Coservative doesn't equal rightwing, doesn't equal stupid.
One of my favorite columnists is a Conservative. But apart from his economic views, we're mainly on the same wavelength.

Reagan had been deeply involved in politics and had been the governor of California. There's no comparison between Reagan and Trump. I'd feel so goddamn lucky right now if the Gipper rose up out of the grave and took over for the Orange Gasbag.
As for Trump's shortcomings---hell, he's an agglomeration of shortcomings---what is there that's new to be said about the motherfucker?
Buckle up, it's going to be an insane ride. His speech was obnoxious, bellicose, and promises dark days ahead.

His speech was full of crap. He made me throw up in my mouth a little. Seriously. Nausea on top of the nausea I have already been experiencing from a virus this week, wasn't very nice.

I'll read the text of the speech, which will be sickening enough. Watching the gibbering orangutan live is above my nausea level.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I only watched it because it came across my FB feed as a live event. Since I don't get TV, I watched it. I was hoping for some carnage, but was left utterly disappointed.

I'll read the transcript of the speech, too.
I deliberately avoided watching the inauguration and did work instead. Trump is bad enough. I had no reason to also subject myself to Franklin Graham, talking to his imaginary friend. I had quite enough of his smug, useless father officiating at every fucking public event known to man to last a lifetime.
