Just look at the expressions on the faces of those people. Nothing but pure hatred and anger. They stand for nothing positive. They feed on hate and Trump supplies them with an endless stream of antagonism to keep them riled up and hostile toward his enemies.

tRump has does some very serious damage to this country, and the GOP has his back on this! I hope the Blue Wave can continue to gather momentum through the 2020 elections!

follow a well laid out pattern. Trump and his Steve Miller Group are using this as a way of keeping relevant and as a Capture of News Cycle.

Doubt it,read your History of Eourpe from 1930 to 1944,Hitler and his handlers developed this outline to stay in power and the only change part is,Hispanics have replaced the targets of that period of time.

that , at least in Texas, it is being spread around with much glee. I don't believe it but if that is the case it just doesn't make any sense. The GOP just continues to lie, get media coverage of the lies, and moves on without consequence. What does it take for people to wake up and stop this madman?

admiration of the country's social and intellectual elite, yet his biggest supporters are the scum of the earth.

He wouldn't let most of these people even sit down on his furniture, and yet he needs their adoration to feel good about himself.

And thereby complicit. They need to really start doing old style investigative journalism on this guy as LEAD STORIES and CNN needs to have feeds going across the screen at all times when Trump or Sanders are lying.

They need to really pound home the lies of the guy at the top and also the dangerous policies of his cabinet. They need to stand up for real.

12. Well it's not as if Trump doesn't use the media to his gain. But, they won't quit covering his ass.

Let's face it, Trump creates viewership, viewership creates advertisement dollars, and corporate America (AT&T which owns Time Warner which owns etc etc etc etc) Just loves it. If it wasn't for Trump 24/7 we might be more informed on the rest of the world. Oh, but that would be too boring.
