  1. From the article:

    Fred Trump III said his uncle, Donald Trump, said he should just let his disabled son die.

    “Those people… the shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die,” Trump told him.

    According to Fred, Trump again brought it up during a visit to Briarcliff Manor, home of the Trump National Golf Club in Westchester, NY.

    “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.”

    Fred’s 26 year-old son was born with a KCNQ2 mutation, “a genetic misfire that the doctors called a potassium channel deletion”. He is nonverbal and uses a wheelchair.

    It has gone exactly where Republicans have wanted it to go for decades now. This has been 60 years in the making

    How did the nephew handle it when Trump literally imitated a disabled person in a derogatory way? So odd people act like this stuff is new. Trump is the same person he always has been.

  4. It wasn’t all the *actions* that made him say this. It was a word. Have you not been paying attention????

  5. It’s funny that people are up in arms over Trump using the ‘r-word’ when Trump is literally dropping f-bombs left and right as president and kids growing up are seeing that as an example of how a president behaves.

    I can tell you as a millennial presidents were held at such a high standard growing up in the post-Reagan era… by *both* parties. Both parties expected the highest standards, which is why Clinton’s affair while in office was such a big deal (even though it had nothing to do with his ability to govern).

    I would say even going all the way down to Obama. Obama was held at a ridiculously high-standard to the point of criticizing his attire, his lapel pins.

    With Trump there is no low, there are no rules whatsoever. He can do whatever he wants, he can curse however much he wants, he can insult people day in and day out unprovoked most of the time. And there’s no pushback. Standards have gone out the window. Hell, he’s even demolishing the White House illegally without authority, encouraging contractors to build a ballroom glorifying him without following code… and there’s no pushback.

    Where has this country gone? It’s literally one side that has developed to the point of being entirely unrecognizable. The republican party.

    The democrats, yes they’re incompetent and have their failings, but the republicans are completely unrecognizable. Losing one party to this man who exemplifies all moral failings wrapped up in one is exactly where ‘this country has gone’. It’s quite obvious and quite apparent.

    And again, very sad that kids are growing up with this level of degeneracy being presented as the pinnacle of US politics.

    That used to be a popular word to use back in the 80’s.

    It’s hard to break old habits.

  7. well first many ignorant people voted in a pedophile and convicted felon, then he purged the government os anyone with integrity and hired yes men and women. then they proceeded to gut out democracy.

    sooooo around the electing part, though im extremely suspicious of the actual election results and the many things Trump has said and its frankly wild that there has been no investigation towards that.

  8. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.

    From their guy Jesus…
