"Also, he's a piece of shit." How many times has this thought popped into my head over the last six years?

How about thinking of him as an "execrable poltroon" instead? More elegant, and he'd have to look it up. Or perhaps recreant lickspittle or cringing quisling. These miscreants are so numerous and disgraceful that hardly any appellation of contumely the rich English language affords would not justly apply.

Although I fear this would contravene JVL's program of promoting civility and comity. Maybe just sticking to a few carefully deployed anglo saxon nouns and adjectives is best.

HeтАЩs a greedy coward as so many of these GOP are, which equates to POS as so many of these GOP are. Hopefully that becomes more unacceptable to American voters.

I do think we should specify GOP Politicians rather than lump all GOP in it. It also irritates me when politicians purport to speak for America or Americans. They never do. They speak usually for their own self-interests.
