A Feckless Too Far?

It should come as no surprise that Li'l Donnie Trump pisses me off. Every day.


Every single damn fucking goddam day!


He's either doing something stupid or saying something that is stupid AND a lie! 


It irks me no end that this soulless pack of shit is in the White House comporting himself in a manner that diminishes us as a country.

And as much as Trump himself pisses me off, also stoking my daily rage are all the fuckers out there still kissing his backside, licking the devil's own ass to get whatever they can get out of this moron.



So I know the anger that Trump inspires and I feel the compounding of that rage by those who would support him in his countless efforts to humiliate and degrade the ideals of this nation. 


I understand that anger.


So  Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a “feckless cunt” on her show Wednesday night.


Uh, what?  


On last night's "Full Frontal With Samantha Bee" on TBS, Sam was irked by a post Ivanka made of a photo with her child. Here's what Sam had to say about that.  



“You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless cunt! He listens to you. Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fucking stop it. Tell him it was an Obama thing and see how it goes, OK?”

Whoa, dude. 


I understand your rage. Ivanka is the Trump we hope would be able to save. She appears smart and savvy with perhaps some degree of the human empathy her father so completely lacks.


Yet Ivanka keeps acting clueless to the chaos and anguish spinning around her father's action.


Like the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem a few weeks back with photos of Ivanka standing there, smiling so sweetly, photos paired up with pictures of Palestinians being slaughtered as they protested the US defying the rest of the world and placing the American embassy to Israel in a city that the Palestinians consider still in dispute.


Or the admittedly lovely picture of mother and child that Ivanka posted on a day when the White House was pushing an aggressive position to separate children from parents among immigrants seeking entry into the country.  Ivanka holding her child so close while other children were  being ripped from theirs mothers' arms due to policies pushed by your father.


Ivanka, can't you get your daddy's attention? Can't you try to do or say something to make him stop, you feckless...


OK, I'm not going there.


Sam Bee, I love your work. I admire your fire and dedication to try to make the world see, damn it, this country's ruin that swirls about the corrupt, reprehensible man child who fucking conned and lied his way into the White House.


But Sam, I think you went a bit too far.  


Samantha Bee thinks so too. "I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night. It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.” 


TBS also issued an apology: “Samantha Bee has taken the right action in apologizing for the vile and inappropriate language she used about Ivanka Trump last night. Those words should not have been aired. It was our mistake too, and we regret it.”


Here's the thing: Yes, I understand the rage. I understand the frustration.  Donald Trump represents a danger to this country and it seems like there are too many people who cannot see it. And there are those in Trump's orbit that maybe, just maybe, can be better than he is and maybe, just maybe we can staunch the bleeding if these people would stop subsuming themselves to his selfish, petty ego and stand up to him. 


But it is hard, so damn hard, not to lose your way, blinded by the endless, daily rage. 


I won't use the word Sam Bee used but Ivanka, you are indeed feckless. 


Sadly, you are not alone. 


And this country is all the poorer for it.
