You beat me to it! Iā€™m so proud of my hometown! A Liberal City to the end. Did you see their ā€œrage smilesā€? It was a taste of his own medicine. Bet the voices in his headĀ said they were cheering him. šŸ™„

Yep. Flopsweat and clenched teeth. He canā€™t handle it! But he still thinks theyā€™re all out to getĀ him.Ā 

And look at the Secret Service guy in the back freaking and talking to his hand. ā€œHeā€™s getting ready to spontaneously combust I think. Be readyā€.Ā

Just the extra slow ones. The democrats in The House Of RepresentativesĀ still have to check with their corporate donors. The GOP is wayĀ too far gone. Especially the ones in The Senate.Ā

Unfortunately, his base ofĀ 30% of illiterate, deplorable, racist and religious hypocrites who vote for him will continue to supportĀ him whatever happens. That's why the other American voters will have to rank behind the Democratic candidateĀ and go out to vote massively next year. Unfortunately, all Sanders supporters will abstain from voting when he does not receive the nominationĀ and it will open the door to a division of the vote that will re-elect this dangerous sociopath fool for another 4 years of destruction of our democracy.

This ā€œSanders voterā€ will never not vote. And I wonā€™t vote for drumpf. So please donā€™t lump us all together in the same basket. Voting based on fear is how we got drumpf. And the Electoral College and GOP gerrymandering. Hillary did win the popular vote but lost because of the vastly outdated EC. Which is a relic from before the Civil War to protect the white political establishment. The founding fathers didnā€™t trust an uneducated and mainly rural population to completely control the vote. And now the politicians and lawmakers kept it around for the same reasonsā€”even though weā€™re a lot more educated and informed we are still governed by ancient laws.Ā

Watched some footage of Trump's speech about killing Isis leader. Talk about a conceited stupid moron who again lies continually. Raving about himself. Taking credit for everything and even putting himself in the discussion for past victories and lying about originally being the one who talked ofĀ killing Bin Laden.Ā Ā His descriptive horrible language and how he always refers to himself in the thirdĀ person is chilling in showing what he is about.Ā He really is an absolute moron and a complete narcissist who takes credit for things others have doneĀ

I will not be so sure. Analysis of the results of the 2016 election showed that 1 out of 10 Sanders fans voted for Trump which could have cost 3 key states for Clinton (https://www.npr.org/2017/08/24/545812242/1-in-10-sanders-primary-voters-ended-up-supporting-trump-survey-finds).Ā Yes, the gerrymandering and the desuet electoral system are the prime culprits of this political cul-de-sac, but the Democrats' search for the pure and perfect candidate and the refusal to settleĀ behind the chosen candidate will cost them the election again.Ā The situationĀ is serious and the answer must be unified and strong to get rid of thisĀ dangerous lunatic.

Trump has an approval rating in the 30s. But I donā€™t trust the democrats much either. They bungled a shoe-in election by not campaigning in key states HRC & DNC thought they had locked up. Drumpf was campaigning hard just about everywhere. Media following him around like moths to a flame giving him over a billion dollars worth of free air time. HRC could hardly fill a HS gymnasium. SandersĀ was (and continues)Ā filling stadiums, too. But he wasnā€™t M$M-DNC friendlyā€”so they ignored him.Ā Ā

You are so right. If the traditional media and social networks had stopped giving himĀ a perpetual showcase for the last 4 years, we would not be there. Unfortunately, his new bullshit of the day attracts the clicks and the media take advantage of it.Ā As for the media coverage of Sanders, it was obviously minimal, because hisĀ message goes against the backers who support these media. If Sanders had been the Democratic candidate, you can be sure that the media would have made little coverage of his campaign and reported the 5000 occurrences where Trump would shout the words Dangerous Socialist during his campaign. Moving the political agenda is so complicated in the US because of the bipartism that has been going on since the beginning of the country.

So true. Once Reagan eliminated ā€œThe Fairness Doctrineā€ the media went full for-profit. If youā€™ve ever seen the film ā€œNetworkā€ made originally as a parody of news for profit before it was a reality. Look who owns the M$M now? Big corporations like GE, COMCAST, Sinclair Media (thatā€™s another subject altogether)Ā & Rupert Murdoch owning Fox News and trying to monopolize the airwaves for conservatives.Ā 

All of this, approved by the government is what lead up to what we have in the US media today. Thereā€™s no news anymore. Itā€™s endless analysis of one piece of ā€œnewsā€ they discuss endlessly all day into the night. Theyā€™re basically brainwashing everyone with their particular bent (regardless of network) they repeat over andĀ over.Ā 

Drumpf is a manifestation (metastasis?) of greed, fascism and both parties are in on the joke. The joke is always on the people because he politicians are beholden to their corporate donors, not their constituents. Itā€™s ā€œbass ackwardsā€ as my Dad used to say. Itā€™s also a symptom of fascism when corporations start controlling government and gearing laws to suit their interests.Ā

Network was such a fantastic and visionary movieĀ about the breaking of journalistic power in the hands of corporations.

Indeed. Now a lot of it has come to pass. Itā€™s no longer journalism in the literal (no pun) meaning. I was a Comm Major in college and they kind of alluded to a similarĀ type of thing happening. And then thereā€™s Orwell. Which is getting way off topic here but in a way, here we are. With the gentle media manipulation and normalization of a tyrant who cages brown kids and brags about assaultingĀ women atĀ will because heā€™s rich and white and ā€œtheyā€ let him get away with it. His entire life.Ā

Ā 

This makes me furious.Ā  I have no idea who anybody with half a brain can't see that what Trump said on that phone call to Ukraine was wrong and treacherous on every level.Ā  It makes Watergate look like kindergarten stuff.Ā  And yet,Ā  the Republicans support him and his followers defend him.Ā  Trying to bribe another country's leader to get dirt on a political opponent is corruption at the highest level.Ā  Yet,Ā  Trump, his supporters,Ā  Fox News,Ā  Ā Murdoch papers,Ā  Far right,Ā  Religious people and now his brainlessĀ barbie daughter Ivanka are trying to compare him to Thomas Jefferson.Ā  More like Richard Nixon but 100 times worse.Ā  It really is beyond a joke and if he is allowed to get away with this, he can get away with anything. O'h and add the vicious words toward the whistleblower.Ā  This is far more serious than people seem to realize.Ā  If Trump gets away with this,Ā  well,Ā  he has the power to do anything.Ā  It is all there to see too,Ā Ā

Itā€™s GOPĀ obfuscation and obstruction coupled with drumpfā€™s lying and everyone acting like lunatics. DC is already aĀ crazy town. Drumpf and his band of racists, rapists, crooks and creeps just make it worse. I grew up thereā€”so Iā€™ve had some experienceā€”I made it through the oil embargo & Raygun. And to think President Lincoln was a Republicanā€”but I donā€™t remember that! šŸ˜±

And, Ā I was working on Connecticut Ave (I think thatā€™s the street) when Reagan was shot. Talk about crazy town! That day was nuts. It was reminiscent of when JFK was assassinated. But thatā€™s another story......sorry I go on tangents.Ā

No billionaires for POTUS. Theyā€™re not out for the people. Too many conflicts of interest. Never vote/trust a billionaire to come in and save us. Ainā€™t gonna happen. He may justĀ split the Republican vote though!! šŸ˜‚
