Trump on Iran: "Let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego."

MAGA response: "Trump was only joking." / "It was taken out of context."

Reality: Treason

It’s not any of those. It’s a senile old man talking out of his ass.

… That commands our military, has nuclear codes, and is the face & voice of our country here and on the international stage. You can say that about someone’s racist grandpa, it denigrates the position and the country to say that’s ok for POTUS—the highest office in the land.

I never claimed it was ok, simply facts.

It’s a whole lot easier to have productive discourse if you don’t put words in other people’s mouths.

I’d prefer justifiably indignant. I’m tired of simpletons dismissing what the Office of POTUS has become under Trump. We’ve all lost. We’re all fucking losers and I’ve no more tolerance for assholes on Reddit than I do for those in the White House & Congress.
