Full stop: tRump's insulting name calling is absolutely unacceptable on any level

I am getting tired of these calm and reasoned discussions on cable TV that normalize this asshole’s racist name calling. Where is the outrage!? His daily comments would get a 5-year-old grounded for a month.

Where are the fucking Rs in Congress? They should be asked to repudiate tRump at every turn. The media cannot continue to give them a no-comment pass. Force them to take a stand against this vicious and racist practice.

call for a civil war?

it's easy to play outraged American but it isn't easy to do what is needed to make things right.

Do you want civil war?.....we would lose

And, I don't think that approach is helpful. That's me though. You do you.

The media has a way of going with the flow (i.e., what's "newsworthy" to the masses), and some are already starting to call him out. I suspect that other outlets are soon going to realize that they need to get on the bandwagon to avoid losing viewers and will start calling him out too.

As far as Congress... well, you can't change a chicken's feathers.

What needs to happen is for a LOT of people to start calling Congress out for collusion and conspiracy. If enough do, the media will pick up on that too.

We need not hold back from calling out the racists in the Republican party. It has become the party of frightened racists, and it is currently dominating our country.
