@MayorJenny

Seattle is fine. Don’t be so afraid of democracy.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

Seattle Mayor says, about the anarchists takeover of her city, “it is a Summer of Love”. These Liberal Dems don’t have a clue. The terrorists burn and pillage our cities, and they think it is just wonderful, even the death. Must end this Seattle takeover now!

[Maxheader]

1. Good response..

Fuck the yellow haired coward...Handjob is just flaming a liberal city..

[pwb]

2. States rights .

Read the Constitution trump, it is very short but has big words. Steve Miller could read it to you.

[plimsoll]

10. Steve miller would give him the abridged version.

You know leave out the stuff that says "You can't do that."

[Frustratedlady]

3. These female mayors and governors are putting the Repuke Congresscritters to shame.

They aren't taking anything off Trump and he doesn't know how to handle them.

Go gals!

5. +1

4. The more I hear from her, the more I like her!

[soothsayer]

6. Rock on!

PS I hope he doesn’t invade and kill them all.

[smirkymonkey]

7. Why is he so obsessed with Seattle?

The Mayor and the Governor have clearly got things under control. There is no problem.

He just wants to create chaos where there isn't any. He's such a raging asshole!

[Cha]

11. BLOTUS is a BIG BULLY & needs to show his CULT he

can still GD BULLY.. EVEN if it BLOWS up in his GD ASSFACE

I hope that answers your question, Smirky.. lol

[smirkymonkey]

18. He's such an ass!

He's nothing but a bloviating coward. We need more commercials that tell the truth about who he really is.

Good to see you, Cha!

[Cha]

28. Good to see you, too, Smirky!

15. Because he watches FOX and listens to hate radio. They make Seattle sound like a war zone.

[Crunchy Frog]

16. He's looking for a pretext to carry out a massacre.

More Tiananmen Square than Kent State. He's working on the narrative to back this up. Maybe that's how he's going suspend elections and assume dictatorial powers.

I know I'm sounding crazy paranoid, but I think that he's cornered and desperate, and could do anything, or at least try.

[smirkymonkey]

17. No, you know, I think you could be right. However, the truth is on camera.

It is in photos and in print. If he tries anything, it will backfire on him. If he thinks the BLM marches were bad, wait until he sees how people react when he sics the military on a peaceful group of people who just want everyone to come together in love and understanding. They aren't looting, they aren't rioting. They aren't even loud and angry.

But if he can't find it in Seattle, he will keep looking. We all need to be careful not to give him a reason. Peaceful resistance for now. We can't give him a reason to use force.

[marie999]

23. How is he going to suspend elections?

The states control those. Do you think the Republicans would allow him to try knowing that on January 20, 2021, at noon, the Speaker of the House would become President? The Secret Service will not follow him nor will the military.

[Crunchy Frog]

35. As I said in my post, I'm mostly being paranoid.

I wouldn't be surprised if that were his thought process though.

[marie999]

37. Oh I don't doubt that he would if he could.

I just don't think that there is any way he could do it.

[spooky3]

21. Because he hates Bezos and Gates? Nt

[smirkymonkey]

22. Oh, that could be a reason.

I forgot about that. Is there anybody he doesn't hate?

He even hates his own cult members, he just needs their fawning adorartion to prop up his ego. What a miserable person he must be. So consumed with hatred, envy and vengefulness. I wish it would just cause him to stroke out so we could all be free of this madness.

[Laelth]

8. THIS is evidence of the genius of our system of government.

Yes. It is cumbersome. Yes. It can be slow as Christmas to make necessary changes. Yes. It is hard as hell to get anything done, but it undoubtedly IS SUPREMELY resistant to tyranny. In Russia, or even in France, for that matter, Mayors of cities are the direct agents and subordinates of the Presidents of those countries. This is not the case in the United States. Here, the democratically elected Mayor of Seattle is not subservient to our President IN ANY WAY. That gives her the right to tell him to PISS OFF, mind his own business, leave her and her citizens alone, and learn something about democracy before shooting off his big, fat mouth.

And she basically called him a Nazi because our highly power-distributed system of government allowed her to do so. It was a thing of beauty.

9. Scorch!

BLOTUS be like

[wolfie001]

12. Hhhhhmmmmm.....

All the sudden donald the dump and his cohorts aren't so crazy for the 2nd Amendment. Nitwitted cowards everyone of 'em. Ha ha

[plimsoll]

13. He wants to send in the troops.

Inslee will say no. Durkan will say no.

He still has federal law enforcement he can send in. If he does that would it count as an invading force. Kind of like the British in Boston?

19. Donald made the same empty threat to occupy/invade/fix Chicago.

31. Trump won't do that though, he would be too afraid for his life, as he should be at that point. n/t

[SeattleVet]

14. You've already got one Washington under your tiny little thumb...

leave this one alone!

Don't you have some real work to do, like, oh, say, maybe regarding a worldwide pandemic? Or maybe get together with Stephen Miller and decide on whether your speech on racial equality will be for it or against it?

[bucolic_frolic]

20. Trump is such a Drama Queen and a Whiner

creating his own operetta ... give him some ballet slippers

[struggle4progress]

24. I'm worried. It doesn't sound like he's processing information well. Did he have a stroke?

He should leave DC and go back to NY where he can enjoy the love of his friends and neighbors in his declining years

[wnylib]

27. He won't find that in NY

[struggle4progress]

30. "If you don't have anything nice to say, sit here beside me"

25. 45 is gaslighting 24/7 and is batshit crazy; 25th time Congress?? Civil War is looking possible.

Impeach, indict, whatever. Just do not continue to let this continue. Call it out for the insanity and lawlessness that it is. He is a traitor and has totally, willfully ignored his Oath to the Constitution. I don't care how many borrowed Bibles he waves. All faux Christians that support this asshole are not making it upstairs. You have been duped, used and are apparently too stupid to tell.

[Initech]

36. I would not be surprised if we hit a civil war in the next decade.

Things are getting so tense between the two sides and the fact that we have a president who is going hard in on one side and isn't letting up, certainly isn't helping things. We are heading for some really dark times ahead.

[paleotn]

26. Fuck off, Donnie...

It's a state matter. You know...states rights and all.

[Wounded Bear]

29. Actually Trump really should be afraid of democracy...

It will end him.

[Lucinda]

32. Brilliant!

[Normanart]

33. Democracy vs. tRump

like water on the wicked witch.

[OAITW r.2.0]

34. Awesome Response. Sane retort to a hysterical ignoramus. nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. Prior to bring Mayor, Jenny Durkan was an effective US Attorney

She's not one to be trifled with.
