They regard us as a refreshing little country. With many amusing foibles.

Richard Blumenthal announced it yesterday. The court had just decided the senate had "standing" to sue. It's been considering this for months. Because I don't think this law has ever been used before.

I knew that there was a questioning about emoluments, but not that the case had progressed so far.

In all honesty, I see him as another Kevin Spacey.

Did you hear about the lawsuit called Blumenthal vs Trump?

Nah. They'll know it's us again. As long as it isn't him again!

I think that you're low-balling that number. It's probably far higher.

After watching him queen out the other day, I figure it's got to be really nasty.

I know. I’m sure they thought we were responsible again after we voted Obama in, but then we do this. And I honestly can’t guarantee it won’t happen again.

I don't know who's going to end up being president after Trump, but assuming said individual is at all concerned about America's standing and reputation in the world (which would probably necessitate said president being a Democrat) and would like to repair said reputation and diplomatic relations with, well, basically everybody, that president is probably going to have to learn to enjoy the taste of boot polish and crow, because it's going to be a LONG time before America is allowed back at the adults' table. ANY adults' table. Anywhere.

he is the ultimate embarrassment for the united states. he's avoided the draft, but wants a military parade. his vocabulary Is limited to, maybe, ten words. he's bankrupted a casino (where everyone knows the house always wins - so how that happened...?). he's got five different kids with three different women. he's used hush money to cover of his philandering ways. he complained about the deficit under Obama, but now we've overrun the deficit for military expansion (but not needed healthcare for those coming back home). he's pro-life but cuts school lunches and WIC programs. he jailed people for border crossing, which is a damn misdemeanor. the man thinks Frederick douglas is still alive and "doing good work, and getting recognized more and more". he fails to understand that Puerto Ricans are americans, and he described Carolina, after Florence, as the wettest in history "from the standpoint of water". we keep losing these great artists, but apparently, these assholes can't be bothered to die off.

On second thought, he's probably the Fatburg that's been clogging up municipal drains around the world.

President Harris: [looks at portrait of Harrison Ford] I wonder what President Ford would have done.

I suspect he owes a lot of favors to some really mean scary people who wiped out his substantial debt--perhaps the same people to whom #45 is indebted. If he's not in, then they'll both be out in more ways than one.
