this morning. He referred within the Republican committeeman's hearing to our president as "that lying sack of shit." Words were exchanged, partisans of both sides yelled at each other.
I think my husband won because the Republican's parting shot was "I'll pray for you."

(15,220 posts)The "I'll pray for you" is code for "I've treated someone badly and now I want to try to redeem the idea that I'm really a nice person".

Right now, the county and the world need those prayers, too.

(15,237 posts)Trump makes pointed comments easy. In addition situational awareness dictates the necessity to have counters ready on short notice and to size up the situation with a plan. This is resistance which is serious.
You have to remember Trumpsters do not expect resistance and resort to intimidation when challenged.
