After everything I just can't believe

Even after everything we’ve seen from the current occupant of the White House, I just can’t believe that I live in a country where the leader of the nation and the free world mocks protests against him by posting a video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens. I mean as much as I’ve ever disagreed with many Republicans I never thought they’d stoop to such childish behavior. And to act like he’s the king and shitting on the peasants is quite a message to be sending.

I read that paper every day and I am hyper conscious of any pro-trump sentiment at all. In fact, I LOOK for it, I am suspicious. I don't think they are dedicated like we are but most of what I read there is fairly straight. They do have pro-Trumpers but I can weed them out fast every morning and sometimes go on DU and complain about it.

Functional adults don't behave this way. It's gotta be getting weird being a trump voter and watching his brain melt in real-time while they have to stand there pretending his Pampers posts are indicative of a "stable genius rescuing them from thought and ideas"

They own it, too. No calling him out, no distancing. The stench is on all of the Republicans, too. I’m ashamed of that video as an American. No Republican is ashamed of the man they chose to serve as their leader? And we were supposed to feel badly because Secy. Clinton termed some of them deplorable? Puh-leeze.

so him and his sick sycophants can invoke the Insurrection Act to remain in power to keep serving putin's interests.

So, in order to "spark" just a start of a violent rebellion (not peaceful protests but a real violent one like J6), that's what he thinks can "spark" one.

He flaunts every law, every rule of decorum. diplomacy, sanity and ethics. He is a thirty-four times convicted felon, sexual assailant, and yet he feels he is above the law, and unfortunately, up to this point, has proven that to be the case. I cannot believe we have such a despicable creature as our president. What the pure unconditional hell...?

He is far more dangerous than that. The AI video of him wearing a crown and dumping poop was actually brilliant. It (childishly) ridiculed the protest movement using satire to strike at the heart of its message. For his followers it provides humor and makes the protests less serious. For us, it riles us up and changes the topic.

One of these days our elected leaders will figure this out and how to create a foil for his tactics. Newsome has come closest, but even he misses the mark most days.

and that means just like 2 yo's, they feed off each other. Who can be the most asinine and stupidly offensive. Potty jokes are the love of just older than toddlers... we know what the mental age is now of EVERYONE in our government. Is it surprise we're going to end up ranked last... or at least, near last... in a list of countries for where people want to live?! I mean, if I could physically (and had the money) I'd basically give up and move elsewhere right now. This government ended for me back in Nov 2016!

Probably doesn’t even remember half the crazy stuff he posts online … all done on impulse, erased from consciousness a few minutes later. In earlier decades he’d be shit- dialing his critics in the middle of the night. Now it’s the Internet.
