Stop babbling about this president

Even on MSNBC. "What is his plan? What is he going to do? He has an offbeat way of communicating...blah blah blah."

This fucker is a criminal and he threatened Adam Schiff's life. Don't sugar coat it.

Fuck impeachment. Haul that orange ass out of the White House NOW!

I’d like nothing better than to see 2/3rds of the US Senate find the stones to convict and remove Donnie from office, but that isn’t going to happen. I am very disappointed, particularly with Donnie’s two accomplices from Texas.

I should remind my fellow frustrated and angry Democrats that unlike the Republican Party, the Party of kakistocracy, corruption, and malfeasance, we are trying to preserve the US Constitution and the rule of law.

OTOH, I genuinely wonder just how compos mentos Donnie is. I would not be surprised if the 25 Amendment might be applicable by the end of the summer.

use those sugarcoating words?

He’s “offbeat”. “unorthodox”, “shuns norms”, translation, he is insane

he “reshapes” policy, translation, he destroys it

he is “chaotic,” “ capricious,” “a maverick,” translation, he doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing

Etc.

"Flooding the Zone with Shit". But it is the style of violent, dictatorial MALE rulers through all millenia. Democracy is the exception in Human History; Autocracy is the norm.

Trump has a feral talent for Gaslighting - and it works whether you buy it or not. Putin and the GRU had to work for decades to develop the techniques that come to Trump naturally, shamelessly, joyfully.

He lies on all sides of an issue; any statements he makes are just noise, and the Constitution is so weak, the courts so slow to react, there is no way to stop his bullying and gleeful dismantling of the bureaucracy.

His "offbeat style" has the press baffled - SNL had a skit a month back where a talking dog said "Trump's playing a game the Democrats don't even understand".

I feel like people here are more outraged about this tweet.
