Re: Trump Is a Terrible President Because He's a Terrible Human Being

My heart breaks every time I see the image of Myeshia Johnson weeping on the coffin, then breaks even further when I see their daughter standing so silently and stoic. That she has to go through the loss of her father and be so strong like this, and having it made even worse by this horrible man makes me tear up.

I'm wondering, at this point, if there is anyone involved in this three ring circus who isn't connected to, and probably compromised by, Russia.

I have also noticed Jill Stein getting more and more testy when people question here about Russia. I'd like that investigated as well.

I would recommend Beverly Daniel Tatum's "Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together In The Cafeteria?" as a good introduction to this and to White Privilege.

As a white man I want to say I'm completely sick and tired of white men.

To everyone overcoming anxiety, shyness, or lack of spoons to make these calls: I see you and I'm proud of you. I'm privileged that I don't suffer from social anxiety or public speaking anxiety, and even I get shaky making calls like these. So you're definitely not alone.

I just called Tammy Duckworth's office, and the person answering seemed *very* happy to get my call, which makes me worried people are getting complacent, or they're only getting pro Trumpcare calls, or both.

Dick Durbin's phone was busy however, and has been, so I'm hoping that was a good sign.

Sometimes it feels like my actions don't do anything in Illinois, but I'm still going to do them.

Seriously, has anyone ever heard of congress celebrating with beer? This is incredibly ghoulish.

If I were one of the Democrats who subscribed to TIME after Trump was elected, I'd be cancelling my subscription today.

"No, it's not a mistake. Everyone's liking it. I think they're liking it."

In other words, "I know this hasn't the slightest whiff of truth, but I'm trying to whip up my crowds, and they're whipped up." Truth doesn't matter. Do they "like it?" And the media... all of them, every single one, are too cowardly to pin him down. And so it will go on.

I suppose if he becomes President, it will be okay for him to make shit like this up about any world leader he likes, because "They like it."

'I mean I've beaten many people, and now we're down to one. And we'll
see how it all works out, but I think it's going to work out well.'

Please proceed, Mr. Trump.

@Aeryl
Exactly; they can't risk being banned from any of his events for saying anything remotely negative about him; they'd lose ratings and money.
It's dangerous as fuck that Trump is banning the media from his events and the media can't even muster up some courage to broadcast that.

Meanwhile he's telling you the whole time that no one really likes *your* parties, and *he* should get to decide what happens at the next party, because his friends say his party would be so much more incredibly awesomely better than yours.

@Suzy YES, and I was saying earlier today that I will be glad when I no longer need to hear him doing this.

and it is absolutely imperative that we defeat Donald Trump

I really wish someone would ask him, "Well then, if you believe it is imperative that we defeat Donald Trump; if you are *not* the nominee, what will you be doing to ensure a Clinton victory over Trump?"

Sanders also bristled at the suggestion that his staying in the race would hurt Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump

Sanders really can't handle even the mildest pushback. Not a quality I want in a President.
