shitholes

Forgive me.  I am once again angry as hell.  The following may not be as coherent as I would like.

I do not know what a shithole country is.

I do know what a shithole politician is.

I take that back.  As ridiculously easy as it is to lump all politicians together and call them shitholes, it does a great disservice to those who are there for honorable reasons and are trying their best to do right, rather than simply paying off a debt or trying to get reelected.  You know, the two or three of them that are left.

Well, maybe I don't take it back.

While the media is screaming about the statement, there is a group that is not.  You guessed it.  The shithole politicians who were at the meeting, and presumably heard every word of it.  So, sorry to the two or three honorable ones left.  You're in it with the rest of them.

For those of you keeping score at home...

There are some really fine but misunderstood nazi types out there.

All Nigerians live in huts.

All Haitians have AIDS.

Mexicans are mostly murderers and rapists.

He probably has a really good relationship with Kin Jung Un, whom he has apparently never spoken with, but whose nuclear button is not quite as big.

Puerto Ricans are fine as long as they keep their mouths shut, live in the dark and subsist upon paper towels thrown at them.

Haiti, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and most African countries are shitholes.

And on.

And on.

And on.

And silence rings from the right.

Nobody is denying the statement was made, but then again, the White House official statement in response to this news only goes as far as to say, this president will always put Americans first.  I've got news for you big boy.

WHEN YOU MAKE A STATEMENT LIKE THAT, YOU ARE NOT PUTTING THIS COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE FIRST.  IF ANYTHING, YOU ARE TREATING THEM AS POORLY AS THE HONORABLE COUNTRIES YOU TRASH WITH YOUR INFANTILE WORDS AND BEHAVIOR.

We elected this moron.

We continue to put up with him.

We reap the deserved scorn of the rest of the world, especially at this particular time Haiti, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and most African countries.

We look the other way, and simply hope we can make it to 2020, when we pray somebody with half a brain and who does not care if the schmuck in chief comes up with yet another idiotic nickname he can run with comes out of the woodwork and beats his sorry ass into the electoral college ground.  Of course, this assumes that once he is beaten, he will concede defeat and leave the White House.  We know it won't be honorably.

So maybe I do not know what a shithole country is, or what a shithole politician looks like one hundred percent of the time.

But I sure as hell do know there is a shithole living in the White House.
