    It's pretty insane that a president makes a tweet like that and people just shrug it off as the new normal. People have already become numb, and too accepting.

    He accused a TV personality of murder. I don't think his supporters have a problem with his **** tweets.

    As a nurse, I can tell you that one of the #1 priorities we have drilled into us is to prevent falls with older individuals. We have entire assessments dedicated to it and precautions in place to prevent them. This is something I have seen with many older individuals. His reaction was quite normal. Dick move by the officer and potentially criminal.

    Yup. You could make volumes of books at this point of off the wall stuff he has done.

    At this point he just a sub par comedian to me. 100-200 years from now they will look at this as dark period in history. It will boil down to having a two party system and having the choices that were given last election and the current with Biden. Something has to change for the better.

    He may be a goofball, he may be an "agitator", he may be a lot of things...but the police have no business shoving a guy like that. All they had to do was put an arm around his shoulder and walk him away to the side.

    De-escalation is something that is apparently not taught in the Academies anymore.

    To me the one stand-up who is way under rated is Norm Macdonald.

    Always remember that even now 95% of self identified Republicans still support Trump.

    Well it could be if the Republican base keeps shrinking.
