USA Today editorial
by Idéfix Wed Dec 13, 2017 12:03 am
USA Today maintained steadfast neutrality in political matters. So much so that they didn't endorse Reagan in 1984 or Clinton in 1996. Their Editorial Board broke with their tradition in 2016 to declare unanimously that Cadet Bone Spurs is "unfit for the presidency." Now they have come out with a fantastic editorial:

A president who'd all but call a senator a whore is unfit to clean toilets in Obama's presidential library or to shine George W. Bush's shoes: Our view
This isn’t about the policy differences we have with all presidents or our disappointment in some of their decisions. Obama and Bush both failed in many ways. They broke promises and told untruths, but the basic decency of each man was never in doubt.
Donald Trump, the man, on the other hand, is uniquely awful. His sickening behavior is corrosive to the enterprise of a shared governance based on common values and the consent of the governed.
If recent history is any guide, the unique awfulness of the Trump era in U.S. politics is only going to get worse. Trump’s utter lack of morality, ethics and simple humanity has been underscored during his 11 months in office.
The nation doesn’t seek nor expect perfect presidents, and some have certainly been deeply flawed. But a president who shows such disrespect for the truth, for ethics, for the basic duties of the job and for decency toward others fails at the very essence of what has always made America great.

Will Trump's lows ever hit rock bottom?

Roy Moore loss in reddest of red Alabama is stinging loss for that asshole, moron Donald Trump and the moron has no shame when he distances himself with the loser after recording robo call and campaigning for Moore.
What a fucking loser himself.

If Trump only talks, and does nothing - I like him.
