Trump is functionally retarded

[Pyraxis]

It's really worrying... I feel so isolated from the insanity up here, but I'm worried for all my friends and family in the USA.

Same. My parents and little sister are in the deep south.

Posed for a photo op holding bible.

Upside down.

"Hey, look at me, I'm the fucking antichrist".

[Icequeen]

"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"

...or...in this case, holding a bible.

They even managed to tear gas a couple of the priests dispensing water and aid to protesters when they cleared the area for his little sideshow.

I can't even watch anymore. It's sickening.

This is brilliant, the bishop of that church makes it absolutely clear what she thinks of Trump.

Heck, I didn't even notice it was upside down. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I just love that Bishop's speech.  Thanks for posting that!     (for the Bish, but she isn't here , so you'll have to do )

Being as atheist as I am, it takes a lot for a Bishop to impress me.

And that impressed the heck out of me.

Maybe the Pope should take a leaf out of her book? (I know they aren't part of the same religious group, but still...)

And the police is deliberately shooting at journalists in the process.

It's fucked up.

GWB made a statement last night, not against Trump directly but regarding the situation and he has a strong personal policy of not speaking about any President that comes after him so this is actually encouraging since he's from the same party. I've been saying that more of his party needs to take a stand and say enough. This isn't even about party lines anymore, it's about humanity. So this is at least a start. Sometimes if one breaks ranks, others will have the guts to follow.

And now a U.S Military Advisor has resigned as well.

"You may not have been able to stop President Trump from directing this appalling use of force, but you could have chosen to oppose it," Miller wrote to Esper in his resignation letter, which was obtained by The Washington Post. "Instead, you visibly supported it."

For all his faults, at least GWB is human.

Some of the recent events in the USA very much remind me of notorious Battle of the Beanfield, in England 1985, when police set about New Age travellers  (including pregnant women and children)  and their vehicles with truncheons. Just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Seems like Trump finds that kind of thing inspirational.

The more chaos, the more he has an excuse and self-justification for exercising power.

Of course he does.

And here we go....I had said the other day to someone that if someone with some kind of power in the Republican party would say enough, then it would start a chain reaction. GWB started it and now we're on to #3.
