One of LBJ's best: " to dumb to poor piss out of a boot if we put the instructions on the heel". When I think of people who can still support Trump that usually pops into my head.
Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary defines dishonorable as “lacking honor: shameful.”
Trump’s recent comments disparaging the heroic support our global allies provided to the United States after 9/11 are dishonorable—shameful in the extreme. Once again, this verbally incontinent president has exposed his ignorance, insensitivity, and foolishness for all the world to see.
“I have started to see Facebook posts urging people to boycott U.S. products and use their equivalents from other places. I think this is both short-sighted and morally questionable—Trump and his minions are not the whole of the USA—but I worry that this will become a trend.”
That’s how boycotts work. They’re not precision instruments—lots of people at the company (or country) you’re boycotting are not at fault. What other nonviolent options aren’t there?
Thanks Jay, for closing with the music ... it has charms much needed during news cycles like this.
The real irony is that Trump refused to answer his country's call when asked to defend it.

The insults leveled by President Trump toward our brave allies who have sacrificed so much is deeply wrong.
How did we let the not good guys take over?
My heart aches for my country.

Turn the other cheek?
You’re opposed to all boycotts? The Montgomery Bus boycott? American colonists boycotting British tea?
