From the opening bell, the tRump administration has been a disaster.  From sketchy inaugural donations and lying about crowd size, to today's COVID mishandling and endangering democracy by throwing shade on elections The Orange One's (my preferred reference) time in office has damaged this country. 

So to help jog people's memory, here's a short list of things he's done that the MAJORITY of Americans will find distasteful/illegal/evil/unAmerican.

Tax cuts for rich, peanuts for others

• To help his business interests, caved to Turkey and betrayed our Kurdish allies

• He has become a laughing stock of other world leaders

• Favorability of US in the world has gone down except in dictatorship countries

• Promoted budget that would diminish Social Security and Medicare


This is not an all-inclusive list, there are tons of regulations meant to protect us he has overridden, countless people he has insulted, untold number

of norms he has violated and more. At least this is a starting point though of why you should not vote to give him four more years. If he is reelected it will be an incomprehensible disaster for this country. So read over this short list one more time and go vote for Joe Biden. Return this country to decency and prominence. Vote The Orange One out.


Ah, James Thurber


The Thurber Brigade apologizes for once again getting off the path of making light of the interaction between men and women. We couldn’t sit aside without comment though when this most important election in decades takes place on November 3rd. The Brigade will get back to its usual snarky self next time. Maybe.

  1. This is totally unfair. He threw those paper towels *to* hurricane victims not *at* them.

    As you said, it's a short list. Missing:
    * breaking the Paris Agreement,
    * continuously accusing other of horrible things that were actually done by him,
    * admiring dictators and trying to be just like them, and
    * refusing to get medical treatment for his mental illness (which admittedly, doesn't even let him realize he has a mental illness).

    1. Thanks for stopping by Debbie. Yes, those should be on there too. It got to a point where I decided that if I went on too many readers might get bored/turned off. So I cut it short. Okay, plus I may be a little lazy and didn't want to keep going ;-)
