Rolling Stone: Watch Trump Dismantle Your Will to Live During His Unhinged Rally



President Donald Trump went on a 90-minute extended rant during his rally in Wisconsin on Saturday night, programmed against the White House Correspondents Dinner that he refused to attend. During his unhinged monologue, the president said many ridiculous things that will sap your will to continue living in this nightmare dystopia, including: accusing mothers and doctors of executing newborns, calling the media “sick” and ex-FBI officials “scum,” claiming credit for the “sick” idea of sending undocumented immigrants to sanctuary cities, and doing an impression of the Saudi king’s accent. Oh, and, of course, there were “Lock her up!” chants.

Speaking about abortion, Trump brought up a lie he’s been touting for a while: that newborn babies are “executed” by their mothers and doctors. He accused Democrats of “aggressively pushing extreme late-term abortion, allowing children to be ripped from their mothers’ womb right up until the moment of birth.”

Then, he went even further, saying, “The baby is born, the mother meets with the doctor, they take care of the baby, they wrap the baby beautifully, and then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby. I don’t think so.”
Never mind that what he said was patently, demonstrably false. It doesn’t matter because Trump’s goal (and the goal of anti-choice activists) is to strip women of bodily autonomy by any means necessary. And yes, that includes lying about women going through the harrowing experience of having a baby who cannot survive outside the womb.

Trump also engaged in his typical name-calling, this time saying the media are “sick people” who say he won’t leave office “at the end of six years.” Wait, does the president not know that terms are four years each, or can he not do simple math?

Criticizing the lack of real action by our Democratic reps is not "bashing". Your attempt to discourage constituency demands that Dems DO SOMETHING of substance is duly noted.

The foolhardy notion that “we just need to vote him out in 2020” is a proven loser, because the Russians HAVE NOT STOPPED. Nor have their efforts been disabled. And we still have absolutely no leadership from the top. The top is in total denial.

They’ve done nothing to curtail this BECAUSE THEY WANT THAT HELP AGAIN.

trump knows full well how desperately he needs to win. Another four-year term will get him safely past all the statutes of limitations. That’s why Congress has to stop him NOW.

While they still can.

I’ll clam up if Pelosi starts it off by saying she’s happy to work with him once he instructs Barr et al to comply with the House’s right to investigate an unredacted Mueller Report, otherwise...

We are going to have to leave our social media and congregate, peacefully, en masse in order to make a visible and impressive declaration. THEN perhaps Congress will see our expressed will. Such an event would provide cover for Dems to act boldly.
