Mar 2017

this administration, the GOP or those who supported and voted for them American. They have shut themselves out of reality and democracy and I'll be damned if I'll let them carry the banner of the United States.
There's a lot to be ashamed of, but that doesn't include the true democracy of our constitution's founders. Be ashamed of the traitors, not America.
