird, huh? Wonder why that is? He's usually so thoughtful and concerned. Huh.

Not that we aren't in the midst of a shit storm right now, and it's going to get massively worse within a matter of days, but I found an article on Al Jazeera's website called "In China, life returning to normal as coronavirus outbreak slows."

There is no telling how long it's going to last here in the U.S. with the Mango Menace's grossly incompetent handling of the epidemic, but in the article, it says that people in China had to stay home for about two months.

Two months is a long time for most of us to go without a paycheck, but still, hearing a finite "two months" made me feel slightly less freaked out.

Here's the link:
