A veteran tells Trump 'to go straight to hell' [View all]

Sometimes, all this is just too damn much to take.

Sometimes, just the thought of the grotesque Donald Trump being in the vicinity of the United States of America much less our White House makes me shake with rage ...

So when I read on Saturday morning that the revolting, America-attacking wretch had given the commencement address to our cadets at West Point, my heart began beating with a runaway rage.

I saw red.

I pulled myself away from my desk and tried to compose myself.

Then I returned and started typing, because when I saw this vile coward used this grotesque visit to honor himself, I decided a few things needed saying ...

This hideous man … his childish, red, made-in-China hat pulled tight over the dead ferret he tapes to his head each day, spent this morning lying to these cadets, and the world, about all he is doing for them, while benefits to veterans like myself and millions of others are being jeopardized, so he can repay billionaires and fascists like Vladimir Putin who helped lift his two-ton, lying ass into office.
