Today, the gloves are off!

Yesterday, I posted an open letter to Rupert Murdoch and Fox News so please forgive my naivete. There is no reasoning with the treason enablers and as last night progressed, I was more and more incensed by what I saw and heard from Trump ass kissers on various cable networks.

The obvious talking point, since I heard the same from several republican Senators and Congressman, was that since the USA had "meddled in foreign elections in the past", this act by Putin was not a big deal. I heard Rand Paul among others use that very same reasoning rather than condemning the actions of our Traitor in Chief while alongside Putin.


Later, while watching Rachel, I turned briefly to Hannity. I had to change the channel immediately for fear I'd put my foot through my tv since he had a large graphic "The Left Unhinged" and was spouting utter nonsense in defense. That lasted less than twenty seconds and I was pissed to say the least, not shocked, just really really pissed!


So today, I went to my local YMCA which I had been avoiding since many there are Trumpkins and I had preferred not to get into any arguments with the idiots. But not today; I let them have it with both barrels with colorful language and made the following clear:


1) If you are fine and dandy with that dumbass taking children from mothers, I have NO use for you!


2) If you are fine with the Muslim ban, I have NO use for you!


3) If you still support this traitorous man, I have NO use for you!


I told them, to me, you are a sorry excuse of a human being to see these travesties and injustices occur and say nothing. That you have been duped by Fox News which I call fantasy island, or the island of misfit toys and to just STFU about any praise for the wanna be dictator that you so love! Get the fuck out of my country and take Shitler with you!
