Why Isn't There Outrage?

[Me.]

The president accused mothers and doctors of executing newborns. WRapping them in a blanket and then deciding whether or not they live or die. Yet I haven't heard one word about this on the news or seen it anywhere. This is such an outrageous statement I can't even believe he said it, especially considering all the terrible things he has said over the years.

[unblock]

1. what's to get outraged over? it's not like he wore a tan suit or ordered fancy mustard.

[MyOwnPeace]

32. Shouldn't be here........

but one sad thing is that there are too many people (but not here!) that won't even understand the "tan suit" or "fancy mustard" business - yet they get to decide who is the leader of our country.

2. I made a thread about this exact subject this morning.

Im using an Android at the moment.

7. Test

9. I finally figured it out,thank you so very much.

[Ohiogal]

17. We also talked about this yesterday.

Where is the outrage? Will the AMA or any doctors or nurses’ groups make a public statement over this?

5. I think unfortunately people have just learned to accept that he says outrageous things

Call it outrage fatigue or whatever but he says so much so often that people have become numb to it. He'll probably say something equally as outrageous later this week. Hell last week he was threatening a border war with Mexico and talking about how the FBI tried to lead a coup against him.

[Prosper]

10. Overwhelming

He is so outrageous , dishonest and overwhelming there doesn't seem to be a starting point to charge him . His mentor from McCarthyism, Ray Cohn, who he cherished was a horrible human being. Trump says he taught him anything goes.

16. Just posted in dewsgirl's thread that this is so stupid they may be ignoring it...

hoping it just goes away. Not worth wasting ink or time on.

Over 10,000 bullshit statements from him so far-- worry about the ones that can really hurt.

[dewsgirl]

19. Thank God, Andrea Mitchell is finally covering it.

[Me.]

21. I Was Just Going To Say That

[TreasonousBastard]

30. It's been in the NY Times, too, but you'll notice it's eclipsed by the synagogue shooting...

which is a bit more important.

[Paladin]

11. How can women who have had children remain trump supporters, after insane comments like that?

Is there no limit to what trump can say and get away with? Just how much are Democrats supposed to put up with?

IMPEACHMENT NOW.

[Me.]

22. How Anout This Question Republucan Women?

12. Sad K&R

[Me.]

23. ...

[sheshe2]

26. On a brighter note...

CNN was just talking about it.

[Me.]

27. Good

Maybe Nicolle Wallace will also

13. This is rooted in a movement that supported the guy who gunned down George Tiller

in front of his family in church. This is nothing new. They labelled late term abortions "partial birth" abortions and falsely described the procedure in the 90s. Only a few committed pro-choicers called them out on it, while many others found middle ground by using it as a caveat "Pro-choice except in the case of late-term abortions"
The re-emergence of the rhetoric was predictable given the mobilization over a recently passed NY law.

14. A number of factors but most likely lack of knowledge and apathy.

I can almost guarantee that most Americans have no heard of this story. A lot of people are too busy with their lives and have tuned out all political talk in general. I can almost guarantee most of my non-political friends have no knowledge or barely heard of this story before. Furthermore, a lot of my Democratic political friends have already tune out anything Trump has said at this point.

A lot of people get there news from social media these days and there barely any coverage on it. Yes, a lot of is because of the media, but I have to say Democrats have a lot done a bad job voicing their outrage. All democratic leaders and especially all the democratic candidates should be mentioning this and hammering Trump some type a focus message, however, they are disjointed in comparison to Republican media.

15. I Believe You Are Correct

But where is the media on this

[chowder66]

18. He's said it before.

Says Gov. Ralph Northam "stated that he would even allow a newborn baby to come out into the world... then talk to the mother and talk to the father and then execute the baby."
— Donald Trump on Monday, February 11th, 2019 in a rally.

[Me.]

20. Unfreaking Believable

[chowder66]

24. It was the first thing that popped into my mind. I couldn't find anyone referencing it

and it took some tries before I could find it but there was outrage when he first said it then it faded like everything else.

[Me.]

25. WEll He Has Finally Gone As Low As He Can Go

and then he finds a way to go lower

[chowder66]

28. If he's repeating this again then he hasn't found the lower thing yet. I'm sure it's coming soon. nt

[OnDoutside]

29. You may have missed the particularly high bar when it comes to Trump.

[Me.]

31. Has There Ever Been One?

[Me.]

33. K To Keep Topic Visible

[OnDoutside]

34. Very few but the few occasions when he was forced to admit

Obama was born in Hawaii and the brief denounciation of Charlottesville, before his both sides comment.

[Me.]

35. That Birther Thing Was An Absolute Disgrace

by both he and Melania but accusing people of murder is even below that.

[OnDoutside]

37. And yet, nothing will happen, unfortunately. The longer this tosser escapes justice, the

more I'm coming round to the belief that it doesn't exist.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

36. The outrage is all on the right.

They're outraged that Dems would murder babies. Wouldn't you be outraged by this also, if it were anywhere near true?

[elias7]

38. You figure that after 10,000 lies, people would catch on?

Half of these folks eat up his lies, half know better but love that the librals get crazy pissed.

What does one do with perpetual gaslighting?
