The corrupted Dems trying their best to come to the Ayatollah's rescue.

[Mike 03]

1. I wish psychiatrists could just intervene and have him committed. nt

[spanone]

3. He is totally out of his mind.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. Republican derangement.

Those psychiatrists will have a busy day corralling his supporters as well.

[CaptYossarian]

22. A better use for the ICE-tapo.

[Iliyah]

2. Sick and sad . . .

t-rump is advocating violence forwards Democrats . . .

[kentuck]

4. He's the type that yells "Fire!" in a crowded theater.

He doesn't have the ability to think of consequences.

[Pachamama]

27. I disagree Kentuck

I think Trump would yell Fire in a theater with the hope of creating mass panic, injuries and mayhem and do it for his entertainment and pleasure.

[Newest Reality]

37. Well...

Have you considered that this is not a matter of bungling along?

My strong impression is that we are seeing, real time, how a tin pot dictator does things in order to wrest power away from the people. It seems to be classic to me and therefore, intentional.

Where do you draw the line when your only true intent is to retain and expand power as if it was your only way of assuaging your deep, psychological flaws and distortions?

He would hire people to yell fire in every theater on a regular basis if he could, or even have a direct line to the speaker systems and yell it on a whim anytime.

I think his wacky, bungling appearance distracts from his ulterior motive and it is easy to miss this. An example is that there have been several major cult leaders who were really zoned out on several drugs and even deteriorating mentally, but they still retained power and exorcised it for hundreds of people. So, you could be ultra-stoned and even babbling some weird stuff and, if the system you are in allows it, control and destroy at your whim.

40. I think you're right-- this is the way to "prep" for authoritarianism

Big Brother in 1984--
“You are a slow learner, Winston."
"How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four."
"Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder."

Yesterday the White House staff tweeted out that it was "the first snow" which wasn't true-- obviously. There had already been a first snow, and it was over 50 degrees at the White House, so there wasn't any snow at all.

Trump's cultists actually tried to justify this. They don't actually need any evidence or even sense... they just say it's true somehow.

By demanding that his cultists (and he doesn't care about the rest of us) believe more and more idiotic things just because he said them, he is utterly cementing their loyalty.

It's sad. At least Winston in 1984 was being imprisoned and tortured before he finally agreed 2+2=5. Trump cultists do it without duress.

And the rest-- the normal Republicans who know very well that 2+2=4-- just pretend not to have heard Trump say anything crazy. "What? I didn't hear that!" my uncle will say, as if his not hearing it means it never happened. They'll go along with anything as long as there's an "R" in the White House.

So there are the avid dupes and the craven collaborators.

41. Wow...

Nice assessment there. Well said and to the point.

I agree fully. I also am very thankful for Orwell's insights and presentation of the "playbook". It helps us see the forest rather than just the trees.

[dawg day]

42. Yes, good point.

Orwell wrote the playbook. What's scary is Trump has doubtlessly never read 1984... he just instinctively goes for these tactics.

[muntrv]

5. They tried that with Obama and he still won twice.

[klook]

33. Even Satan in Mark Burnett's TV series The Bible bore a resemblance to Obama

— although he and the History Channel vehemently denied it, of course.

[randr]

6. Just a hint of the optics ahead

We are dealing with a mad man who will always go lower.

[el_bryanto]

7. This is the sort of thing to remember when Centrist Democrats talk about working with

Republicans - how do you compromise with this sort of mentality?

Republican - "I want Democrats dead"

Democrats - "I don't want Democrats dead"

Compromise - "We'll savagely beat and maim the Democrats."

You can't compromise when the position of one of the two sides is "We need to eliminate the other side."

8. Does this Aussie Iranian Moron realize that trump would preemptively nuke Iran if he could? Nt

[durablend]

9. He still might

If it looks like he's going to lose (or if he *does* lose), I wouldn't be surprised if they're the recipient of a going away present.

[maryellen99]

10. Yep nt

[dewsgirl]

16. I pray somehow he is stopped. I don't foresee anyone

stopping him though, unfortunately.😳😔

[maryellen99]

18. Me neither nt

[keithbvadu2]

11. Like Reagan and Ollie North giving/selling weapons to the Ayatollah?

Like Reagan and Ollie North giving/selling weapons to the Ayatollah?

[Ohiogal]

13. Simply pathetic

Junior high school insults and giggles from the President of the United States.

And his MAGAts think it’s hilarious.

How did so many people get to be so dumb and immature and hateful.

[samplegirl]

19. The dumbing down

of America has reached a whole new level under trump.
Can’t go much lower! I often wonder what Bill Moyer thinks now.

[Wednesdays]

20. Better question:

How did those dumb, immature, hateful people get the reins of power?

[lunasun]

32. ++ ikr. .I don't understand how it happened to so many people but

It’s scary

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

14. Such a lack of thought...

But he never has been held accountable for anything, ever he has no idea of what a consequence is. He just does stuff without thinking.

Just what we look for in a leader. (Sarcastic comment)

[sheshe2]

15. Twitter needs to ban the a**hole! nt

[Farmer-Rick]

17. That is so ridiculous

Traitor Trump is more like a Saudi evil king than anyone in the US.

But he would be swirling around in a gold thobe and orange face.

23. I wouldn't be surprised if this person is an Iranian expat who wants us to reinstall the Pahlavis nt

[Dennis Donovan]

29. Good call. He follows Reza and Farah Pahlavi on twitter.

...just checked, and yup, he sure does.

Too young to remember SAVAK, apparently...

[Caliman73]

45. Conservatives are really ignorant.

Jimmy Carter? Really?

They are only wrong by 3 Presidents. We over threw Mosaddegh in the 1950's during EISENHOWER's administration, but don't tell that to a conservative they will start screaming and plug their ears like a 3 year old.

[AJT]

24. This isn't a 45 retweet.

[Dennis Donovan]

25. Screenshot:

[Kali]

30. doesn't his account say something like "realDonald J Trump?"

ugh hate even writing it out!

[Dennis Donovan]

34. His Twitter "address" is @RealDonaldTrump - retweets show "display names". n/t

[Kali]

36. ok, I don't tweet so wasn't sure

[AJT]

31. Thanks. When I click on it the original came up.

[spanone]

26. Yes it is.

[CrispyQ]

28. This will be the nastiest campaign season ever.

And cult-45 will cheer him on.

I'm embarrassed and ashamed of the people I know who still support this vile man and party. WTF?

[tblue37]

35. Remember when everyone was shocked that Bush 41 would stoop so low as to call his

opponents bozos? How far our expectations for presidential behavior has sunk since then!

[Dennis Donovan]

38. I thought of that very thing a few days ago...

He was widely criticized for it at the time (1992 election) because it wasn't a very "presidential" thing to say.

[tblue37]

39. Precisely. But there is no low too low for Trump. nt

[Captain Zero]

43. Didn't he put out that tweet that all subsequent tweets have the weight of official policy?

So official White House (US) policy is now what?

The DEM leadership is corrupt and helping the Ayatollah, right?

We need his evidence, witnesses, and personal testimony.
If this is official policy then I would say his SOTU can't be delivered in a house of congress controlled by we the people.
