14. You've nailed it--this cultural game changing behavior--and it is horrifying.

Many of us still can't believe that Trump--the most unqualified person in history-- a character challenged
individual who probably has narcissistic personality disorder and is certainly a pathological liar, not only
became the nominee of the Republican party but will now be inaugurated as POTUS in 10 days. It just
fu*king boggles the mind for those of us who believe in honesty, decency, integrity, common good, and the concept
that government is designed to serve all of us, not be used as a business to enrich a few of us.

It is horrifying. Truly horrifying.
