I wish a credible forensic scientist trained in body language WOULD publicly relate his findings on Trump; I go by instinct, but I'd like to see a scientist comment.

All I can envision with 30,537 fact-checked-verified-lies during his four years as *cough - bad* acting prez is to engrave each lie in a brick that paves a memorial road, like a shrine of what NOT to be. ‘The Walk of Shame’ where folks could step on the lies that - at one point in history- tried to keep their souls and spirits under foot. Build it and they will come, walk, and lay to rest all the B.S. I would support such an effort and project. Grateful for your unique critical perspective and voice. Appreciate you.

Well, you can either wait for the jackbooted thugs to kick down your door...or you can fight back before they amass so much power you paint a target on yourself.

Such hubris has never before been seen!

Every time he gets that kindergarten smile, you know he’s squirming inside.

I’ve just read through this entire comment section, and I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, to not find a single comment about how ridiculously tiny his hands look while mishandling that Glock. 🤣🤣🤣.

I guess that we didn't want to appear mean when all this poor sap is doing is just allowing himself to be used by some more grifters to make a couple of bucks and get their 15 minutes.

Absolutely agree 💯%. It is just so wrong on every level for Main Stream Media to not call out lies and manipulation when it's right in front of them, but profits over people is the corporate motto! 🤬

Trump holds the gun like he holds the Bible, like a wet diaper.

I was thinking grenade, but you're right.

I can't imagine he's *ever* held a wet diaper. I'm sure I'm right, and that's really sad.

This is a picture of a violation of conditions of bond-ARREST HIM!

He obviously doesn't know how to hold a gun, and appears very uncomfortable. I'm sure MAGA world noticed this, but will ignore it at all costs, and move on to the next uncomfortable "man of the people" stunt photo.

Andrew Weissman, of Enron and Mueller investigation fame, said today on MSNBC that in No. Carolina it’s a felony to just “receive” a gun. That is, taking a gun in your hand by picking it up or having someone hand it to you. He certainly did that. It was Mr. Weissman who reminded us that TFG was told by a judge to crime no more, for heaven’s sake! 😁

I like Andrew, but, Jesus, if anything he ever said came true, we wouldn't be lamenting the opposite here every day.

I love me some Andrew Weissman! Such a brilliant man, and I'm sorry I missed seeing him today. Didn't stay on Nicole's show the whole time. I just watched Rachel's interview and a bit of Lawrence. Wasn't in the mood for news today. Unless it's delivered by Miss Trump, of course; then I'm all ears!!! :)

More people need to hate guns.

“Cowards die many times before their deaths”

---Julius Caesar, by Shakespeare

Last Friday marked 26 years since my grandmother passed away. At age 76 she shared with me a story from growing up on a farm in Poland. She said her mother warned her not to go in the barn and specifically not to touch the baby chicks. But she was a child and could not help herself and one day was holding and kissing a baby chick when suddenly she realized she killed it in error. She was weeping as she told me this story as an elderly woman I said “gram you have eaten countless chickens in your life why so much pain over this one?” She replied in her broken English “killing by one’s own hand is completely different than standing by when someone else does it.”

My mother grew up on a farm and her eldest sister lived on one. My aunt grew the most delicious vegetables and, yes, chickens. When I was a child, I saw her kill a chicken that we then cooked and had for dinner. It didn’t stop me from enjoying it, but it did make me think about it. Farmers cannot make pets of livestock that may end up on their or other’s dinner table. The mother didn’t want her daughter to play with the chicks because a small child doesn’t understand how fragile life is and killing a chick meant that the family missed the eggs that chicken would produce and the dinner it would eventually become. Don’t sentimentalize that dynamic.

Thank you for your reply. We distance ourselves from food production in order to eat meat. Donald is distancing himself from the true use and need for a gun which is a weapon of death, in order to do what he does best play games with our lives. Up close killing animals and killing people is a very different discussion than from afar. I love and admire the tool and troubles of all farmers as I live in Illinois and spent 13 summers at camp in Wisconsin. I am surrounded by farms and farmers and appreciate them. The work they do is holy and must be treated with respect. And so should a gun be treated with respect so as to understand it’s power when it winds up in the wrong hands.

Lisa..I read this at the end of Yom Kippur. It’s Biblical.

Thank you for your kind reply. Hope you had a meaningful day.

Your Grandmother was truly wise.

Thank you. She was wise despite only graduating 8th grade.
