Such a well-thought rebuttal. Is it Russian? ---

Good job Okra! Some D list celebrity doing something mildly tasteless has made me change my entire political thought process. I’m glad you are here to point it out. ---

Honestly though, that’s exactly how most women felt about it. I am still stunned that a single female voter chose Trump. ---

Heh, when I saw the thread title I thought, “Oh boy, what’s that crazy \*\*\*\* Trump done now?”, but it turns out that the OP is objecting to something Kathy Griffin said about Trump (presumably - the page has apparently been removed). I dunno, call my psychic, but I could tell the guy had serious issues ten minutes into a single episode of The Apprentice. How could anyone not? ---

Trump Derangement Syndrome reminds me of a comic strip I saw, maybe Far Side. Doc to patient: The bad news is that you’re the first person to get what you have, the good news is we can name it after you. ---

I have to admit that my first reaction was too bad it wasn’t real. Effigies of Obama weren’t that uncommon during his administration, I don’t see this as any worse. I expect that these sorts of expressions will increase over time as the reality of this satanic administration sinks in more and more.
