As for 45, I almost have no Words, never thought a Sociopath Demagogue would be our President! I do think he thrives on Media attention and being noticed, and doing whatever it takes to be the center of attention, like a Child, not caring whether that attention is negative or positive.Bohemianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743017084098726581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-14256368218139131012019-07-27T12:11:22.283-07:002019-07-27T12:11:22.283-07:00We need to know what he does in his dictatorial ac...We need to know what he does in his dictatorial actions, but there’s an inordinate amount of coverage he receives otherwise. Even the well-meaning comics with their sarcasm are giving him undue attention. He long ago described capitalizing on what he considered negative press. Uncanny how he describes faults that apply to himself but he attributes them to his critics.Joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155775053108104385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-32225052534429860502019-07-27T12:03:36.677-07:002019-07-27T12:03:36.677-07:00Now, the Supremes have ruled to give the Executive...Now, the Supremes have ruled to give the Executive Branch the right which belongs to Congress to spend defense monies on the boondoggle wall.

And before anyone assumes the conservatives must be racists, etc., my friends are all good people but their life experiences have led them to see what should happen in the country differently. Both sides tend to overlook the bad stuff on their own side, which is logical I guess.

Given his relentless attacks on the four congresswomen, I can only assume that people are too afraid of being singled out and insulted in the same way if they openly criticise him.nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472673041193755894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36527891.post-2331190718591467282019-07-21T12:11:30.520-07:002019-07-21T12:11:30.520-07:00I'm hoping that the silent ones will use the b...I'm hoping that the silent ones will use the ballot box as their commentary in 2020. Right now the republicans are quiet because despite his disgusting presence and rhetoric, he is allowing their agenda to become law.

I was struck then by the parallels existing in our own country so many decades later.

Are people afraid or in his pockets or just disinterested? <br />I have been reading about the nazi power games in my country during the 1930s and their simple, repetitive methods of numbing people's empathy and sense of morals.

Didn't know he did that as a tease. <br />I agree we give his comments too much attention. It only aids him in stirring up his base.

I'm not sure what the right way to response to our outrageous president is but silence on the part of those who disagree isn't an option in my opinion. Silence to his lies so they become "facts" in the minds of his supporters isn't going to produce anything productive.
