Why would anyone support the American president at this point? The answer is simple: Cowardice.
Republicans are sissies. They talk tough and drive trucks, but in truth are very afraid that a scary Arabic Islamo-Fascist™ is going to come to hurt them – for no reason except perhaps jealousy – and because they are so [...]
