(23,123 posts)this is certainly not a given. People who oppose him often end up dead.
NewJeffCT
(56,828 posts)Calling people names and threatening them has gotten him to the presidency. Why should he stop? Are Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell suddenly going to undergo spinal infusions and start standing up to him?
He got through the GOP primaries insulting Low Energy Jeb Bush, Lyin' Ted Cruz and Little Marco Rubio.. .and then the general election with Crooked Hillary Clinton.

(10,252 posts)Even Morning Joe was ridiculing the memo with a sad trombone. Trump was warned not to release the memo, that it would nullify his State of the Union address. Heard on MJ an actual Republican call for fellow Republicans to vote for anyone except a GOP candidate to send a message that the GOP needs to get its shit together and serve the country first.

We give him too much "web space" and Twitter has a hand in all of this.
45/140 specializes in personal attacks and they continue to allow It to run free. They need to suspend that account for a few days.

Members of Congress
...shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, and in going to and from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
Btw, why would you think a D memo that they wish to release would "reveal sources"?
exboyfil
(17,863 posts)without doing those things. That is my point. I can hear the headline now if they reveal classified information on the floor. The zombies will eat it up. You know IOKIYAR.

Some of my relatives and trump supporters are now quiet, knowing they can not defend him (I think) Although there are a few who are still supporting him. I have simply cut off contact with them.

(9,688 posts)I was struck by the fact that everyone on his "liar and leaker " list are highly competent, straight-arrow types (OK, Comey's history is complicated, I know): in fact, his list, plus Mueller, represents everyone in which I place hope that we will somehow get through this nightmare. Warner and Schiff in particular have really risen to the occasion.
Over and over, #45 is freaked out by competent, serious people, and anyone who opposes him in any way. Insecure bullying autocrat: the worst. He and his enablers are the ones who must be stopped.

CIA, the DoJ, members of congress, and the FBI told him that was a bad idea and
it weakened our national security.

avebury
(10,952 posts)of Trump's tweets, Twitter should be held equally liable (criminally and civilly) for whatever happens. For Twitter to continue to allow Trump to stir up his base in an action that has the very real possibility of resulting in physical harm to Schiff and/or his family is criminally irresponsible of Twitter. Rational people understand the potential consequence of Trump's actions - i.e. there are a lot of bat sh*t crazy people in his base who might take Trump's tweets to heart and go after Schiff and/or his family. Negligent disregard of the safety of others.

Warner.

Grammy23
(5,810 posts)In typical bullying style he attacks people for things they usually cannot control and are highly visible. (Height, weight, face, disabilities) It is the lowest thing to attack but also easy, as well. His minions seem to eat it up and think it shows how smart he is.
On the contrary, it does no such thing. If anything, it shows how shallow he is. His knowledge of history, substantive details and long term consequences of policies is missing so he goes after things that dont matter or are irrelevant to the matter.
He is running out of vocabulary to use to belittle his opponents. Not that he had a vast repertoire to begin with, but when Little is the best you can come up with and you use it over and over, it just demonstrates your lack of creativity and intelligence. When you have to remind people again and again how smart you are, how you use the best words and have a superior education, it might be because you are none of those things.
The Twitter attacks are wearing a little thin and when you start to repeat yourself, it is time to rethink your tactics. Might not be the most effective strategy to go beyond the base.
