If there is one thing I don't understand.. [View all]

Why in hell have Dems. gone quiet for 2 fucking years over the fact that Trump consistently questioned Barack Obama's citizen status for almost 2 years before the election.. His decision to repeat these disgusting racist lies over and over again for the whole pre-election period... is still in my mind so disgusting.... the fact that the Dems. have not addressed this practically at all during Trump's presidency is almost as bad.... If I were head of the DNC.. I'd make a point to constantly remind the world of what he did... to an honorable/ great human being .. This issue still bothers me soooo fucking much!
