I do think that a lot of people, certainly Democrats but also some Republicans (as you said), are sick and tired of Trump and his constant whining, lies and crimes. I also think the more Trump talks on TV and at rallies the more people see that he has some serious cognitive issues going on. Maybe his hate is eating his brain cells. Anyway, I do think we can stop him as long as we all work together.

I think a lot of Trump voters want the hate and mistake the chaos for fighting for them. How ignorant!

He essentially threatened Nikki Haley tonight

What did he say?

Threatening an investigation over “something something”….you know his vague and non-specific statements (hint: he’s making it up as he goes along).

Expand full comment

His usual routine. Good thing his German grandfather and father moved to the USA. Though his grand father had no choice, he got thrown out of Germany. He made a fortune in the USA but went back with his bride to be but the German authorities stripped him of his German Citizenship for draft dodging - lucky for Granddad the USA didn't require any paperwork for immigrants in those days.

Hum...take a second look. Everything is not as it seems. Cognitive or just crazy.

The get out of jail card? This is what I see. Unable to stand trial because of mental issues is this the new game plan? Once someone goes into a mental institution they stay there a while and get right back out. Free.

No, not so fast. Is this what they want American's to believe? We have seen this act before.

Don't fall for it.

I believe you are correct, with a slight adjustment. If he is deemed unfit funeral due to mental defects, he’ll be institutionalized at a federal mental health facility and treated until such time that he is deemed fit for trial. He has 91 Felony charges against him. 34 of these are Violating the Espionage Act. Acting crazy will only delay the inevitable. Him spending the rest of his days behind bars.

Personally, I don’t give a good 💩if he spends it in a federal, or state, penitentiary, or a mental health institution.

The fact that he still has All "His" Money and he isn't in prison tells the whole story about our current Legal/Justice System...

Timothy, it says a mouthful! I worked as a LEO, and firefighter for over 26 years. I never ever saw, or heard, of someone with these type charges getting this treatment.

I jailed people for a hell of a lot less which sat in jail until their trial.

What’s worse, this 🍓🍊💩🤡🤮 isn’t spending one cent of his money on anything. He’s spending all the money these cultist people he has on his hook are sending him.

Expand full comment

To the best of my knowledge, I don't think he has ever paid one cent that he was ordered to pay by any court. America has become a "Politically Lawless" country and the legal system as a whole is a sham. There are "those" who Own $$$$ the Law, & "those" of us who must live by it...

Just a reminder. Nikki Haley is NOT an acceptable alternative to Donald. Her policies are almost identical to Donald's, and she wants to cut social security and medicare too (She also wants to kick trans kids.) #VoteBlue in 2024 all the way!!!

I agree that Haley is dreadful in the generic GOP fashion. But if she was elected president, I'm pretty sure there would be another presidential election in 2028.

Please, God: One person, one vote! I am sick of losers winning--and especially disgusted that losers keep making SCOTUS appointments.

Expand full comment

I agree with you Daniel - conditionally. I can't help but have a measure of empathy for the gop members in general like you or I. Speaking for myself, I am not in the 'leadership' of the dem party, independent party - any party; I don't get to drive the train, steer the train, or even ring the bell or blow the damn whistle ! Hell, they really, actually don't even want my opinions ! They want my support and of course any shekels I can or will spare, and of course they want to 'speechify' at me, yet never hear or care to hear back. In fact, my party has failed me 'and' my families catastrophically Daniel !! If I told you my stories, they would shake you to your core, given that you 'believed' me. I possess as many reasons, if not more, to be deeply - profoundly, existentially furious, belligerently, unhinged angry with my party, and the our entire 'system' as it has existed for the past 50 or more years of my life ! To simply type or say that I'm angry is the grossest understatement of the 20th and 21st century so far; There aren't enough words, adjectives, adverbs, etc., in existence to fully describe the limits and boundaries of my rage, anger, and resentments... Damn; this was about to get wholly cathartic and long - in fact, my sleeve is a bit wet. Bottom line, I wholly understand the haters and I'd be lying if I said differently - and lying is something I won't do; besides being beat out of me, I never understood the practicality of having to burden my mind with more than one story to explain anything. Try if you will, to exercise some patience with those opposed - they have their story too; most often when allowed to speak freely, they often find their own way to reasoning and reasonableness - that's what I will try to exercise with folks like you and I, who are merely member and foot soldiers so to speak; the leadership though gets no pass from me - they know and are absolutely unforgivable on this mortal plane. jmho ~

Well said, D4N! I understand and am right there with you fully. Party leadership gets no pass.

I just want to say that what they have allowed Frumpy to do is insane. They have allowed him to formulate a cult, which n my opinion, has taken over the Republican Party.

Not winning. Cheating.

Do you really believe Donald won the 2016 Election fairly? If Muller had finished his investigation and the Obstructionist Barr had not tricked the American public, he would have been tossed out of the Presidency. He won nothing. Putin's President.

Expand full comment

He should have been convicted over the Ukraine thing, which was actually similar to what Comey did a few days before the election (when people were *already* voting absentee and in early voting). That violated "tradition" but the GQP got away with it. But whether any of it would have resulted in a conviction in the Senate and removal from the office is doubtful. There was plenty of evidence to convict in Impeachment #2 and they still didn't do it. The fix was in from the start, and by the time trump was impeached the first time, he was already the GQP's lord and master.

And maybe Russia would not have started a war with Ukraine but that's a big maybe. Putin's dream is to restore the Soviet Empire. Was he ever sick?

Respectfully disagree. Trump is malignant terminal cancer. If he gets power again, he could destroy our Constitutional Democratic Republic form of government. He could destroy Congress and the Judiciary. He could shoot protestors in the streets and turn America into a clone of Russia. Haley is a benign tumor. Biden or any Dem would be better than Haley. But ANYONE is better than Trump.

Expand full comment

My big concern is that even now tfg is likely plotting how to launch another insurrection to seize power should he lose the election. And I believe there goes our democracy as Trump doesn't want people to have the power of the vote because we could vote him out.. And frankly if people are so utterly stupid to vote for him in large numbers, maybe we deserve the mess we're going to be in.

Expand full comment

We do not deserve anything bad because we did not create this f@cking mess.

How and what we did not create:

••••James Comer f@cked up big time!

•••• Paul Manafort ushering Russia into the campaign was a disaster.

•••• Was it Kompromat held over Rs heads that made them abandon their senses?

•••• Was it that CNN spent thousands of hours showing nothing but a vacant podium?

We all remember the Fancy Bear hack. Russians giving Julian Assange troves of data, millions of byts of stolen papers much of it filled with nonsense. Queue the Media to blow it into a huge Clinton Scandal Without Checking out a Thing!

She also wants a nationwide abortion ban and has said she would pardon Trump. She would likely pardon all of the J6 insurrectionists. She says that America has never been a racist nation. Surely she knows better. She couldn’t say that the civil war was about slavery. At least not until all the backlash forced her to say it the next day. You could see her cringe. She is not harmless as some think and she would do Trumps bidding more than likely.

I think DJT is easier to beat than Haley. Haley will appeal to independents and enough Trump voters will vote for her if DJT isn’t there. They will look at Haley as experienced and youthful. So because I want Biden to win, Haley scares me.

Assuming DJT takes the nomination, I know what one of his racist dog whistle will be…. If Biden wins… Kamala will be the President because of his age. The racist wing of Trump voters will really make it ugly and terrifying to their base. I’m a 70 y/o white woman, and that really pisses me off! I can’t imagine how hurtful it would feel to black folks.

Expand full comment

The contrast between Haley and either of the old men is stark--and not good for Biden. For now, however, I'm thrilled to have her stay in the race. Trump will continue to spew his racist birther crap to his base. If she gets the nomination, they might just stay home on election day.

One can hope, but it’s time to use all legal means to give hope a chance. The Good Lord helps them what helps themselves. The others not so much. Using all legal means, we need to stop clutching our cravats, and jump in the sewer and fight systematically using misdirection, deception and the politics of personal destruction. And we fight like hell with whatever we have, like Ukrainians. There will be time enough for extending the peace pipe of reconciliation when we win. If we don’t win, we won’t ever have to think about reconciliation or a rule of law.
