When protestors were gathering across from the White House, he sent out the message that it was "MAGA night", expecting the red hats to show up, with the motorcycle gangs and the camo-warriors, armed to the teeth.
But, none of them showed up. Somehow they had lost the courage they had when they marched into the state capitols, flaunting their weapons and sparking fear into many honest citizens. Perhaps they were in the bunker with Mr Trump?
He now realizes that they are much like him. They cannot be trusted. Their loyalty does not extend to putting their own safety in danger.

(8,844 posts)Actually, it's almost exactly 40 years. It started the first month of Reagan's Admin. Everyone identifies it as the "Reagan Administration",
but it was really the Daddy Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld CABAL.......(BTW: it was the same crew installed in the "W" administration, but without Daddy Bush. They let Daddy Bush retire and cash out by making him chairman of the board of the Carlisle group)
In My Opinion....for decades, the dems have been walking down the jungle path, swatting at mosquitoes, and have been oblivious to the herd of charging elephants........
In the past 40 years, lines have been drawn in the sand, and without exception the RepubliCONs have marched across those lines with no repercussions.......It kicked into high gear during the "W" administration. More truly the: Cheney/Rumsfeld Administration, and these past three years, they have streaked across those lines in the sand at warp speed WITH COMPLETE IMPUNITY.....
As for RUSH "Limpballs",..........whatever. I don't want to say how I really feel, for fear of getting censored........Karma can be a bitch will have to do.........
Maybe Trump will visit him in the ICU and give him another medal, a supply of his favorite Opiates and a big fat cigar........

(9,090 posts)someone was walking their little dog and it barked at me and i stuck my hand down to say hi in case it was friendly and looked up and it was rumsfeld coming around the corner walking the dog. he put his hand out and said hello and smiled. i raised my hand out automatically but stopped before actually shaking it and didn't smile back and he got the message. he was visiting friends or something and my parents saw him or the black SUV once in a while. as my father, ex marine and anti nukes/anti iraq war, got a little older my mother and i worried he might run into him and shoot him.
after obama won but bush jr was still in the white house they invited limbaugh to lunch there with pres and limbaugh recounted the visit proudly the monday after. i think he realized after he told the story to his milllions that they were actually not happy that he waited too long to support mccain. the birthday cake he got was in shape of a chocolate microphone as if to say here suck on this for 4 or 8 years......
that was the election manafort was camapaign co-chair and limbaugh wouldn't support mcccain until mccain picked palin. she was being wooed by russian oil and gas and manafort was already working for russians. gop establishment/mccain wanted lieberman or pawlenty. limbaugh finally could support mccain the friday before the convention - the choice was announced minutes before the start of his show. that may be early evidence of russian use of limbaugh/talk radio.

(82,849 posts)It's imperative that we stand strong and resolute at this moment when the president is ordering the military to fire on law-abiding citizens. Trump's not going to back down on his own, we're going to have to back him down.

Trump is no tough guy. He has had someone take care of him his entire life. His daddy bailed him out until he died then mobsters used him as their puppet.

(30,761 posts)He said some outside instigators came down the hill near the college and started smashing windows. That is when he got out. He said the cops behaved well.
I told him to stay home. They are under curfew now and I don't want him to get sick. He has been working from home and following the stay at home orders. He said it was worth it to be out there.
I cannot tell a thirty-eight year old man what to do, even though I am his mother.

(25,403 posts)I paraphrase loosely: Trump said he was deploying the heavily armed military to protect Second Amendment rights. By its omission, that tells me that Trump thinks "fuck your First Amendment rights." Trump fancies himself a man of action, but he is not. He is a mendacious man of specious words.
