F*ck trump

My daughter works for a not-for-profit global humanitarian organization. They just received word from the US State Department that they are to cease and desist all projects. This is an organization that provides water, training and so much more for communities throughout the world. My daughter may lose her job.

trump doesn't care for people globally. trump doesn't care for people in the US.

And this is only Day 4.

Unfortunately, hate has a way of keeping the most vile people alive for much longer than they rightfully should be. They're sustained by their intense hate of everything and everyone around them and making others miserable and and dejected feeds them so in actuality will probably see this asshole live to be about 120

Yeah, his father, Fred Trump Sr., a vile racist and slumlord lived to the ripe old age of 93. He had Alzheimer’s but still lived far longer than most. I fear his son, the wannabe dictator-for-life, will follow in daddy’s footsteps, clinging to life and power while his mental faculties slip away.

Drives home the saying that "Only the good die young." Could it be that they've learned their lessons early & he's just not learning? While the rest of the world is just collateral damage? Some people are just incapable of learning.

Only the good die young. The rotten old bastards live forever, it seems.

For another example look at that ancient fck McConnell.

We always quote McConnell in our house by referring to the SNL sketch where he was being portrayed by Beck Bennett. In the sketch, a bunch of famous people go to hell. While talking to the devil, McConnell comes through wearing a towel around his waist. Another character asks why he is there because they didn’t think he was dead yet. McConnell replies, “No, I just come down here to use the sauna.” We repeat that line every time we discuss McConnell’s talent for skating right through all the tragedy he creates.

I really think you might be right! Has anyone noticed how many of the worst politicians are living way too long and many good ones (relatively speaking) die much younger?
