There was also much to be hopeful about. Trump pulled his stunt yesterday and the response has been deafening even Fox news is having a hard time defending him.

The people came out in force in Charleston to show what they think of these Nazi assholes and today one of the organizing dirtbags posted a video crying that he is scared for his life.

America has been pretty forceful in their condemnation of these clowns from every corner but the white house, and I am not sure the white house will recover from the damage Cheeto did to himself yesterday.

It is always darkest before the dawn. Is that not how the saying goes. I think we got a good look at the sun coming up over the horizon yesterday from everyone except the president.
