Why do people expect Trump to use harsh language against his most loyal supporters?

We're kinda in stealth dictatorship mode if Trump isn't enforcing the Russia sanctions. He backed down during the travel ban fiasco but I think he'd have no qualms about effectively nullifying the entire Judicial branch by enforcing/not enforcing a select ruling.

And I think the security forces and congressional republicans would go along with him so I really hope he doesn't.

Trump also must stop the sanctions or otherwise give some massive kickbacks to Russia or he's hosed. He needs to keep them happy or clear evidence of his crimes will be leaked.

After the debacle with Corker I'm not sure Trump has the political clout w/ Congressional Rs to get away with this, especially if he didn't feel like he could after the travel ban. I don't think Republicans would let him get away with not enforcing a veto-proof bill.

It's utterly toothless, and only makes him look crazier and stupider. It does nothing but weaken him. He's making a threat that he won't and can't follow through on, and is likely to get a whole boatload of poo poo for from the very people he's threatening. The only way it can be bad is if these networks actually gave in and started fawning over him like fox news and that's definitely not going to happen.

I think he must be amped up from the rally and is feeling empowered. This hannity interview is probably going to have some hum-dinger quotes in it. I have no reason to think he won't find a way to make the friendliest interview in the history of interviews into a vicious self-own.

I have one crazy part of my family, and a lot of my family had been shifting further and further in that direction, but Trump scared off most of them and all except the original crazies have come around and realized you can't keep justifying voting for evil assholes because your insanely crazy rabbi (he is legitimately the only fire and brimstone rabbi I have ever met) says they're better for Israel.

They know exactly what it is and they like it there. The reason so many play stupid is because they have no intention of discussing it in good faith, because that would make it more likely to be torn down by whatever marginal amount.

How little do black lives matter in America? Even when you're beaten up on camera by white supremacist, you're the criminal!

The black guy who got beat up at Charlottesville is facing felony charges.

He is a criminal. He assaulted someone.

Angry_Ed posted:

Also people keep claiming there's a video of him throwing the first punch or whatever by attacking someone with a mag-lite. Frankly, even if he did throw the first punch, the idea that the Nazis were somehow acting in self-defense goes out the window when they pursued, surrounded, and beat him.

Aren't the Nazi's getting charged too?

The video looks pretty clear to me. His friend grabs the Nazi's flag and then he does some pretty good damage with whatever he's holding. He then gets the poo poo beaten out of him. He definitely deserves to catch a charge for his role.

There's one authority Ajit Pai respects above the President and it's the parent companies that control both the media and the means of distribution for it. They're the ones who've kept him in the lifestyle to which he's become accustomed, and they're who'll keep him comfortable well after he's been fired.
