If you're not embarrassed, you are not an American.

How can anyone see what is happening in this White House and not be embarrassed?

How can they defend this sick behavior and still say they love their country?

Can they not see that they are the problem?

There is no credible rationalization.

They hate this country.

They want to remake this country into an all white Prosperity Gospel Theocracy

run by unregulated corporations.

I don't feel embarrassed because someone else is dumb, particularly when it's so blatantly apparent.

we are "dumb"... the embarrassment comes from being part of a whole, a people that is allowing this to happen

No wonder Putin had that smug smile on his face at the news conference after their private meeting.

No one to this day still knows what trump coughed up to such a shrewd operative as Putin.

We should all be very afraid of what this child will do next in the White House.

The repugs keep sitting on their hands as long as they get their tax cuts and extreme right wing Supreme Court judges

People everywhere are embarrassed for us. I heard them say they can't mock us because it would be pathetic.
