Who does Laura think she's fooling?
In Trump's book, The Art of the Deal, he brags about being an out of comtrol violent kid.
"Even in elementary school, I was a very assertive, aggressive kid. In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye — I punched my music teacher because I didn't think he knew anything about music and I almost got expelled. I'm not proud of that but it's clear evidence that even early on I had a tendency to stand up and make my opinions known in a very forceful way."
During his rally In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on the day of the Iowa caucuses, he told his crowd of cultists he would pay their legal fees if they engaged in violence against protesters.
"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell ... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise," he said on Feb. 1, 2016.
At a Las Vegas rally later that month, he said security guards were too gentle with a protester. "He's walking out with big high-fives, smiling, laughing," Trump said. "I'd like to punch him in the face, I'll tell you."
A similar situation unfolded at a rally that month in Warren, Michigan.
"Get him out," he said of a protester. "Try not to hurt him. If you do, I'll defend you in court. Don't worry about it."

Time and time again, republicans like CruzAbbottPerry continue to prove why they are incapable of leading or governing. It's a catastrophic combination of indifference, incompetence, indecency, insatiable greed, and lusts for power.
The mayor of Colorado City, TX has resigned amid a controversy over a FB post in which he said it is not the local government's responsibility to support residents in the wake of catastrophic weather and power outages this week.
TimBoyd, who was mayor of Colorado City, made his original, typo-ridden post Tuesday morning, writing that “no one owes you are your family anything; nor is it the local government’s responsibility to support you during trying times like this! … The City and County, along with power providers or any other service owes you NOTHING!” 😲😲
Boyd continued at length, saying that he was “sick&tired” of people looking for handouts and that the current situation is “sadly a product of a socialist government.” 😲
This ladies & gentlemen, is why you never vote republican. Any questions?

Allowing Trump to run for election in 2024, would've been like allowing Nixon to run for election again in 1976.
On Aug. 7, 1974, Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., House Minority Leader John Rhodes, R-Ariz., and Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, R-Pa., made it clear to Nixon that he faced all-but-certain impeachment, conviction, and removal from office in connection with the Watergate scandal...
Nixon announced his resignation the next day, which would be effective at noon on Aug 9, 1974.
In his 2006 book "Conservatives Without Conscience," former Nixon White House Counsel John Dean wrote that the Capitol Hill trio "traveled to the White House to tell Nixon it was time to resign."
In his 1988 autobiography, Goldwater wrote that after hearing their grim assessment, Nixon "knew beyond any doubt, that one way or another, his presidency was finished."
This was back when the Republican party still had at least a modicum of dignity, decency, integrity, and a sense of right and wrong. Those days are long gone.
Allowing Trump to run for election in 2024, would've been like allowing Nixon to run for election again in 1976..
Today, thanks to Trump, McCarthy, and others, the wholesale corruption of the GOP is now complete.
The Republican Party is now led by a kleptocratic crimeBoss who ruled over the most scandal-ridden administration in history. Nixon’s administration may have been riddled with criminality—but in 1973, the Republican Party was still a somewhat normal party, that still played by the rules, so Nixon was forced to resign. But not anymore. Those days are long gone.
The corruption we see in the Republican party today can be defined as institutional depravity. It isn’t an occasional failure to uphold norms, but a consistent repudiation of them. It isn’t about dirty money so much as the pursuit and abuse of power—power as an end in itself, justifying almost any means.
