Nancy vs. The Volcano

December 23, 2019
Many people have expressed something that could hardly be mistaken for enthusiasm over the fact that Donald Chrump has been impeached already.  Admittedly, Chrump remains president, and the trial of the impeached president must end up in the filthy hands of Moscow Mitch McConnell.  The frustration over Chrump’s continued ability to withstand everything from repeatedly admitting to sexual assault and harassment, to repeatedly being found guilty of fraud, to repeatedly divulging national security secrets to Russia, to constantly stuffing his gullet with food that has killed for less, is completely understandable. 
At the very least Der Furor is seething mad and will remain so at least through the holidays and for some unknown number of days in the new year.  You know Chrump is waking up several times a night in a cold sweat with visions of Nancy Pelosi dancing in his head.  Maybe he will tear his “hair” out, maybe it will fall out on its own.  Maybe a hamberder or two will go down the wrong pipe when he impolitely insists on screaming while he is eating. 
Also take some degree of solace, for now at least, that whatever else happens, Donald Chrump will be forever mentioned in the same breath as Andrew Johnson and Richard Nixon, whose legacies always feature the fact that they were, above all else, impeached (Well, in Nixon's case, impeached-adjacent).  Add to that the multi-tiered irony that Chrump will also be tethered to the victim (however otherwise despicable he might have been) of the actual partisan-witch-hunt-impeachment – Mr. Hillary Clinton. 

Chrump has the distinction (emphasis on stink) of being the only one to suffer the ignominious fate of being impeached during his first and only term.  And the only one who practically buries himself in makeup and hairspray every day.  Can you say ‘pathetic loser’?  I knew you could.
Speaking of world class losers, some of you are old enough to remember the worst, most inept and dangerous president to not face impeachment.  The man who brought us torture, fake WMD, illegally invading the wrong country, destroying the world economy and Dick Cheney.  He was poised to be the worst president ever for a century or more, until the mind-numbing arrival, a mere eight years later, of the infinitely worse Donald Chrump. 

The Mangrey household proudly featured a George W. Bush piñata, which hung around the house for several years, during which time it was subjected to countless whackings until it was finally burned in effigy the night Barack Obama was elected to clean up Bush's mess and try to get the world to stop pointing and laughing at America.
Never forget.  War criminal.  Moron.  Sack of shit.
Remember how it almost seemed a relief knowing that if nothing else, at least we had hit rock-bottom?  How innocent we were.  Sure, as jaded as we now of necessity must be, it is easy to write off this historic impeachment as mere spitting into the wind.  However, and you know things are bad when the voice of optimism must be found at Paying Attention, allow me to suggest that this is not exactly a hollow victory – at least not yet.  It remains full of promise.
No, we should see Chrump’s impeachment more as an unwhacked piñata.  Unlike the full-of-shit actual Chrump, this Chrumpiñata is full of goodies: phucked-up phone calls, egregious emails, trainwreck tweets – yum, yum.  We just have to be blindfolded, or blindsided as the case may be, and spun around a few times.  Then we start flailing away with a big stick and try to bust that sucker open, spewing its incriminating contents where they cannot be missed by any but the most Foxed up ignoramuses.
You know there is more juicy evidence in here,
let’s beat it out of this ugly piñata.
As of this writing, while Chrump spends the happy holiday season wetting himself regularly, more damning information continues to emerge – as if any more was actually needed – regarding Chrump’s bribery/extortion scheme with Ukraine.
I. Mangrey rejoicing.  Enjoy all the holidays that will come and go while Impeachment Season lingers on.

Abuse of Power - The Republican’t Brand

Remove The Mother Fucker(s) Already

December 20, 2019

The motherfucker Donald Trump has already been impeached, but it will not be easy to overcome the senators of the radical regressive white male party formerly known as the party of Lincoln, then the party of Nixon, then the party of Reagan and now – and hopefully for a very long time – the mouldering Republican’t party of Donald Trump.  The GOP – Grouchy Old Palefaces.  There is one other pasty-faced motherfucker that needs to be removed.  Impeached-president Donald Trump is horrifying in his way, but he is a doofus, a conman and a puppet.  He is Putin’s puppet and he is a puppet of those who created, elevated and enabled him – the Republican’t Party.  That party’s leader, Mitch McConnell is a cancer on our democracy.  McConnel is vengeful, anti-democratic, megalomaniacal, and a crook in his own right, and he has been metastasizing for too long.  
Phase One: IMPEACHMENT ACCOMPLISHED
It is understandable that Republican’ts do not recognize “abuse of power” as either high crime or misdemeanor.  Abuse of power is the Republican’t brand.  Republican’ts began their bromance with Vladimir Putin the moment Barack Obama became president.  They and their television talking heads began fawning over the Russian autocrat, calling him a strong leader, as opposed to Barack Obama.  Of course, one reason Republican’ts felt so comfortable taking Putin over Obama was, in a word, racism.  No time to mince words, the Republican’t Party is America’s White Wing.  Not all Republican’ts are racist, but all racists vote Republican’t.  Not all Republican’ts are Klan members, but all Klan members vote Republican’t.  Not all Republican’ts are white nationalists, but all white nationalists vote Republican’t.
Lindsey Graham went to the Kingdom of Qatar to announce to the world that he will be lying as he takes his special oath, the one that has him swear to be an impartial juror in the Constitutionally mandated impeachment trial of un-president Donald Chrump.  Graham’s colleague and all-around evil motherfucker Mitch McConnell stayed home and did his pre-emptive mea culpa on Chrump’s personal propaganda network during an “interview” with Chrump’s number one best bud and top advisor Sean Hannity.  What a great bunch of fascists.
It appears that Nancy Pelosi is in no hurry to send the Articles of Impeachment to the admittedly partisan Senate, where we have been told there will be no trial, merely an acquittal.  Some House Democrats have expressed their agreement with holding the articles from the Senate indefinitely.  Not that it matters, but I agree.  Why rush a good thing.  Let Trump wallow in his filth for a while.  Handing this pot-of-gold to McConnell will only serve his purposes.  Let him sweat for a while.  He wants this thing over and done as quickly as possible.  Fuck him.
Despite mountains of evidence that Impeached-president Trump committed impeachable offenses (only two of which were put forth as articles thereof).  The now-impeached-president, complained about the lack of due process during the impeachment inquiry in the House.  Trump abdicated due process by withholding every shred of documentation, by barring every member of his administration, and by refusing to make himself available.  An many have said, if anyone or anything existed that contradicted the charges and evidence against him, it would at the very least been all over Twitter.  There was nothing but obfuscation, obstruction and shouting from the party of Trump.
The “Hair” and the Tortoise
It seems clear that this nation cannot wrench itself out of the 19th Century until self-proclaimed Grim Reaper of the Senate Mitch McConnell finds his way into Dante’s Fourth Circle of history.  The people of Kentucky must find their souls and their brains and oust Moscow Mitch on November 3, 2020.  McConnell has already packed the federal courts with a gaggle of backwards looking, certifiably incompetent and very young judges who are likely to propel American society back to when racists, homophobes, misogynists and corporate whores roamed free and ruled the land.

It's Official - Worst President Ever

Historic Hysterics

December 19, 2019
Festering in his own juices, while awaiting the inevitable impeachment he had worked so hard to attain, Donald Chrump took time out of his busy schedule of tweeting, golfing and watching cable news to write a perfect letter to Nancy Pelosi.  It was least as perfect as his phone call to Volodymyr Zelensky back in July, although he refuses to commit that one to paper for the purpose of history, or fact-finding.  
I had to take a break because I could feel my brain starting to bleed.  After some preventive medicinal intervention, I eventually made it through page two, by which time it felt like I was being punched in the head...from the inside.  Once I was able to breathe again, I decided to take my chances with page three.  This was a huge mistake, resulting in bodily functions the details of which are better left unshared.  Although it is my (entirely unpaid) job to dig through the trash bin of what will become history, I confess that I skipped some of this veritable swamp of word smashing and went to the end of this erroneous, egregious, excretory exercise in excess.
Near the end of his poisonous prose: “I write this letter to you for the purpose of history and to put my thoughts on a permanent and indelible record.”  I suppose now, anyone fortunate enough not being permanently scarred in real time, will be able to vicariously experience the utter madness and torture that was the Chrump Era.
Naturally, Chrump did not write any of the big words or complete sentences, but the misshapen mind of man behind the malignant message is as obvious as it is odious.  Despite Stephen Miller’s worst efforts, there is no hiding the unhealthy sprinkling of Chrumpian drivel.
The pages of the once proud and courageous Washington Post, wherein Ben Bradley once decided to not play it safe and risk everything in order to bring the gravely disturbed and morbidly paranoid Richard Nixon to the brink of his own impeachment, and eventual resignation, called Chrump’s latest tour-de-farce “fiery and freewheeling.”  AYFKM.  Perhaps they meant ‘fiery’ like what is destroying much of California, and ‘freewheeling’ like a school bus with no brakes careening toward a beckoning abyss. 
Others more accurately described this aggravated anthology of Chrump's most pathetic tweets in less glowing, less tone-deaf terms.  Draconian, delusional, demented, disingenuous, depraved, dishonest, dangerous, desperate, disastrous, dystopian, disturbing, depressing and downright dumb - and those are just the descriptors that begin with the letter 'd'.  For fun, let’s ‘f’ it up a little: Frenzied, fallacious, freakish, fatuous, feral, frantic, furious, fractious, foolish, fevered, frightening, farblunget, farfetched, fabricated, funiculì, funiculà, feckless, fucked-up and futile.  Imagine someone drunk dialing you, but with malice aforethought and weeks of preparation, and then putting it on paper.  Then, imagine that person does not even drink. 
King Crimson – Elephant talk
Prologue – IMPEACHMENT ACCOMPLISHED
 
Yes, a prologue belongs at the beginning, but we are not living in normal times, so deal with it.
 

On December 18, 2019, at 8:34 PM, Eastern Time, the House of Representatives (amid much grumbling by Republican’ts) officially adopted Article I of the impeachment of Donald J. Trump – Abuse of power.  There is now a permanent stain on the presidency that has itself permanently stained the United States of America.  Article II – Obstruction of Congress was adopted 18 minutes later.  Among the Democrats, three voted nay and Tulsi Gabbard voted ‘present.’  Not one single Republican’t sided with the Constitution, the facts or this country; every one of them bought further shame, and hopefully a groundswell of loathing on their party by voting to defend an indefensible, confessed criminal.  The motherfucker has been impeached already finally, and has the distinction of being the only president ever impeached during his first term. 

The ball is now in your kangaroo court Moscow Mitch.

HIstory In The Breaking

The Eve of Impeachment

December 17, 2019 

I have a question for half of America: What the hell is wrong with you?  Anyone who questions the fact that Chrump’s alleged, though thoroughly proven and confessed crimes against America and democracy itself, is purposefully ignorant.  The fact that Fux News refuses to acknowledge the facts that first-hand witnesses testified to under oath, while Donald Chrump forbade anyone in his administration from testifying (Guilty much?), and the fact that the only strategy House Republican’ts had was to talk very louder and very fast, does not change the reality of the situation.

Also, no one, not one single person has, with any proof whatsoever, refuted any of the charges against Donald Chrump.  Some contend that what Chrump did by bribing the president of Ukraine, and withholding Congressionally-approved funds for Ukraine was entirely legal.  They are wrong.
Fun Fact: despite all the relentless dissembling and alternative facts, a new Fux News poll found that 54 percent of Americans believe Chrump should be impeached and 50 percent think he should be impeached and removed.  First, I find it amazing that so many people seem to know what impeachment actually means.  Second, these numbers seem like a good start.
A sampling of Chrump’s irreparably infected, dangerously delusional minions
 
Half of this country stands ready to ignore fact, embrace fiction, and allow the life-long criminal Chrump to get away with everything.*  Let us remember that when sleazy Bill Clinton, after an exhaustive waste of time and money, over several years, in pursuit of forcing him out of office, was finally nailed for lying about a blow job, many Democrats stood against the president from their own party.  Today, after finally becoming unable to stand by and watch any more high crimes, misdemeanors and now over 15,000 lies in three years, and the most corrupt administration anyone has ever seen in this country, Democrats finally found impeachment an unavoidable, Constitutionally mandated action. 
 
Unlike the Democrats who had to admit that Clinton had in fact lied under oath about his dickish behavior, today’s Republican’ts are more than willing to lie to themselves and the nation they pretend to serve.  They appear poised to swallow our pride, ignore the facts, and the clear and present danger Donald Chrump poses to the Constitution and this nation.  Many of today’s Democrats agonized over the decision to move forward with impeachment; a few continue to oppose it.  Five House Dems decided that the Constitution was more important than their political fortunes, risking re-election in favor of doing what is right, which apparently only happens on the Left.  Only one single Republican’t called for Chrump’s impeachment and had to leave his party.  Republican’ts will not choose the path of honor, of fulfilling their oath of office, or of any modicum of honesty.  They will instead turn a blind eye, a damaged brain and a non-existent heart to what they all know are Chrump’s impeachable actions. 
Yeah, schmuck, you did “have sexual relations with that woman.”
Democrats could and should have brought close to a dozen articles of impeachment against this pathetic excuse for a leader.  Chrump and his hench-maggots continue to pursue the one delineated abuse of power now on the table as Article One of the two articles of impeachment. 
They call Chrump “Teflon Don,” which is more apt than most realize.  The common wisdom is the moniker signifies the way nothing seems to stick to him.  The recently released movie Dark Waters reminds us that Teflon had other magic powers.  Dupont’s miracle cooking technology not only repelled all manner of foods, but cancer stuck to it, to take a mildewed page out of Chrump’s book, “like a bitch.”  So, when you think about Teflon Don, know that while it seems nothing sticks to him, he is at the same time, like Teflon, killing us in unseen ways.  Dupont was ultimately held somewhat responsible for their murderous greed – they knew the stuff was seriously toxic, just like Exxon knew back in the ‘70s that they were killing all of us with their petroleum pollution, and hid that knowledge in order to poison all of us and pad their already overflowing wallets.
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will debate and possibly vote to impeach the motherfucker Donald Chrump already.  It remains possible that Republican’ts will again try to stall the proceedings with their bullshit-scented hot air.  They might however stand down having been assured that their counterparts in the Senate are prepared to jettison any pretense of democracy and trash the Senate impeachment trial.  The top two Republican'ts have declared ahead of time that they have no intention of having a trial and plan to sweep this well-deserved impeachment under the Oval Office carpet. 
Chrump seems content riding his Teflon reputation until someone or something stops him.  It will not be Republican’ts.  It will not be McConnell’s Supreme Court.  Will the cancer Chrump has been pumping into America’s bloodstream rub off on him?  Only time will tell.  If his un-presidency does survive until the 2020 election, he must be excised from the body politic, or the great experiment begun in 1776 will have to start from scratch.  Unfortunately, trying to scratch through Teflon is almost impossible.  Plus, it causes cancer.

Mystery Non-Science Theater 2019


A quick break in the Impeachment Season festivities with something completely unrelated that grabbed the tiny part of my attention not obsessed with Chrump’s come-uppance (such as it is for now).
On December 12, 2019 two articles caught my attention on CNN.com.  No, not those two articles.
First I saw this familiar image and its headline:

I don’t know if anyone paid attention to the other article on the same page:

Mystery solved?

A Song for The Holiday Season

Impeachment (The Song)

December 16, 2019
The House Judiciary Committee has the Constitutional duty, as circumstances dictate, to vote whether or not to send articles of impeachment to the full House.  Yesterday the committee voted to send two articles of impeachment against washed up reality TV star and current part-time president Donald Chrump.  It is likely that the full House of Representatives will vote to impeach the motherfucker already, putting Chrump’s fate in the filthy hands of his co-conspirator and fellow Russophile Mitch McConnell.  McConnell has had his thumb on the scale all along by refusing to protect our elections from his benefactors in Russia who put considerable effort into aiding the Chrump campaign, in addition to Moscow Mitch’s other sweet deals with Putin’s pals. 
Orange haze all in my brain, lately things they don’t seem too sane
There is no shred of doubt that Moscow Mitch plans to pervert the impeachment trial in order to minimize the risk of any Republican’ts suddenly regaining consciousness and realizing what a dishonest, autocratic whack-job they have been enabling.  McConnell is also trying to avoid the chaotic media event Chrump craves.  Moscow Mitch had no shame in announcing on Fux News that he and his fellow Republican’ts are working dick in hand with the Chrump legal team to make sure there is no chance of justice breaking out in the Senate. 

Yeah, a fair………“trial” in the Senate. What a kidder.
McConnell told Sean Hannity’s viewers, “Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with the White House counsel.  We’ll be working through this process, hopefully in a fairly short period of time, in total coordination with the White House counsel’s office and the people who are representing the president in the well of the Senate.”  We are still waiting for confirmation that McConnell is planning to let Chrump sit in on the trial so he can live-tweet the proceedings.

Lilly-Livered-Lapdog Lindsey Graham has made it clear that Republican’ts have no intention of calling any witnesses.  To be fair, this might be because every witness they have brought forth thus far has been somewhat less than helpful, probably because no one has either evidence or justification for the treasonous behavior of their Dear Leader.  Graham publicly proclaimed, “I’m not trying to pretend to be a fair juror here.”  Nonetheless, you would think there would be at least the pretense of a fair trial.  Fuggedaboudit.


A jury of Chrump’s peers – Mitch’s Bitches:
All fucked up and ready to go 
All of this is in stark contrast to the Senate Impeachment Oath that each senator will take (for more than half of them, fake) at the outset of Donald Chrump’s Happy-Day,  Super-Duper, Long-Overdue, God-Bless-America Fake Impeachment trial. The special oath states: “I solemnly swear…that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of [Donald J. Trump], now pending, I will do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws: So help me God.”  Let me put this as delicately and appropriately as possible – Fuck you Moscow Mitch.
I am neither lawyer nor senator, but my understanding is that an impeachment trial pits the president/defendant – the impeachee – against the House of Representatives – the impeacher, with the full Senate acting as jury.  So, what we appear to have here is the jury colluding with the only-considered-innocent-because-he-won’t-be-found-guilty-despite-having-admitted-to-the-crime defendant. 
Ladies and gentlemen, Chrump may talk like an idiot, and look like an idiot,
but don’t let that fool you, he really is an idiot.
In a desperate attempt to retain some semblance of sanity, and back away from the beckoning precipice of despair, we gamely offer another lighthearted Paying Attention song parody.  Get ready to sing along with anyone but Mitch.
From the upcoming musical West Wing Story:

Impeachment (sung to the tune of Maria, with apologies to Stephen Sondheim)

The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Impeachment, Impeachment, Impeachment, Impeachment
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word
Impeachment, Impeachment, Impeachment, Impeachment
Impeachment, Impeachment, Impeachment
We’re finally having Impeachment
And suddenly that word
Applied to such a turd
What glee
Impeachment!
My ears just love hearing Impeachment
It almost seems absurd
How wonderful a word
Can be!
Impeachment!
Say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying*
Impeachment
I'll never stop saying Impeachment!
(And neither should you.  Not until the fat man screams.)
*other than for the purposes of this song, there is really no point in saying it softly


Early reviews for the upcoming musical West Wing Story are in…

“You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll lose your lunch, you’ll hate yourself in the morning.”
Rolling Stone

“Not since Hamilton has anything been so hysterically historical and so
historically hysterical.”
Yelp

“Don’t see West Wing Story if you’ve ever thought of suicide,
or ever plan to be around other people again”
Craig’s List

“Side effects include perpetual moroseness, cranio-rectal insertion, cheez whiz 
breath, enhanced interrogation, projectile apathy and many more.”

It’s Miller Slime

One Cagey Bastard

December 14, 2019

How about for hiring white nationalists as top advisors?
 
With impeachment hanging so heavily in the air, it is sometimes difficult to focus on other issues.  Asshole Ambassador Gordon Sondland testified that "everyone was in the loop" on extorting Ukraine for fake dirt on Joe Biden.  All of Chrump's (third-string) best people were just following orders to aid and abet their boss's continuing attempts to do Russia's bidding, which includes getting Chrump re-elected by the Electoral College.  One of the few West Wingers not to be mentioned in the Ukraine scandal was Chrump's golden (white, actually) boy and immigration policy architect, Stephen Miller.  Miller did pop up in the headlines recently for his own special brand of assholery.

Stephen “The Ghost of Nazis Past” Miller continues to flaunt his white nationalist bona fides.  The usually contained stench of Chrump’s right-hand accomplice recently seeped beyond the confines of the West Wing. 
The Southern Poverty Law Center uncovered 900 emails sent between 2015 and 2016, from anti-president Chrump’s top advisor and architect of the White House’s immigration-policy-of-mass-destruction to ultra-right-wing outlet, former home to Steve Bannon – Breitbart.  The emails were to no one’s surprise chock full of links and references to white nationalist dog whistles and websites – 80 percent of them.  This disclosure of the patently obvious has brought forth calls for Miller’s ouster.  The Bigot-in-chief however, is standing by his Gollum.  Seeing as white nationalism is now foundational to Chrump’s national policy and is the glue holding Chrump’s voting demographic together, Miller’s enshrinement in the who’s who of WTF will only serve to strengthen Chrump’s image among the not-so-few, the erroneously proud…the Maroons.
An ebullient Miller celebrates the day he finally escaped
his mother’s womb, vowing one day to put children in cages
Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has started a petition demanding that Miller resign.  The petition states, “A white nationalist is currently serving as a top advisor to the President of the United States.  This man cannot serve in the White House. Sign your name to demand his resignation immediately.”  Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, “Stephen Miller must resign. Now.  Each day we allow a white nationalist to be in charge of US immigration policy is a day where thousands of children & families lives are in danger.  This year alone, under Miller's direction, the US has put almost 70,000 children in custody.”
Miller, who clearly should have been born decades earlier when he could have helped the Nazis exterminate his own people, must now be content working for the most racist, brutish president in modern American history.  Surely, Miller is unhappy being constrained to merely locking innocent children in cages while similarly being reduced to deporting, rather than exterminating, their parents.  Miller, who grew up in a liberal Jewish household, somehow seems completely at ease knowing that he has made it impossible for many of these migrant parents to ever find their kidnapped children again.

Non-Impeachment News

Greta Versus Clodzilla

December 13, 2019
Donald Chrump is desperately trying to distract us from the raging impeachment fire set off by his unending-crime-spree presidency.  One way Dumb Donald has chosen to blow off steam is to attack a teen-age girl who has dared pull the spotlight away from the giant orange hot-air buffoon.

After the very mature 16-year-old Greta Thunberg was named Time Magazine’s Person of The Year, the literally insanely immature 73-year-old Donald Chrump responded as only he would. 

Thunberg’s climate activism wins out over Chrump’s climate denial, and the poorly reported fact that Chrump emits more methane than most herds of cattle.  He inadvertently alluded to this fact when he let on that he flushes his toilet “10-15 times instead of once.”  I will not insult your intelligence with jokes about how full of shit he must be, or about movie parodies like The President Always Flushes Twice (Or Possibly 10-15 Times). 
Chrump, obviously jealous and mentally defective, is on the short list to win Time’s lesser known Prick of The Year.

Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thunberg, as always, was unfazed by the deranged old man screaming at her to get off his planet.  She is unquestionably, as a teen-aged girl, a better man than Chrump.
Clearly Mrs. Chrump’s anti-bullying campaign did not start at home.  If this is her darling Donald being best, Melania might have to change her signature slogan to Who Gives a Fuck?  I think that would be best.

Thought For The Day


He Who Gets Laughed at Last
December 13, 2019
How ironic that the main thing keeping Donald Chrump's approval numbers from completely tanking  is the fact that despite all his flailing around, his bulk is kept afloat by the wave of Obama’s economic recovery from the Bush/Cheney tsunami of destruction.  Chrump will not take responsibility for any of his many failures, but he is more than happy to take credit for others’ achievements, which he does routinely.  Rest assured, given enough time, say a second term, he will destroy the economy as surely as he has already destroyed the rule of law, the office of president, our national security, the environment, and America’s reputation across the globe.  
World leaders discussing America’s laughing stock, Chrump
The Whole World’s Laughing, The Whole World’s Laughing
Several world leaders were overheard ridiculing Chrump at the recent NATO summit in London.  These leaders, with the possible exception of Boris Johnson – because, who gives a shit about Boris Johnson – did not laugh at Barack Obama; they respected and trusted him.  There is arguably no leader of consequence that either respects or trusts Chrump, and this “secret” bled into full public view thanks to a video surreptitiously shot at the NATO gathering.  Predictably, our thin-skinned anti-president had his widdle feewings hurt.

The man who constantly hurls childish epithets at just about everyone, all the time, threw a hissy fit, packed up his hamberders and covfefe and left the meeting early, presumably to have a good cry with Sean Hannity and Vladimir Putin.  A real tough guy.  Every time Chrump opens his mouth America loses an IQ point.
