i'm so tired of hearing this from the media: 'this is just donald trump being donald trump'

[spanone]

we could have said that about nixon, or

pinochet, or

putin, or

saddam hussein...

1. Remember, Donald Trump is a piece of shit.

So when they say that you need to hear "This is just a piece of shit being a piece of shit".

3. i wish it sounded like that...it's more like a kindergarten teacher talking about a noisy child

[bdamomma]

2. they are

NORMALIZING

we know better don't we?

4. That

and "he's an unconventional president we just have to get used to it". Ryan spouted that one out again today.

[unblock]

5. actually, i wish the would

use this rationale to stop covering every crazy brain fart he tweets.

the campaign is over, now we need to focus on his actions and not get distracted by his inner insanity.

7. Affluenza defense.

When will this get old? When will they see it as a double standard that some of us perceive as white privilege?

[spanone]

9. or maybe when people die from his temper

[VOX]

8. And Charles Manson was just being Charles Manson.

It's a lazy, bullshit statement, no need to go any further, it's just another insane, criminally self-profiting day as only Trump himself can make it.

12. Well, DUH! Some of us were screaming from the cheap seats

that tRump is dangerous and has no business being in any place of power. It doesn't take a psychiatrist to recognize "he ain't right". And now here we are watching drama surrounding every word that comes from his mouth or put out in the world via Twitter. There have been more mini crises in the past 6 days than in a whole year of anyone else in the Presidency. It seems like every hour the news has another Breaking News banner.

We are in deep trouble here and the people who can help us are deliberately looking the other way until they get what they want from tRump. Gah.....hope we live through this.
