You can kill thousands of people and go to jail for 30 days.

Or if you’re a licensed pharma you can kill thousands and make millions and never even think about jail.

No, the slogan in 2020 will be: “Make America Great Again: Get Rid of Trump!”

I think a likely 2020 Trump slogan will be “Free Jared and the Trump sons!”

Great. Let’s start with the Sackler family. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/10/30/the-family-that-built-an-empire-of-pain

I know this is a rather odd suggestion, but the media should stop covering these kinds of “speeches” by Trump. All you are doing is giving this clown the publicity he craves. Yes, I know he’s the President, but he offers nothing new or newsworthy. By this point, the lines are drawn between those who like Trump, and those who hate him.

or just legalize it and treat it like non-crazy people should do

One way to cover the speeches would be to discuss what he says, with text, without showing him talk. I think that would be extremely fair, and would take the wind out of his sails.

It’s nice that he used the “his or her” for the drug dealers. Way to keep those career choices open for all 45* - another enlightened part of your economic plan.

I had cnn on but the sound off as I worked a jig saw puzzle. The puzzle seemed more beneficial than the speech. I don’t do well listening to babble from a supposed grown up.
15 minutes on script and 75 more about how great he is. Me me me me me me me me me aren’t I great??? and soooo smart??? Genius even!!! 5 minutes introducing the GOPer candidate.who you could see wanted this shit to stop already
.
trump sure admires himself…
And loves to insult other people.

Since trump insults and denigrates good people, stomps on the rule of law and generally is a buffoon… why be fair?? Yes I realize his statements hang him. But in this case it’s necessary to not* be scholarly about this. Show what he says but also be loud about it.

“He added later that he didn’t “know” whether the United States, “frankly, is ready for it.””

Well, he is idea shopping. Killing people, might not fly, not good with the demographics. Maybe a different year. heck, there might as well be an annual convention for Despots and Dictators. They can go see the latest trends and technology. Break out sessions on modern torture and extermination methods. The “Voter Suppression and what it means to your Brand” out to be a SRO. Free USB drives with the presentation and contacts list provided. It could be bigger than CES.

I’d like to replace the Presidential twitter feed with a transcript of shit that happy hour drunks yell at the bar TV. People would notice the improvement.

Would that include Dr. Joseph Greenberg? Oh wait, he’s already dead.

How I miss SPY magazine.

Another way would be for organizations to fact check these speeches in real time, but seeing how that won’t be happening soon, ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

I wonder if the first one will occur in conjunction with the $30 Million Vanity Parade™?

I’d like the coverage of Trump rallies to include the following disclaimer–

Donald J. Trump is a grifter who cares only to line his pockets.
He is a liar, a bigot, and a misogynist. This has been proven in his words and actions.
He is being investigated for colluding with the country’s main adversary and for obstruction of justice.
He shows little interest in actual governance, and is easily bored unless people around him speak of him in glowing terms.
He is mentally and emotionally unstable.
We cover him only because he’s POTUS.

Yes, in that rushed voice at the end of drug commercials. “Listening to Donald Trump may cause intense stupidity, nausea, extreme paranoia, and irrational anger … People who can actually think run a higher chance of these effects.”
