There is so much hatred pointed at trump now. I want to know what is wrong with the people still worshipping him? What is it going to take for them to see the evil in him? Also, the Heritage Foundation is propping him up so that those people can destroy our country! I have said it before, they are a hate group that want to turn this country into an oligarchy! They are a threat to us and they need to be held accountable in all of this as well as trump!

I think you are spot on and it is time that the media gave Trump gut punch after gut punch and stand up to that cowardly bully. Appeasement never works and I am so glad you stated that fact. CBS should fight him and win over his 60 Minutes lawsuit that is so frivolous. Trump is not only the Executive Branch, but he has also become the Legislative Branch because the cowardly Republican Majority in Congress is afraid of him. Now he is going after the Judicial Branch and if he wins that battle it is over for our Democratic Republic. The Supreme Court should have held him in contempt when he refused to follow their 9-0 decision that he had to return all those people he sent to El Salvador. When he publicly stated that he would not he should have been in contempt of court but those cowards didn't do anything. We are in one Hell of a mess!!

What he said on news program tells me he’s a sick human who no one should listen to. He said “ I am the ruler of this country, I am the ruler of the world”. This psychopath needs locked away in a straight jacket.

Neville Chamberlain would be the best source to answer this question; however, as we know, he died before realizing the full consequences of his decision.

Adam Kinzinger wrote an interesting piece today showing how anyone who wants anything from Trump must grovel before him like a subject would grovel befoe his king. Any time I see a news outlet trying to negotiate with this subhuman we now call president, I get deathly sick to my stomach. All of them should take a page from China's book of not cowtowing to this creature. I am truly ashamed of a company having once had the prestiget of Paramount and losing it - for what? Greed! I want what I want when I want it, and I'll even grovel to get it.

Is it okay to write what I really want to say, or should I let y'all review it first?

We're fast losing our rights to free speech. May as well just say it now while you can.

Appeasement to a dictator has never worked. If you don't believe it, ask the descendants of those who survived the Holocaust.

I wish I had seen this before I wrote Judge Dries this morning about the warrant he signed for Judge Dugan because I would have included it.

Don’t the rich and powerful

Appease in hopes that they will become one of the inside few considered “a friend”? Don’t they hope that they will become an

Oligarch of sorts? They ignore all of the people Trump has had in his inner circle that have been destroyed by the demands Trump makes on them. The Michael Cohens, Rudy Gulianis, banks that were never repaid, Mike Pence’s, even Jeff Sessions. It is a longer list than my memory.

It has never worked before and we need to recognize and remember that without rationalization.

It doesn’t work! You have to smack down a bully! Not let him bully you!

Exactly, Marg. Appeasing a mob boss like Trump is a fool’s errand, as he will just demand more, more, more. Once he “owns” you, you’re doomed.
