I have just epiphanied, if thats a word, my News Years resolution. I will not ever again refer to [View all]

trump by his official title. Not only has he not earned or deserved his aforesaid title, criminals deserve no honorifics while continuing to behave criminally.

I know this seems a small thing but I tend to have respect for people who honestly try to help society by serving the public interest. Republicans in general and trump (forever after with a small t ) have forfeited the right to anyone’s respect. Especially mine. They have become irredeemably corrupt and soullessly evil.
