I’ve been trying to decide what to call the unhinged orange toddler we’ve somehow elected to the most powerful position in the free world. He lost the popular vote by 2.7 million (and counting), and he sure as hell isn’t my president. So finally I’ve settled on a fitting title. For the next four years, he may rise to the highest office in the land, but he will always be just The Hate Pumpkin to me.
p.s. Hey, if we can’t laugh at our most terrible of presidential predicaments we’ll, well, it's physically not possible to cry for 1,460 days straight, is it?
p.p.s. For the few of you suggesting nothing will change for LGBT folks under The Hate Pumpkin, you do realize ever single one of his cabinet nominees so far has been staunchly anti-LGBT, right? And you also realize he will be in charge of nominating federal judges and Supreme Court justices and has promised to deliver on Scalia-like far-right selections, right? And you realize he can immediately reverse all of President Obama’s executive orders protecting LGBT federal workers and contractors, right? And you also realize the GOP is dedicated to passing an extreme anti-LGBT, so-called “religious freedom” bill that would make it legal to discrimination against LGBT folks for religious reasons by governments, hospitals, universities, businesses, etc., right?

2.7 million more votes and you lose. This system clearly doesn't work
Who can honestly think that we will be immune from retaliation? I'm sure they want to repeal the supreme court's decision on gay marriage. I've never been scared for the country before, but I am now.
'WE' DIDN'T elect him president and it;s time that we start to identify the loathful segment of society that did. People like Angie Harmon, someone you comnstantly deified. How could you?
Well the one good thing at least the stock market is up 1200 points since the election. My 401k is doing a happy dance!
In my head since this weekend I've gone from calling him the orange menace to calling him Putin's Butt Boy, most ironically.
