Trump: "(Iran) is shooting protesters for just literally standing in the street." WOW! Glad that NEVER happens HERE!

Trump: "They're going out and shooting protesters for just literally standing -- not for doing anything -- for standing in the street. They're killing people."

Or lock them up with no way to trace them in concentration camps or foreign prisons.

The Crusades were purportedly a means of emptying some European countries of too many hot-headed young men.

...the MAGAts just high-five Noem for "doing a great job."

They don't care about any of the peripheral things...her boning Lewandowski, the money for the jet, the money for cosplay promo videos.

They don't care about paying for a Secret Service detail to drive Kash Patel's girlfriend's drunken friends home after a night of clubbing.

As long as libs are getting owned, in their minds, Trump and his goons can do no wrong. Even when they are.

The streets of Minneapolis might be a good start at reminding him!! His ignorant minions don’t know any of this though so I’m sure they are licking the news up. I think my body would be happy to never hear another thought he has. We blew up girls at school, shot a nurse on the streets, lied about shooting a woman in a car, gassed thousands on the streets, shipped off thousands of immigrants to jails in unknown countries, sent troops to wars with no formulated plan, let the president deal with Putin in secret making plans that kill our troops and bankrupt the country. Everything the enemy does we have already done…or worse.

If the result is that they are extremely different, the comparison apparatus is functioning. Otherwise, it's not.

He knows exactly what he's doing. It comes naturally to him: It's gaslighting/trolling and emotional abuse.

It's a bullying tactic that he uses, often in combination with projection, to silence dissent and cover up and/or excuse his own crimes.
