âThe nation doesnât seek nor expect perfect presidents, and some have certainly been deeply flawed . . . But a president who shows such disrespect for the truth, for ethics, for the basic duties of the job and for decency toward others fails at the very essence of what has always made America great.â
âBut Hillaryâs emails!,â the editorial continued.
A day late and $2/issue short.
âA president who would all but call Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets in the Barack Obama Presidential LibraryâŚâ
[Enthusiastically offered without comment.]
And yet, you had people in the Sanders camp who insisted that there was no qualitative difference between Trump and Clinton. I donât expect the GOP to know any better, but I do expect more of our side.
âUniquelyâ seems almost to be a compliment. Has to be a better word to describe his awfulness.
âA president who would all but call Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets in the Barack Obama Presidential Library or to shine the shoes of George W. Bush,â USA Todayâs editorial board wrote.
A bit harsh.
Iâm sure with a couple years of training he could learn to clean toilets or shine shoes.
Enthusiastically liked without comment!

editorâs note: We just figured this out.
Câmon USA Today, tell everyone how you really feel. No need to sugar coat it like that.
I thought it was pretty brutal (not it a bad way) for USAToday. They are generally so vanilla and middle of the road.
It means âone of a kindâ.
Youâre right.
Man, that was scorching
Oh? Do you have links to that material? Not doubting, just unfamiliar with that specific argument from the Sanders crowd.
OK then. Competing for âa new lowâ is Sarah Sanders displaying her inner dictatorâŚ
âNow that the editorial board has been fired, the news room will continue to report the news as issued by the Presidentâs Twitter Account and whatever spokesperson is working for him that day.â
From my perspectiveâŚnot harsh enough. They actually avoided four letter words I would have used with abandon. When I first began posting at TPM back in 2013 I avoided that set of words out of respect for what Josh had created here but trump has opened the flood gates and the gloves are in the dust bin.
Ah, that well known crime of asking an elected official in a democracy a question.
I wish they had found a more eloquent way to diminish him than belittling toilet cleaners and shoe shiners, though. I suspect some of the people scrubbing those editorsâ shit have led better lives.
Reads like Susan Page really took umbrage over this one. Reads personal.
USA Today comes right out and stomps on Trumplethinskins teeny weeny. Wow, wotta a take down and from a mediocre rag like USA Today, no less. Low is low and USA comes right out and says there is no bottom to the Orange Perilâs over-the-top all around nastiness.
