Once, the United States was held up as an example to the world: you too can create a nation of checks and balances on power and corruption. Now, with #DonaldTrump in the presidency and his ranting antics, the world calls us hypocrites.

Before we could mask ourselves with civility and tact. Now that the mask is gone the World is getting a glimpse of America's ugliness.

So true. Our ugly underbelly - the one most of us pretend doesn't exist - has been exposed and our national embarrassment is on the world stage destroying a hundred years of American supremacy.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him !
