What's been particularly galling to me these past 36 hours is how this utterly unworthy,

corrupt, worthless excuse for a human being is being accorded the honors, privileges, and deference that he is completely undeserving of. The extraordinary medical care (that he paid $750 for), the helicopters, the Presidential Suite at Walter Reed. I don't know why it's pissing me off so much. He's been coddled since January 20, 2017, but this is just too much. Probably because he thinks it's owed to him while millions of Americans are suffering and hundreds of thousands are dead because of his callous indifference and deliberate lies. And here we are treating him like a goddamned king. Arrgh...

It's bugging the hell out of me.

I posted about my disgust that this POS is getting top-of-the-line socialized healthcare while attempting to end healthcare for millions.

I'm so disgusted!
Ps and his idiot voters voting for him to screw them and the rest of us over.

This asshole, this self labeled billionaire, who says paying taxes makes you stupid, who paid no federal tax for 10 years and then a piddling amount after that, who is trying to take Obamacare away from millions....

Gets world class care and is treated like a king on the taxpayers’ dime.

It infuriates the hell out of me, too.

Here in America, we treat our impeached, authoritarian dictators in a style they are accustomed to, no matter what. First class, roll out the red carpet-style treatment. Only the finest.

I try to keep in mind that we are treating the titular meaning, value and dignity of the office itself and that does make sense, if that helps at all. We do value that.

However, under protest, I must remark that this man has defamed and disgraced it entirely and is completely undeserving of any care at all.

himself. More than likely got the virus trying to ram a SC nominee down our throats that might take healthcare away from millions . Make it harder for many of us to get insurance, or have to pay more because we have pre-existing conditions, or puts a limit on how much insurance will pay out. It is galling. You should be pissed.

I've also been thinking about how, if he dies, he'd likely be honored with a lying-in-state... and so soon after RBG, a person who devoted her entire life to the cause of truth and justice and who richly deserved that honor.
