I’m sitting in a tiny bathroom right now with my dog waiting on some skunk odor remover to do its magic after our dog was skunked for the third time in ten days (the goddamn dog keeps chasing skunks under our porch stairs). I’m in an enclosed space with the dog and it is miserable, and the odor remover isn’t doing a damn thing. It smells like sulfur and ammonia and Nazis.
Anyway, while I’m dealing with this ordeal again, I have taken some comfort in the denunciations I have been reading on Twitter while I’m waiting. I’m taking less comfort, unfortunately, from the folks at Fox News.
Anyway, here’s what’s going on at the moment on social media.
Van Jones is making me cry. "It's not just the people you're emboldening. It's the people you're abandoning." #ImpeachTrump

Fox News and some other pro-Trump conservatives, of course, remains as deluded as ever.
President @realDonaldTrump once again denounced hate today. The GOP stands behind his message of love and inclusiveness!

The living former presidents - Bushes, Carter, Clinton & Obama- should make a joint statement calling on the racist Trump to resign.
