Fuck everything about this stupid asshole. 🖕

President Trump created the longest government shutdown in U.S. history so he could get $5.7 billion for a border wall, and today he caved in exchange for $0.

@EddieHinkle @ReaderJohn @burk I'm in favor of encouraging diversity on this platform! I didn't vote for the current President, but millions of my fellow Americans DID vote for him and unfortunatey he certainly does get under the skin of a lot of people. I don't think we should be able to label anyone (or his/her followers) as . . . X . . . and then attack them based upon having asserted that label. Ages ago, when I was a kid, someone would get elected, say Ike or even JFK (and HE was a Catholic, horrors!) and the losing side would accept that next time, they'd have to do a better job in the election. But in the meantime, both sides went to Washington and worked to run the country and make it better. Nowadays the losing side doesn't even accept the results of the election and both sides just continue political posturing and are continually campaigning for the next election. I respect the election process in this country, as well as the office of the Presidency. If I disrespect a President, then I am also disrespecting the millions of people who voted for him/her. I don't want to do that. This situation mirrors what happened after the Civil War, when some folks didn't accept that outcome either. They erected memorials to their own local heroes, continued their same racial prejudices and practices, with the tension sliding just a bit under the surface. Can't we all do better to make this country a much better place for all of us and not make everything a matter of who's winning all the time?
