Abuse or misogyny is beside the point. With all the national and worldwide problems going on, THIS is what is on his mind? The continuing Hillary bashing and obsession with Obama, is so far from normal that we're surely losing all credibility in the world. Trump is far from even competent, yet the only problem the Republicans have is when he cooperates with Democratic leadership? The "Loyal Opposition" was lost through Gingrich, and definitely McConnell. The system is such a mess that is the greatest irony is that Trump's pissy ego fits could rebound on the Republicans. LOL! But whatever happens next will be far from funny.

we are going to get out of this. His administration is just as bad as he is except not acting like children about it. I hate sounding like a defeatist but I think we are screwed. If he wins in 2020 he will officially become a dictator and Obama will truly be the last president this country will have had. We are well on the way of being a cross between Russia and North Korea.

they do not survive together. If he and Russia can steal the midterms for Repugs and then steal the 2020 election, which is exactly what they plan to do, we are forever fucked. I agree with you that I doubt there would be any meaningful elections thereafter, we'll be a Russian satellite in fact if not in name too and our constitution will be shredded.

They don't give a damn at all about the actual crisis of so many young women in college getting attacked. Typical of this so-called administration, coddle the white guy, forgive him for anything, nothing is his fault. Women and girls, nothing but trouble makers, they are to blame for their rape, and rape is really nothing and they should just suck it up and be glad they weren't killed.

I really hate every single thing about him, there's no good in him at all. Same pretty much goes for all the people in his cabinet, if they weren't deplorable, they wouldn't be there, even the generals.

When is an online threat illegal and when is it free speech?

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/when-is-an-online-threat-illegal-and-when-is-it-free-speech/

SNIP...Anthony Elonis claimed he was just kidding when he posted a series of graphically violent rap lyrics on Facebook about killing his estranged wife, shooting up a kindergarten class and attacking an FBI agent.

But his wife didn't see it that way. Neither did a federal jury.

Elonis, who's from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, was convicted of violating a federal law that makes it a crime to threaten another person.

In a far-reaching case that probes the limits of free speech over the Internet, the Supreme Court on Monday was to consider whether Elonis' Facebook posts, and others like it, deserve protection under the First Amendment.

Elonis argues that his lyrics were simply a crude and spontaneous form of expression that should not be considered threatening if he did not really mean it. The government says it does not matter what Elonis intended, and that the true test of a threat is whether his words make a reasonable person feel threatened...SNIP

and tRump should never be used in the same sentence. EVERYONE, even the gop, knows he is demented. Alzheimers? Dementia? Just plain insane? Definitely NOT NORMAL, and this is playing out in front of the entire world. The gop managed to cover up Reagan's Alzheimers, but the antics of the orange ass this time can not be kept covered up. Yet, the gop continues to "keep it in the family" while the entire world is laughing, and incredulous. Something HAS to be done, and soon. The entire country is being taken down by a madman.

for the gop. Representative of their party. They seem to be unaware of the damage he is doing to their "brand" In the words of a REAL President "Please continue" Dear God, how far we have fallen as a country in a few short months. Soon, it will be too far to ever recover, the damage is horrendous.

This is what the Republican Party has devolved into and they really don't care. Winning is everything, no matter the cost.
