Day 126:
Our National Embarrassment:
Trump has decided that he is going to go before the world and basically make us the laughing stock of the entire planet (not that we already didn’t have our rightly angry detractors). America has a very problematic relationship with the rest of the world, managing to hurt even the people we are friendly, and now this orange baffoon is doing harm left and right.
If he isn’t selling (even more) weapons to dictators, he is telling where our nuclear subs are, or shoving other world leaders around. Throw in a little praise for murder, and some general idiocy and the rest of the world is probably shitting in their pants that the biggest military on earth is being headed up by an utter moron.
Is being totally unable to do the job grounds for impeachment? I think it is.
