Trump's latest rally rant is much more alarming and dangerous than usual (Cue spooky music)
The Eagle ^ | August 31, 2018 | Greg Sargent, The Washington Post

At his rally on Thursday night in Indiana, President Donald Trump unleashed his usual attacks on the news media, but he also added a refrain that should set off loud, clanging alarm bells. Trump didn't simply castigate "fake news"; he also suggested the media is allied with special counsel Robert Mueller's probe - an alliance, he claimed, that is conspiring not just against Trump but also against his supporters.

"Today's Democrat Party is held hostage by left-wing haters, angry mobs, deep state radicals, establishment cronies, and their fake news allies," Trump railed. "Our biggest obstacle and their greatest ally actually is the media."

In case there is any doubt about what Trump meant by the "deep state" that is supposedly allied with the news media, Trump also lashed out at the FBI and Justice Department, claiming that "people are angry," and threatening to personally "get involved."

Robert Chain, who was arrested earlier this week for allegedly threatening to murder journalists at the Boston Globe while mimicking Trump's language, also connected Mueller's investigation to the media. "You're the enemy of the people, and we're going to kill every f-king one of you," Chain snarled into one employee's voicemail, according to FBI documents. "Why don't you call Mueller, maybe he can help you out."

Trump surely knew about this arrest when he repeated his attacks on the news media Thursday night - and when he connected the media to the Mueller investigation....

“Dick” Sargent passed away many years ago, probably who you were thinking of.

Trump’s supporters have been intimidated and threatened at every rally and there have been hundreds of attacks on them, maybe thousands.

"...But no, they have to be dragged kicking and screaming [and bleeding badly from several wounds] back to reality."

Slight adjustment for potential prophetic accuracy... lol.

There is a (so far) bloodless coup being attempted by the RAT party and their allies in the Justice dept and intelligence agencies. But Trump’s rhetoric is the problem.

The big political question of the moment is how far Trump will go in undermining our institutions and the rule of law as the walls of accountability close in around him.

Trump has lost the public argument over these matters badly.

Does the writer of this gibberish remember that they are commenting on (yet another) giant Trump rally?

The descent into a total delusional alternate reality is nearly complete.

I wonder if, when complete, it will be permanent for them?

Trump knows that there is a preponderance of evidence in his favor and against those conducting the witch hunt - he senses the time is almost ripe....
