<Smirk> Just so you know this is not supposed to be taken seriously by the easily offended brain cell deficient clueless. <Smirk>
The hand gesture symbol "Ok" is now racist according to the aforementioned persons.
What does that make the longest middle finger or digit standing in its lonesome glory projected towards someone?
Traditionally, it means, "Fxxk you," a term of derision, disrespect, or you are a moron."
Seriously, how can I get this hand gesture banned?
I can start the rumor that it is a bias, sexist, homophobic gesture. Hum, if a man does it to another man, he is soliciting sex. If a woman does it to a woman, she is soliciting sex. If a man does it to a woman, or a woman does it to a man, then they are implying that the other person is <Gasp> swinging the other way or taking medical treatments to transition through a physical sex change, thus it is still a homophobic gesture. Then again, they may be making an unlawful request.
What do you think? Can the new meaning catch on?

I have just been diagnosed with an illness, TFS. It is injurious to long-term health and perhaps too early to say whether it is fatal.

TFS stand for Trump Fatigue Syndrome. It is caused by overexposure to President Donald Trump. Its symptoms include a depressing sense of watching the same drama over and over again. And just like being stuck in a movie theater watching a badly scripted and poorly produced B movie, it begins with feelings of exhaustion then panic with the realization that it may never end.

All diseases have vectors; the carriers of this disease are the mass media of both left and right political persuasion. They cover Trump endlessly became it generates more viewers and listeners. The presentations are suitably tailored to appeal to their respective audiences. Trump the hero of the forgotten Americans on Fox News. Trump the political incompetent on CNN. Trump generates money for the networks whatever their position. He makes news and attracts viewers through constant controversies.

The president provides all the tweets, images, talking points, and general mayhem: all the media has to do is to roll the camera and queue the talking head panels. For the mass media Trump is the equivalent of easy money; for the audience the equivalent of empty sugar calories that produce a buzz but not much substance. In the age of Trump fascination there’s no need to send reporters on overseas missions, or do deep reporting about what ails the republic and its peoples. The cheap and easy coverage of Trump allows us to imagine that we are engaged in political debate or critical analysis while in reality we are just party to a flim flam show masquerading as the US presidency.

All diseases have symptoms. For those on the left there is a rising sense of exasperation about what the president does and says. Outrage is continually aroused leading to exhaustion. For those more to the right there is a feeling of resentment against the antipathy to their president. Again, outrage is continually aroused leading to exhaustion.

Most diseases have cures. We should begin our diagnosis with the realization that we no longer inhabit a republic of political debate but a squalid banality of neo-reality television. This fever of constant outrage will have to be purged or it may kill us all.

And there is no doubt, trump is impeached, now and forever, but the question remains, will he remain in office?

Given that there are more repukes in the senate who do exactly as they are ordered to, trump will probably survive until the general election.

Unless his vanity, stupidity, and ego drive him to become a witness and testify on his own behalf.
And that would be so entertaining, since he would have to answer questions he wouldn't want to answer.

Whether you like this or not you need to see it to know how our president is being seen in the eyes of the world, notice I say our president? Whether I approve of the man or the job he's doing he is the president of the united states, and it is deeply appalling and embarrassing to see this country reduced to this in the eyes of the world...and it's about time you all woke up to this fact.

Macron tells him in a press event, "let's be serious"? To be fair trump was sounding like a complete idiot, and I guess the facts are where you find them, because I doubt you'll see this on FOX

Then of course trump saw video that surfaced of several leaders including Macron and Boris yukking it up about how hilariously appalling trump's "performance" was at the lengthy press engagement, teasing Macron about why was he late.

Which led to trump acting like the spoiled bratty baby he is as he left a meeting with koreans

OK, we understand you've got the attention span of a mosquito seeking blood, but really, you don't know that when there is a difference of understanding, a conflict, between Congress and the President the third body, SCOTUS, is the arbitrator? Founders had a great insight whereas you Progressives only incite by suggesting the Legislative is superior to the Executive.

The only reason sorry bastards want to see Trump's tax returns is it's part of the continuing hysterical desperate efforts to impeach Trump.
