Equally troubling is that too many Americans apparently still accept -- even cheer -- Trump's crude, hateful words. (Updated)

(Commentary, including reposted material. Temporarily posted.)

(....Along with his apparently corrupt (etc.) actions (link)...)

10/19/18 news article excerpts, including quotations from the President of the United States of America:

"President Donald Trump praised Montana Republican Rep. Greg Gianforte for assaulting a reporter during his campaign last May, saying "any guy who can do a body slam ... he's my guy" and made a gesture mimicking a body slam.

At a Montana rally Thursday night, Trump admitted, "I shouldn't say this," but continued and said, "there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

The comment comes at the same time as the administration responds to the disappearance and apparent murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul...."

"......Trump later recalled the back-and-forth with former Vice President Joe Biden over a fight, and again invoked Gianforte's body slam of Jacobs [the reporter].

"How about sleepy Joe Biden? Sleepy Joe. Remember he challenged me to a fight and that was fine. And when I said he wouldn't last long -- he'd be down faster than Greg would take him down, he'd be down so fast, remember? Faster than Greg -- I'd have to go very fast, I'd have to immediately connect," Trump told the crowd."

FWIW, (if not already clear...): As best as possible, I'm not going to be included as part of any cohort that finds what Trump and U.S. Republicans are currently perpetrating to be "OK" or "acceptable"...And you shouldn't either. It cannot be "taken lying down"...

10/19/18 update: Per the linked article, no GOP lawmaker response so far to Trump's hostile words:

"Murphy" is a little older now, but she's fighting the fight as well. (It's sanitized and "'gentled-up" a bit for TV, but...) the character (below) articulates what's been said more than once within this tiny blog: Trump...many U.S. Republicans ... and plenty of their supporters are scared, (generally-) old, (generally-) white "dinosaurs"....It's likely their dying howl. 
...And good riddance (eventually)...:
