1. lol

[NightWatcher]

2. Poke poke poke. Keep antagonizing and hopefully he'll pop soon.

Nice job Liz.

[SunSeeker]

7. Yup, like the nasty puss-filled zit that he is!

[leftynyc]

48. Yup

Mocking and ridicule - the fastest way to get this manchild to blow.

[etherealtruth]

3. She is a treasure ... he is one sick eff

[tonyt53]

4. Go get him Senator!!!!!

[sheshe2]

5. Tell it!

[dhill926]

6. she really knows how to poke the orange...

"losing to a girl," instead of "losing to a woman," puts it at the 8 year old level he deserves haha....

[hamsterjill]

54. She is the MASTER at punching his buttons!!!!

Love it!

[NastyRiffraff]

8. "@realDonaldTrump makes death threats"

She calls it exactly what it really is. Some people are parsing it so that it seems he didn't "really" threaten, but our Elizabeth names it: a death threat.

[Wounded Bear]

19. Yeah, really...

ask Gabby Giffords.

[smirkymonkey]

28. +1000

[GoCubsGo]

33. May that statement be posted on every media outlet around.

Good for them! Gabriel Giffords is the poster child for for what happens when politicians spew shit of the sort that Tiny Hands vomited out today.

[Danascot]

43. Yep

Gabby Giffords jumps down Trump's throat re the threat to Hillary Clinton

[SunSeeker]

9. Liz Warren know how to throw some shade.

[Bucky]

26. That ain't shade; that's a 2-ton roundhouse

Warren for the knock out

[Hekate]

10. Ex-actly: losing to a girl

[roamer65]

11. God bless Senator Warren.

May she live long and prosper!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. Yes! I love her! n/t

[trof]

12. She's trying to goad him into a total meltdown.

I hope she's successful.

[bluestateguy]

16. I thought the same thing

"Pocahantas", as he calls her, has a particular way of setting him off.

And I think that is the idea.

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. That is her mission

- to make him blow his top so completely that the republican party leadership MUST disclaim him.

[Barack_America]

45. Um. I think that just happened.

There's no recovering from this. I actually hope the GOP doesn't abandon him. Good riddance to the lot of them.

[Tobin S.]

13. She's really got his number.

That's why he will also try to weasel out of any debates with Hillary. That is if he can manage to stay in the race long enough to do so.

[eleny]

15. What a powerful surrogate

[Ellen Forradalom]

17. "Losing to a girl" is the greatest possible shame to a guy like him

She's got her finger on his shame issues.

[Maeve]

20. Add in that she's blond and the Orange One's got to be boiling! eom

[napkinz]

18. yep ...

[Trust Buster]

21. Warren's post was childish. She devalues the threat that was actually made.

[padfun]

22. I disagree

She is purposely pushing his buttons and this was the most effective way to do it.

Dems lose a lot of elections by playing it safe. It's about time we put on the gloves and try to win.

[Trust Buster]

23. This has reached the point where it is no longer a game. Trump, with his rigged election talk

and violent rebellion talk, is laying the foundation for a seditious overthrow. Warren devaluing it to be a boy who is hurt that he's losing to a girl was childish and irresponsible IMO.

[canetoad]

25. I think you missed the point of EW's tweet completely

Mature women on DU are applauding it because they understand the language.

[Trust Buster]

29. I hope you're still applauding at this time next year but I have my doubts.

[canetoad]

32. That was cryptic.

But yes, I WILL be applauding; the first female president; her team of strong supporters (including EW) and the crushing defeat of Trump.

Are you suggesting that EW's tweet put's Hillary's victory in doubt?

[Trust Buster]

37. I'm suggesting that Trump and his militia will challenge a peaceful transition of power.

[canetoad]

40. That may or may not be a given.

Explain how EW's post affects the transition of power.

[Trust Buster]

41. Because this is wayyyyy more serious than a man having his feelings hurt because he's losing to

a girl. And why refer to an accomplished woman as a girl ? Warren needs to shut down her Twitter account.

[canetoad]

42. You must be joking.

You are seriously telling EW to delete her Twitter account? Gonna play out well here.

And the term, 'girl' - I think you miss the irony.

[SheriffBob]

49. so

you don't believe in free speech?

Meh

[leftynyc]

51. Are you really that devoid

of understanding sarcasm that you don't understand what Sen Warren is doing? Really?

[leftynyc]

50. I'll put the US military

up against these overweight, low IQ imbeciles any day of the week. Like chihuahuas nipping at a grizzly.

[cwydro]

44. I doubt you're a woman.

Those of us who are totally get what she said.

[Exilednight]

62. But her statement was honest.

The truth hurts sometimes, and it's not often pretty when it does hurt.

[LanternWaste]

68. that goblin of consistency may compel one to call Mark Twain childish and irresponsible as well...

"was childish and irresponsible..."
And yet, both accurate and biting in the opinion of many others.

Horatian Satire requires trivialization of the subject and Warren is in that good company of Ambrose Beirce and Mark Twain in that regard. Bierce consistently "devalued" the sacred cows of industrialized war and the buffoonish statements of political candidates.

No doubt, that goblin of consistency may compel one to call Mark Twain childish and irresponsible as well.

[smirkymonkey]

30. Hear, hear!

I'm tired of our party always taking the high road and getting trounced because of it. We don't need to stoop to their level, but we do need to start hitting back hard.

Bullies always continue to go after the passive. That is until they get their ass handed to them and then they slink away like the pathetic little cowards that they are.

[leftynyc]

52. Well said.

[Bucky]

27. Man, I couldn't disagree with you more

Trump was being childish. Warren was telling him off-- something every breast needs

[Trust Buster]

31. You are not listening to Trump and his operatives. Their talk of rigged elections and

Violent rebellion is more serious than I think you and Warren understand.

[Bucky]

47. She called him out as a two-bit dictator and a pathetic coward. How is that NOT serious?

I have no idea what your logic is

[leftynyc]

53. Are you truly this afraid

of overweight imbeciles with some guns when the next President will have the US military at her side?

[Trust Buster]

55. It's the Democrats that are affraid here. This guy is laying the foundation for an insurrection

and Democrats are cowering. I want to take this guy on in the strongest terms. I want to meet this head on. I want massive protests outside of RNC headquarters. I want massive protests outside of the Justice Department. I want massive protests outside of Paul Ryan's office. A ridiculous tweet about Trump being hurt because he's losing to a girl is childish and beneath Warren's dignity.

[leftynyc]

56. WTF are you babbling about?

WHO are the Democrats you claim are cowering? WHERE are they cowering? You obviously don't know shit about don the con. The ONLY way to get under his skin is mocking and ridicule. He's not worth the trouble to do anything else.

[Trust Buster]

63. Get under his skin ? This guy is conditioning the radical Right to rebel if he doesn't win and you

talk about getting under his skin ? No wonder you like Warren's tweet. Get under his skin ? Getting beat by a girl ? What is this ? High school ?

[leftynyc]

64. More nonsense

You think I should be worried about a bunch of overweight rednecks with guns when the US military will be standing by the President's side? Sorry, I'm not a coward. Feel free to hide under your bed if you like.

[Trust Buster]

65. Yeah that's it. Wait until we need the military to stand up to this creep. Got it.

[leftynyc]

66. Like I said

I don't worry about overweight rednecks getting off their pathetic asses. Are you forgetting about the Secret Service? You want to head to the fainting couch, be my guest.

[Trust Buster]

67. I want to fight. I don't need big sugar government to protect me.

[leftynyc]

71. Then do like me

and arm yourself. Maybe that's why I'm not cowering like you claimed Democrats are (and you still haven't shown ANY evidence that ANY Democrat is cowering).

[Eleanors38]

59. Another expression from the 60s. The tRumpers "got their hippy on"...

Sometimes heard when when counter culture folks had enough of the insults and started to flaunt the very stereotypes assigned them: Smoking pot before the T.V. cameras (who ALWAYS looked for that), flounced about without shirt or bra, shook hugely long hair with stuff in it, shot the bird in demonstrations, wore beads of neck-breaking weight... the whole gamut. The "white collar conservatives flashing down the street" would use the expression, sometimes more sympathetic folks. Then as now, the "squares" would take violent action against the hippies, and on occasion, vice versa.

Make no mistake, Trump is "murder-mouthing," and probably wishes he can vicariously pick up some crotch stink when someone else does the dirty deed, but the tRump brigade ain't gonna try some takeover. If the "takeover" of the Oregon federal facility is any indication, even folks in supposedly sympathetic surroundings will back off ...and cut their hair a bit, and lay off the tallboys.

[LanternWaste]

69. Your concern about violence and rebellion is more absurd than I think you understand...

Your concern about violence and rebellion is more absurd than I think you understand...

[Trust Buster]

70. You mean repeating what the far right has been threatening for years ? Only difference now is,

they have someone to lead them now. I think your denial is what's absurd.

[Glassunion]

34. She's not poking a sleeping tiger

She's poking a petulant toddler. Her response was apt.

[Skittles]

38. WRONG

it was DEAD-ON CORRECT

[Festivito]

39. I can understand the devaluing a death threat to ego, but, childish to reach under skin -- no.

Trouble is though, stating that Donald is making a death threat no matter how clearly and succinctly, cuts no mustard. Stating that you contacted the FBI or the AG, that's not devaluating it. However, that's not to be reported as such until the FBI or AG presses those charges. That leaves the next best move as being to get under the perp's skin.

And, that is not child's play.

[Eleanors38]

58. Not really. There is a late-60s term for the kiss & tell threats tRump engages in:

"Murder-mouthing."

The aim is to hussle ones nuts and look tough, hoping someone else will do something violent, then shrug & casually chime in about how you knew it was gonna happen. All the while, the murder-mouthers are too chicken shit to do any of their own stink work. Warren has it right, and suggests further that Democrats should toughen up a little, if for no other reason than to dispel the myth, effectively constructed by the FR, that liberal/progreseives are too weak; you know... down there.

[DonCoquixote]

35. Ms. Warren

you just reminded me why I was hoping Hillary would step aside for you. Hillary will deserve the glory of beign first woman, but damn I have high hopes for you being the second.

[Eleanors38]

61. ^^^

[lonestarnot]

36. Roadkill pile of orange bile will spend the rest of time between now and Nov biting himself in the

neck.

[Big_K]

57. I would have said arse...

but my grasp of anatomy is weak.

[DemonGoddess]

46. K&R!

Senator Warren REALLY knows how to get under his skin!

[Eleanors38]

60. You got that right!
