Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News. It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description. Mainstream Media must clean up its act, FAST!

Make no mistake: The President of the United States is suggesting that the targets of yesterdays bombings deserved it.
Thats would be appalling enough in the abstract, but its indefensible here given his role in inciting and fomenting the very anger hes blaming on others...

Something to tear down Donnys ads. He would have been better served to do the roll out on Ari Melber. Ari is respectful to Donny, who has a brain bigger than Joe and Mika put together.

(17,986 posts)Her piety is sickening since Mika and Joe had a big hand in electing their dear friend, Donald!

(6,229 posts)there's no admitting you are wrong? Every morning I hear Mika, Joe and their panels attack trump and the repubs. It's clear you don't watch them now.

(17,986 posts)As much as I can but have a morning regimen at tne Y Pool. I think that is much better than sitting in front of the TV all the time.
Yesterday during the last hour they had a Democratic commercial. Today Mika was blaming Democrats so I turned it on to CNN. You know ,the station that received a bomb threat? Those guys were truly upset about their friends and cowaorkers, standing out in the cold.
Mika and Joe share a great deal of blame for helping elect their dear friend, Donald.
So forgive me if I do not put a lot of stock in their wishy washy opinions.

Before he went into the White House the lived almost separate lives.

(22,651 posts)Melania seems to love her son very much & that's probably part of why she has to stay married to such an abusive, asshole man.

(23,322 posts)Do not forget that she is a birther and she recently said shes the most bullied person in the world and blamed the media for that. Shes built her own hell.

(23,105 posts)If "we" the opposition don't shut up, actions will be escalated and he will be sure to send the right dog-whistle to incite them to more violence. This is getting real, folks. I'm scared, I'm 66 and have a bad back and bad leg and haven't been in a fight since I was 16 and got beat up for defending my little sister against a pack of bullies at a football game. I did the right thing, but boy did it ever hurt. I hope we aren't going to be forced to make those kind of decisions, but obviously the other side doesn't care about the lives of anyone who speaks out against drumpf so it's more possible than I would have thought prior to this massive effort to hurt or kill Democrats.
Sunlei
(22,651 posts)President Trump has a lifetime of experience at "ruining" people.
Now he has political power to assist him in "ruining" 'people' or 'groups' or 'businesses' or 'free press' he (and the Republican party) don't 'like'.
"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority"

(33,345 posts)People dare to compare him to Historical Figures!
I myself compared him to Ethelred the Unready, and it was so unfair and divisive that some RWNJ was forced to send DeNiro a pipe bomb.
