At this point I feel like nothing Trump says any more shocks me, but wow, this may be his worst tweet yet.

Trump is a problem. The bigger problem is that he has so many loyalists among the voters who fawn over him and believe everything he says uncritically even when all evidence says otherwise. That's a dangerous situation. He's successfully manipulated people who are already susceptible to religious fervor into building up a cult of personality around him. If he were to issue any kind of call to arms among his followers, it would be a disaster.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Like I said before, if your first go to move is to use excessive force, before trying anything else, in a situation that wasn't even serious or dangerous, then you should not be wearing the uniform.
It doesn't matter that they didn't mean to crack his skull. The point is, they're dumb enough to unnecessarily cause a life and death situation out of nothing. And in that situation, you don't get a second chance.

If a pilot accidentally crashed a plan because of a completely unnecessary maneuver, you wouldn't want to fly with him again.

This goes along with something I've said many times to people recently.  Some jobs require experts in their craft.  Some jobs cannot tolerate mistakes.

It stems from a comedy routine by Chris Rock who said, "Ya know, American Airlines can't be like, 'Most of our pilots like to land. We just got a few bad apples that like to crash into mountains.'"

But there wont be many people left to recruit if you only go for the perfect.

Ofcourse jobs CAN tolerate mistakes but how to deal with those is what matters.

Obama was muslim.

@Trump tweet: Trump is so cool.

Lol yea I'm sure some republicans think he is more Arab (brown) than black because they think he is Muslim even though I believe he is Christian.  Not like religion defines race but in their mind being Muslim makes you an Arab. 

He is half white and half black isn't he.  So technically he is an Oreo.  He is mixed but for all purposes he was the first black president and by God (Thor) I miss a competent president.  USA would be in better standing with world and all these crisis would be handle better if we had an actual leader not someone who only panders to his shrinking base.

I am so demoralized right now, seeing how far far-left authoritarians are allowed to go

So not much of an organization then, huh? No leaders and yet they can coordinate a national city by city riot with delivered pallets of bricks in 1 night?

Since I saw a few discussions regarding the bricks at various locations across the country, I thought I would post this:

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/craigsilverman/investigating-bricks-at-protests

Most of the instances that actually went viral were confirmed to have belonged to construction projects dating before the protests while there is no evidence that they are connected to any organized far-right or far-left groups.

What authoritarians are you refering to? Can you provide any examples?
