It's like Joseph McCarthy came back to life and became president

Trump crowd finds a new target to lock up: Feinstein

incite people to violence. Especially against democratically-elected women. This is frightening.

I am terrified that I am going to wake up soon and hear the words "assassination."

See the old movie with Frank Sinatra, Angela Lansbury, Janet Leigh and Lawrence Harvey. Presidential candidate, America firster is actually working for the Russians. So much like Trump but not nearly as stupid and crude - but always talking about how patriotic he was.

Roy Cohn trained he and Trump to be royal Ass wipes. BTW,Joe McCarthy was all about himself,and he made sure you never forgot it. Funny thing,so is Trump.
