I have promised myself never to say or write the name of the President-elect and the word "President" in the same sentence.
Barack Obama - still my President!

Twittler, Dear Orange Leader, Mango Mussolini...oh, so many to choose from.
And still, we know he's burning it all down, gleefully twittering while Rome burns.

You did remind me of something I was thinking about last night, though. Respect has to be earned, and the PEEOTUS isn't even trying to be respected. He's too busy being a twitter troll and playing authoritarian to the media to be bothered with being respected by anyone. He wants to be feared, hated or worshipped, not respected. I wonder if that's a part of his personality defect?

And the asshole will always be Twitler to me.

(22,670 posts)If not a complete nightmare. I wept watching VP Joe Biden being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction. Our nation's last president performing one of his last acts as president, before the death of our national dignity and traditions.
I cannot watch or listen to tRump or any RW talking head.
Our election was stolen in a coup d'etat. I weep for our nation on its deathbed.
And I totally lost it at the ceremony for Biden and his family.

Otherwise, my favorite reference to him is Cheeto Fucktrumpet.
