The sound of stupid



Former TV personality Phil Donahue (yes, he's still alive) refers to the Trump era as "the darkest moment in American history".

You bet. Here are some dark moments in our history that don't even come close to the darkness represented by the Trump administration...

The American Civil War




The Great Depression




The dust bowl




The attack on Pearl Harbor




Racial segregation




None of that compares to the sheer horror of this...

There was a much more recent dark moment...from 2008 to 2016. Hey, if Donahue can do it, so can I.

BTW, it is with great personal shame that I admit that I once thought I was one of the 'cool kids' because I watched his show. Another case of "What was I thinking?"

IIRC after Donohue's show ended he tried to make a come back with a new show and no one watch it. In other words his day had come and gone. Who cares what he says now?

I think we can count 9/11 as one of the darkest days in American history, but what do I know?

Donahue is still pissed off Oprah became a billionaire stealing is schtick.


I will stick up for him though, Trump is threatening the rule of leftists, that's as dark as it gets.
