And then talks about Trump's reaction to Charlottesville and the NFL players kneeling, which are much more illustrative of Trump's racism.

without mincing words. Trump is clearly unfit for any office and must be crushed under an avalanche of truth to counter his onslaught of hatred and lies. The idea that falling in line just to have access is anti American. The time has passed for giving this poisonous criminal the benefit of the doubt.

I loved the scorecard listing all of the people the orange one has trashed and insulted and demeaned with his racism and bigotry contrasted with his opinion of Nazis as fine people.

That is a graphic that should go global.

and hear those words and now IF all mega-uber rich will follow in LeBron's footsteps, maybe just maybe more than 247 at-risk children can be 'saved'.

What a powerful editorial statement. However, when he sums it up so succinctly - all the awful, awful things this awful, awful person has said about people, well, it really hit me in the gut. I will never, NEVER be able to understand how the US could have sunk to such lows in my lifetime.

I have firmly believed from election day 2016 that the office of President was stolen and that our democracy was highjacked by a person who was so lacking in morals and ethics that he wanted to win at any cost and didn't care what he did to win. Now my only hope is that Robert Mueller can take him and his sleazy family down, make them bankrupt and they get the f*** out of our government!

I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK.
