Joyce Vance: “This is a five-alarm fire. We know what the reaction would be if Joe #Biden tweeted a photo of a bound and gagged Donald #Trump in the trunk of an electric car. Why does Donald Trump get more leeway, especially with his past history? He only continues to get it because our institutions—the courts, the Republican party—let him take it.”

We Need to Talk About This

Today’s widely discussed Trump post on Truth Social isn’t just another instance of bad behavior. It’s not just a shrug of the shoulders and a resigned sigh of, “What are you going to do?” Far too often, people resignedly accept Trump’s behavior because they believe there’s no alternative. The zeitgeist is: We can’t make him stop, can we?

Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance

@GottaLaff

I'm glad that the talking heads are taking this seriously but what really needs to happen is for the Secret Service to follow up on every license plate in that parade, pay the owners a visit, find out if they own any firearms, and explain that threatening the life of a US president is not allowed and they'll need to surrender their weapons until after the election pending an investigation into their activities, and no, they will not be allowed to board any flights.
