The real reason Trump came to El Paso today.

[Scruffy1]

The only reason he came here was to prove he can get away with it. Only people wearing Trump supporting gear were allowed close to the hospital grounds and all he did was brag about himself. This was just a huge fuck you to all of El Paso since he knows he can't get votes here. I can imagine the smirk on his face as he shit on us and took off. This is what his dumbass supporters really want to see. No constraint or manners just 100% pendejo. He has blood on his hands and knows he will get away with it. Like he said bout shooting someone on fifth avenue and getting away with it. One thing I have learned in 70 years is that when a fascist says something it is not a joke. If he is not impached soon the Democratic Party will be seen as weak tea and enthusiasm will dwindle.

1. The film footage will likely show up in one of his campaign ads.

He went because it was a photo op.

[PandoraAwakened]

15. Campaign video of Dayton visit posted online even before he got back to D.C.

Creepy though...mostly shows the Squatter-in-Chief hanging out with nearly all white hospital personnel (in a city that is 40% black) with a smattering of first responders and policemen thrown in. They're all doing...I don't even know what you call that...whooping it up, interspersed with giddily standing in line for a turn at touching the Orange Turd, further intercut with supposed nurses posing with him smiling, laughing, and celebrating who knows what---that the hospital enjoyed a spike in business??!! Yay, thumbs up! Very, very, very, very bizarre.

16. Par for the course with the Volga Vulgarian.

The asshole.

[Aussie105]

17. Funny that

From the propaganda photos, I'd have sworn that city was 100% white and 100% in love with Trump.

Great photo op though. Just choose the right actors.

Trump to patient: Wasn't too bad then, was it? You only got wounded, and it gave you a chance to see me in person. That makes you a MAGA winner kid!

Sure. Survivors survive, and dead people don't complain. So all good, right?

So what town is next on the Trump photo op/propaganda trail?

Shooter chooses!

Next shooting: in 10 . . . 9 . . . . 8 . . . 7 . . . .

2. He wanted to twist the knife.

[FakeNoose]

3. Of course it was - he held a Chump rally and got free TV coverage

Didn't we all know that was his only reason?

[keithbvadu2]

4. Win/win for Trump. He gets his message to his sycophants and also pretends to have sympathy for vic

Win/win for Trump. He gets his message to his sycophants and also pretends to have sympathy for victims.

5. What about the rest of Texas?

I worry that low-information voters in Ohio and Texas will think, oh, how nice that he came and visited.

I was appalled that in El Paso, speaking to the police that he didn't pay for at his last rally there, he mentioned how great that rally was... you know, one of the rallies where he encouraged haters to think of Hispanics as 'invaders', haters like the one who killed 22 people in El Paso.

He is depraved.

6. Same reason as the teleprompter speech,

it's about appeasing the conscience of the white moderate, so they can vote Repub without feeling like a racist.

The Repub soccer mom/dad can now point to the TV and say 'see, Mr. Trump really is a good man, so there...'

[Ligyron]

7. Right.

If the Dems don't actually draw up impeachment charges since they say they're doing the "inquiry " part right now - we're done for.

[BigmanPigman]

8. Lawrence O'Donnell refused to show it on his MSNBC show tonight

since he said that it was made for one purpose...a campaign stop to use in his reelection ads. That is exactly what they are using it for right this minute.

[fierywoman]

9. Personally I'd call him a pinche pendejo cabron. But that's just me.

[Wawannabe]

13. Amen

What she said!

Lol!

[tclambert]

20. How 'bout pene pequeno ?

pene pequeño

Why won't the title line accept my ñ ?

[fierywoman]

21. Mmmm...I spent 4 very happy years in Mexico City. How about

pene pequenitito?

[tclambert]

22. Yes, that will do nicely.

You think any of his staff will dare translate it for him?

[calimary]

23. ROFL!!!

[ConnorMarc]

10. Basically...

[EndGOPPropaganda]

11. Yes! Dems need to fight him. Make him look weak!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. Absolutely. Did Nancy miss the window? It's been

a certain rollercoaster. Dems were 80% for Impeachment last December. It's been a steady decline since then through the report release April 3rd...

Now, it's like we have to start all over again? Building support...So, does that mean Dems weren't impressed enough by the crimes in the Mueller report? Because we issued no immediate outrage and unilateral statement that he had committed impeachable offenses? Or have part of the 80% been played? Everyone knows when there is no reaction to an action (i.e. the report)..people think (which hadn't read 400+ pages) that there must have been nothing there?

Jeez..what came first? Inaction or true waning support?

[bitterross]

14. If someone posted about a need for an Oswald would they get banned?

Asking for a friend.

[Aussie105]

18. Yeah!

Same friend has been tempted to use the phrase 'terminate with maximum prejudice' a few times, but I have suggested he cools his anger and wait for a more legal solution to the current rat infestation.

But some sort of solution to the rat problem is long overdue. They are getting bolder by the day.

19. pendejo
