What a sick piece of disgusting shit you are. You worship a guy who has raped a 13 yo girl and you dare throw around child porn accusations. Since when has Trump cut off child abuse or child porn? Hell, he was pals with multiple child abusers, one of whom was Jeffrey Epstein. And Trump's early public praise of Epstein shows he knew about the child abuse the guy was into.

As an American, are you ashamed of Donald Trump? Eliz Primero, worked at Information and Communications Technology Donald Trump is not a problem now. We can’t blame him anymore. This isn’t about him any longer. The truth is none of this is out of character for him; the never-ending parade of verbal gaffes, hateful tirades, and childish tantrums. There is plenty of precedents. History loudly testifies on his behalf. His business practices, his bankruptcies, the wreckage of Atlantic City, his marriages, his reality TV tenure — that’s some body of work. Donald Trump has always been horrible. The problem is that, right now, 38% of America is justifying, defending, and celebrating horrible. We are sanctioning it, funding it, claiming that horrible speaks for us. We are asking horrible to lead us and represent us in the world, to steward the futures of our children. Thirty-eight percent of us are repeatedly excusing bigotry, rationalizing recklessness, explaining away allusions to violence, giving a pass to brutality. Thirty-eight percent of our people are choosing to look the other way while it’s all hitting the fan because we’ve decided that we don’t mind the mess or the smell. A third of us are shrugging off the most despicable, vile, irresponsible behavior and claiming it’s somehow what we need to be great again. And that is the national tragedy here. This election season is an X-ray, revealing something about the core of who we are. It is illuminating insidious cancer that we find ourselves presently afflicted with. It is showing the anger and racism and homophobia, and most of all the toxic fear embedded deep within the marrow of America. And a third of us are fine with this. More than that, we’re consenting to its metastasizing. Thirty-eight percent of this country doesn’t care how ignorant of the issues Donald Trump is, how untruthful he is, or how low he stoops — none of that matters. It’s all somehow fine — acceptable collateral damage of what we deem the bold moves of a rugged outsider who voices our frustrations. Making fun of a person with a disability, calling for protestors to be roughed up, calling women fat pigs, suggesting his opponent should be murdered: These are apparently acceptable leadership qualities today. This is freakin’ presidential stuff now. We’ve fallen this far this fast. This is the problem, that a third of us refuse to let facts or reality or reason interfere with how we feel, with our desire to rage against the status quo. Thirty-eight percent of us are riding this terrible train even if it’s heading straight off into the abyss because we don’t have the guts to admit our mistake and pull the damn brake wire. We’d seemingly rather save face and deal with the impending impact, terrible as it might be.

How can one say Barack Obama was a better president than Donald Trump? [ Obama is a better husband and father than Trump too. As a human being, he's far above the shitpile that Trump is. ] Easy. President Obama has never threatened another nuclear power via twitter with how big his red button on his oval office desk is. Nor has he ever said he’s in love with a dictator. President Obama read his Daily Presidential Briefings and never questioned the integrity or the sincerity of his intelligence agencies or tweeted that he was always right and that the US intelligence community “needs to go back to school.” He’s never shut down Congress for the longest time ever (35 days) simply because Congress chose not to fund projects he wanted. He doesn’t lie eight times a day or more. President Obama has never separated families by the thousands, put kids in cages and then avoid taking responsibility for the crisis he created by blaming the crisis on his predecessor the way Trump has done in blaming Obama for the family seperation policy Trump’s own administration created. President Obama has never worried mental health experts with his cognitive abilities. He didn’t waste taxpayers’ money by constantly jetting off to one of his many properties to golf on the weekends. President Obama never pulled out of treaties signed by his predecessors or called NATO and the EU a waste of money. He never shoved a sitting Prime Minister aside on live tv in order to be first in line for a photo op like Trump did to the Prime Minister of Montenegro. President Obama would have lowered the White House flag in memory of the late Senator John McCain; he would not have had to have the American Legion, the country's largest wartime veterans service organization call him to demand the President lower the flag. Nor would President Obama have ever said that he liked American soldiers who were not captured and that he disliked soldiers who were captured and became POWs like John McCain did during Vietnam. He also never publicly attacked Gold Star Families either. President Obama never paid off porn stars hush money weeks before the Presidential election in order to defraud American voters. And that’s just some of what I’ve seen from Donald Trump vs. President Barack Obama on a professional level. Don’t even get me started on the personal.

What magazines did Melania Trump do modeling for in the United States? Jill Grant, watches television and reads news From what I’ve seen, you can’t rely on any story about her. Her modeling career in the US seems to have begun and ended with her meeting, and eventual marriage to Trump. Supposedly they met in ’96 and wed in ‘05. Nine years without much of a mention besides a 2000 photoshoot for GQ. And a lot of publicity for that wedding in the major fashion magazines. Not quite as a model, more as a publicity shoot. She got her green card in 2001, she wouldn’t have been allowed to work without one. She was paid for 10 modeling jobs in the United States worth $20,056 that occurred in the seven weeks before she had legal permission to work in the country, according to detailed accounting ledgers, contracts and related documents from 20 years ago provided to The Associated Press and this became a source of contention during the last campaign. One of those jobs was at Fitness magazine and one for Bergdorf Goodman, a department store. Of course since the release of those papers everything has been shut down and no further information is forthcoming on her career. Linda Elin Melania couldn’t even get a modeling agency to represent her in New York. She was broke and out of options when she met trump. The only work she got before she met Trump was for soft porn/nude/lesbian pictures. She was never a high fashion model. She didn’t do runway or print modeling with any success. Photographers who have worked with her have said that she was much too stiff and had a very hard look. As far as we can see, the only legitimate modeling jobs she got were after she met trump. And by that time she was far too old to make money as a top model. She was never a "top model." She became Trump's "girlfriend" and that was her source of income until they married.

Polly Sigh? @dcpoll Polly Sigh Retweeted Donald J. Trump There is no ceasefire, Trump. “U.S. troops report that Turkey has violated the ceasefire 'since its inception.'” t.co Polly Sigh added, Donald J. TrumpVerified account @realDonaldTrump “The ceasefire is holding up very nicely. There are some minor skirmishes that have ended quickly. New areas being resettled with Kurds. U.S. soldiers are not in combat or ceasefire zone. We have secured the Oil.” Mark Esper, Secretary of Defense. Ending endless wars! Lying to Americans is what Trumpturds love about their Shit Lord.

Chris Van Hollen?Verified account @ChrisVanHollenMore Chris Van Hollen Retweeted Mustafa Bali Caught on tape below: Trump enabled Turkish-backed militias brag that they will behead any “infidel Kurd” they capture. Sounds like ISIS by another name. Not surprising since Erdogan allowed ISIS to grow for years. Congress needs to pass tough sanctions to stop this. Chris Van Hollen added, 0:27 Mustafa Bali @mustefabali Turkish-backed armed groups threaten to behead any “infidel Kurd” they capture on their way to NE Syria. To all those who are worried that ISIS may come back. ISIS is already back to NE Syria with Turkish protection.

What follows is a detailed nonverbal analysis of this now-famous photo, with multiple cropped close-ups. 5 replies98 retweets658 likes Dr. Jack Brown? @DrGJackBrownMore 7/ Notice President Trump's orientation to both Speaker Pelosi and the table. Both his chair and Trump's torso are leaning away from Pelosi. For him, this configuration is highly unusual. Trump's almost always leaning forward — whether he's seated or standing. 18 replies163 retweets922 likes More 8/ Moreover, the President's hands are hidden beneath the table. This too is not at all Trump's normal behavior. When he's seated at table or a desk, his hands are most often on its surface — otherwise, they're folded across his chest. What we see here is rare for Trump. More 9/ Hiding one's hands is a red flag for withdrawal, a need for protection, a hidden agenda, and dishonesty. More 10/ Donald Trump's medial (inner) eyebrows are vectored downward. The expression on his face is an amalgam of both anger and fear. More 11/ Donald Trump's body language is projecting a significantly beta and protective emotional tone. He's fearful and withdrawing while telegraphing significant dishonesty. 9 replies157 retweets956 likes More 12/ Look back at the full picture. Notice how Trump repositioned his glass forward on the table? He frequently does this with any objects placed in front of him. More 13/ This is a manifestation of narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissists routinely force themselves into others' personal spaces and take up more room in common spaces. More 14/ In contrast, Nancy Pelosi's body language is hyper-alpha. She's not only standing up — she's the only one standing. Pelosi's whole body is leaning forward — her thighs against the table. 11 replies177 retweets1,021 likes Reply More 15/ Nancy Pelosi is pointing with her most powerful finger (the index finger aka forefinger) on her dominant hand. Her arm is moderately extended — again, over the table. The remainder of her fingers and her thumb are retracted (amplifying the finger's power). More 16/ Speaker Pelosi is pointing just over the head of President Trump, seated directly across the table from her. Pelosi's eyebrows and her forehead are elevated. More 17/ While it is expressing emphasis, her face is not conveying significant anger, nor does she have an expression indicative of yelling/high volume in this moment. More 18/ Later that day, Speaker Pelosi recounted what she had been saying to the President when this image was captured: "With you, all roads lead to Putin". 19/ On Trump's side of the table, nearly everyone is either sitting away from the table or looking downward with their hands clasped (frustration and beta). We also see a Gestalt theme, with multiple hands being hidden. 11 replies150 retweets828 likes More 20/ Three out of five of the men sitting to Trump's right have their head, neck, and torsos bending forward. Quite notably, NONE of these three men are looking up. This is consistent with shame, sadness, and/or deception. 37 replies336 retweets1,348 likes Reply More 21/ Immediately to Trump's right is General Mark Milley — the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Along with his head, neck, and torso leaning forward — his jaw is clenched, which is signaling an adrenaline surge. 6 replies119 retweets868 likes More 22/ He's not only looking down, but his eyebrows are also dramatically lowered. His lips are thinned (anger). The corner of his mouth is angled downward (indicating regret and/or sadness). His fingers are tightly intertwined (frustration). More 23/ To General Milley's right is Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell. His torso is leaning backward, away from the table, although his hands appear to be on the table and intertwined or clasped (view mostly occluded). McConnell's face is not visible. 15 hours ago More 24/ Seated to Senator McConnell's right is Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan. He's also leaning forward, looking down. His hands are clasped. His mouth is foreshortened with the left corner turned downward (Sadness, Regret). More 25/ To John Sullivan's right is House Minority Whip, Steve Scalise (R-LA). He's leaning far forward (particularly his head and neck), and looking down and appears to be writing. More 26/ The man seated to Scalise's right is White House counsel Pat Cipollone (to Trump's far-right, at the end of the table). 1 reply57 retweets524 likes More 27/ He's sitting back with his torso away from the table. Although our view of him is limited, his arms appear to be crossed (defensive, close-minded, protective) and he seems to be looking at Nancy Pelosi. 1 reply70 retweets585 likes More 28/ Immediately to Trump's left is Defense Secretary Mark Esper. His torso, neck, and head are upright — the only person on Trump's side of the table with a semi-engaged posture. However, his hands are clasped. 9 replies71 retweets590 likes More 29/ Esper's behavior, both here and at other times he's appeared in photos or speaking, is significantly robotic. Behaviorally, he strives to live in the middle of the Bell curve. He avoids extremes. Mark Esper is hyper-contained and prides himself on this characteristic. 4 replies92 retweets702 likes

Tom Joseph? @TomJChicagoMore Tom Joseph Retweeted Kelly O'Donnell Guessing why Trump is cocooning in the WH for the 2nd weekend day in a row- missing out on billing the gov $100k for simply riding to a Trump golf property. -Mobility & balance issues -Working on resignation deal -Intervention in progress -Took a header, hiding bruises Tom Joseph added, Kelly O'DonnellVerified account @KellyO For a second straight weekend day, the president is staying inside the White House and an early "lid" has been called.

He's already opened the door w impeachment scedule & OpEdMore Tom Joseph Retweeted MSNBC Trump's Doral humiliation came w/ the downside of an article of impeachment, but had the upside of a distraction, free advertising & a money pipeline. Added scrutiny is another big downside. Does Trump actually own Doral & 100% of Trump Org as he claims, or is he an employee?
