QOTD II -- Turtle In Distress

 “That is the President of the United States. That is the most powerful person in the world and we see him like an obese turtle on his back flailing in the hot sun realizing his time is over.”-- CNN's Anderson Cooper, reacting on camera to another bizarre appearance tonight by sore loser Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump, which was so full of dangerous bullshit and conspiracy mongering that all the networks cut away from it early, and all fact- checked it afterward.

Reactions To Trump's "Shithole" Remark (UPDATED)

Racist shithole Donald "Rump" Trump's remarks yesterday, labeling Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as "shithole countries" prompted immediate outrage (and some pointed humor) last night. Here are two fairly representative examples, first from CNN's Anderson Cooper, then Stephen Colbert.

"Let me be clear.... the people of Haiti have been through more, withstood more, fought back against more injustice... than our President ever has" Anderson Cooper choked back tears as he reflected on his relationship with Haiti, and its people https://t.co/3arEalkKOM

Wait for Colbert's "wedge" takedown:



UPDATE:  Of course, the lying, racist shithole is on Twitter this morning denying he used those words. Here's what one attendee, Illinois Democrat Sen. Dick Durbin, has to say about those denials--
