When you realize that he's not "right in the head", in addition to being a morally bad person, it's all he can be.

History is not going to be kind to this creep.

when he says "the socialists from the lying Democrat Party stole votes and rigged the election, therefore, I am voiding this election and remaining in office so that over the next 4 years we can fix this rigid voting system so these problems don't occur again. Secretary of State Rush Limbaugh will fill you in with the details.

7. "massive amounts of birth control pills"...

My lord, what an ignorant statement (all of his statements are ignorant). I guess taking more pills works better than the way they're prescribed to be taken??? "Here honey, take about ten at a time so you'll be protected from all those rapists."

This guy is looney tunes. Someone really needs to have him evaluated and put away. Oh, and do the same for the people in the room who applaud this sort of nonsense.

I went to Ohio for a funeral. My cousin's wife knows I am from CA. Out of the blue she asks me if I am for the border wall.

They don't even have the ability to use critical thinking when listening to right wing bull shit.

They can't even conceive of the fact that they're being lied to.

There is no bar low enough.
There is no low road low enough.
There is no swamp/sewer filthy enough.
There is no lowest common denominator low enough.
He is an unending, all-engulfing black hole of vileness.

mumbling incoherently, Juggling his testicles and his minions and a significant number of Republican Congress critters would find a way to make it normal— okay. It DOES NOT matter what he says or does. They will excuse it or make it okay.

We are beyond screwed until this sh*t stops. tRump won’t stop himself. That will be up to the people with power and authority to do it. We are part of the way there with Democrats controlling the House. But until the Republicans stop enabling him to remain in office, our hands are tied. I just hope that Mueller’s Report and Congressional investigations have overwhelming evidence that can’t be dismissed.

13. You are aware that these statements are - at their heart - true, right?

Yes, he is using them for political gain, and doing so is vile.

But so is denying the reality of the gender-based violence that the majority of women migrating from Central America experience on their jorney - and the nightmare that these women feel they have to take birth control prior to the start of the journey to avoid the physical consequences of what they view as inevitable: rape on the journey north.

In addition to the risks of extortion, kidnapping, and violence that migrants face, migrant women are also vulnerable to sexual and gender-based violence, including rape and sexual assault. Women experience sexual violence and forced disappearances often near the border. According to Amnesty International, 60% of migrant women and girls are raped while migrating, while other data indicate that 80% of women experience rape and sexual assault during the migration process.

Given the frequency of sexual and gender-based violence, many migrant women take contraceptives before migrating to avoid the risk of pregnancy from rape by armed criminal groups, locals, or their smugglers.

Health professionals report that as many as six in ten migrant women and girls are raped on the journey. And activists repeatedly raise concerns that abducted women and girls are vulnerable to trafficking.

Not to fear them.

I'm just concerned that the reaction in the threads has been to riducule Trump as if he's making up the substance, and he's not. The substance (high rate of rape and sexual assault + women taking birth control to prevent getting pregnant as aresut of rape) is true - and even worse than the statistics he's reciting.
