"It's a shame that we defy our president".

This was a statement on facebook. It made me stop and think about it for a minute. I think back to when President Obama started his presidency. They defied him every step of the way. This was the GOP saying that Pres. Obama wasn't legit. Now that same GOP folks say, Trump who is breaking laws, trashing the constitution and acting foolish in the world's view, "it is a shame that we defy our president". President Obama held the highest standard to the oath of office. Think about that GOP and if you think you can cry wolf to cover for a criminal mined thug than that is on you. I will defy Trump as long as America is being defied by a bunch of lunatics!

They saw President Obama as an Interloper and essentially not a "real" President and they see President Trump as a legitimate president and worthy of every American's support. I guess life is easy when you define even slightly liberal or Democratic presidents as usurpers and Republican Presidents as honorably elected.

Since when is "defying the president" a problem in a free democratic society?

Do they long for the days of Henry VIII?

the president sticker and could pull in front of her.

Of course she was drinking coffee and smoking while driving. I just feel these folks have a hole where their brain use to be.
