The ugliness this man has brought to the office [View all]

And to American politics will remain for a very long time.

It's reached a point where I have to limit myself on reading about it, for my own mental health.

This was entirely preventable, in my opinion, but the need to appear "non partisan" out of fear of Republican accusations seems to have taken a higher priority than the sufferings of the vulnerable and the voiceless.

Was it worth it?

Did they really think he and his gang of mutants wouldn't go this far, that a shameless supreme court would never make him king of America?

I remember even most progressive pundits saying they didn't believe the court would ever give him immunity for crimes, it was absurd on its face.

Yeah, well the joke was on us.

So I'm going to do what I can, and wish those who could have would have.
