The Living Embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins. OK, not as snappy as some of these, but it’s good to point out the hypocrisy of the so-called “Religious Right”.

Safe space! Now that’s hilarious. Your chickenshit “president” is afraid of reporters. He’s afraid of the wind and rain. He’s afraid of accountability. Most of all, he’s afraid of the truth.

You’re weak and your president is a coward.

Hey, now. Gritty got more write-ins than Carson Wentz, Snoopy and Nick Foles. He’s declared (some kind of) candidacy in 2020.

It’s not very clever, but I don’t capitalize his name. I figure we’ve seen it so many times with all FIVE letters capitalized that I’m just doing my part to restore some balance to the universe.

Are you preaching at us? Hopefully when Meuller and Avenatti and the FBI and the state attorney generals are done with him, he won’t be president anymore. He will be Prisoner Number 7233526322 or whatever.

He is not OUR president. The majority did not want him. He won due to a fluke called the Electoral College, which I think needs to be overhauled or trashed completely. He only represents the Russians, the fat cats, fascists, alt right, racists, and dominionists.

He does not represent anyone else. He hates liberals blacks browns etc etc etc. He despises anyone not born with money. He hates anyone who isn’t useful to him, or won’t kiss his ass.

He does not even represent this country’s best interests. He sabotages and betrays them.

So no, he is NOT our president. He never even tried to be.

And a bit more. Putin controls him, and he’s a fucking traitor.

So what? There’s nothing that says we can’t call Donald Trump names just because he’s President.

Here’s the only good part about Donald Trump being President; it means that he’ll go down in history as a failure. Two hundred years from now, people will still talk about Donald Trump because they’ll remember how he did such a terrible job as President.

I’ve tended to refer to him (but not exclusively) as President Very Stable Genius. I will presume you have no objection to this, as it incorporates a phrase Trump has used to refer to himself.

Can you link to a post in which you expressed the same sentiments when Obama was president?

Just curious. Did you intend for that to be _àpropos_ of anything in particular?

Legally speaking, you are correct.

Realistically speaking, fuck that, fuck trump, fuck every piece of shit that voted for him, and fuck anyone who carries water for him. And that includes you.

Odd that some have such a hard time grasping such basic facts. So, I’ll break this down for the hard of thinking folk:

**How to determine if Donald J. Trump is your President — a guide for the logic challenged**  
Question 1) Are you a citizen of the United States of America?

[INDENT]\_\_\_ **Yes.**. Congratulations, Donald J Trump is your President!

\_\_\_ **No.** Sorry, Donald J. Trump is not your President.

Questions 2 - ∞) _See Question 1_[/INDENT]  
See, easy peasy.

I would say that normally any person who holds the office of President of the United States should be entitled to some respect just because of that regardless of their individual flaws. For example, I strongly disagreed with many of the things that George W. Bush did but I would show him some basic respect because he was the President.

But Donald Trump is different. He has openly and continuously refused to follow the standards of decency that a President should follow. So if Trump refuses to respect his own Presidency, why should I respect it? He deserves to receive the same lack of respect that he gives.

It seems like a few years ago there were a few more steps around demanding to see the president’s birth certificate and religion, or whether he just seems like a dangone socialist. Are we not doing that anymore?
