If I said every hour of every day for the next year that Joni Ernst can go fuck herself, it wouldn’t be often enough.

President Trump posting an image of himself as Pope. We aren't a serious country, and he's not a mentally well man.

Trump poses as the Pope in full holy garments and gets a pass.

Obama puts on a tan suit and they lose their frigging minds.

See how that works?

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
