An awful morning

An awful morning. The country is in a bad and dangerous place. And the president is committed to exacerbating conflict and fueling division, for, as a broken human being, that is how he believes he can achieve the only thing he cares about: reelection.

He is not the core problem. What most threatens the country is that tens of millions of people, an entire political party, and a whole media infrastructure continue to accept, embrace, and protect him and his pathologies.

3. Chump is the hood ornament on the killing machine that represents

the mindset that leads to the killing of all of these innocent people of color.

4. Thank you David Corn

As long as people in his position use the powers they have to promote hate, fear, and division using any issue they can , now race, they actively incite more violence, more division for their purpose , which is to weaken us as a country. Media now needs to repeat all day long Trumps own father took part in violence while protesting with the KKK against police, and was arrested then bailed out KKK members. The media also need to show how trump still argued for the death penalty for the Central Park five, even after they were proven innocent. Trump is again going to play both sides until after the election, then he will have Barr go after these protesters, then help these murdering police officers get off Scott free.

5. The magat/trump problem is not all about the hate mob, The relationship betweeen

the trump and the hater elements is symbiotic. A cruz could never incite the haters the way trump does.

mussolini seemed right for maximum hate for Italians. hitler right maximum German hate. Imnho.

6. We are ruled by a serial arsonist and mass murderer

who is fully and unconditionally supported by a major political party behind him

7. Republicans are hazardous to your health.

9. OMG. What a statement.

True, too. The question is, will he come to the same end and will we, the American people, have to go through what Germany and Italy did to get rid of him?

19. Wow... "The Apprentice."

Just WOW...

8. Imagine how much better the country would be

If the senate actually did their job during the impeachment trial last February (seems like an eternity ago) and removed him from power. It is incalculable how many lives could have been saved.

10. Would Pence have done any better than Shitgibbon coping with the pandemic?

tRump had already wrecked the infrastructure that had been built up to deal with it; Pence mught've been able to find the playbook, but then, golly gee, all this stuff's gone, whadda we do now?

He would advocate "praying away" the coronavirus instead of drinking bleach and other absurd YouTube conspiracy remedies. I doubt he would be in Twitter 24/7 either cheering on gun-toting extremists threatening governors over the lock down.

13. And the GOP would be looking for a new candidate for November. -nt

15. Re-electing Republicans when each time they take the wheel of the clown car...

Every.Single.Damn.Time

16. Thank you David Corn!!!

[Dios Mio]

17. I think my head will explode

How can the press cover this every day. They must be exhausted. I am weary from just keeping up with this death and destruction.

18. Well said David Corn.

He has so many enablers on the right.

20. K & R

[Joinfortmill]

21. Yes, but there's more of us. VOTE

[crickets]

22. This is the problem, underpinned by desire for money and power:

an entire political party, and a whole media infrastructure continue to accept, embrace, and protect him and his pathologies.

True governance has nothing to do with it, and is seen as an impediment rather than a necessity.

23. he is committed to the carnage he said would stop one day 1
