In a civilized society it would be fine. Unfortunately the way this country is these days - yes - it will mean attacks on them and their family.

I was just thinking the other day that it's pretty likely in my opinion that a politician gets murdered soon. That part I'm fairly sure about. What I haven't figured out yet is whether or not anyone will really care.

Elected politicians are one thing, but "rank and file" are not political appointees, they are career civil servants and not Trump cronies. Threatening them for not quitting is fucked up.

Trump's out here retweeting stories about Rep. Omar marrying her brother this morning. Just a fucking banner week.

Anybody see the picture of him grinning with a thumbs up next to Melania, WHO IS HOLDING A BABY THATS PARENTS WERE SHOT AND KILLED?

What the fuck is wrong with this guy?

Saw that this morning. Obviously, he’s thinking “it’s working. It’s working!”

that baby is on horse tranqs or something because they do not do pain.

The dude on the left fingering Trump's butthole is the kids MAGA Uncle. Apparently the kids dead parents were MAGA too.

maybe its just a "baby is doing well thumbs up" ?

Maybe he's showing the Uncle what finger to use?

He's the textbook example of a psychopath.

1. Uncaring
The PCL describes psychopaths as being callous and showing a lack of empathy, traits the PPI describes as “coldheartedness.”

Forget about presidential behavior, I don't understand how any normal human being with feelings could behave the way he did in front of the cameras. And then to see a behind-the-scenes video talking about his crowd...it's just undeniable that Donald Trump is an uncaring individual with no empathy. He can't even feign it when it's probably the easiest way for an unpopular president to curry good favor with the citizenry. He just isn't capable of it. To use one of his favorite words, it's really SAD!

2. Shallow Emotions
Psychopaths and, to a degree, sociopaths, show a lack of emotion, especially social emotions such as shame, guilt, and embarrassment.

3. Irresponsibility
According to Cleckley, psychopaths show unreliability, while the PCL mentions “irresponsibility,” and the PPI describes psychopaths as showing “blame externalization,” i.e. they blame others for things that are actually their fault.

4. Insincere Speech
Ranging from what the PCL describes as “glibness” and “superficial charm,” to Cleckley’s “untruthfulness” and “insincerity,” to outright “pathological lying,”

5. Overconfidence
The PCL describes sociopaths as possessing a “grandiose sense of self worth.”

6. Narrowing of Attention
According to Newman and his colleagues, the core deficit in psychopathy is a failure of what they call response modulation (Hiatt and Newman, 2006). When most of us engage in a task, we are able to alter our activity or modulate our responses, depending on relevant peripheral information that appears after the task has begun. Psychopaths are specifically deficient in this ability, and according to Newman, this explains their impulsivity, a trait which shows up in several of the lists of criteria, as well as their problems with passive avoidance and with processing emotions.

7. Selfishness
Cleckley spoke of his psychopaths showing “pathologic egocentricity [and incapacity for love],” which is affirmed in the PPI's inclusion of egocentricity among its criteria. The PCL also mentions a “parasitic lifestyle.”

8. Inability to Plan for the Future
Cleckley's psychopaths showed a “failure to follow any life plan.” According to the PCL, psychopaths have a “lack of realistic long-term goals,” while the PPI describes them as showing a “carefree nonplanness.”

9. Violence
The criteria for dissocial personality include a “very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence.”

So yeah. I don't see how any rational person couldn't look at the evidence before them and not come to the same conclusion. He's just fucking garbage, and an embarrassment to all Americans. I'm sure once this is all behind us there will be general consensus on how awful he was, but I'll always remember how much respect I lost for people I cared about because of their continued support for him.

Aristotle may have noted humans as a rational animal but in modern-day 2019 I think the jury may still be out on that one.
