Imagine for a minute 15 years ago [View all]

I want you to think back to better times in the early days of the Obama era and imagine a scenario where President Obama would be speaking at a funeral and to say “I hate my opponents, I want no good for them”. The immediate outrage all over the country and the media would’ve have been deafening. The President essentially admitting that he hates half the country and wishing ill will on them. Admitting what we all know, he’s only President for those that support him. If you’re his “opponent” go F yourself he doesn’t care for you and wants your life to have nothing good in it. This monster. And to do it at a celebration of someone’s life too, what a sick person. It’s amazing how desensitized this country is to Trump’s BS that this barely gets a mention let alone outrage from what I saw this morning.
