Poignant and sad words from Charles Pierce in Esquire:
.
"In my life, I have watched John Kennedy talk on television about missiles in Cuba. I saw Lyndon Johnson look Richard Russell squarely in the eye and say, "And we shall overcome."
.
I saw Richard Nixon resign and Gerald Ford tell the Congress that our long national nightmare was over. I saw Jimmy Carter talk about malaise and Ronald Reagan talk about a shining city on a hill. I saw George H.W. Bush deliver the eulogy for the Soviet bloc, and Bill Clinton comfort the survivors of Timothy McVeigh's madness in Oklahoma City.
.
I saw George W. Bush struggle to make sense of it all on September 11, 2001, and I saw Barack Obama sing "Amazing Grace" in the wounded sanctuary of Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
.

These were the presidents of my lifetime. These were not perfect men. They were not perfect presidents, God knows. Not one of them was that. But they approached the job, and they took to the podium, with all the gravitas they could muster as appropriate to the job.
.
They tried, at least, to reach for something in the presidency that was beyond their grasp as ordinary human beings. They were not all ennobled by the attempt, but they tried nonetheless.
.

And comes now this hopeless, vicious buffoon, and the audience of equally hopeless and vicious buffoons who laughed and cheered when he made sport of a woman whose lasting memory of the trauma she suffered is the laughter of the perpetrators.
.
Now he comes, a man swathed in scandal, with no interest beyond what he can put in his pocket and what he can put over on a universe of suckers, and he does something like this while occupying an office that we gave him, and while endowed with a public trust that he dishonors every day he wakes up in the White House.
.

He is the scion of a multigenerational criminal enterprise, the parameters of which we are only now beginning to comprehend, a vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition and a cheap, soulless bully besides.
.

Watch him make fun of the woman again. Watch how a republic dies in the empty eyes of an empty man who feels nothing but his own imaginary greatness, and who cannot find in himself the decency simply to shut the %$^& up even when it is in his best interest to do so.
.
Presidents don't have to be heroes to be good presidents. They just have to realize that their humanity is our common humanity, and that their political commonwealth is our political commonwealth, too.
.

Watch him again, behind the seal of the President of the United States. Isn't he a funny man? Isn't what happened to that lady hilarious? Watch the assembled morons cheer. This is the only story now."

LOL A Liberal buffoon calling someone else a buffoon is nothing more than pure entertainment, why should I give ear to a Liberal nut job hack like Mr Pierce?

You shouldn’t. Anymore than the rest of us would pay attention to an American t*****r like you.

Let's forget about Pierce for a moment and let me ask you, that in the last two years, has Trump done anything that you felt he was wrong about. I believe he has rankled everyone's sence of what is right and wrong. I think even his diehard supporters may question privately while defending publicly. Where do you stand?

The American t*****r is the one with the inverted avatar of the American f**g.....YOU.

Wrong question, the real question should be, has Trump done anything that YOU felt was right about? Trump has rankled everyones "sense" of what is right and wrong? LOL Trump has that much power of you that you can not define the difference between right and wrong?? LOL Does Trump live in your head 24/7/365 rent free?

KenW Loc: Portland OR

Thank God I don't dream about him, I just get tired of seeing his ugly mug every time I turn on a news site and he has offended another group of people over something. I never liked him when he was a harmless reality television personality; but him being elected to the most prestigious and powerful office in the world is a little troubling for me. I know the difference between right and wrong based on how I was raised, but does Trump know the differences based on how he was raised? His actions speak louder than his words and sometimes his actions are not in other peoples interest but his own. He is suppose to be the voice and actions of the people of this country but all I see is the voice and actions for Donald Trump. The answer to your question is NO.

Touché...., if Donald Trump runs again!!! LoL

I can understand your concern about Trumps demeanor and his words, I'm not thrilled about it either, wish he would tone it down about 50 decibels. Yet, his demeanor and the way he talks is irreverent in respect to what he is actually doing for American policy wise, that's what I care about the most. LOL OK so you don't think he does anything right and you want me to believe you know the difference between right and wrong? lol not a change, you are too politically bias against him, or maybe you are just too personal about it, which is fine.

Do you deny the draft dodging Lord Hairball once again trashed one of his betters or that Army Col. Jack Jacobs said Lord Bum Fluff has no honor and his people know it?
