... not only that, he’s threatening treason charges on those who investigated him.

He enjoys himself so much on those rallies, he's mainlining sex, drugs and mother's milk all cooked up together he floats downstream in a reverie, enchanted by his own greatness

The NRA is having.........difficulties, apparently. Salt cellars at the ready though.

Good.

At his rally. Why would he do this? I know he’s scum himself, but this is low.

Wow -- Trump refers to the FBI and DOJ leaders he's purged from government as "scum"

Silly man. You invite your IC chiefs to dinner - not slag them off to Fox.

NYT article re: rally. An excerpt:

‘As he attacked the usual hit list of Democrats, journalists and prospective 2020 presidential candidates, Mr. Trump detailed his policy victories and denounced his perceived enemies for any setbacks or losses. He again blamed John McCain, the Republican senator of Arizona, for dismantling a Republican plan to overhaul the health care system.

‘“We should’ve had health care,” Mr. Trump said. “But one man decided to vote against it.”

‘The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the bill Mr. McCain voted down would have led to the loss of health care for over 16 million people. Still, the crowd cheered.’

I wonder when the base will tire of this. I don't have any expectation that the facts will win through here but the endless repetition might come to bore them.

Then Trump will have to choose other targets or intensify the rhetoric.

Or they will find a new and more vitriolic king to march behind.

lionheart · 28/04/2019 08:03

He'll run with this.

"The baby is born, the mother meets w/the doctor. They take care of the baby. They wrap the baby beautifully. Then the doctor and mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby."

Sad 19 years old/semi-automatic rifle /hate - don't tell me this isn't ultimately a result of Trump's attitude to "othering" because I won't believe you.

From end of Ron Chernow's speech (also applicable to UK politics...)

"As we head into election season, I leave you with one last gem from [Mark] Twain: ‘Politicians and diapers must be changed often and for the same reason.’”

I can't believe that I could despise this man any more than I already do.

Apologies this thread may be triggering/upsetting to some Sad

Thread: As a NICU nurse, I served on the “Bereavement Team.” We were a special team of Nurses tough enough to help new parents go through the worst day of their lives. Parents of babies who had fought so hard for their tiny little lives and weren’t going to make it... 1/

And parents of babies who, after they were born, and wouldn’t have their moms body keeping them alive, would die rather quickly. As these small bodies were failing, it was our job to be there with the parents at every step, give them support, and do our best to make some .../2

Memories of their precious babies that could help easy their impending and overwhelming grief. When heroic measures failed or a baby without a brain or working lungs or heart was born, we knew the end was near, and we encouraged the parents to be present in these finals moments/3

We placed the babies skin to skin with mom and placed a blanket over them both. We lowered the lights and quieted the room. We had as much or as little family and the parents wanted in the room. We sang songs, we prayed, we hugged, we swayed... and we all cried. 4/

I cried until my throat burned for this family who has just had to endure the unthinkable. We were in the moment with those families. We took pictures, even for the ones who were too traumatized to think they’d ever want to see them, just in case they did. We made footprints 5/

We put a lock of hair into a ribbon. We measured the babies length and marked it on a tape measure. We made special tiny white gowns and hats for our angels. We created a memory box for these families who were losing their child that day. 6/

So yes, there are those in hospitals who are around infants who pass: they are the Bereavement Teams & they provide the equivalent of neonatal hospice to families who are living through absolute Hell. Babies and children die, it’s a sad part of life. But no one, absolutely /7

NO ONE ever, in any hospital, nor any mother who has just given birth, is conspiring with a doctor on whether or not to commit infanticide. This is perhaps one of the sickest accusations levied by this deranged dictator yet. Don’t believe a word he says about anything important//
