I thought that was only at the Pentagon. Why else would he be constantly complaining about “fake news” and asking people where they’re from?
Think of how many people would be able to go off, or at least reduce, their mental-health medications!
Oh, you’re correct. Thanks!
I’m fairly certain I’d lose my cool if I was present when he did that. If we’re in the plane, I might even get in his face; I’d gladly take the time in prison for bumping the president - fuck the guy; I’d be a famous martyr for whatever bullshit charges they’d stick on me.
But even at a press conference, it’d be hard to hold back the next time he called somebody stupid or unattractive.
“What the fuck is wrong with you? You’ve never been successful at anything, and now you’re subjecting the entire country to your failing ideas. All you know how to do is point fingers. But you are a walking disaster, and you are ruining this country. Your policies are horrible, your ethics are missing, your administration is corrupt, and you are an overweight geriatric geezer who is destined to be remembered as the worst president of all time, like nobody’s ever seen. Learn some manners, asshole.”
I’m sure he’d yell “Get him out of here”, and I’d be escorted out, never to return.
But I’d do it.
I like to believe I could speak up in a situation like that.
I’ve been known to back folks up when they swam upstream from a bully.
I believe if someone just screamed “shut your rude pie hole!” at a presser, there would be applause and Trump would stand and stare, like he did when the guy fell out cold. With a stupid vacated look on his face.
Bullies always back down. But he’s old and fat, with swollen ankles and you(most anyone) could out run him.
Every accusation…
Expect these outbursts in growing frequency, ever more apoplectic and apocalyptic
Is this something you’ve seen before?
Just wondering if this is a legitimate mental symptom he’s displaying?
He’s carrying more weight than his joints can handle as they age, and as the cartilage deteriorates there’s pain. The blood vessels that carry oxygen to his brain are collecting plaque. His response is anger, which paleo-masculinists like himself equate with determination and vigor.
What makes him dangerous is that he’s assumed the role of the beating heart of the USA. As he falls, so must the USA.
I actually hope we do. I hope we get to a point where Trump starts responding to queries with “Fuck you. Next question.”
I want the Republicans to have to justify it. And I want the decent people of America (presuming the silent majority still exists) to be thoroughly disgusted by it.
There’s a Wonkette columnist who posts this at the end of nearly all his columns – asking that some journalist stand up and ask this.
A great reply would have been “Better a pig than a fascist”, which is a somewhat famous quote from “Porco Rosso”:
It is generally regarded as a nihilistic expression of indifference to whatever happens after one is gone.[3][2][clarification needed] Its meaning was translated in 1898 by E. Cobham Brewer in the forms “When I am dead the deluge may come for aught I care”, and “Ruin, if you like, when we are dead and gone”.[4]
I love “Porco Rosso”
I think I’ll remember that.
In this case, “after me, the nuclear annihilation” is a sadly-real possibility.
This has to be front and center. As many have noticed, Donald is likely to get more belligerent, not less, as time goes by. Never “presidential,” he will continue to break norms in ways that many Americans find to be horrifying.
Make his Republican apologists work. Make them defend the ugliness, publicly. Tie it to them with ropes of steel.

Yeah, I couldn’t remember how to spell it and was too lazy to google!
It’s the sex pest calling the kettle fat (or something like that)
I’m tryna like your post @Andy_L I’m not sure I can figure that out.
Lemme read it 6 times…bbs
