Trump's Ohio rally stunt

Trump's deranged rally stunt made a powerful case for reining in his warmaking authority. It wasn't just a string of insults. It was a clear statement that Trump views the opposition and any constraining role for Congress at all as illegitimate. New piece:

It's hard to overstate how deranged this is. And the deafening cheers from the rally crowd demonstrate once again how heavily Trump's petty, adolescent abusiveness figures as a factor in his appeal.

1. President Fred Blassie

What an idiotic shithead.

[Caliman73]

34. At least Freddie Blassie was Classy

This guy is supposedly rich and he can't even get a tailored suit. He always looks like he slept in the damn things. Probably has ring around the collar too.

He is nasty all the way around.

[3auld6phart]

40. Agree

Don't know Fred Blassie but agree with you.The orange asswipe really does looks like a slob.No class what so ever.And I'd hazard a guess he probably reeks of BO.Just bloody well looks it.Sweaty,pasty.Did I say rancid.

[kskiska]

44. Previous housekeepers said he had makeup on his collars

[Ohiogal]

2. He is utterly reprehensible.

He will never be even one one hundredth of the man Adam Schiff is. He makes me sick.

[smirkymonkey]

13. +1000

Pretty strong words coming from the Chingina. He is absolutely disgusting in every way. I cannot wait until this man is no longer in this world.

[SunSeeker]

3. Figures that Mr. Neckgina is envious of Schiff's normal neck.

50. Those aren't necks

They're amphibian vocal neck sacks.

9. Someone should grab him by that

[CaptYossarian]

12. Trump's Camel Toe.

Does that mean he's talking out his navel?

[rickyhall]

21. He's talking out of his fat ass because he is an ass.

[CaptYossarian]

24. I agree, but was referring to its proximity to his lady parts.

Let's see...a vulva where an Adam's Apple should be...a Tranny Smith, maybe?

[58Sunliner]

48. He doesn't have lady parts, and please leave transsexuals out of this as well.

[CaptYossarian]

51. I was only insulting Trump. My apologies to all others but him.

[chwaliszewski]

10. Most men have an Adam's apple on the front of their throat...

Trump has an Eve's peach.

[CaptYossarian]

14. He does remind us all of Summer's Eve.

[AZ8theist]

25. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

TRUMPS GOT A CAMEL TOE!!!!!!

[58Sunliner]

47. Neck scrotum, leave female parts out of this.

[kentuck]

4. All his supporters and Republican lawmakers are starting to act just like him.

With their lies and their idiotic, adolescent name-calling.

It's like a disease has descended.

[Politicub]

5. It frustrates me that our system of governance is so broken that

a lose cannon such as Trump is able to consolidate as much political power as he has done.

I'm tired of talking about how the next president will need to right the ship, as it were; now I'm starting to believe the very structure of the ship has rotted and is falling away.

I do believe the democratic party will prevail come November. There's too much pent-up anger about Trump that will vastly overpower his loyal base. That will be an important victory, for sure.

Should the democratic administration become as ruthless or more ruthless in pushing progressive ideas, structural reforms and social programs than republicans have across the country and in the federal government have done with authoritarian programs?

The house is burning and needs rebuilding.

[Doremus]

39. This.

Whoever the next Dem president is, they will have to be tough as nails and aggressive as hell to fix everything that dump has purposely fucked up. No more go along to get along. The future of our country is at stake.

[Cosmocat]

42. Yeah, even if we can beat him in November AND actually get him out of the White House

it is going to be hell for whoever the D POTUS is.

People don't get how bad it would have been if Hillary had won.

He if the ring leader now, but they were BARELY contained in their hatred and opposition to BHO.

Now that the lesser aspects of their spirits have been unleashed, not sure how the genie goes back in the bottle.

[CrispyQ]

49. The dems have not been a strong enough opposition party the past 40 years, IMO.

It's an unpopular opinion but I think our side does have some blame in where we're at today. The dems ran scared from the word liberal when Reagan started poking fun at it. Then we stupidly ignored hate radio and still do. We are now 40 years behind the 8-ball on messaging. We've conceded the narrative on every issue and I don't see any evidence that party leadership thinks this is a problem. We need a marketing department, stat!

I guess my point is, I don't see the party acting bold to fix some fundamental flaws in the system, even assuming they have the votes to pull it off. They will try to right the ship so it doesn't sink, and not ruffle too many feathers in the process, and that will be about it. Maybe the party will become more bold when the old guard dies out. I'm the same age as the old guard, so I won't see it, but I have hope in the younger generation of leaders.

[LakeArenal]

6. Ugh. His neck looks like a Brazilian wax.

[Mendocino]

22. Or an Brazillian

tracheostomy.

[Peregrine Took]

7. When oh when is some one going to call out his miserable "looks!"

'So sick of us always on the receiving end of his cruel, personal insults.

As we all know -he is disgusting to look at in every way - about time he is asked to look in the mirror.

[maxsolomon]

15. We left it off the table in 2016.

We don't go low, remember?

Meanwhile, attacking an opponent's masculinity (or femininity) is the GOP's bread and butter. Trump has zero qualms going as low as possible, and then lower.

Why do they do it? IT WORKS.

[demtenjeep]

52. Hunter S Thompson would be writing awesome things

were he here

[smirkymonkey]

16. Seriously, he is in no position to criticize anyone on their looks.

He is the most hideous man on the planet. Is he really that unaware of how fat and ugly he is?

[kairos12]

23. Probably not.

The White House is filled with clowns and funhouse mirrors

[dalton99a]

17. Fuck the high road when dealing with Republicans

[ck4829]

32. As I always say, "When you oppose Republicans, you are already going high"

[SCVDem]

11. He wants to play top military officer.

Then remove him for conduct unbecoming ANYONE who serves our country!

[BKDem]

18. I'd hope that the Rapture would rid us of this ugly little man and his disgusting enablers...

..but I'm told that's not how the Rapture works.

I guess I have to hope for a Reverse Rapture, or maybe a surgically-targeted Plague. I want it to be gooey.

[Liberal In Texas]

19. He struts like Mussolini. n/t

[keithbvadu2]

20. So Presidential.

37. Wasn't Mueller the Attorney General under a repuke president... then he has been senate confirmed

[malaise]

45. Of course

and Don the Con knows that - he lies over and over

[KPN]

26. I pray something really bad happens to this miserable excuse for a human being very soon. I might

have to do the same for his followers as well. They obviously have are now total converts to the tRump's cult of hate.

ps - i couldn't help but notice his tiny little hands, the short stubby fingers in watching the few of those clips I could stomach.

[California_Republic]

27. Is that a white power sign at about 1:38 ?

[Brother Buzz]

33. Yes and no

He does that 'OK' thingy all the time, but THAT one was a deliberate hat tip to the white supremacists, "I got your six".

[Heartstrings]

28. Without echoing his name calling shit....

I have no words except....deplorable!

[underpants]

29. "Pencil necked geek" is an old pro wrestling line

That’s what his rallies are pro-wrestling events.

[marieo1]

30. petty ignoramus

This just shows the world how petty this idiot is!!! Can you imagine any of the other world leaders commenting on someone's shirt size or calling him a pencil neck? He should never have been made our president in the first place. He is an ignoramus!!

[ck4829]

31. K&R

[Mickju]

35. How repulsive

[kimbutgar]

36. So I guess if don't support him I'm unhinged, unAmerican, not patriotic and a traitor?

Last time I looked I paid my taxes, obey laws and believe in the constitution so I am bad!

[Green Line]

38. Such a disgusting creature

[lunasun]

41. 1:30 on Adam S comment tweet . Is that how u get more cheers out of this crowd ??😳

I read all the time he is turning blue and dying soon or so feeble minded or he can not stand or walk right
I dunno looks like a dangerous demagogue to me . Both he and his fans alive and pumped

[alwaysinasnit]

43. He is encouraging the tribal instinct in his lizard-brain supporters and thereby increasing the

likelihood of violence should the upcoming election results go against him.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

46. This should not be allowed while using public funding.

As reprehensible, immoral and repulsive as it may be, what tRump says is protected in America by our Constitution unless it's proven he incites violence and someone takes him to court for doing so. That said.....

What's just as offensive to me is a U.S. president using public tax funds to enable this behavior and to any reasonable person, it would surely be an impeachable offense. If he insists on behaving this way in a public setting and using the bully pulpit for fascist politics, he should pay for his travel and security and reimburse the Treasury for lost work time. That would put a stop to this bullshit.

There also is the issue of tRump violating his oath of office in that he should execute his Constitutional duties on behalf of all Americans, not a select few. In essence what's he's implying is that some 60 to 70 percent of Americans are not worthy of even having a president. On this basis, in a rational world he would be removed from office either by impeachment or execution of the 25th Amendment.

I would like to see provisions in future budgets that prevents politicians from using public funds for travel and security purposes for political campaigns. Just tighten the purse strings until it's impossible to do so, thereby returning our politicians to being true public servants.

I am indeed an idealist and a dreamer.

KY rant done for Friday........
