I really feel bad for Baron Trump. It can't be good for him being stuck in a house with two parents in what is obviously a loveless marriage. He's already a bit screwed up just from having that thing as a sperm donor.

I'd guess that Dump is rarely around Barron and even more rarely when both parents. I'd also bet that was true before he started to run for the presidency. That said, I agree he's got a lot going against him.

One thing Trump's base knows is the Democrats' are now openly for an end to capitalism, so we are the only rational major party in the country.

How do you "know" that? Can you cite any Democratic politicians saying that explicitly? Is that in the Democratic Party platform?

This is part of the Dumbing Down of America, a GOP Subsidiary since 1980. They "know" what they know and that's their right because free speech. It's quite often accompanied by a word that they've also got their own meaning for... everyone. As in "Everyone knows....", which people who know words have learned to interpret as "I believe and I'm gonna say it often so you might believe it, too."

"Everyone knows there were five to six million illegal voters"
"Everyone knows she stole baby formula to give away with our uranium"
"Everyone knows he's a Kenyan Muslim"
"Everyone knows it was self defense; John Lennon fired first"
 
I don't get the insistence of Republicans on calling it the "Democrat" Party, instead of the "Democratic" Party. I suppose it's supposed to be some sort of insult?

But the emphasis on the last syllable and it kinda does....
 
Armed Trump Supporters March on Portland, Beating Up Opponents and Calling for Hillary Clinton’s Arrest

[blockquote] PORTLAND, Oregon—Hundreds of armed supporters of President Donald Trump, led by a fringe Republican congressional candidate, marched on Saturday, leaving blood from scattered street fights in their wake.

Ostensibly a campaign event for long-shot U.S. Senate hopeful Joey Gibson, members of his group Patriot Prayer urged the president to lock up his political opponents, including Hillary Clinton, and promised violent retribution for anyone who threatened their right to “free speech” or armed self-defense. [/blockquote]

Nothing to see here, just good people exercising their democratic rights.
 
The mere fact that neo-nazis support Trump should be enough to tell people something about how they view him on racism and bigotry. Sadly, for many of Trump's base, it does. Not all Trump supporters are racists and bigots, but racists and bigots support Trump.

I think Trumps support for neo-nazis is worse, but his supporters always pretend that it was just a mistake.
 
Trump Tweets

"California wildfires are being magnified & made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren’t allowing massive amount of readily available water to be properly utilized. It is being diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Must also tree clear to stop fire spreading!"

How dare they let rivers reach the ocean! Make all rivers the Colorado!

The Oregonian has what looks like less alarmist and more balanced reporting. Their reporting calls it mostly peaceful with insults exchanged and a group of counter protestors hit with pepper balls and stun grenades for not dispersing.
 
It's rather unusual that there haven't been any tweets put out yet this morning. Perhaps his staff has tackled him in his office long enough to say "STOP!!!"?
 
Trump should tell the Rivers not to flow - and stop the waves while he's at it.
Or do his followers think he is too feeble to do it`?
