Greetings Webtaculators! We did it! We survived the first quarter of 2017. Sadly, that cannot be said for the majority of the college basketball teams. On to the news.
STORY OF THE WEEK (5 min. read)
What: The LA Times Is Not Impressed
Why: Because I doubt a major newspaper has ever taken the time to write this much about how bad a sitting president is, especially in this tone:
“It was no secret during the campaign that Donald Trump was a narcissist and a demagogue who used fear and dishonesty to appeal to the worst in American voters. The Times called him unprepared and unsuited for the job he was seeking, and said his election would be a ‘catastrophe.’
Still nothing prepared us for the magnitude of this train wreck.”
To reiterate – here’s a complete rundown of all the things Trump has done so far.
