Trump's Most Deranged Speech Yet?

Donald Trump went off-script today in his speech at Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland. It may have been the most deranged speech he has given yet (in addition to making out with the American flag -- I pity the poor thing.)

"Mothers who love their daughters give them massive amounts of birth control pills, because they know their daughters are going to be raped on the way up to our southern border. Think of that. True story told to me by the Border Patrol. Think of how evil that is."

..."They are embracing open borders, socialism, & extreme late-term abortion...lawmakers in NY cheered as they passed legislation to allow babies to be ripped from the womb of their mothers. Right up to the very moment of death... the will execute the baby."

If you had any doubt that the United States is leader-less and running on empty,this speech is all you need. [More...]

As for the economy and jobs, if we're doing so great why did the parent companies of 465 stores -- from Gap to J.C. Penney, Footlocker and Victoria's Secret announce in the last 72 hours they are closing? All but Footlocker said they missed their last earnings goals. That makes 4,300 store closures just in 2019 -- and it's only March 2. The retail apocalypse seems real to me, and that's a lot of jobs to lose.

Do his under-informed rally attendees care? Of course not. They just want to shout "lock her up" like it's 2016 again.

to deflect detention from his 2020 campaign which has been geared up and running in all his hotbed places for months. His former website builder and digital director from 2016 (hand picked by Jared) is in charge, with Eric Trump's wife right up there with him as the "face" of the campaign. That's where people should be directing their attention, not this crazy antic stuff he's doing on purpose.

Had we as a nation dealt with Nixon's criminality as we should have, and not have to suffer from Ford's bullsh*t "long national nightmare" nonsense, then the world we live in today would be quite different. The Republican Party is a fully criminal organization that has never had a whit of interest in civil governance. The Dems are financially corrupt and devoid of almost all political imagination, but the Repubs are the mafia. The end.

The entire political class has been a fraternity/protection racket for.....well, forever. With the goal of maintaining power while preserving a veneer of rule of law and represenative government.

Trumps biggest mistake, and possibly the one good thing he ever did in his miserable life, was to rip that mask off.

It's the one thing that can not be tolerated. By the brotherhood.


Is There Any Way to Fix It? (none / 0) (#36)
by RickyJim on Tue Mar 05, 2019 at 09:41:18 AM EST

Besides a brand new US Constitution? For example, according to Article 5 of the current document, there is no way an amendment can change the current undemocratic body known as the US Senate. Much more real choices in elections are needed.


A new Constitution (none / 0) (#43)
by ragebot on Tue Mar 05, 2019 at 03:36:49 PM EST

would be almost impossible absent something like a second civil war and splitting the US.

The Senate was set up the was it is so smaller states would join the union, something they would not have done other wise.

Many of the founding fathers had a real problem with unfettered democracy and thought there should be buffers between the voters and which pols would be in control of the government.

Not to mention the constitution was set up so it would be very hard to change with a simple majority; it would take a super majority.

Maybe the biggest difference between when the constitution was written and now is how big government is viewed. Back then the government was suppose to provide for national defense and ensure individual rights; nothing about the many social programs that exist now.

There are still lots of sparsely populated parts of the country (that make up most of the land mass) that want less government; not more. While densely populated places like big coastal cities want bigger government.

In the 1960s Daniel Borstein wrote a book, The Image, which described, among other things, how the US had changed from having a single national purpose to multiple national purposes; many of which were in conflict.


Don't let the door hit them ... (5.00 / 2) (#45)
by Yman on Tue Mar 05, 2019 at 05:45:42 PM EST

Frankly, I could care less that "many" of them didn't like democracy. The same white, male landowners who didn't allow women or African Americans to vote wanted to keep power to themselves. Not surprising, but it shouldn't determine our interpretation of democracy today.

Wow. Providing for a national defense was one of two, primary objectives, yet they didn't even have a standing army/military budget?!? Good to know we should reallocate that $700 billion we're currently spending on the military. Think of all the actual good we could do ...

That's nice. The problem is, "land mass" means nothing. Dirt isn't a citizen. Tumble weeds don't vote. People, OTOH, do vote and one person's vote should not be given greater weight (in the Senate, the House and the White House) than another person's vote. Frankly, I'm sick of supporting all these mooching, conservatives from red states that take a disproportionate share of federal tax dollars while complaining about "big government!" If they want to leave ...

... let 'em.

by BGinCA on Tue Mar 05, 2019 at 05:11:08 PM EST

Please do not skip over the role of preserving slavery in creation of the electoral college. Small states were by and large slave states and had their voting population increased by adding three fifths of their slave to their voting (Electoral College)strength. Almost half the population of the Carolinas and Georgia were slaves. The first 5 presidents of the US were slaveholders.

Free states compromised with slaveholders in an attempt to get them to join the US. Nonetheless, eighty years later these states fought to destroy that Union and today still have an unbalanced influence on our polity.

It was about money and misogyny. Timely.

If I developed premium miniseries I would be all over that.

He wrote his now-classic play "The Crucible" in response to the McCarthy-era witch hunts, but it's long since taken on a rather timeless quality. The 1996 movie version with Daniel Day-Lewis, Joan Allen, Paul Scofield and Wynona Ryder was actually quite good.

by jondee on Tue Mar 05, 2019 at 07:09:55 PM EST

it was a commonly held belief that if you doubted the existence of sorcery and the summoning of malevolent spirits, you were calling into question the infallibility of Holy Scripture and therefore calling into question the very existence of it's infallible author.

So you could be treading on very thin ice if you had a mind to attempt to defend the accused by injecting 'common sense' and rationality into the discussion.

a few nights ago about 1690s Boston cloth merchant and pamphleteer Robert Calef, who was Cotton Mather's chief nemesis in the wake of the witch trials.

In the ensuing war of words and charges, Calef was the "have you no decency, sir?" guy of the 1690s, who contributed to exposing the hysteria for what it was.
