I wonder what President Obama thinks of twitlers actions this week?

It must be so hard for him to be silent. But he is s good man who follows precedence of not criticizing current and past presidents. But inside he must be seething and feeling helpless that twitler has put us into a constitutional crisis with his abuse of power and outright racism.

Obama should break his silence and come out and speak about unifying the country. I thought the entire idea was ludicrous. Why would he want to do that since it would only divide the left and right even more and piss off the fake prez enough to start a whole new week of Twitter BS. He is a smart and thoughtful person and knows what he is doing.

Both Carter and Clinton spoke out against Bush. Obama can do the same as far as I am concerned though he probably won't.

This is the latest lame excuse, of many of Trump's supporters about trump not getting anything done.

went on twitter to tweet some nasty shit to Chris Matthews but realized I'm not mad at him or the idiot child who wrote the NY Times.

I'm really mad at the dumb mutha phuckers who want to turn President Obama into America's Butler; demanding he clean up the shit THEY created. Who the phuck votes for a mentally disturbed ignorant vile sexual predator/mobster as POTUS. How hateful or self-destructive does someone have to be to do some crazy shit like that?

President Obama told us democracy was on the line BEFORE the election. Who the phuck votes for a piece of shit or third party when so much is at stake?

I don't want President Obama to say a mutha phucking thing. They are on their own. In other words PHUCK 'em

If they want to fix this shitstorm, then THEY need to VOTE and vote ONLY for Democrats. It's that simple. It's not about mutha phuckin feelings or wealthy donors or some other self-sabotaging bullshit. It's about taking back the HOUSE and SENATE so we can impeach a mutha phucker and restore our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, our democratic institutions and traditional political norms.
