When Are We Going To Realize WE ARE AT FULL WAR with the REPUBLICAN PARTY?
Hopefully, sooner than later.

(115,858 posts)He really doesn't give a crap about Kavanaugh or what he's been accused of. It's all about Trump, and if some other privileged white dude is being accused of sexual assault, that reflects on Himself, and we can't have that.

rump and kav, and other other sexual predators have woken up a sleeping tiger w/ the constant barrage of anti victim rhetoric. Women are paying attention to what these so called men are saying. I'm paying attention (and I am a man) for I absolutely believe what these women are saying, for who in their right mind expose themselves to the attacks we've all been seeing?
These types of attacks (by so called pillars of the community) have been repeated thru-out our nations' history so it does not surprise me. We can all name former coaches, legislators, religious leaders, etc., who all have been accused of, and with overwhelming and believable evidence, convicted of sexual assault.
I view the hyperbolic nature of rump's and kav's counterattacks of their accusers' accounts as seeming evidence that in fact, something did happen. I view their denials with "yeah, right" sarcasm like a lot of us do, and I view the victims with admiration and sadness for I imagine that they are going through (or at least I can barely imagine the pain and agony) the assault all over again.
As for rump and kav. Sure, you didn't do it. But in reality, you will be forever tagged by society as having committed these crimes for, if you didn't do the crime(s), why not stand trial and be declared 'innocent'?
No, I don't see either of you doing such a thing, for you are both cowards, in screeching out "I'm innocent!",
never ever accepting responsibility for their actions, but instead lashing out at everyone else, pointing at the democrats, pointing at the authorities, or in short, blaming everyone else.

(9,350 posts)I really think Donald Trump has diminished capacity and is being used by right wingers in the White House. I think that is the main reason they have not used the 25th Amendment. They do not, or did not want to get rid of him because he is a useful idiot. I really think this could be a situation that is worse then Reagan in the 1980s. They are just giving him a script and he is mainly reading from the script. That is likely why he is allowed to do so many of these rallies. What President, who is in charge, would be away from the White House that often? Even when he is in Washington, D.C. he does not seem to do much at the White House other than watch TV. He is crazy and everyone in the White House, aside from him, knows.

(19,114 posts)This is a different tone and tact by the Dictator in Chief. Branding opponents as evil means they can be killed. Like when he branded immigrants as animals it green lighted the abuse that occurred to them.
