chum in the water to a Value Voters crowd about the extremely pressing issue of saying "Merry Christmas" instead of settling for those other non-Christian holiday greetings like "Happy Holidays".

The tactic worked with the NFL/anthem thing. He first tried that out at a rally when the hurricane had just hit PR and it became a big, national, cultural divide issue.

Now he's trying the "Merry Christmas" gambit while the fires are burning up northern California, which he hasn't even mentioned.

Puerto Rico and V.I. are still in dire shape and now he's trying to see what's the next piece of red meat that will work to rile up his base.

What an evil, demagogic, heartless bastard. He purposely is spreading chaos, hoping it spreads into fascism with him as strongman.

Come on, Mueller. Do your job.

1. Good Point

Christmas in October is pushing the envelope, so why didn't he go after witches for Halloween instead? Perhaps he got the holiday seasons mixed up. In Trump's little snot-nosed rich-kid world, anything goes. He must stay up late at night, sitting on his gold plated toilet, thinking these things up. He has shit for brains because only crap comes out of his mouth.

2. Anything to keep from talking about the 4 Green Berets who were killed in Niger.

Say their names, Donald. Why did the group have to be rescued by the French? Why was the one whose body was recovered on a later day left behind.....and was he still alive when left behind? Are you going to answer some basic questions or do we need a Benghazi-style investigation?

3. Just crickets from trump, just like the failed Yemen raid he approved. The press...

hardly mentioned that either. Let's see if there is more mention of this ambush in Niger because you know if trump doesn't even mention fires in California he certainly won't talk about Niger.

And he'd probably pronounce the name with two "g"s anyway.

5. Wow - is he* still ignoring the deaths of our US Green Berets?

What's up with that? Disgusting. Is he so ashamed of his republican Draft Dodging history that he is incapable of showing actual respect to people who died in service to America? Sad beyond reckoning.

18. Why are republicans snubbing America's dead soldiers?

What the hell is wrong with republicans, and their freaking honor-empty republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

This is another outrage against the honor of our troops.

[Achilleaze]

4. If republicans are cranking up their diversionary & divisionary fake War on Christmas

led by Comrade Casino, their ignoble Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, then they will undoubtedly want to resurrect another of their deceitful, chickenhawk, draft-dodging, mysogynist, predator, Chum-in-Water wanker-warriors: Billy O'Reilly.

6. All he cares about is his base...

The rest of the country in his mind can go to hell. He wants his Fox viewers, the Limbaugh listeners, the KKK, and Neo nazis. His base is all about hate...and he will stir up as much hate as he can.

He is basically an Asshole.

[brush]

9. Exactly, yuiyoshida. BTW, how is it in the Bay Area now? Are you guys getting smoke in the city?

[yuiyoshida]

17. Its a nice day so far, high skies again

and rather warm... Its our October summer weather, and won't get cold or rainy till November.

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

7. So is Bannon still whispering in his ear?

... despite the publicized rejection of him (both ways according to both of them).

[brush]

8. That's a hard one to figure, what with Bannon seeming to have gone rogue with the Alabama/...

Judge Moore campaign v trump's candidate.

I don't know.

Just hope Bannon keeps on dividing the repugs so we can win.

10. Yes, I've noticed the lack of Christmas

in this country. No signs of the holiday any where. When I was a kid, directly after Thanksgiving, shops would start selling Christmas items. Some stores had an entire isle dedicated to the season. But now, nothing. Not a scrap of a reminder of the old Yule celebration that we all used to hold so dear. Obviously the liberals have finally done it... they've made Christmas disappear.

(Do I really need to add it?)

[maddiemom]

14. LOL

I used to work part-time in retail. Christmas stuff started coming in late in the summer; Halloween items, shortly after the Fourth.

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. I saw a Christmas commercial yesterday on TV.

[0rganism]

19. yes you need to add it

one lttle tag can save an inordinate amount of misunderstandings

[tavernier]

21. For the benefit of our republican visitors?

Screw them.

I'll wager most Dems don't need to have an obvious joke tagged or explained.

[0rganism]

22. or new visitors in general, or perhaps the elderly, or those unused to "internet wit" such as it is

do you think #15 got the sarcasm? maybe, maybe not
imo, it's like using a condom -- protects yourself and those close to your posts, i'll let you flesh out the rest of that analogy for yourself if you like.

[raccoon]

11. You have a way with words. Nt

[brush]

23. Why thank you.

[smirkymonkey]

12. By now, everyone knows all about his stupid little tricks.

Why doesn't someone challenge him on this in the media and neutralize him? It only works because the controversy fuels ratings. Is there anyone in this country with any power who can stand up to this idiot? I guarantee they would be a hero to a majority of the population.

[Docreed2003]

13. Christmas is so hated in this Country

That I saw Xmas decorations in on store in August, right as they cleared out the Summer stuff and were rolling out Halloween decorations

[MiniMe]

16. Say Merry Christmas, by the way, your grandkids are Jewish

[spanone]

20. he will say anything to any group to get applause....that's his crave
