Trump's 'Be Careful' Tweet Prompts Calls of Security for Maxine Waters

Trump threatening a female for her free speech is despicable, and would be an impeachable offense in a sane America.

He is telling Aunt Maxine that what she is calling for can be applied to any public figure. It is good advice.

BTW Trump loves Aunt Maxine. She is good for "business".

What question? You mean your straw man suggestion about "child abuse"? Here's some actual child abuse right here. Children that were given to a smuggler to cross into the US unaccompanied. An ABC news reporter / camera man caught it on tape. You'll notice the kids with no parent in sight. And when the smuggler was confronted by Border Patrol, he left the kids behind and ran.

That's what child abuse looks like Finn. Your attempts to conflate actual child abuse with your straw man argument does nothing more than minimize actual child abuse. That's truly "vile".

Whereas I disagree with Maxine Waters on her call to arms so to speak, also consider her another Dem albatross that is hanging around way past her bed time, what if she can and does energize the black vote? Remember Alabama? I wouldn't celebrate too soon.

Trump has permanently alienated the Hispanic's, soon the black people, could be slim pickings come 2020, not that it matters since I am betting that he will be Muellerized before then.

So far the takeover has meet little real push back so they keep up the power grab. I remember the sixties and seventies so know what can happen when the limit it reached.
Still should surprise me just how easy the Republican Party was to takeover.

Snowflake much?

By the way, many Dems including Pelosi are begging Waters to shut her yap. I guess they're opponents of free speech too?

The president of the American Academy of Pediatrics on Monday said President Trump's “zero tolerance” policy separating families at the U.S.-Mexico border “amounts to child abuse.”

I suspect Dr. Kraft knows far more about child abuse than you do.

I’m not at all surprised that you fail to understand the difference.

Deflection alert.

Funny how Dr. Kraft, like you, doesn't seem to give a crap about parents just giving up their kids to paid smugglers for a hundreds mile journey where just about anything can happen to them, and often does.

OK. Then explain it to me in a way that doesn't involve histrionics, if its possible for you to do so.
