Dan Rather Just Posted DEVASTATING Warning About Trump

">Dan Rather is upset, and rightfully so. Donald Trump’s behavior over the past few days has been more frightening than ever, and it’s time to get worried.
Rather is on the case once again, calling out Trump for putting our country into a “circle of chaos”. Rather has criticized the president before, but this time, he’s really serious about the consequences if we don’t stop Trump."<

>"This is a man who challenged the citizenship of President Obama, with lies, innuendo, and no evidence. This is a man who claimed widespread voter fraud with lies, innuendo, and no evidence. This is a man who has taken a rhetorical blowtorch to our Constitutional principles with lies, innuendo, and no evidence. Those who rose in Congress to applaud his turns of phrase bear responsibility. Those who cynically use his presidency to push forward unpopular giveaways to the rich and well connected bear responsibility. Those in the press who meet insults with explanations bear responsibility."<

If he can't change the subject.
If his ratings go down, with Trumpsters, not us.
If he loses support of Congress.
If military stands up to him.
If impeachment seems imminent.
If he has a paranoid few days.

It is on his mind, he is talking about war a lot, even with his hotel guests.


Canada, Oh, Canada.

We know he's certifiable, we know (at least some of those) who are complicit. So WHO - with some authority - is gonna say "OK, enough!" I can bang this keyboard til my fingers are sore - I've marched with those who are protesting - I've tried to leave messages with my congress-dolt who's voicemail is always too full - I've sent postcards and letters (handwritten, mind you) to friend and foe alike in DC. So when is someone with some heft to their voice gonna do more than confirm what we're up against???

"win" by starting a freaking nuclear war, his millionaires and billionaires have more pillaging and fleecing to do.

He is a dangerous man and he needs to be stopped.

Plus, they let everyone know how crazy he really is, including his cabinet, the constituants of congressional elecred officials, the world. He is letting everyone know that his staff is just propping up a lunatic, and praying that he can look presidential for reading for an hour.

Like a toddler sitting in a room with a third story open window and an electronic game (my daughter actually encountered a situation where the little boy fell out of the window), let's keep him occupied with his toy, so he doesn't think about starting a war to stir things up. He has to have chaos, so better he is creating it with PR disasters than nukes.

I put the phrase President Bannon into every comment. I'm hoping he freaks out and fires the Nazi. I don't have a huge hope, but I have to try. I respond to just about every tweet he vomits.

as his puppeteer. If there were a lot of magazine covers like that, he would probably fire him. HE wants the whole credit, so to speak,.for himself.

so don't expect one back and of course, if you get in the habit, it goes without saying that you should not mention giving him bodily harm.

He IS crazy as a loon. Holy Crap...

I saw something on Facebook today, on Dan Rather's page, that made a whole bunch of people replying on that thread laugh out loud. Somebody on there referred to trump as "Cheeto Von Tweeto."

Though, I did hear President Bannon almost utter the phrase "Getting the trains running on time". He stopped himself mid line. He almost outed himself as the fascist he is.

I've heard that line bandied about more than I ever cared to - these days, applied to the hapless trump "white house." Shit - I don't even want to capitalize the freakin' BUILDING when he's in it.

You just know he would like to be able to set, literally, his detractors on fire. Or have his hecklers eaten by dogs. You just know this is true. He needs no stinking proof of anything, he is dear leader and that is that.

stop covering him! Will we have to listen to the deranged rantings of a spoiled, bigoted, malignant narcissist, lying, SOB til he finally croaks?

My bet is by July the Republicans will move either under the 25th Amendment or for impeachment. Anyone know what Vegas has for Trump's removal date, just curious?
