a lot of folks have gone off the deep...no one around here I'm sure
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
This is pretty scary. And not the first member of that milleu to flip out and kill a family member...or someone else. It’s not really hard to understand why, either...volatile, disaffected people marinating in hateful, dehumanizing rhetoric and living in a world where conspiracy theories are reality.

I'm not a mental health professional but I've always thought fondness for conspiracy theories and extremist ideologies were indicators that something was not quite right
interesting how preying on those weaknesses has become a big business with some purveyors doing very well financially...the market is efficient if nothing else

"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
defenders
enablers
bought off greed heads
rationalizers
"what about Hillary" ers
"thought and prayer " phonies
and
a handful that still hold to the notion of WMD in Iraq
all of this has been in plain sight since before the election

The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
the part i really don't get is why anyone would defend him...even if you agree with much of his agenda (and I think reasonable people can do so) why want that agenda in the hands of someone so clueless and without scruples...in the end association with Trump is going to discredit some good people and maybe even some good ideas

This is a very good point and it'll probably be the death of us as a nation some day. Politics is about winning and winning at any/all costs. It's not just about winning for yourself and "your party or your candidate" but it's about making sure THEY don't win, in fact letting the whole country fall into the abyss is still better than letting THEM win. I agree with Trump on a few things, absolutely hate what he's said and done on a lot of things, but how anyone whose been paying attention at all can't see what this guy really is. Maybe it's because he's so blatant and over the top about it. I don't get it, even though you might not want Hilldog to be president, even if you still don't want Hilldog to be president it shouldn't make you not able to see what an asshat this guy is. Why can't we all just get out of Ann Coulter hell and see that you don't have to be a conservative or a liberal all the time, maybe you could try just being an American once in a while.

that's my take...the republican party had a dozen acceptable alternatives running...none perfect but all vastly superior to the guy they settled on...i would have voted for pretty much all of them over Hillary...but Trump is a bridge too far...way way too far
I'm happy with him choosing Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court...i'm sure I would have been less happy with Hillary's choice...but there is something much bigger than Supreme Court justices at stake here...a lot bigger

Stormy Daniels bodycam of arrest released. Now this whoke situation reeks of politically motivated abuse of power. I doubt this goes to Trump but either someone directed those cops to do this or those cops got together and conspired to arrest and charge a political opponet of the president using an obscure law that they did not enforce anytime else. Either way it warrants investigation. Now I will say the officers I saw handled things pretty good. I would commend them for deescalating the situation. The bodyguards have a job to do and this reeked pf a setup. If cops are going to do arrests of people like this they need to vouch for the prisoners saftey with their own life. If Stormy gets shanked in a holding cell I dont want to hear any excuses.

"A male US officer falsely told a 10-year-old she could see her mother for an hour at 6:00p. The child was held in a windowless, constantly lit facility where she couldn’t determine the time of day. When she asked the officer for the time, he said he wasn’t permitted to tell her."
this is torture. the trump admin is torturing children.

I hope that story isn't true. She said she didn't cry on the first day but did on the second and third day, but later she says she never knew what time it was. Between a traumatized child's perspective and translation there is plenty to explain the gap in logic. I have a child about that age. I really hope it isn't true.

let me make a prediction. Trumps policies and focus on ms-13 will cause it to grow exponentially but the effects wont be fully seen until he is out of office. Then when MS-13 actually becomes the biggest street gang Trump will blame everyone else and act as if his policies were the only thing keeping them at bay.

"Character matters to the presidency and Donald Trump will bring the highest level of integrity to the highest office in the land. You can count on it."
- Mike Pence, September 2016
if character truly mattered to the presidency for pence then he could not say this with a straight face. all the things parents teach their children to be growing up, all the value they try to instill, trump is the polar opposite of literally all of them. except the "being white" part.
