1. Who the hell likes bullies?

Besides bullies, who are cowards. Real humans try to outgrow their bullying stage, if they can. We humans need to figure out a way to cooperate to achieve together what we want.

I would wager most bullies, who think that is the way to behave as an adult are on a criminal track. Also see Trump. We might have children to raise, most of us don’t want them to be bullies as adults.

7. Assholes do.

and there are unfortunately plenty of assholes to go around, well more than one per person.

9. Just sadistic psychopaths

2. Yes, IF NYC and DC were remotely typical of the rest of the country.

3. Well, as has been pointed out by some pundits, the National's tickets were so expensive that crowd

was largely well-to-do, out of towners or more wealthy Maryland and Virginia residents. A crowd that Trump typically appeals to. Ditto the UFC fight crowd. In fact, that appears to be why Trump's "handlers" thought it would be "safe" for Trump to go after his Nationals game embarrassment.

11. If you're hoping Alabama turns on Trump, they almost elected a child molester to the Senate.

It's not going to happen. Be happy that left-leaning and middling cultures understand this man's corruptions.

12. I'm saying it is not only hard core progressives that are expressing their discomfort. Indies who

voted for him are increasingly supporting impeachment/removal in all regions. That doesn't mean they will surpass the sycophantic cult in states like AL, but we don't need it to in every state. Critical mass reached will have SOME impact on the Senators in nearly every state. Even with Nixon, approximately 25% never turned against him (and probably still haven't). Ultimately, that small minority against the wave after wave of devastating evidence didn't matter THEN and hopefully a similar trajectory will render the Trump cult irrelevent.

19. True. Dems are fighting 30 years of a brainwashed electorate thanks to repeal of Fairness Doctrine

and the incredible stupidity of those who listen to the AM radio/ Fox News crap.

[Mr.Bill]

16. Correct.

Most of the people in that stadium probably got a tax cut from Trump.

4. UFC . . . , ah, may be a bit less, genteel, than World Series crowd

[Like to think that UFC worried trump. trump may have thought that crowd would offset World Series].

8. This was a UFC card -- many fighters and fans are VERY RW

Including many Brazilian fighters of color for some reason. Most MMA journalists are liberal, as are many hardcore fans, including me. I know quite a few folks in the sport, and won't say more for personal reasons.

This should have been a majority pro-Trump crowd. It wasn't.

Folks I know who attended and fought there told me it was WAY worse/loud in person than it was on TV.

[whathehell]

15. Oh please...Polls say most of the country wants him impeached & removed.

[elleng]

21. 'Oh please,'

let's see what 'most of the country' says, when things move closer.

[whathehell]

24. Yes, "please"

The knee jerk pessimism gets old.

[badseedboy]

5. beautifully stated

and I feel this to be true, and I am thankful.

6. Gaslit Nation podcast covered this, and I can't recommend

this week's episode any more highly. It gave me hope. The name of the episode is, Lock him up, because he's an actual criminal. They also go into how Putin lives in his own reality, fascinating ep.

[Traildogbob]

13. His people?

Until Russia starts booing him, nothing matters. THEY will elect him again and the treasonous GOP/Fucks Noise zombies will assist every step of the way. Just way too many stupid AmurKKKans in this shit hole country. Really, really stupid people. An aggressively reproducing cancerous invasion of stupid. God is soooo proud.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. Well said. This is what happens when education deteriorates and propoganda takes hold. FU Rush.

The most un-American assholes we have are on AM hate radio and Fox News. Also a boatload on the internet. It's a tough fight to win, because as you point out, they are in lockstep with a dictator-wanna-be. Boy, does he want it...bad.

[hlthe2b]

25. I listened to it on your recommendation. It was a good episode & boy did they go after Mornning Joe

That was rather cathartic. LOL

[coti]

10. Absolutely. And our media remains strong, too- the truth is still out there, and

is more widely accepted than the lies. Though the governmental gears of our democracy are being viciously attacked, its public, cultural foundations are still kicking hard.

[Prof.Higgins]

14. White House correspondents still normalize Trump by ignoring his lies and all the negative

responses to him such as the WS and MMA booings.

WH correspondents never use the word Trump. He's always just called THE President. They even gave bulldust slinger Huckabee-Sanders the honor of a farewell dinner in order to toady with Trump and his senior advisors. NBC's Acosta has been the only one willing to challenge Trump and his staffers, so they attempted to boot him from the press corps.

17. I like the reference to Ceausescu.

I am still holding out hope that he and his family will encounter a similar fate.

22. It depressed me. That we have to compare ourselves to Ceausecu shows how far we have fallen.

I get angry when people compare Trump to Hitler as it diminishes the holocaust.

"Trump is nothing like Hitler",I shout. After a suitable silence I say "He is however doing an excellent job of channelling Mussolini".

Yes thank goodness we haven't reached the 14th level of he'll known as Ceaucescu, who also was known for separating children from their parents and who also went into the changing rooms of adolescent female competitors, gymnasts not beauty.

[smirkymonkey]

23. It's kind of sad, but I can see him crying and whimpering like the little coward he is

When he realizes that even his own military has turned on him. The one he claims to own.
