    They said it could happen here. Just didn't think it would be so kakistocratic when it did.

    It's really heart-rending, isn't it? Like watching Visyrion (sp) the dragon die but in slow motion, over and over.

    Two Scoops's epic incompetence and mental problems may be what saves the country. If he was genuinely clever and focused, we'd be in bigger trouble. On the other hand, if we don't recover from this, then Two Scoops will just have been the warm-up act for a real demagogue, a smart, skilled one. No telling how bad that could get. One of things that wakes me up at night is that a real demagogue could be taking notes, right now, including noting all the buffoon like mistakes that would be easy to eliminate. (A political Night King, if you will.)

    Cool our President needs pep rallies to make himself feel better. Also props to those fake Trump
    Accounts like "Blacks4Trump" and "DemsForTrump" in taking fake pictures and passing them as real.

    The pep rallies, lies, racism, golf outings, various members quitting...he packed 4 years of deceit and scandal into 7.5 months. At least he gave us the Cliffs Notes version of his Presidency. Now just need the good ole heave ho. Bring on Pence!

    Anybody seen a good five minute or so clip of the most outrageous parts of the speech? Apparently it was pretty bizarre even by Trump standards. I Cannot tolerate much more than that of the guy most Repubs still support.

    I cannot take another minute of this reality game show of Trump vs. CNN.

    Our president is an abomination, yet somehow our press is even worse.

    Holy ****. Please god. Let me out of this nightmare.

    You guys are a glutton for punishment. Why you subject yourselves to this I'll never understand.

    The liberals continue their meltdown - likely because they recognize that Trump's correct regarding the media. People need to wake up and realize that the media is only out for one thing - advertising dollars - and identity politics and dividing the people is how they get eyeballs...

    That "blacks 4 trump" guy is real... he's just certifiably insane. In short, he thinks all of America's problems are caused by a secret Cherokee Indian conspiracy, which is so randomly out there, but so hyper-specific that it is kind of endearing.

    (That last sentence really amuses me.)

    This is pretty much how I feel all the time.

    Why can't we just talk about the protester that got shot in the balls? At least that's new and exciting.

    One more month and basketball is back brotha (at least preseason).

    I think we all need a good new show to binge for the next month to take a break from this train wreck.

    I know better than anyone though how hard it is to turn the channel from this nonsense reality tv show.

    When Presidents do these type of rallies, usually it is to promote a piece of legislation or program. Trump is using them to prop up his fragile ego.
