Trump is a cancer that has proven to be remarkably resistant to conventional therapy. Removal may be the only way to prevent metastasis.

President Nacho Cheese Dorito will not be pleased. Maybe he’ll get his silicone spouse to go out before the press and call Obama a traitor, like she did with the author of the anonymous NYT article. But first Malignia has to find a quote she can rip off from Michelle Obama that she can use.

“It did not start with Donald Trump. He is a symptom, not the cause. He’s just capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years.”

I miss him.

I listened to Obama’s speech and there is something soothing in the lost idea of a sane president. But his trumpeting of an exceptionalist america in which our enduring values have lit the way for freedom everywhere is BS. And as a political discourse it is over. I hope the Dems don’t follow by resurrecting the mythic America story that sustained the war machine for 5 decades no matter which party was in power…

Trump 'Is A Symptom, Not The Cause’

someone had to say it.

Yes, it is rather comforting to know we once had a president who didn’t have the morals and psychology of an ax murderer.

I absolutely love what Obama said about the supposed “Trump/Republican economic miracle!”. What a burn!

“When you hear how great the economy’s doing right now, let’s just remember when this recovery started,” Obama said. “I mean, I’m glad it’s continued, but when you hear about this economic miracle that’s been going on, when the monthly job numbers come out, Republicans say, ‘It’s a miracle.’ I have to remind them and say those job numbers are the same as they were in 2015 and 2016.”

“But anyway,” he said, as the crowd laughed, “I digress.”

Did Fox hire Zina Bash to make the “white power” sign while Obama was giving the speech?
