"Bomb the sh*t out of Moscow"??

[kentuck]

The media reports those comments as if it was a feel-good story on a Sunday morning news show. Will they ever stop "normalizing" this dangerous rhetoric?

Making threats to dictator in charge of enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world is more than reckless. It is insane!

Just as they report on the "criminal referrals" for Comey and Brennan. That is not the story! The story is that this convicted criminal is abusing power and attempting to prosecute facts that have already been settled by several investigations and yet, he continues in his pursuit for retribution. That is the story. That is what they should report.

They are "normalizing" news events and spinning them in whatever direction Trump wants them to go. Just as in LA, with the National Guard and the Marines assisting the ICE thugs in traumatizing the people of Los Angeles, in their fake pursuit of criminal migrants. This is all unconstitutional and the work of a two-bit dictator.

1. Just to add some context: the statement made by Trump was for a 2024 fundraiser.

He just says anything that he feels will appeal to the particular audience in front of him. On Mon. it's one thing, and by Wed. it's another.
This inconsistency has been consistently downplayed by the media - which mostly pisses us off - while obviously for his supporters it's not a deal killer. Instead, they interpret or outright ignore facts if it interferes with their faith in him. He is their "wrecking ball," their Kali; but without the attendant charm. Of course we know it's harder to build up than to tear down and Trump has set our country on a path of chaos.

2. And the people in Moscow might have a different perspective on his comments?

Insanity is not a legitimate defense in this case. Lack of accountability is the problem.

5. I didn't say it was ( a legitimate defense).

That said, we can't make the Trumpers feel outrage or make the media cover Trump objectively. This whole thing was planned by right wing radicals in think tanks with billionaire support and they want to re-make this country into a techno-libertarian paradise. Rank and file Trumpers are merely their rage-virus storm troopers. Personally, I believe things are going to profoundly break down - which means security for everyone will break down.
Without the buy in of the professional classes, it is doomed to failure. On that day I'll be selling tacos, sackcloth and ashes.

6. Sorry. I was not questioning your comments.

I was attempting to add to them.

3. He will continue to be the bully that knocks down little kids

and the loudmouth that claims he's smarter than Steven Hawking and tougher than Superman until he's either beaten upside the head physically, legislatively, legally or miraculously, or he gets the mass chaos he desires, needs, and creates in order to take his place in history, ahead of Der Beloved Fuhrer.

Why?

Because he can.

Nobody is stopping him.

How many will suffer until his downfall?

4. There were multiple calls (non-joking ones) here on DU to nuke Moscow when the Russian invasion of Ukraine started up.

7. Total oil sanctions are much easier and safer route to hobbling Putin. And keep arming Ukraine. Dumb that Trump...

...is so slow on the understanding of the obvious.
