Looks like a Democrat might win the Kentucky Governor's race.
And the Virginia legislature went Democrat today, too.
Trump is a political liability. The GOP had better run from that albatross before he sh!ts on even more campaigns.
Kentucky. Democrat. lol
Mitch McConnell had better be scared.

Todd Nah. 17% is pretty good for a senator. Remember that Congress is the only entity in Washington with a lower approval rating than Trump, and for good reason; those chumps haven't accomplished a damned thing of note in the past couple decades. I'm kidding, but only a little. Hopefully, the good folks in Kentucky will vote him out, because he was single-handedly responsible for blocking every good bit of work the House has actually tried to do since Trump took over. We must stop wasting opportunities to get legislation with bi-partisan support passed if we're to ever start addressing the big stuff like healthcare and infrastructure.

Sorry it took so long to respond, but I do work and this is just for fun anyways, but...
1. I am embarrassed about the state of our government, and our standing in the world. I think it will have long lasting bad effects in a myriad of ways.
Response: If you think Trump is to blame, alone, for the state of our government, take a good look at Washington State. If, in the end, we get better trade agreements with China and Mexico, and stay out of war... maybe we shouldn't care what the rest of the world thinks of us. Only time will tell. Right now, though, if your feelings effect your life that much, then you are a snow flake.
2. The well-being of others is directly tied to the well being of all of us. The incidence of STIs has gone up, especially in places where funding has been yanked from preventative care facilities to placate religious fanatics.
Response...... Not sure about this. But if you are worried a bit that you might catch one, then... Seems odd to blame Trump though, as rates rose from 2013 to 2018, with each year breaking the previous years high, but hey, why not just blame Trump...
3. The divisiveness and bigotry coming directly from the White House emboldens racists and bigots to act out. The incidence of race-related crime has gone up, from those "very fine people".
Response>>> Not enough data is out about this... What I do know is that reported crime has gone up. But, if you look at the total unreported and reported statistics, as seen in the FBI data, the number appears to have dropped significantly. What we do see, over the past few years, is that a higher percentage are reported as compared to unreported. The most important thing to note, however, is that the total number does appear to have dropped going into 2015 and then stayed fairly stable for 2016 and 2017. 2018 does not appear on the statistical charts. Actual reported numbers do appear to have gone up, but this does not mean more actually happened. As noted, the reported and unreported numbers flipping, with more reported and less unreported, while the total appears to remain the same. There have been a few more right wing wackos in the news, but I think the blame on this can be put on both parties. Nut jobs are nut jobs. They feed off the divisiveness coming out of Washington.
4. Trust in our national elections is greatly eroded. This literally is the basis of our Democracy. Not just allowing, but defending those in foreign governments who meddle in our elections because it benefits the criminals you want in office will be the end our Democracy if it is not stopped cold.
Response,,,, Agreed. The elections under Obama stunk. Blaming Trump because you lost, well that makes you a snow flake.... I would say lets see how this years election turns out, but, well.... I suppose there is no way they will be legitimate if Trump wins.
5. Lastly, your very post is the worst thing happening. The "I got mine, screw the rest of you!" selfish attitude is the shittiest thing for our country, but as long as idiots have someone below them to blame those at the top will continue to convert all of our resources and tax dollars into their heaps of cash. This will be the end our Democracy if it is not stopped cold.
Response... This I totally agree with, but, you repeated attacked middle class conservatives for voting for their beliefs over their self interests. And if you think this was not happening under Obama, well... that just says a lot about you. The establishment has been doing this for years. I think part of the reason Trump was elected was that many hoped he would change business as usual. If they feel he hasn't and that the Democrats will, then maybe we will see a change.
For me, my everyday life has gotten a little better under Trump. But, when I see the way Society is change, I worry. The hate from the left and the right. The changes in morals I see my kids facing each day. The misinformation and twisting of the truth (like blaming Trump for increases in STI's or claiming hate crime is so much higher because of him) scares me. It started with the Right as they attacked Obama, but gotten worse from the Left. You acted with glee when you thought a baseball player disrespected Trump or part of the Crowd booed him at an event. I can imagine how the left would have responded if the same thing happened under Obama. If someone walked by Obama and refused to shake his hand, the cries of Racist would still be echoing.
You Todd are the problem, as much as Trump.

Trump's a soft handed pussy who's never worked a day in his life, and rips off people he owes money to.
But go ahead and suck his dick if you want. Just quit trying to convince me how good it tastes.

Trump is your next president!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yours perhaps, not mine. I'm a "never Trumper", and he's Resident Trump to me. He's been nothing but a piss poor tenant of the White House during this term. With luck, he will be "evicted" or voted out of office before he can do more damage to American institutions and policies. Republicans are whining about his impeachment being an attempt by Democrats to overturn the will of the people. Bullcrap doesn't get much deeper than this. Trump was never the people's choice; he was put into office by an imaginary construct, the mindless and souless Electoral College. I doubt that the EC will be too offended if the Orange Man is impeached and run out of town.

Been celebrating the US Marine Corps birthday (Oooh Raah, Devil Dogs!) for about 30 years now. Every year, beyond the toasts to the Crotch, and other branches of our Armed Forces, we hoist a glass to the: Office of the President of the United States. I'll always toast the office, but not always the person in it. PS. Look up the history and story behind 1776 Rum Punch. That's the libation used for our toasts.

In his newly released book, Fatso Jr. tells of how he drove past Arlington Cemetery and was reminded of his own family's struggle for survival.
You know, because being attacked by Whoopi Goldberg on The View is just like charging a machine gun nest.

Acorn didn't fall too far from the crooked oak. It is acceptable to be bitter and whiney if you are a Repooplican and you are just a snowflake libtard if you are whiney but not on the team. The hypocrisy and lack of self awareness is amazing. I used to think both parties were equally hypocritical and now it is strongly the Repooplicans.

Couldn’t help but notice the difference between the fans reaction to POTUS in the Nationals game vs the LSU/Alabama game.
I’m starting to realize that ones tribe is the only thing that matters anymore.
Yes my brother is a massive shithead but he’s my brother and you’re not so die motherfucker.
