I’m sorry but trump has always been a low life mob boss and I didn’t have to live in Manhattan to know that. I just followed an old Southern adage that says, “ The louder you brag, the less you have.”

Does McConnell now regret that he didn't vote to convict Trump on perjury charges when he had the chance to do so? Twice?

Do I live in the USA? I think not. How can someone threaten someone else with death without ramifications?

I heard about this a few min ago on another podcast and am still picking my jaw off the floor! Why he is still walking the earth is beyond me, and my stomach stays in a knot. Insanity reigns in ......oh hell, I am too mad to say more.

Trump must be held accountable! No one is above the law! It seems increasingly clear that he has committed numerous crimes, from inciting an insurrection; promoting conspiracies; taking and withholding secret documents that do not belong to him and that are vital to national security; giving false information to the FBI; actively interfering in the election counting process in Georgia; encouraging fake electors; and cheating and lying to the IRS regarding his taxes and income.

It seems to me a large part of the current problem with Trump and Kump is that they were rarely called out back in 2015 and 2016 when a lot of the insanity started. Trump could say anything crude, rude, inciting, hateful, inaccurate, and more and the media broadcast it while their balance coverage for Hilary Clinton was "Ben Gazi" or "30,000 emails." The media loved it because they had never seen such appalling behavior in a presidential candidate in our lifetime. It was like a joke for some of them while a lot of Americans bought the BS and swallowed it whole because Trump's pretend rage seemed to match their own rage that a Black man was president and actually did a good job (can't have that), some hadn't recovered from the 2008 recession because the banks were more important than the people (only partly Obama's fault), prices were too high, and the Democrats were nominating a woman. That last one was probably worse than the rest, except maybe the racism. At the "debates" Trump was permitted to stalk the opponents and was expected to give no coherent answers to any of the questions asked. His softball questions told his followers nothing but his stalking told them Trump was in their eyes "a manly man!" The Republican candidates who were opposing Trump told the truth about who Trump is and what he does. Suddenly, after Trump got electoral college elected, they "forgot" who he was and bowed and scraped to him and went on the attack against anyone else who told the world who Trump is. I can't help but wonder what Trump and Kump have on those mostly men that he can hold their loyalty when they know who he is. McConnell knew Trump was guilty in both impeachment trials but voted to acquit anyway. He did Trump and Kump a favor, but since a few laws passed that will actually help people, Trump is putting out the death threats and the racist insults. Good boy Donnie. You are living up to your role as former "Toddler in Chief." Now it's time for the adults to apply some positive discipline and keep Donnie off the airwaves, then he must be charged with the monstrous crimes he has committed. It's time!

not to mention other criminality such as Ginni Thomas receiving $700,000 from the Heritage Foundation over several years and "Justice" Thomas not reporting any "spousal income" in all that time! One might assume the Heritage Foundation suggested dear Ginni mention a few preferences of theirs in Clarence's purview. In my opinion both Thomases should be in prison.

You can bet that - despite the GOPs overwhelming silence - Mitch McConnell's security detail is now on highest alert. His day to day life has changed - both at his office AND his home. He and his family are now even more vulnerable than ever before. Trump and his allies cannot walk this back.

Charles Manson spent a life in jail because he inspired others to be violent. Donald Trump should be in jail for doing the same.

This disgusting man has to be stopped. He will get someone killed with his threats. The crazies that support this disgusting piece of trash will kill someone. He doesn't care if it's Democratic or Reptard. The Clown is a mob boss telling his lunatic followers to murder people against him. The disturbed Qanons will murder someone for the crazy old man. This crazy old man needs to be in prison NOW!

I do not like or approve of Mitch McConnell one bit.

But trump's rhetoric and his cult's threatening are the equivalent of yelling "Fire" in a theater.

There should be severe consequences for anyone doing so -- including donald trump.

And yet the vast majority of Republicans refuse to condemn. Nothing suggests they will pay a substantial price in November.

I am 93 years old and I was 12 when WWII started. I wondered then how the people in Germany were led astray to the place where they could accept Hitler’s atrocities. Watching America now shows me the picture of Germany then and it’s sickening. Of course ALL the people don’t accept it, and I think the ones who do are in the minority but I want to do something and I don’t know what to do. I feel helpless.
