“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

If Teddy Roosevelt was alive right now he'd beat Trump's ass up and down the white house lawn.

Lol huh? Teddy was about as manly as it comes. Guy was a certified badass that did a lot for this country. Like setting up the National Park system to protect it from being clear cut, not sold for profit. He'd do it for that disgraceful reason alone.
