Like everyone else here, I desperately want Trump to go away.

And while watching the news, it occurred to me that one especially nice extra benefit of getting rid of Trump would also mean getting rid of that stupid cow Sarah Sanders, she of the halibut eyes and fundie homeschool wardrobe. Remarking on Senator Flake's blistering speech about how Trump pisses on the First Amendment, she said Flake is "criticizing the president because he has terrible poll numbers." Hello, dumbass? Why would someone who isn't running for re-election care about poll numbers? And this comment also implies (though obviously unintentionally because SHS is as dumb as a stump) that someone with bad poll numbers would expect to improve them by busting on Trump!

I will be so happy when that frumpy troll is gone forever from my teevee machine.

They might resent that remark, and they do not dress like Sanders. We even allowed them to wear shoes,


on Sunday.

I too wish he would go away, for many years in prison.

I doubt Sarah Huckabee or the famous homeschool family (Duggars) that hers associates with would buy their daughters pussyhats.

Wish I could have done it longer, says the wife of a public school teacher. Not all homeschooled families are fundies.

I was referring to them, not homeschooling generally. A friend of mine homeschools her kids and they are way ahead of a lot of public school kids - but they aren't memorizing Bible verses and running around dressed like the Duggard girls.

She was a teacher herself. The class time was just class time. She would not even answer the phone. Her son was younger than my daughter and FAR advanced even though I had thought she was smart. That boy got constant 1 to 1.

All the other home schoolers are nuts. One group of sisters had no concept of simple adding numbers. They did math lessons by counting eggs as they gathered them and crap like that. My son liked one of them and was "talking to" her till he found out she didn't believe in evolution and the whole family laughed when he said he did. He said he wasn't wasting time with someone that didn't believe in science, lol. I was NOT disappointed.

There are so very few qualified individuals occupying positions at all levels of this administration. The crap show is completely baked in.

Ps...have to agree about the homeschool kid comments. I know plenty of them, from many backgrounds. Sarah Sanders is a whole ‘nother breed of cat.

And FFS, get a stylist.

And you are right, why would someone who isn't running for office again give a damn about their poll numbers. The reason he is speaking the truth is because he has nothing to lose. He can finally say what he thinks.

I want to puke and blind myself when I hear him and see him.

I am so disgusted that people voted for him and still support him.

so at least you knew that he knew he was lying. Sanders lies effortlessly, drawling her falsehoods tonelessly through her nose in a voice that could curdle gin, and without batting a halibut eye.
