Yes, We Are Shocked

By Baxter

Oh, wow. We cats are dismayed by so much about this Administration, but here's what's really bugging us tonight.

Have we Americans really reached the point where the media are forced to use the word "sh*thole"? Because, goodness gracious, if that's the case, include us out.

We understand that many political leaders — indeed, many Democrats — have employed colorful language. Lyndon Johnson surely was the champion of same. FDR probably also expressed himself vividly. On the other side, Richard Nixon earned plenty of naughty-words gold medals, as we all learned from the Watergate tapes.

But never before has a President so exposed himself to the international community as a common, ignorant, vulgar person. Dignity of the office and all that, you know? Not to mention that every word from a President's mouth carries significant weight.

Here's what we cats are sick of: not that a Chief Executive would use bad words. But that he wouldn't appreciate that what he says matters. That he's stupid enough not to understand that if he makes an offhand comment, it could offend multiple people around the world.

Because you know what? America is not an island. It's really important not to repulse the rest of the planet. Just sayin'. On that note, we cats fucking hate Donald Trump, and we HISS.
