Which Trump scandal disgusts you the most?

[Quixote1818]

Have to go with caging children and for some reason abandoning the Kurds and leaving a great ally to death, torture and destruction for HIS fucking monetary benefit really shook me. He is a fucking murderer to protect his fucking money! I don't have the energy think of all of them tonight but those two are seared into my brain and pretty horrific.

[meadowlander]

1. Trying to send kids with life threatening illnesses back to their home countries to die.

Also withholding disaster relief aid to blue states.

[LakeArenal]

2. Children torture. Missing separated children.

Parental torture. Children they came here to save taken and never returned.

Surpassing all other shit from the Republicans, as they are all complicit.

[crickets]

10. All of them, but especially

anything and everything he has ever done to harm a child.

If I believed in hell, there would be a special place in it for him just for his crimes against children.

[Peace06]

23. Couldnt agree more!

[Turbineguy]

3. The next one.

Or maybe the one thereafter.

There are still more conversations locked up in the secret server.

[Marie Marie]

4. All of them. Every single one.

[Celerity]

15. [phone]

[sakabatou]

43. Agreed

[pat_k]

5. ... and gutting the entire executive branch

The specific actions that are well-known are appalling, but the longest lasting damage we will suffer as a nation is the complete gutting of the executive branch.

Passing laws is meaningless when executive agencies have been rendered too dysfunctional to implement or enforce them.

The damage he has done will take a monumental effort to undo.

[BigmanPigman]

6. I need to see a list since there are so many

I am sure I have forgotten a lot of them.

[Volaris]

7. Agreed, it's those 2.

He can scam the presidency for all the money he wants, but torturing children and fucking over the most democratic progressive ally we had in the middle east is not acceptable.

Remember that whole 'spreading democracy in the middle east' bullshit that BushCo peddled to us in order to invade Iraq?

The Kurds WERE FUCKING DOING IT. And Trump stabbed them in the back and left them to genocide at the hands OF A NATO STATE. Let that really sink in.

And if this Constitutional Lobotomy of a presidency isn't handled appropriately by Congress, imma finish my college degree and get the hell out of here. I'll go to Toronto n work for minimum wage (at this point, I'm fucking used to it...)

[RockRaven]

8. Sexually assaulting sex-trafficked underaged girls alongside Jeffrey Epstein and The Dersh

***ALLEGEDLY***


Also giving Kushner a security clearance -- in defiance of the professionals' recommendation not to -- so Kushner could use this newly accessed US Intel work product for personal benefit by disclosing it to MBS to bribe the Saudi crown prince into blockading Qatar to force Qatar to, through their sovereign wealth investments, bail out one of Kushner's fucking stupid real estate moves in NYC to the tune of a billion dollars or whatever. Literally selling US national security secrets for personal profit, even if one step removed.

[ooky]

9. I always thought nothing could be worse than taking small children from their mothers

and caging them, and then he topped it with a policy of sending sick people to their deaths. That's followed by abandoning the Kurds to be slaughtered. I'd also be willing to bet he played a key role in the murder of Khashoggi.

[Eugene]

11. It's a difficult choice, but it's the Ukraine scandal by a nose.

The Ukraine conspiracy is a fundamental betrayal of every principle America stands for as well as an attempt to subvert democracy and the rule of law in both Ukraine and the United States. This is also proof positive that, if Putin doesn't have a pee-pee tape, then Trump at least see the world through Putin's eyes.

Trump's malign treatment of Puerto Rico, and California to a lesser extent show an evil, cruel and fact-impervious hatred of fellow Americans that is downright scary.

Kids in cages? Point taken. Trump's treatment of migrants checks off many of the boxes of a potential genocide.

Betrayal of the Kurds? Subjecting a proven ally to ethic cleansing with the added benefit of putting America's interests, credibility and world standing to the torch? That's a high crime too, but the Ukraine scandal tried to bring this corruption onto American soil. That puts it over the top for me.

[Quixote1818]

13. I really like the way you articulated all this. nt

[Demovictory9]

16. Khashoggi also. the casual cruel disregard for an American life

[Eugene]

30. All of this is part of running the U.S. like the Mafia.

...although the Mafia pretends, at least, to have a sense of honor.

Erdoğan allegedly has the goods on Jared for green-lighting Khashoggi's murder. And now he becomes a trusted partner in the Middle East. One corrupt transaction leads to another.

[democratisphere]

12. drumpf's very existence is disgusting.

[KentuckyWoman]

14. Getting " elected ".

The media jumped on the Moscow Express in ... what.... 2014... to help legitimize a Russian Mob boss as the Dear Leader. Everything after that is guaranteed to be a clusterf*ck.

[NCLefty]

17. It's his overall undermining of things and people that are GOOD, and trashing them so much that

tens of millions of American idiots start to think they're bad or corrupt. And it's all done to cover for Trump's own corruption and misdeeds.

2020 can't get here fast enough.

[Garrett78]

18. Foreign interference, without which there never would have been a Trump presidency.

[unblock]

19. The biggest scandal is that republicans *still* support and protect him

[vsrazdem]

20. Everything about him disgusts me. It's too stressful trying to figure which is worst.

[lunatica]

21. Mine are the same as yours

There are a lot of things that can conceivably be reversed or rectified, but anything that causes death to innocent people is not one of them. So it truly sickens me when people must suffer and die to boost his ego.

[Midnight Writer]

22. Betraying the Kurds? Green light to Russia in Syria? Slaughter in Yemen? Kushner in Saudi Arabia?

Sex criminal? Sold out his own country? Normalized thuggery?

And on and on.

How can I pick just one?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. I can't even think of the worst, because they all blend together in his hideousness.

PLEASE realize that all of this comes from the "status quo" of this country, which is totalitarian at the CORE of how most of us survive... in the corporate world which will destroy us if constant "growth" is our main directive.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

25. His existence as a non-humanity, pro-self entity. n/t

[dewsgirl]

26. Add Khasshogi to the list.

[Funtatlaguy]

27. Mocking the disabled reporter should have ended his candidacy.

[RobinA]

34. Just Exactly This

That a low caliber playground bully like him could get elected in the United States. He's not even a sophisticated bully doing his dirty work under most people's radar. Nope, he'd walk right up to a little kid and push him off the swings face down in the mud if he thought he'd get points from someone (mainly himself) for it.

[tblue37]

28. Separating families and caging children. nt

[Baked Potato]

29. Making money off the position

#2 Dividing Americans

[Mike 03]

31. There are so many appalling things

My picks have been mentioned, but I also think about the rollback in clean air and water, allowing plants to dump fine and deadly particulate into the air that was previously banned.

This morning a woman will have a miscarriage and not know why. Children will suffer the first attack of asthma. Some young man or women with no signs of cardiovascular disease will suffer a stroke or heart attack while jogging because of particulate that wouldn't have been allowed in the air under prior administrations. A baby will be born near a row of oil refineries in Texas of extremely low birth weight or possibly other challenges. Fine particulate will land in the lungs of people that in ten, twenty years will be diagnosed as cancer. Nobody will know for sure what caused these things, and nobody could ever prove it.

That's not my pick for most disgusting scandal, but just thought it deserved to be mentioned.

[Doitnow]

54. Babies who have been caged will become future terrorists.

[zentrum]

32. Get it done Dems!

[sarge43]

33. The children n/t

[yellowdogintexas]

35. the entire fiasco on the southern border

and the Kurds.

I have a soft spot for the Kurds anyway since our daughter married into a Kurdish family

[benld74]

36. 2016 Election - Caused everything after nt

[demigoddess]

37. abandoning the Kurds and inviting genocide.

all his crimes occurred because of his stupidity.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

38. Domestically

it would have to be his immigration policies and everything associated with it- between the caging of kids in sub-par conditions, as well as his phony declaration of a national emergency to seize funds intended for other things for his stupid "wall"

Globally- It would have to be his abandonment of the Kurds and our agreements in general, as well as alienating all of our major global allies.

In short, there is no good governance coming from this WH and the fact that the American economy is doing ok is more IN SPITE OF Trump rather than BECAUSE of it IMHO. There's really nothing that is happening in Trump's WH that has been even remotely good for the country- except for the racists and other bigots here. They're being put back on the pedestal they were "losing" under President Obama.

[uponit7771]

39. The children cause it's Article II Genocide

[TeamPooka]

40. He thinks Nazi's are very fine people so nothing else he can do will ever shock me.

[Mersky]

41. Children in cages. Family separation. It's the needless cruelty.

Instead of policies that get at the root cause of folks so desperate to come to the this country and ways to ameliorate such, he uses their misery for show, exacerbates the problem, all the while pretending that they are at fault for economic weaknesses that are actually caused by automation, income inequality caused by stubborn effects of trickle down bs, etc. Pushes racism and cruelty as simple answers to complicated problems while the underlying economic factors plod ahead, unaddressed. For what? One more yacht for a crony donor?

The damage he's exacted upon the children and families is a source of heartache that I'll carry for the rest of my life. How to make things right, or somehow better for his victims is always running in my mind.

Then, on top of all that is flaunting of spoiled privilege as he ignores numerous laws built up over likely millions of manhours of work over the many decades. Laws mean nothing to him, as he puts a tiki torch to the value of good governance. He is so wasteful of time, effort, and lives of the people who actually do the work to make the world around him work. On this point, I must mention the Kurds. His betrayal of them burns white hot in my chest.

I should probably lead with us losing time and ground for combating climate change, but that's connected to everything I've already mentioned. Imo, we can't, as a society, take on a difficult future if we can't respect the lives of all the people around us who can help everyone thrive. We've never had more answers to human problems than right now, and shame on the republicon party for choosing to withhold this truth for the benefit of the relative few that would benefit from their arcane cruelty and waste.

[bdamomma]

42. all of them

he is vile vile man who only cares about himself. He will meet his fate and it won't be pretty.

[Leith]

44. Like bdamomma said, ALL of them

They are all disgusting, monstrous, exasperating, frightening, enraging, and just plain sad in their own way. Every day, sometimes several times a day, we get a new outrage shoved in our faces while rethugs giggle in delight.

I changed my mind - give me the blue pill. Ya basta!

[Nitram]

45. Trump's many attempts to circumvent or ignored constitutional restraints on the executive

are what disgust me the most. Every time he gets away with it, it weakens our democracy and sets dangerous precedents for future presidents.

[Karadeniz]

46. Ruining children's psyches and health. But, what disgusts us isn't necessarily his scandals

as the inherent stupidity, mental illness and void of character which is what is embodied in his actions. Without the boiling vat of toxins which is his mind, he wouldn't have betrayed the Kurds, allowed khashoggi to go to Istanbul, be condoning arms to Yemen, planned on letting Arabia have nuclear technology, and constructed a govt full of vacancies and unqualified officials who owe him loyalty for a salary they don't deserve..

[onethatcares]

47. grabbing the election by way of

the electoral college.

almost as much, no more than the brooks brothers riot in 2000

[TomSlick]

48. Too many from which to choose.

Perhaps that is the real answer. My disgust results from the endless torrent of scandals, abuse of office, and simple failure to be a decent human being.

[NurseJackie]

49. Any that involve children.

[jb5150]

50. Putting chldren in cages is second from the top on my list ..

First would be his claiming that he helped out at ground zero.

[wryter2000]

51. Children in cages

Nothing else is close

[Thomas Hurt]

52. At this point...his mere existence.

Even if they impeach and Senate shocks us all and removes him. This whack job is going to get on the speaking circuit and keep doing his touch myself rallies pushing his fascist agenda.

[calguy]

53. Can't decide. They're all tied for first.

[yardwork]

55. Caging children and abandoning the Kurds.

[TrishaJ]

56. Separating children from parents and

then locking them in cages; and in some cases, letting them die. This story should NEVER disappear from our consciousness. This is a terrible stain on us a nation. This should not go unpunished.

[RainCaster]

57. "Grab 'em by the pussy" if we had taken that one seriously, Hillary would be in the WH

[Simonious]

58. Disgusted

Children in cages. Abandoning the Kurds. Mocking the disabled. Bragging about sexual assault. I can’t say which disgusts me more. They all disgust me. BUT.. Watching him stand on the world stage in Helsinki and take the side of Vlad over the United States intelligence agencies, his government intelligence agencies....I have never seen a weaker man in my life.

[SergeStorms]

59. The day Fred Trump's....

condom broke and that despicable piece of human garbage, Donald J. Trump, was conceived. Everything since that moment has been a litany of the worst possible events a human being could possibly imagine.

[flying_wahini]

60. The murder of Khashoggi. I just know Trump had his hands all over that.

And the children, and all the others suffering under his heel.

[MatthewG.]

61. Off the top of my head...

Off the top of my head, I’d say the most disgusting scandal with Trump is that he got elected to the Presidency at all. Zero experience, a record of sleaze a mile long (in a sane world, Trump’s mob ties alone would disqualify him from consideration for any political office), not to mention a loathsome personality all morally decent people find repulsive. It’s a major indictment of the United States, and possibly of democracy itself, that he ever got traction in the primary, let alone that he won.

[Vinca]

62. Separating children from their parents with no way to reunite them.

Sometimes I wonder if they're running the Trump Adoption Service under the table.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

63. While all these things are nauseating,

No one has mentioned his giving bigots the green light to ramp up their hatreds.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

64. Kidnapping and caging childern and infants.

Infants, for chrissake!

Most of these children will never see their parents again.

This is a crime against humanity -- and Trump will never be held accountable for it

[VOX]

65. His birth.

That's when the trouble began.

[Smith Jack]

66. Now the GOP and the trumpTROLLS are going to spread lies about Vindman

The trump/Putin/Klan trolls and the GOP are going to try and smear LTC Vindman

...by using the story from a LTC Hickman who said Vindman talked to Russian
Officers and said disrespectful things about America----

Well HICKMAN is a QAnon conspiracy FREAK!
A review of Hickman's past tweets found more than 100 in which he recirculated or commented on QAnon-related theories, including hoaxes about Satanism and paedophilia, and until recently he had the hashtag #Q in his profile.



https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-impeachment-alexander-vindman-testimony-ukraine-call-conspiracy-a9192131.html

[Dopers_Greed]

67. His scandals win in multiple categories

Most brazen = Trying to have G7 at one of his properties
Most sickening = Betraying the Kurds, who fought and died with American soldiers, to benefit his family business
Stupidest = Strong-arming Ukraine to initiate investigations based on RW talking points
Most petty = Refusing to admit that he made a typo on Twitter and even getting his aides to help spin it ("Covfefe&quot )

[0rganism]

68. the next one, always the next one

with Trump, there's always another scandal just around the corner, and it's always just a bit more annoying, disgusting, and/or terrifying than all that came before. there's only one direction they dig out of a hole, and that's straight down. you think they've hit bedrock so they'll stop for sure, and then they start fracking.

our nation has taken on as much damage as possible while still maintaining a veneer of functionality. things are about to get much much worse.

[bucolic_frolic]

69. TRUMP NULLIFICATION!!

Rape of the environment because it's irreversible and really everything Trump has done in office should be nullified. He stole the 2016 election.

TRUMP NULLIFICATION!!

[bluedigger]

70. Swearing to protect and defend the constitution in public.

[barbtries]

71. the reason is you care about people.

these are the 2 most outrageous in an avalanche of outrages.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

72. His rollback of Endangered Species Act, Allowing hibernating animals to be shot or gassed

In their dens, and loosening laws on trophy hunting. Gratuitous cruelty and greed.

[panader0]

73. While definately not as bad as kids in cages, or Putin sucking or Ukraine,

for some reason the disrespect shown to the Navaho Code Talkers
really got to me.

[JohnnyRingo]

74. Blow job in the Oval Office.

Oh wait!
Republicans wouldn't put up with that.
