Elton John on his reaction to Donald Trump calling Kim Jong Un “Little Rocket Man”: “I laughed, I thought that was brilliant... I’ve always been friendly toward him, and I thank him for his support. When he did that, I just thought it was hilarious.” https://t.co/QXV9VqAtuT pic.twitter.com/MNhsNzFwlR

I'm so sick of this POS. Given a chance to repudiate Trump and firmly endorse Kamala Harris, Elton John — who also sang for Rush Limbaugh, and happily so — praises Trump for supporting him, calls a dumb joke Trump made “brilliant.”
There is something very Trumpian about being cool with dictators as long as they're cool with you.
He goes on to refuse to differentiate between Republicans and Democrats, and simply says to just vote for “things that are just.” Why equivocate at all at this point?

Speaking of assholes, George W. Bush has decided not to endorse one way or another, which USED TO BE enough to be damning. Now, with the Cheneys endorsing, it's simply not enough to sit on the sidelines. (Not that I'm overly disappointed in W, who I always thought of as garbage anyway.)
