James GleickI don't think “emboldened" is the right word for this obscene and racist tirade. Perhaps one or more of the following:
Frenzied.
Violent.
Frustrated.
Enraged.
Berserk.
The Times doesn't know what to say about “Praise be to Allah," so it says nothing.
I suppose they could say, “adding a racist taunt to his obscene threat to commit war crimes against a civilian population.”
El Duvelle@gleick did Trump say "praise be to Allah"? 👀
Edit: yes he did, and a whole other lot of swearing aggressive unhinged stuff, see "truth"Social post linked in this post from @jalefkowit :

wow.. surely that kind of language is grounds for invoking the amendment about the president having impaired decision-making?

Attached: 1 image I don’t know what to say about this post (which certainly seems to be legitimate, it’s on the big wet president’s official account and nobody’s yet claimed that account has been hacked), other than it is the kind of post that under normal circumstances would prompt a meeting among the poster’s kids to talk about whether it’s time to take Dad’s car keys away https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116351998782539414 #USPol
Alessandro Corazza 🇨🇦He sure did! Maybe Dunal al-Maralago is hoping to be the great prophet who unites the Abrahamic faiths.
Chao-c'@alessandro Trump thinking he is actually Mahdi would explain a lot...

But the GOP only considers impeachment on important and critical issues, like when President Clinton lied on the stand about an affair.

Yeah, this whole thing - Trump being in power and breaking every promise, contracts, laws his country has made, destroying the planet, threatening allies, propping up dictators and wreacking havoc in the global economy, while enriching his close family and friends, is definitely a clear demonstration that the US's legal and governmental system is completely dysfunctional. This shouldn't be possible in a normal, democratic country. Why is congress not acting?

@elduvelle @stargazersmith @jalefkowit Because Congress is controlled by Republicans, paid for by the new oligarch class that also created Trump.
cratermoon@gleick I saw a screenshot with the "Praise be to Allah", and I thought it was fake. I consistently underestimate how unhinged the current occupant of the Oval Office has become.
Fazal Majid@cratermoon @gleick PBUH (Peace Be Upon Him) applies to esteemed but dead humans, sort of like RIP, not to God who is the one dispensing the said peace in the first place.

@fazalmajid @gleick apologies, I got ahead of myself
schamspeare@gleick Yeah, they are proving they just don't have the critical / linguistic acumen to intelligently assess what is going on. Either they have made the decision to prop up the Trump regime, or they are so lazy that they do it accidentally.
Randall Lee@[email protected] Maybe they don't want to feed the troll.
