Trump’s First Year Was Even Worse Than Feared

[Reasonable]

Grit your teeth. Persevere. Just a few more days and this awful, rotten, no-good, ridiculous, rancorous, sordid, disgraceful year in the civic life of our nation will be over. Here's hoping that we all — particularly special counsel Robert S. Mueller III — have a better 2018.

Many of us began 2017 with the consoling thought that the Donald Trump presidency couldn't possibly be as bad as we feared. It turned out to be worse.

Did you ever think you would hear a president use the words "very fine people" to describe participants in a torch-lit rally organized by white supremacists, neo- Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan? Did you ever think you would hear a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations thuggishly threaten that she would be "taking names" of countries that did not vote on a General Assembly resolution the way she wanted? Did you ever think the government of the world's biggest military and economic power would reject not just science but also empiricism itself, preferring to use made-up "alternative facts" as the basis for major decisions?

We knew that Trump was narcissistic and shallow, but on Inauguration Day it was possible to at least hope he was self-aware enough to understand the weight that now rested on his shoulders, and perhaps grow into the job. He did not. If anything, he has gotten worse.

Your butt hurt whining is funny bro.

and your ass breath hypocrisy is sad ..

in typical RW fashion $1.5 TRILLION DOLLARS got added on the deficit while Trumpdrones wiped off their chin with a big grin thanking Goldilocks.

If Clinton had done that in 11 months every dipshit RW'r would be shittin' bricks whining about how the country was doomed, and the end was near.

 

[Vastator]

I hope the butt hurt continues well into the coming year. We’ve seen a couple pretty good “snaps” this past year; let’s see if the left can out do themselves in the new year.

‘Trump and his enablers have waged a relentless war against truth in an attempt to delegitimize any and all critical voices. He wields the epithet “fake news” as a cudgel against inconvenient facts and those who report them. Can a democracy function without a commonly accepted chronicle of events and encyclopedia of knowledge? We are conducting a dangerous experiment to find out.’ ibid

It's a dangerous experiment being conducted against the will of a majority of the American people.

But it was A-OK for your hero, the obummer, to add 6 to 8 trillion to the debt for nothing at all. Hypocrite much?

That 1.5 trillion will be added over the span of 10 years. Obama's first budget was a 1.2 trillion deficit. Very selective of you.

A president that says Son of a bitch publicly....Sometimes I think i'm dreaming. The US let its racist low lives decide its fight...it's a very low point for the US.

We had a VP who said to a large gathering at the White House, "this is a big FUCKING deal."

I don't suppose the DNCMSM inflamed you on that one.

Congratulations Eugene on winning your 3,457th award in this prestigious category.

Well, maybe if the Democrats had offered the electorate something better than Hillary Clinton, PC & Identity Politics, this wouldn't be an issue.

Like what?

What does the Democrat Party have to offer besides divisiveness, vote buying handouts, larger more intrusive central government and class warfare?

Heck it would be a MASSIVE improvement if the leaders of Crime Family-D could just manage to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth ONCE per year.
