The asshole-in-chief has crossed a line that we, the media and the American people need to recognize as being disqualifying of the office. We cannot allow such bigoted lunacy to be subsumed into the general excuses made for the asshole, ie: he's not a politician, he's different, people wanted change, etc.
And that means that any supporter of tRump on any level needs to own tRump's crassness and bigotry as their crassness and bigotry. No more excuses for the followers. No more of the "he just says things" bullshit as a "get out of jail free" card for the follower.
You support tRump, you support his bigotry, and that support is 100%. The reason? Because tRump is simply stating beliefs that you hold as well. Period.
Mitch McConnell? Yep, he believes Mika's face was bleeding. Hardee-har-har! Paul Ryan? Yep, it's a laugh riot that tRump said Mika has a low IQ. Susan Collins? Yep, you're laughing along with the boys' club. American people in flyover country whose "common sense" leads them to support tRump? You are fucking bigots.
That's it. The country, the press, the world needs to say "enough." We are done with this asshole. Period. And that "enough" needs to be applied to the supporters of the asshole just as clearly as it is applied to the asshole.

We need to understand that.
BTW, he was not elected, the election was stolen and it is time to do something about that.

Mika was clearly bleeding from her "wherever" just like Megyn Kelly was.

(24,378 posts)Even if she had gone on an overblown anti-tRump rant, a person who has any empathy for their fellow human beings would have held back on attacking her at such a time.
But tRump has no empathy, no class, no semblance of humanity.
