There are enough stupid people in this nation who voted for a convicted criminal to win the election to be the 47 th president of the United States. There are left-leaning pundits who think we shouldn’t denigrate the people that voted for Donald J. Trump to be president, but how can we describe the people that marked their ballots for the criminal? They are fucking stupid.

Your first love seems so intense as the fresh new infatuation flourishes. I was 16 and she was 15-1/2. I was inexperienced, naive and for lack of a better word, innocent. I had no idea of the path this dawn of love was going to take me on.
