The Idiot-in-Chief is making last night’s tragic air disaster a political issue. Blaming Democrats for DEI hirings in air traffic control. He has no fucking clue about the mood of the nation and how nobody wants to hear his shit.

Please, dear God, let Joe Biden turn the presidency over to Kamala Harris for the last week so she becomes No. 47 and ruins Trump’s marketing plans.

I have added the sentence, “I support trans rights.” to all of my social media profiles. I am sick and tired of the demonization of American citizens for any reason, let alone for political gain.
