    Funny to hear that the "fire in a crowded theater" argument has become tired.

    Guess it's just been utilized successfully and with good cause so often.

    And I wonder if the media at a September Trump rally agreed with your take on it while people threatened them.

    Some journalism school needs to find the original version, present the two side-by-side and go to town on lazy reporting, ethics and any number of other issues.

    Do not let that deter anything you may post on twitter or any message board.

    It was no secret during the campaign that Donald Trump was a narcissist and a demagogue who used fear and dishonesty to appeal to the worst in American voters. The [L.A.] Times called him unprepared and unsuited for the job he was seeking, and said his election would be a “catastrophe.”

    Still, nothing prepared us for the magnitude of this train wreck. Like millions of other Americans, we clung to a slim hope that the new president would turn out to be all noise and bluster, or that the people around him in the White House would act as a check on his worst instincts, or that he would be sobered and transformed by the awesome responsibilities of office. ...

    What is most worrisome about Trump is Trump himself. He is a man so unpredictable, so reckless, so petulant, so full of blind self-regard, so untethered to reality that it is impossible to know where his presidency will lead or how much damage he will do to our nation. His obsession with his own fame, wealth and success, his determination to vanquish enemies real and imagined, his craving for adulation — these traits were, of course, at the very heart of his scorched-earth outsider campaign; indeed, some of them helped get him elected. But in a real presidency in which he wields unimaginable power, they are nothing short of disastrous.


    Our Dishonest President
