I am all out of polite. by Janis Ian

15 NFL players were arrested for violence against women 2012-2014. 44 NFL players have been accused of sexual assault in the past few years. Ray Rice is on camera punching his girlfriend - not slapping, but punching - then dragging her unconscious body out of the elevator by her hair.


And what does the president of our country decide to attack? https://www.nytimes.com/…/football/trump-nfl-kaepernick.html


I'm sorry, I'm all out of polite terms. What an ignorant, racist, misogynistic piece of garbage he is. 


Anyone who still follows this man has no place in the life of civilized human beings.


Trump trolls, don't come on here and spout the "But he's really got my interests at heart" or "We know he's a creep but he'll be good for the country" or "I voted for him because he stands up for the little guy". That is likewise a load of crap. 


Flint Michigan still has no drinking water. The head of the EPA has a bigger security detail than Beyonce. The president doesn't bother paying taxes and calls that "just good business".


You may not be a racist, yourself. You may not be a misogynist, yourself. You may not even be an ignorant piece of garbage, yourself. But if you defend him, you tacitly agree with him. If you support him, you support his behavior. And I will be quite happy to call you an ignorant, racist, misogynistic piece of garbage. 


I'm all out of polite.
