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?

@GottaLaff He is a rapist but served no time. That is part of his history. Not surprising that he does this as well.

@ccdudley85 The rape charges were from a civil trial, not a criminal trial, so he would serve no time.

@GottaLaff He apparently does it habitually but does not get prosecuted.

@GottaLaff He has gotten away with quite a lot. It forms his character.

@ccdudley85 He’s gotten away with a lot since he was a kid. That never changed. Daddy Dearest took care of that, kept him afloat, and taught him how to crime. He’s been openly racist since teh 70s at least. It only got worse from there.
