    The biggest issue with the entire narrative of Trump is that the media is adjusting to accommodate him. Like, the necessity of the system being successful is pushing everyone to an edge because in order to maintain that success, this idiot has to be treated with the respect the office "deserves," even though he should probably be hung from a very tall tree.

    So he's going to keep doing disgusting things, and people will keep commenting, but it will precipitate because the machine will not - and possibly can not - adjust toward the actual will of the people.

    In the end he's an idiot yelling at the television, just now behind the biggest megaphone in the world. Ignoring him is not a possibility without calling bullshit on the entirety of America's self-image, which is a big part of the problem.

    • I hear there's some real intellectual heavy weights here. Tell me o wise ones should anything happen to this president what will happen to your beloved leaders?IRNlun6
    • You like your violent fantasies but will quickly loose taste to it if when it comes.IRNlun6
    • Pretty sure he was just using a figure of speech to say that Trump is a despicable person. Which he is.yuekit
    • Dems always did like hanging people from trees.IRNlun6
    • Do you think those were liberals that did that? The Democrats used to represent the Confederate South -- the same people who are now on your side.yuekit
    • Democrats did that and to this day still use race to attack and divide people. That party has never been held to account for their past.IRNlun6
    • And right here in this post, we have a liberal talking about hanging people from trees.IRNlun6
    • Yeah I've heard that argument many times from Breitbart readers and other right wingers who are apparently ignorant of basic U.S. history.yuekit
    • Slavery, segregation, Jim Crow laws, and the KKK. All Democrat party history. To say otherwise is ignorance of US history.IRNlun6
    • Right but the part you're missing is that the political parties have changed since then in almost everything but name.yuekit
    • Slavery, segregation and Jim Crow were carried out by conservative Southerners. Liberals were fighting against those things.yuekit
    • Now maybe you can tell me which party represents the conservative South today, i.e. the former Confederacy? Somehow I don't think it's Pelosi and Obama.yuekit
    • After the 60s, the Republicans had something called the Southern Strategy. Which was to appeal to Southern whites by exploiting racial tensions and fear ofyuekit
    • social change. This was openly discussed and advocated by the campaigns of Nixon and Reagan. For that matter you would have to be pretty blind not to see thatyuekit
    • Trump is reading from essentially the same playbook.yuekit
    • Talk about exploiting racial tensions and fear, you should listen to what peaceful liberal Lyndon Johnson had to say...IRNlun6

    • I love it when IRN gets grumpy. Like a swivel-eyed Ned Flanders.face_melter
    • OK but so what? Lyndon Johnson was a weird guy, apparently he also liked to take his dick out and wave it around. And he made plenty of bad decisions likeyuekit
    • in Vietnam. The important thing is that he did sign civil rights legislation at the end of the day.yuekit
