Good! I can imagine Lithgow reading these verses must add a lot to the experience, but as it is, I’m so disgusted by Dumpfeld and this entire administration that I haven’t the heart to laugh much. I just want them gone and remembered as an embarrassing anecdote in American history (make that human history!). There’ll still remain the hordes of deplorables who’ve now been activated worldwide to deal with, however. No matter how I look at it... how do you laugh at your worst nightmare become a reality? Lithgow put in a fantastic effort all the same.

Update: July 7/2021 Didn’t like this review? I DON’T CARE; suck it up, loser. I win every time I enter a challenge. I'm tested constantly and true. True spectrum, that is, ye assholes. LMFAO

Brenda Name calling distracts from this review. It gives the appearance of hysteria. 60 million plus fellow Americans voted for DT. Political disagreement has been a part of our republic since its beginning. Whether Conservative, Libertarian, Liberal, Democrat or Republican, their motives, whether we agree or not, is to advance their concept of America.


Ilana Go away.

I hate to see this sort of thing on Goodreads. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you don't like a review, don't read it.


Ilana Barbara: we know how defensive his fans are. Just as thin-skinned as he is. Objecting to my reviewing approach and what sort of language is not acceptable is just the sort of hypocrisy I can’t stand from these cult followers. Meanwhile, let sick people die because Medicare is EVIL and SOCIALIST. They can just stuff their opinions. 🙄


Lexxi Kitty Regarding "I can imagine Lithgow reading these verses must add a lot to the experience" - I thought the same thing, so I, after the fact, tried the sample for the audiobook. If you like sound effects, you might like it. I didn't want to hear people farting, and other such sounds, so I'm glad I read instead of listened.


Ilana Thanks for your feedback Lexxi. I rarely enjoy sound effects unless they’re well done and all too often I find them gimmicky more than anything else. Think I’ll pass considering what you described.


Ilana Libtard. You still use that old insult? You actually think I’m a liberal? That’s funny. And I’m the one who’s deficient, am I? 😂


Janet Pawelek You took the words right out of my mouth!


Janet Pawelek Meaning…I love your review…

Usually people say that in a positive way, I've yet to see anyone be angry about me expressing something for them they struggled to express. It's a gift I have. One of many. I discovered this year I've been ADHD and a mad genius all along. Been lied to about being... unimaginative, and bipolar and malignant and toxic for instance. Endless confusion. I'm good at sorting things out eventually. xo
