Trump is unpatriotic, and morally treasonable to the American public.

Amazes me is that if we used the same language as Trump does, as much as we would like to, we would be banned from Reddit.
>Hate speech, any suggestion or support of physical harm, or other rule violations can result in a temporary or a permanent ban
Many times I’ve typed out a comment and deleted it.

Somebody on Twitter copied this text exactly except substituted Donald Trump’s name for Colbert’s name and he was reported for making death threats against the president

Seriously, Trump, just get over it. He doesn’t like you, big deal – it really shouldn’t matter so much.

Yet I’m not opening Champagne when Colbert passes (hopefully not for a long time). I’ve got a flight of bottles lined up for someone else though.

Despicable to the last breath, that is Trump.
The slurs against people and chosen targets is entirely the responsibility of Trump and the cabal alongside and behind him.
Other than those who still idolise him, I for one (Uk) still respect the American public. He I hope, is a temporary stain on the Presidency. Do not loose your faith that democracy can remain a cornerstone of life there.
Speak out, object and vote as though your future depends on it – because it does!

I really hope whoever the next Democratic president is, that they talk about FOX News anchors and right wing pundits like Trump talks about everyone. They lose their minds.

I’m amused by these sorts of tirades because it feels very obvious to me that the President is just adding fuel to the fire. He’s clearly upset by the comments and jokes that Colbert makes on his show, and the President speaking up about gives Colbert’s writing staff more to play with, and draws attention to the show.

Can we stop with the “slams” bullshit? Here’s a corrected headline:
Trump ***implicitly threatens*** Colbert, calls him ‘dead man walking’ and demands CBS ‘put him to sleep’

Trump won this one months ago. CBS declined to renew Colbert’s show when the current run ends.
Even for a petty vengeful bitch this is overkill, no pun intended.

Donald Trump is a pathetic trainwreck, with no talent or anything else necessary for success. He should be impeached by the U.S. and put in a cell as he has actually gotten worse, along with his plummeting ratings. Donald is running on hatred and fumes ~ A demented man talking! Remove him and jail him NOW, it is the humanitarian thing to do!”
LiveLaughLoaded on
well since its an unprecedented time in history and our presidents a child molester and human trafficker maybe they should do an unprecedented removal from office, and take away his privledges and severance package so the kids in school down the road can read in the history books that its not ok.

I fucking hate Trump and can’t wait to spit on his headstone. Ban me.
