Do we need a "group" for Trump (and family) scandals and crimes?

Honestly, I can't keep up!

- Malania's illegal immigration and imaginary speech writer
- Killing leopards, elephants, etc. (oh my)
- Bribes to attorney generals
- Foundations that are covers for more bribes
- Trump University
- 13 year old rape victims
- Nobody gets paid if you work for Trump, contract with Trump, or loan money to Trump

...and who knows what I've missed. These are all on top of insanely stupid comments relevant to a political campaign about walls, Iraq, bad generals, Putin, military assaults, birth certificates, tax returns, nutty doctor letters, etc.

If anyone in the US actually votes for this fruitcake they should be locked up with him. It seems like the media is overwhelmed even trying to look into so many "events" at once. I really, really hope Trump regrets the day he ever thought about running for President.

because no matter what he will have the masses of idiots who attend his rallies still supporting him in whatever he does next.

2. There's already a DU-based pro-Trump group.

OK, so not technically on DU, but made up of mostly former and current DU members.

5. I think it is repugnant to suggest that group has any association with DU

that is demonstrably NOT true. There are many sites on the internet where you may encounter former DUers along with DU detractors--that HARDLY suggests them to be DU-based or associated. You really need to delete this post, IMO

7. You're entitled to your opinion, even when it's wrong.

You seem to not be aware of the history of the site you've chosen to defend. Some of DU's supposed "progressive left" abandoned this site when rules curtailing their anti-Democrat trolling were (finally) put into effect, and that's where they went. Look at it now, a hotbed of pro-Trump rhetoric.

The people who post at JPR are ignorant fuckfaces, and I'm not going to sugar-coat that because maybe some of your friends are included.

has any kind of OFFICIAL link to DU is untruthful. Skinner, et al have NOTHING to do with the creation of that site and to suggest that DU has any kind of support for Trump is what is absolutely wrong. You should reword your post to clarify.

9. My first post is two sentences and a link. Where (how, even) did you get lost?

Is the sentence, "OK, not technically on DU," too confusing? You invented the idea of me implying an "official" link, because that never actually happened here.

10. to the contrary

your subject line: "There's already a DU-based pro-Trump group".

Your refusal to correct suggests the implication may not have been inadvertent.

11. If you're fixated on the first sentence and ignoring the second, that's on you.

I can't help it if you don't understand the concept of "context."

someone gives you benefit-of-the doubt and merely asks for you to clarify your comment.

Gee, which candidate is that most characteristic of?

I believe we are only beginning to see a break in the floodgates that have kept Trump & his criminal enterprise from public view.
Seems every couple days there is a new reveal.

Yes we need a separate Trump Group.

Perhaps a timeline or a map of scandals with a push-pin added for each, because in the end I believe we'd have built a shocking visual of global criminal business and they'd all begin & end with Donald Trump.

13. OMG...Trump's father was arrested at a KKK rally?

Yes...there needs to be a forum or something.

Every hour there is something new. It's an entire family of problems as I see it, and a map of the scandals would be really cool!!

And on the radio today I heard about Trump's apartments have a case against them for discrimination against minority!

It would be useful, because my neighbors don't have a clue!
