This is a tweet compilation of misogynistic comments by Trump supporters. They are the American Taliban. They really do despise women.
If you are able do open it, please do. You will find it shocking and terrifying. It is a stream of nonstop hatred for women.

Callisto: I think you are right, and to take it further, even one’s mother is/was a mere necessary convenience.
But with that in mind, I think that like many things human and even alive, male dominance has been around so long in history, that it is even baked into the relationship between one’s biology (cells and neurons, etc.), one’s psychic comportment, and one’s habits of mind–which means it’s extremely difficult expose and expunge, even if one wants to. To change, however, takes consistent and long-term development, coupled with examples of good and personal leadership, and a conscious effort to change (like ridding oneself of one’s racism when one grew up with it.)
If that’s the case, or some gradation of it (in this case, about misogyny), then what you or I might think of as relatively innocuous ideas of equality, freedom, or even justice for all, including for women or (fill in the blank), at least politically and socially, is interpreted by unchanged males, even at the feeling level, as a threat to their very existence. The interior logic goes: If women are equal, then I am nothing. In the face of such fear, women become that which needs to be killed or at least suppressed (like with the Taliban), or personally ignored (like when someone glazes over when a woman speaks in a group).
The driver is not a ho-hum abstraction or merely changing conceptual forms, but rather existential fear.
The election, in this case with Harris in the running against (the proven misogynist) Trump, will tell us just how civilized we are. CBK

Trump, Vance and their associates view women as playthings, to be discarded whenever they tire of them, and a newer, younger, tighter model becomes available.

I know it’s too late now before the November election comes to be able to pass the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact in states that haven’t signed onto that yet, and if it’s too challenging to make it illegal for convicted felons to run for office, too, as most Americans probably think it should be, then making it so that convicted felons can’t get Secret Service (nor hire on-the-job-private-protection) might at least prevent felons from running for or taking office as POTUS. There’s got to be more than one way (i.e. winning the Electoral College, especially in swing states) to prevent tRump from taking office as POTUS again, especially if he loses the popular vote –like he did TWICE before now! And I think he adores having Secret Service not just because he thinks they saved his life recently, but because they make him feel like he is still the president.

BTW, it reeeeally disturbs me that tRump has gotten away with breaking the emoluments clause so much, both from foreign dignitaries who spent tons staying at his hotels, such as in DC, and from overcharging the Secret Service that stayed at many of his locations whenever they were protecting him AND his family.

Yes, and I think you may be more right than we know: “Supreme Court dismisses emoluments cases against Trump” https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/25/politics/emoluments-supreme-court-donald-trump-case/index.html
So DOJ has a policy stipulating they couldn’t charge him for breaking any laws while he was in office, and afterwards SCOTUS told Congress it was too late because he was no longer in office. And then SCOTUS ruled he has immunity for what he did in office that were “official acts”. Influence peddling goes both ways, so maybe he didn’t just take money, but gave it, too, such as to buy key people in the GOP, including those on SCOTUS. He probably would have laundered it first, like maybe through his sons. I wonder if the NY court monitor could detect that, or if she knew what to look for? OMG!

Our federal government is shot through with corruption, on both sides of the aisle.
Consider this: when the Epstein case broke for the second time, it was widely reported that all his mansions were wired with cameras, still and video, connected, in each case, to a server room where the images and videos were stored.
What happened to all that stuff–too all those images? They have magically disappeared.
And this:
Shortly after he went to jail, there was an attempt on Epstein’s life, but even after this failure, according to the official story, security for his cell was so lax that he was able to commit suicide. BTW, there is a Christmas ornament you can buy with Epstein’s picture on it and the inscription, “This ornament did not hang itself.”
And this:
The only people invited to testify at Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial were ones whose stories had already been leaked to the press. No one else who could have named names of Epstein’s clients was invited to testify.
And this:
The official story is that Epstein earned his money on Wall Street, but no one on Wall Street recalls him doing big trades.
And this:
The press stories about him accept with breathtaking brazenness the story that he committed suicide.
And this:
Epstein’s manifests and little black book are bipartisan affairs featuring a) extremely powerful politicians, b) royalty (actual freaking royalty), c) captains of industry, d) famous public intellectuals with tenure at major universities, and e) a smattering of pop stars
It’s all been made to disappear. Poof. Like magic.

When Trump’s casinos in Atlantic City were going belly up and he was about to lose everything, no American bank would lend to him. So, he went to Moscow. And suddenly Russians started showing up at Trump properties all over the world and buying condos and homes for cash.

Why are they so afraid of him? If it’s because he’s intent on retribution, then they should privately NOT vote him, because he’s never going to know that.

Good for the Twitter community for calling out CNN! Weren’t they the ones that allowed tRump to spout lie after lie without fact checking or contesting him in the last debate?
