There aren't any. Trump doesn't have lines. He mocked a disabled reporter. He tore children from their parents and called it a deterrent. He traveled around with Tic-Tacs in case he ran into a woman he wanted to kiss and grab by the pussy. He said they let him do it because he's a star.
Trump expressed a sickening interest in his own daughter. He praised dictators but demeaned Gold Star families if they're too brownish. He said there are good people on both sides, even if one side wore Nazi arm bands. He used a ceremony honoring Navajo code talkers to spit out "Pocahontas" as a way to demean Elizabeth Warren. Trump said he prefers military folks who don't get captured like John McCain did. Odd statement coming from someone with five deferments and so many scheduled golf games he doesn't have time to visit our troops overseas.
Trump discards historical norms and standards of decency like they're bald tires, no longer of any use. He threw paper towel rolls at hurricane victims and boasted about Himself at the C.I.A Memorial Wall.
Donald Trump is a national disgrace. No values, no guiding principles, no belief system, no loyalty. No nothing. He has taken our flag, our honor, our history, and flushed it down one of his 24K gold toilets. He has razed our institutions, threatened our rights and put every single one of us at risk.
Forget crossing lines. They're long gone. Restore them with your VOTE.

(24 posts)That's what I don't get. Is what he's doing percived as just another president doing his thing? But that can't be, and why can't people see that?

Certainly the biggest puzzle out of this whole mess.
Really, W-T-F are those "supporters" thinking?

(90,714 posts)Democrats are not perfect, but they are a hundred times better than the GOP as it now stands.
As a consequence Democratic Underground is a site dedicated to getting Democrats elected and keeping Democrats in office.
We welcome the help of those outside the party, but it is against the Terms of Service that you just signed to state that both parties are the same or to advocate for voting for those who are not members of the Democratic Party -- no matter what.
QUOTE:
"And over the last 40-50 years, that is what this country has come to represent! The conservatives claim they want to return to traditional values (both economic and moral) while they line their pockets, screw over "the people" they represent, and play golf; the democrats hide it better, speak eloquently and pretend they see a greater purpose in this madness, yet still find a way to profit. Greed is out of control. Greed is the enemy.
Voting is essential, voting for principled people; people who possess both integrity and equanimity. People who understand the difference between morality and ethics and are committed to doing the right thing for everyone.
But where are they?"

"Mr. Putin, do you have something on Mr. Trump?" My favorite question from the Helsinki summit.
