Is that before or after he forces all the gay people to be straight....I find it interesting. I've met my share of paranoid lunatics on the right and we have the good sense to ignore them. If you're paranoid and believe in conspiracies you're an intellectual on the left.

The Power of the Dark Side
Darth Sidious (Insidious)
"...she all but called (him) insidious."

I refer to Trump as another Star Wars character,but, Darth Insidious is a much more appropriate reference.
Trump and his snide insinuations.
Trump and his unrelenting efforts to insinuate himself into the political sphere.
Sheev Palpatine becomes Senator Palpatine of Naboo.
The manipulative Senator becomes the Supreme Chancellor.
"A prominent voice, Anakin Skywalker, insisted, “We need a system where the politicians sit down and discuss the problem, agree what’s in the interest of all the people, and then do it.” And if they didn’t, “they should be made to.”
"Eventually, something far worse happened. The legislature voted to give “emergency powers” — essentially unlimited authority — to the chief executive. An astute observer, Padme Amidala, noted, “So this is how liberty dies . . . with thunderous applause.”
We can’t really know what Trump would do as president, and for over 200 years, U.S. institutions have proved to be spectacularly robust. In our country, any question about the potential death of liberty — as occurred in a galaxy far, far way — seems wildly excessive. But here’s a lesson from “Star Wars”: That’s an essential question to ask.

Since Trump is a "public person", libel laws in, I'm sure, any state, would not apply to comments made about him.
Perhaps you could allow the real world to inform your questions?

You've got that the wrong way around (what a surprise). The more public you are the more latitude that's given legally in criticizing and badmouthing you.
You're pretty stupid not to realize that considering what vile people like you have said about both of the Obamas and gotten away with.

I agree. It's going to be a mark of success, getting a tweet rant from Trump. A bit like being a guest star on the Muppets show used to be the mark of success back in the day.

*tip of the hat to Sean the Northerner*
The presidential campaign may have ended, but the practices that won over the alternative Right Wing and the attention of the media, did not.
Why stop doing something, if it works in your favor ?
The Democrats showed Trump up, and made him look bad. Why should the truth matter ? The media feed is happy to help Trump push the truth off the page if Trump offers something "controversial." So, Trump fills the sausage tube with exciting nonsense, and it pushes the real meaty items, out. Trump has a whole production team for this purpose. Many mouths, many faces, all to echo the Trump brand of infotainment. Trump always has something"next." The newest, and most attention grabbing outrage or lunacy.
Half a million woman and supporters marching to protest Trump's thoughtless and harmful decisions. Pffftttt. All he needed was a Trump Troll to appear before the public, and embarrass the USA in front of the world. Yes, Spicer is Trump's Version of "the best" that Trump has to offer.
*wince* *grimace* *shudder*
Sean Spicer Attacks The Media Over Reports On Crowd Size At Insane First Presser
1/21/17
He (Spicer) spent the first 5 or 6 minutes literally whining about, you guessed it, the media being so unfair and lying and mean. Not only did they lie about the size of the Inauguration, which was definitely, positively, zero doubt, the biggest ever known the man because every living person on earth was there, but he said the photos were wrong.
Sean Spicer wants you to believe that the one on the right has WAY more people but it doesn't look that way to our foolish eyes because of that white tarp down on the floor. That makes 90% of the people invisible, see? It's a magic trick and the media just didn't get the memo. So really, there were 1,500,000 actual life size humans there.
The people making tweets about Spicer's strange performance have a good point. This is not entertaining crazy people on the campaign trail. Spicer is at the White House, on the podium and facing the international stage.
http://crooksandliars.com/2017/01/se...a-over-reports
CNN kicks in some information and observations-
Spicer said, without any evidence, that some photos were "intentionally framed" to downplay Trump's crowd.
He also expressed objections to specific Twitter posts from journalists. And he said, "we're going to hold the press accountable," partly by reaching the public through social networking sites.
His statement included several specific misstatements of fact in addition to the overarching one.
"This is the first time in our nation's history that floor coverings have been used to protect the grass on the Mall," Spicer said, claiming that this "had the effect of highlighting areas people were not standing whereas in years past the grass eliminated this visual."
In fact, coverings were used for Obama's second inauguration in 2013.
"This was also the first time that fencing and magnetometers went as far back on the Mall, preventing hundreds of thousands of people from being able to access the Mall as quickly as they had in inaugurations past," Spicer said.
In fact, a United States Secret Service spokesperson told CNN, no magnetometers were used on the Mall.

According to witnesses, Spicer allowed no questions, answered no questions, he just ran away after had a loud conniption fit.

Thousands waited in vain in a line that snaked hundreds of yards around the 1,500-seat Gallogly Events Center. More watched in an overflow room, as well.
Trump said it was not his fault and that the fire marshal must be a Clinton supporter.
The fire marshal that Donald Trump criticized for capping attendance at his Colorado Springs event on Friday responded later to a local television station.
Fire marshal Brett Lacey told 11 News the problem was that organizers handed out too many tickets.
Criticizing the fire marshal on Friday, Trump said he (Brett Lacey ) didn’t know what he was doing.
Someone wrote in to the Denver Post to voice their opinion-
"I heard Donald Trump’s rant about his gathering in Colorado Springs last week. It seems the crowd got too large and the fire marshal would not let any more people in. Trump blasted the fire marshal and said that “he represented what was wrong with America.”
"No, Donald, he was doing his job."
"Whenever Trump does not get his way, he typically lashes out in juvenile fashion. How will he behave as president when he doesn’t get his way with Congress or the Senate or a foreign dignitary, which will happen frequently? I can only imagine. Being an immature bully, he has never learned to compromise on anything. God help us if he becomes president."

In Trump, the GOP has found a megalomaniac, that cares less about people , than they do.That is what I find chilling.
In the Women's March, I perceive an effort to reclaim equilibrium and a sense of sanity.
To shake off toxicity. To find hope.
People flocked to Trump's allies to become intoxicated.
Trump fed them bits of toxicity, to keep them excited.
Giving too many tickets served double duty. It bolstered the image of Trump's popularity. It goaded the crowd to develope negative feelings for the fire marshal.
Trump led them into venting about their immediate experience, and led them deeper into venting. People of deeply religious regions, they were accustomed to venting about "The Devil!"
Trump offered them a different variation of the religious ritual. He led them into wishing evil onto another human being. Trump built this upon the toxic work of Republican hatred, manufactured in Washington DC. Comey's snarling face told the story, as he hurled accusations at Hillary Clinton.

Good link!
Thank you.
Ah
I am reminded, and am happy to revisit an example of slime swimming, by Congress.
Congress moves to give away national lands, discounting billions in revenue
Though recreation on public lands creates $646bn in economic stimulus and 6.1m jobs, Republicans are setting in motion a giveaway of Americans’ birthright
19 January 2017
Republican lawmakers have quietly laid the foundation to give away Americans’ birthright: 640m acres of national land. In a single line of changes to the rules for the House of Representatives, Republicans have overwritten the value of federal lands, easing the path to disposing of federal property even if doing so loses money for the government and provides no demonstrable compensation to American citizens.
Utah Republican representative Rob Bishop, who has a history of fighting to transfer public land to the states, says that federal land is effectively worthless. Transferring public land to “state, local government or tribal entity shall not be considered as providing new budget authority, decreasing revenues, increasing mandatory spending or increasing outlays.”
We didn’t see it coming. I think it was sneaky and underhanded. It exemplifies an effort to not play by the rules,” said Alan Rowsome, senior director of government relations at The Wilderness Society. “This is the worst Congress for public lands ever.”

Will Trump open National Parks to private sale of public lands ?
Will Trump privatize the land on Native American reservations ?
One fifth of energy reserves are on Native American lands.
Antiquities Act
Obama's record-breaking creation of national monuments is an enduring gift
Obama has now added 29 to the roster
Hard to unmake monuments
Though many have been highly contested, it appears that no president’s monument designation has ever been undone either by a successor or by Congress, and there’s nothing in the Antiquities Act specifying how that could even be approached.

How will Native Americans protect their land, water, and air, if the National Parks land is sold to private corporations ?
January 24, 2017
“The Indigenous Environmental Network is extremely alarmed with President Donald Trump’s announcement of the two Executive Orders setting the stage for approving the dirty energy pipeline projects of the TransCanada Keystone XL pipeline and the Dakota Access Pipeline.
“The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and other Sioux Tribes, as sovereign Native nations, were never consulted by Trump or his Administration on this decision that further violates the treaty rights of the Lakota, Nakota, Dakota people. Trump is portraying his true self by joining forces with the darkness of the Black Snake pipelines crossing across the culturally and environmentally rich landscape of the prairie lands of America.
“These actions by President Trump are insane and extreme, and nothing short of attacks on our ancestral homelands as Indigenous peoples. The actions by the president today demonstrate that this Administration is more than willing to violate federal law that is meant to protect Indigenous rights, human rights, the environment and the overall safety of communities for the benefit of the fossil fuel industry.

Alan Rowsome from the
The Wilderness Society
speaks on privatization
Rowsome argues that’s a populist message without any popular support, pushed by a small faction of legislators with support from industries like mining and energy. Despite the Republican message that Washington has overstepped in designating national parks and monuments, a 2016 study found that 95% of the American public believes that National Parks are worth protecting and 80% said they’d be willing to pay higher taxes to do so.
“Western Republicans that are perpetuating the idea are very well funded by the oil and gas industry during their campaign,” Rowsome said. “It’s special interests wielding power for an agenda that will advance their goal. Nearly 90% of BLM lands are already open, but they can’t stop trying to get more.”
A 2016 Colorado College survey of seven western states found that 60% of voters rejected both the sale of public lands to states and giving states control without sale.
