I think he’s not only running for president to pardon himself from prison time, but to also set up a permanent family dynasty for his devil-spawned children. He needs fascism to carry this out.

As Mark A. Milley said, he's "fascist to the core" Together with his pathological lying and malignant narcissism and his agenda if elected “Project 2025” Fascism/Authoritarian will become the rule given Trump total power. Destroying our democracy taken away normal freedoms!

We must do everything we can to combat fascism. Voting is not going to stop fascism, but anything that puts a barrier between Trump and the executive will at the very least make it so that an authoritarian fascist regime is not guaranteed.

Anyway, there's optimism in the air. Kamala Harris is showing us the politics of what's possible, and she'll lead with that same joy and optimism as our next president.

I've gotten so many high-fives wearing this Kamala shirt everywhere I go 👇

I have to get my ballot in the mail. I don't trust drop boxes. And I voted blue all the way down my ballot. Every vote for all Democrats. I want to see every Republican lose their seats. That is what needs to be done. Send those punks a clear message that enough is enough! We are sick of your sick Trump candidate. And you Republicans who have been supporting that POS are just as sick as Trump is! Shame on all of you!

I was a staunch Republican until Trump, now an Independent. I took a chance and helped to get him in, in 2016, figuring that a CEO of a corporation would have the administrative skills to run a country, but was not aware of his numerous bankruptcies and other unscrupulous actions. I did not vote for him in 2020 and certainly will not in 2024!

Expand full comment

I knew what he was. I did not vote for him in 2016. He was a less than marginal student in College. I learned that from my Political Science Professors long before Trump ever decided to run for President. I don't want stupid people running the country I live in. America first! Not stinking politicians! Democracy First!

How can he usurp all power since we have this thing called the Separation of Powers currently. Congress and the Judicial branch ought to be able to rein him in somehow. Throw him in Leavenworth if he tries to throw out the Constitution and put his supporters in there with him if they do anything. Use the National Guard. Our Founding Fathers put these guardrails in place for purposes like Trump and his dictatorial aspirations.

Expand full comment

Yes our founding fathers gave us the Separation of Powers, to include the Separation of Church and State. Another lie that comes from the far right idiots! The stinking United States Supreme Court gave jerk Trump the authority to be a dictator. The very thing our founding fathers warned us about. Do not elect to the office of President any foreign Prince from any country for fear that they would try to set themselves up as King. Trump comes from a long line of Scottish Barons from Scotland. We are in serious trouble if that punk gets elected again.

I suspect he'll be forced out with the promise of a blanket pardon by President Vance. Not that it'll help on state charges.

And yet an ex pat US media commentator said he would rather serve under General Custer than Mark Milley. Unbelievable

General Mark Milley and James Mattis are both good men. We have to keep General Mark Milley in our prayers. He is concerned about Trump if elected that he will have him court martialed.

Expand full comment

Fool. He rather die than serve with a man and his team that kept Trump from calling the order for a nuclear attack on someone. Gen. Milley said that one man had to stay awake at all times to keep him from pulling the plug. Trump thought he was in charge but a few good Generals that serve this country proudly kept him from doing something stupid. Milley kept us from WWII and the fool never caught on it was his generals that were running the country. Garland has been a big disappointment during Biden but Barr was dangerous with Trump. Just think what Trump could have done if the silent ones of the country kept us safe. If Trump should be in office again who knows if guardrails will be in place. Trump wants to kill Gen. Mark Milley for his service. Trump is a fascist and is following Hitlers play book. Hitler was kicked out of the German Army his first go around. Like those who want power he killed his way up when he returned to the Army and re-enlist. He will set up the concentration camps and behind a fence anyone of color will be housed. The rest of us God only knows. He is blaming the Jews for his loss. Where Hitler wanted a pure race Trump does as well but wants to blame all Jews if he should lose. What do we do? Just what do we do the everyday white person with a Jewish husband like my daughter and niece. How do we protect the rights of all men just because it's someone else's fault, which is not true. It's his fault and maybe more so Vance's fault. Naw it's Trump's alone to bear.

He didn't read Hitlers Mein Kumpf, he does not read but believes the hanger on'ers and their opinions. He will have no power and the enemy is within his circle. Vance will put him on the fast train to get him qualified as incompetent so he can have the position. I truly believe this. He will experience a coup, what he was trying to do to Biden. It will backfire on him. Post election we must be very careful because in power or not he will seek to harm everyone who did not vote for him and he doesn't know us but look out the Washington post and the writes like Michael and Katie. Those at MSNBC, but we are not going to let him win.

McConnell is one EVIL BASTARD. He had two chances to stop this madman and he chose money and power over democracy. There is a special place in hell for what he has done to our country.

When tax dollars were doled out to the state of Kentucky, McConnell's wife Elaine Lan Chao served as Secretary of Labor under George W. Bush from 2002 to 2009, and Secretary of Transportation under Trump from 2017 to 2021.

The tax dollars I refer to were during Bush's terms. Guess whose county in Kentucky those dollars were used for upgrading.

Ms. Lan Chao resigned after the January 6th insurrection.

I may as well note that her father's big time shipping company was caught in a drug shipping scandal for drugs coming from China to USA.

They want to bring in the One World Order! The Republican Party is hell bent on it. They have to suspend the U.S. Constitution just like Germany did in WW2 when Hitler rose to power. Our U.S. Constitution is the only thing that stands in the way of making our country part of that One World Order. Trump cannot be a dictator for one day without first suspending our Constitution. People need to wake up! If Trump does this he can roll down the streets military tanks right where we live in residential areas! And just like Hitler, the Nazi Party existed before Hitler rose to power. All the rotten militia gangsters Q' anon, the Patriot Boys and all those other Nazi Fascist Pigs are the ones backing trump.

I can't believe our country and constitution was intended to allow a felon to run for the highest office in the land when a felon looking for a so so job in factories etc are disqualified due to the company policy. Where is our company policy. We cannot trust this felon. He proved himself through his 4 yrs and the impeachments and love for the dictators and their way of running a country. We need new rules for SCOTUS and any government job. I have held a top secret clearance and no way in hell could Trump and family to include Flynn qualify for a TS.

He wasn't indicted on 92 counts for nothing. This guy is a real criminal.

He is a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, his company is declared liable for fraud, bankrupt multiple times etc. We don't hear much of anything of all this from anyone in the media. Just because the Supreme Corrupt Court decided to give him immunity doesn't mean that we have to.

In my profession, I was tested each level and it took 10 years to achieve the highest level. They have LSAT, MSAT, GSAT...why not PSAT.

They put these children on a train with no parents and sent them West to fend for themselves. Oak Ridge did many experiments. The scientist lived in concentration camps so they would not tell what they were doing. The things that were done to people is unspeakable. There is another thought and it's true but it involved Plum Island off NY. Scientist there were creating diseases and infecting the animals. Our government shut it down after WWII and the animals were let loose. Lime disease found in ticks is man made by scientist in our country. Those animals, when tide let down created a land bridge and they moved into the woods of Long Island and they moved around from there. The disease was meant for people. Not only was there no antidote for lime disease and the outcome was to kill the person but by one of these ticks and the long term affects. I like about 40 miles from Oak Ridge and asking questions will still get you arrested and run out of town. The Nuclear Waste was put in barrels and buried in the hills. This was the 40s and up to the 80s the barrels rusted the waste material leaked into the ground water and many tumors and cancers were developing in a little place down from Oak Ridge TN, it was in the water and streams and when I was a nurse working Hospice an entire family was affected and as one doctor from Russia said I have not seen these cancers since Chernobyl. One doctor named Smith was new and Smith is his true name, he called to one of the plants YK__ __ and inquired about what was being done there and he and his family were literally run out of town with death threats and shootings into his home. He moved within the first few months of being targeted and now practices in Washington State. This is a true story and not embellished at all. The cancer rate from those who worked there and in the area around for 60 miles has the highest cancer rate. I took saw and took care of patients with growths and cancers that was hard to believe. The small community of Ten Mile is down stream from Oak Ridge. At one time it was the only nuclear waste dump site. Burning into hills and mountains was the method for years. Now there is another site in Iowa and it is much more advanced but in Oak Ridge the waste thate was buried 70-80 yrs ago are still having effects. Animals have been born with 2 heads and other out of the world things you could not imagine. Throat cancer and lung cancer is the worst, then there are the neurological tumors growing on the nerve endings. I could go on and on for hours. Sorry. Our government is messed up for sure and the things we don't know are wild. The things we are seeing now we can do something.

Wow! I watched The Manchurian Candidate. I had no idea that was a true story. The MULTRA Experiment is also a true story.

Whatever you do, don’t read this unless you want to wake up at 3am as the terror sets in. (Excellent book, anyway.).

this is a link to a book called Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War on Amazon. Nuclear waged war is unwinable. It causes long term damage to planetary eco systems making life impossible on the planet. The book hypothesized a nuclear attack by North Korea on the United States, which then retaliates, creating a chain reaction of other nuclear nations launching their weapons. There are many monitoring safeguards in effect to prevent this. But, it raises the question of Trump having his finger on the nuclear button.

The reality is, the world is already at war with Putin. North Korea and China are already doing practice exercises to invade Taiwan, Japan, and south Korea, just like Russia did practice runs on Ukraine's border. This is part of a complex plan Putin put together, where he has compromised several world leaders such as Trump, to disrupt nations from banding together against him

Look at what he did to our 2 FBI Agents who saw right through him. James Comey knew that Trump was in bed with the Russians. He was having dealings with Russian MAFIA at his N. Y. Trump Towers. Trump also fired Andrew McCabe because McCabe ordered special transportation security to get FBI Agent James Comey safely back home to Pennsylvania and to his family. Trump is nothing but a PUNK! If you haven't read former FBI Agent James Comey's book you should buy it and read it. And the same thing about FBI Agent Andrew McCabe. I bought both of those men's books. A real eye opener. And as for Mueller and his Trump investigation, that was nothing but another political sham! Mueller should have never been put on that investigation team to run it. Trump should have been impeached.

Yes he will start with everyone who has opposed him. I am reminded of the movie staring Bruce Willis and Annette Benning. Even FBI agents not of white blood was put in the camp. Tanks in our streets and killing non white. It was made during the 911 crisis from Bin Lauden but it applies today. Watch out I think we will be in great trouble should be have any power and I fear he will take that power even if Kamala wins. It is proven he has been running Congress for the last 4 yrs. How is it that a civilian with no power in our government have control over Congress and some in the Senate. We know he has SCOTUS. He has been in power though not elected to do so. Congress needs a through cleaning if he loses this time. Many in the right will perform that Koo that we fear. I could not believe this happened and our AG let it happen. This is the one area Biden needed to butt in and tell Garland what to do. Jail those who follow his orders. Never in our history had this happened, if it has happened before it was covert and not out in the open. Those in Congress should be removed that listened to his orders like Border deal he squashed that the right mostly write and the VP signed off on and he told Johnson to squash it. A civilian telling Congress and the speaker of the house doing his bidding. Do you think if he loses this time that he will sit back. He will take over Congress and there will anarchy in government and the military will set up those camps for pure blood. Staining out blood my God he sounds like Hitler to the Jews. Same words.

Nothing Christian in Christian Nationalism

Not in the least. I'm not a great Christian, but what the Christijihadists (and make no mistake, that's what they actually ARE) are fixated on some externals, but not the what the message of Jesus is--to be kind and help others when you can.

There's nothing Christian about them. They are being nothing but used by the Republican right wing idiots for votes and money. And the Bible instructs Christians to come out of this world. They are to be sojourners passing through it. And not to cause harm to others. Another passage on Judgement Day, where Jesus says depart from me you wicked and evil doers. I never knew you! They are called to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. They have allowed the Republican Party to blind them. It is the Republican Party that passed Roe v. Wade in 1970. Candidate Bork who was Democrat got borked off the Supreme Court because he was Pro-Life! Not an abortionist. The Republicans wanted an abortionist to pass Roe v. Wade and make it the national law of our nation. Most Christians do not even know this. And they think the Republicans are so clean.

True, but the sad thing is that Democrats are only left compared to the GOP these days. I can remember a time when most of their platform was somewhat reasonable, at least compared to today's GOP. Most Democrats are pretty centrist.

there has been a documentary on MSNBC several times in the last few weeks, comes on at 10PM on the weekend. It's titled From Russia with Lev and it's all about the B/S that went on before and during Trump's first run. This guy was in thick with Trump and his cronies. This man Lev was arrested and fined. He spilled his guts to Rachael Maddow and she recorded it.

Dianne, would you happen to remember the title of the documentary? I'm sure many of us would be interested in seeing it, if we haven't already seen it. Thank you!

Hasn’t he disqualified himself from a security clearance at this point? If he qualifies for a security clearance then a top secret clearance is meaningless.

Expand full comment

Presidents and vice presidents don't have to go through the same vetting process as others do in order to view classified materials. It's ridiculous. I had a clearance once. It's quite the process for us "regular" folk, including all sorts of hoops to jump through.

Agreed. The last one I had was secret and i sweated that one. I'd never done a clearance so in depth.

You would think. He shouldn't have top secret clearance for sure. But because he'd be back in (fingers crossed he's NOT), it's expected.

I believe in this particular Presidential election, the politics of the candidates are irrelevant. This election is a choice between right and wrong. Supporting an addlebrained incoherent degenerate misogynist racist rapist criminal liar is wrong, wrong, wrong. A vote for such a person is a crime against America. No Votes For Criminals!
