https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-administration-insider-president-wanted-to-maim-immigrantsYou thought what happened on-screen during the first night of the Republican National Convention was crazy? Its nothing compared to Trump behind the scenes.
Miles Taylor, the former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, joined Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast on this episode of The New Abnormal to share the eye-watering tales of what Trump is really like when the cameras are switched off.
The national security official couldnt get through a meeting without him doing 20 tangents, becoming irascible, turning red in the face, demanding a diet Coke, spewing spit, Taylor explained. Literally out of goddamn nowhere, he'd be like, You know, whos just my favorite guy? The MyPillow guy. Do any of you have those pillows?
When it came to the border wall, Trump would dream up sickening medieval plots to pierce the flesh of migrants, rip all the families apart, maim, and gas them, Taylor claims. This was a man with no humanity whatsoever, Taylor says. He says, we got to do this, this, this, and this, all of which are probably impossible, illegal unethical, Taylor recalls, but he was writing them down as the president spoke. And he looks over me and he goes, you fucking taking notes?

(46,074 posts)I wonder if this would change a single vote. It would have his cult salivating. But are there a few folks who still believe he did great things for the economy who could be convinced they can't vote for him?
I saw a video interview with a nurse who said she disapproved of how he'd handled the virus but she'd still vote for him again. This might sway her. But how many people are there like her?

But there can be no doubt that the bottom 30% or so of his base ABSOLUTELY LOVE this kind of thing.
Those folks voted for him for precisely this reason; he wants to hurt the people THEY want to hurt, hates the people THEY hate and is intentionally cruel to...well..even them at times, but they still love him anyway.
There are millions upon millions of people who have been waiting their entire lives for a president like Trumpy to come along.
But we outnumber them, by a LONG shot, and we can get rid of him and his cronies if the good and decent people who see this crap and are disgusted by it get out and vote.

Patriotism as expressed by bloodlust and sadism. The modern GOP in a nutshell...

I got nothing against Germany. Nothing. But it was a stew then and the Trump family didn't exactly adopt American values of egalitarianism.
