I had seen the headline a few times, but this is really one of the best covers to describe the current situation as anything I've seen.

For me, personally, I am truly ashamed to be an American. What this individual has done to our institutions and our standing in the world is beyond comprehension. And the worst is yet to come. When he and his cronies, Paul and Mitch, start to dismantle the safety net in earnest, I shudder to think where we're headed.

The way the DN covers have been, they couldn't find any way to lampoon him after today's stunt, so they had to come back and do the equivalent of a SMDH.

invocation of Little Round Top and Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address." When Lincoln told the Congress in the winter of 1861 that America represented the "last best hope of man," those words meant something, both to a Europe staggering from 1,500 years of monarchic and aristocratic rule and to an American people struggling to find and preserve a new means of self-governance.

I'm sad to say I sure wouldn't do the same today nor let my children serve under a low life/traitor like Trump.

The only hope I have left in this country is the election in 2018. We will see what becomes of that hope soon.

Trump just did himself more harm with his base in a single tweet than he did with a whole month of his usual insane ramblings.

That he was just looking at his very good, very good belly.

Or that he was looking to see if he could find his tiny apparatus.

But you'd never be able to say that the biggest loser of all time was hanging his head in shame.

The psy types of the future will have a wonderful time digging into this massoshit and writing learned papers. The rest of us will need to try to get over a totally man-made disaster. Sorry, sisters - this one is on us.

But on the bright side --seriously, I'm not being sardonic--IT IS BEING REPORTED with the appropriate editorial reaction.

Just to contrast with the response I've been used to, remember that up until now, the typical response to Sexism in high places has been one big, "settle down ladies, it was a joke".
