The Maggot Crowd doesn't analyze the words; they go by "feeling"

Anyway; he is "hardworkingpatreistic" and "hot". But where is that glass ceiling he "built"???

This is an aerial shot of Trump (he is at the podium) speaking in the Bronx at Crotona Park yesterday.

It isn’t 40k people. It’s like 3k max.

The conservative media told you over the top lies about this rally.

Trump’s political operation is all tricks and deception.

Wake up.

And they also showed crowds leaving, as they did in New Jersey, while he was still speaking/lying/boasting/babbling.

has a maximum capacity of 2300 bodies. And many were leaving shortly after they got in because he was talking bullshit as always. 3,000 maximum with almost half bought/hired via Craigslist. Look it up.

And then there was Jimmy Carter who promised to always tell the truth to the people on taking office - so the press focused on every statement he made, looking for some hint of untruth. And now we have entire TV channels who do nothing but repeat TFG's lies - and the deluded believe them because they heard them on their "news!"

Have always thought if our grade schools and high schools had required "Critical Thinking Skills" classes,
it would not only make them better students, doctors and engineers but nobody would ever vote R again.

While I was never a fan of Reagan, "the party of Reagan" is the opposite of what it once was. Reagan was a supporter of immigration, acknowledging that this is a country built by immigrants, said so in his speeches, while TFG threatens to deport every immigrant in his recent speeches.

Reagan was extremely tough on Russia (I was there with my grandmother's peace group during his administration) and he made things difficult for Gorbachev who had instituted more progressive policies (glasnost and perestroika - openness) - but in a reaction to Reagan ("Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" ) the Soviet hard liners forced Gorbachev to scale those policies back. TFG "loves" murderous dictator Putin, yearns have the same power (and wealth) that Putin does.

And we know that while mass shootings are out of control, TFG supports the NRA - while Reagan joined the living former presidents (Presidents Carter and Ford) in supporting President Clinton in passing the Assault Weapons Ban.

I really don't get it. How can anyone actually support this offensive blowhard - who does nothing but lie and spread violence and hate?? Back during the 2016 campaign I couldn't wait for the election to be over so I'd never have to see or hear from him again...

indomitable woman there engaging with the maggots. She was braver than the entire crowd of fakes who tried to get the press to buy into the lies and that magats "love the opposition". As an aside... How come shootings only happen at bars and schools?

Using the military to attack the populace. In Roman times that is exactly what happened. There are corporations with what amounts to private military. That is a problem. But coming from him? They are the ones who would do just that. It is like there is some weird code that they have to tell what they are doing. I wonder what pizza joint they met up with Epstein at?
