I didn't listen to Trump at his campaign rally for the Pennsylvania Congressman, but what I...

have heard in the clips from it. How disgusting & disturbing! It was like hearing a man who is scared and is willing to do anything to get even with those who are finding evidence of wrongdoing! I hope we have someone who will stand up and stop this fool and soon! Mueller can only do so much and then it lies in the GOP's hand, which maybe have a blind eyed to do anything?

Their bloodthirsty applause for the wild and insane things he was letting loose....executing drug dealers?....STILL chanting "lock her up?" like some sort of sad 70's revival concert featuring 2/5ths of Styx performing alongside 3 of the 4 founding members of Foreigner?....arming teachers? lying about the economy? the elections results?

It made me sick to see that there are so many people STILL accepting of him or rather RAVENOUSLY in love with what he represents to them....a raised middle finger to everyone because doing so blames EVERYONE ELSE for their lot in life and that makes them feel better instead of having to do anything or sacrifice anything, they blame, they scapegoat, they clap, they cheer, they imbibe the idiocy and get drunk on it just as the Shit Gibbon gets drunk on their applause...

The whole thing is a Nuremberg rally for the 21st century and as Trump devolves into a more and more sadistic fool, playing Mussolini to Putin's Hitler (blaming Jews for the Russian election meddling? nah, that's not completely ominous or anything....) the spectacle of this neutered vulgarian acting like the presidency is a two bit hustle, its becoming sadly apparent to the entire world.

The United States is in steep, if not precipitous decline...we are on the precipice of becoming Russia, circa 1992-1996...a free-for-all of theft, power consolidation and authoritarian rule. The best we can hope for is that Trump's disdain for healthy living catches up to him and his heart explodes in a coronary event long, long overdue.

from reports of it is that he was more obnoxious than ever, which suggests that he's panicking - and the only thing he knows how to do is get louder and nastier. That kind of stress is never good for a person's health....

that Fox viewers and people like Trump seem to live such a massively unhealthy level of emotional stress due to being loud and angry all of the time yet seem to live longer lives than healthier and seemingly less stressed out people. I.don't.get. it.

It just seems that way because they aren't dying off fast enough.

Of particular alarm was the crowd reaction swinging from ecstatic support to some with stone cold stares. I watched the entire tirade and found it horrifying.

They are all puppets of "The Koch Brothers Machine" that coordinates and/or controls all arms of the GOP including the NRA, ALEC, Religous Right, Heritage foundation,Hate radio,wealthy-conservative foundations,The Heartland Institute (and many other Think Tanks)
Equally disturbing is the influence "The Koch Brothers Machine" has over Conservative Supreme Court Justices.
