Any one thing on those lists can (and often does) serve as outrage fuel for the already-outraged. But there's just so much, it dilutes the impact of any one thing.


I agree with this wholeheartedly. The majority of us are punch-drunk.

This is just the latest in the endless sea of his quotes that I've said to myself, "OK. SURELY this is enough. The American public is not going to stand for this level of irresponsibility and depravity from their chief elected official. This HAS to be enough."

And we've been shown time and time and time again, that not only will a sizeable voting bloc of the American public STAND for it, they will swallow it whole and scream for more. There are days where I simply am close to running out of hope for this country.

If this person wins re-election, I am seriously considering leaving this American Gilead.
