After he murdered 6 plus million people not to count citizens in the rest of Europe and around the world. The shot in the head was too late. Someone in his circle should have had the guts to do it. I know there was an assassination attempt that didn’t work. We desperately need a 007 with license to kill.

I'm still surprised that no one has tried to take tRump out yet. It boggles me that it hasn't happened. SMDH. Not that I would necessarily approve of it, being a good Buddhist, I don't believe in that kind of violence, but I doubt I'd cry over it.

You'd think so, but there are some, mostly the elderly, who have been Republicans for all of their voting lives, many of them for 60+ years.

Good people? Not many, and not anymore. The purge of the RNC Republicans that were in office or running for reelection decided not to continue. Over 150 of them as Trump kept pointing to them in the first years, 2017-18 as they were subjected to his encouraging his online mob and competing primaries.

So, who is left? There are a few in the House but not the around 135 that signed up to support Trump's efforst on 1/6. The Senate? The Trump "willing," in the Senate are the publicly obvious like Hawley or Cruz,etc. How many others in positions of ex-aides and administration hacks that are so willing to literally tear that, " WE THE PEOPLE " document up and replace it with Project 2025. Plenty of Heritage Foundation folk ready and willing to sign-up for that AND rid of us of those pesky few that you are referring to. I understood the good will in your statement but I think we fool ourselves if we look for them to do anything to prevent further destruction of our laws and values.

Biden's stutter doesn't compare to how the deranged, wannabe evil Emperor Diaperload continues to murder the king's English on a daily basis. His incomplete butchered to hell sentences along with his memory lapses are getting worse and comparable to his obvious lack of sanity. Also, the ongoing fucked up bromances with some of the most ruthless dictators in history further emphasizes the lack of rational thinking and common sense.

I only discovered Rachel around 2018 & I adore her. She is whip smart & tells us what we need to know. Monday night she’s the one who connected the dots between LDFF & the Chubb CEO, ka-ching, between his about face on TikTok & and American billionaire who happens to own a 17% stake in ByteDance, his sudden softening on Bud Lite’s maker & a $10,000 per plate fundraiser thrown for him. She’s good at following the money, & watching what they are doing.

Is she smashing the glass & sounding the alarm 🚨, hell yes she is & I am damned glad she is. imo everyone else on msm isn’t blaring the danger alarm loudly enough.

RV maxima's avatar

You know what they say, about career advice that is, "go with your strengths ". Unfortunately, with Trump that is criminality. Sure, many people now understand Trump's malignant narcissism as it has been documented as a personality disorder by professionals and everyone can see it for themselves per his actions and rallies, etc. Apparently, many voters per NYT reported that Republicans against Trump doing a $50M campaign of his past voters, saying no more on testimonials. That is probably the best campaign to widdle down his supporters.

Back to his Personality Disorders, seeing his behavior may not help enough people to really understand it. Because people will always go back to their own experiences, normal like behavior and not thoroughly under that his extreme narcissism is a blanket that shield him from reality. So his absolute conviction is what his cult follows and is convinced by. It is not a choice, really as that blankie is protecting him from the idea that normal criminal behavior is seen as a choice. I certainly hope this "reality edifice " keeps breaking down -for BOTH Trump and his blind supporters. May it make " Trump syndrome, TDS become ETTD, everything Trump touchs dies a more clear reality than it it is for the cult right now. And, please lord before November! Sorry, I am a little windy today!

I get the reason it’s easy to bring up H. Trump’s openly doing things we all know are not kind, good, or right in any measurement. Those of us with a modicum of common sense know what he could be capable of.

But Ive learned to not make comparisons because the scope and breadth of what H did is off the charts in intensity, frequency, duration, and deliberate monstrous immoral acts that ended the lives of millions in horrible and horrifying ways that just aren’t part of Trump … yet. I’ve also learned that the false comparison compromises the memory of those who suffered under H.

Misidentifying H’s awful power of destruction by convoluting it with Trump’s potential, is not useful as it blurs the ability to understand how things might really roll.

I’ve done it in the past. I, too, have called him H. I just finally realized that the drama of this statement shoots a sort of novacaine in the truth of the day to day watch we need to keep on this snake.

Trump has the potential to be worse than Hitler. When he gets to destroying the planet through global warming by letting OPEC rule the world, and lets Putin massively slaughter Ukrainians, and everyone else in Europe that does not want to be part of the White Russian Empire, then starts executing Democrats, all Brown skinned people, LGBTQ+ people, and anyone else he and his hatemongers hate, then he will perhaps exceed what Hitler did. His potential destructiveness is something we cannot imagine, and we hopefully will not find out.

Here's some good news via the Bulwark!

Ex-Trump voters are making ads telling why they are voting for Biden this time. Obviously, these people are gonna be way more convincing than any lib! Here's the link: rvat.org Watch the videos and help get them seen in swing states.

Now Republican Accountability PAC has announced a $50 million campaign for 2024, starting off with more than 100 new, first-person video testimonials of former Trump voters. These are not just former Republican voters, but are former Trump voters. And they explain in their own words, usually in videos recorded on their own cell phones, why they can’t support Trump in 2024.

Take a look at some of these testimonials at rvat.org, which will be featured in ads on TV, radio, billboards, and digital media in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. They’re a remarkable watch: Americans from very different backgrounds giving different reasons, in their own voices—some of them pensive, some solemn, some emotional—for why we can’t risk another term of Donald Trump.

“I voted for Donald Trump in 2020. January 6th was the end of Donald Trump for me,” says Ethan from Wisconsin. “The peaceful transfer of power is one of the defining pieces of our democracy, and I could not believe that someone I had formerly supported would get behind an effort that would throw that under the bus . . . Donald Trump is not a viable option. I will vote for Biden.”

And here’s Dave from Pennsylvania: “I’m a two-time Trump voter. I do not plan on voting for Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Do you want a guy like this leading the oldest democracy in the world, the world’s number one superpower? Do you want this guy leading us? I don’t.”

Americans, especially the really dumb ones, forget that the taxes that we all pay is the TREASURE OF THE PEOPLE. Our TREASURE, that we all work TOGETHER in order to build and maintain the infrastructure and the people, which should be the first priority. Infrastructure includes education, the best expenditure that money can buy, because an educated populace works better, thinks better, and encourages everyone to participate. Republicans have been sticking a shiv into the heart of education, especially for minorities, for decades, because, as the Orange Diaper Load said "I like the uneducated" and his secretary of education, Betsy DeVos, another billionaire scumcrack, worked to eviscerate.

We can do better. Make public education a priority, like other Westernized countries do, only better. Google our global standing in public education, and weep.

Oh, how I long for the day when trump's ugly orange face is no longer plastered on everyone's computer and tv screens every day, his disgusting, demented ravings are no longer considered "news" and he's finally and utterly dead broke.

I was going to add that to my post, but decided that the idea of trump shambling about in his last remaining hideouts, selling off his gold toilets one by one, having his diaper changed by Marjorie Taylor Greene, and being feed cheeseburgers pre-chewed by Katie Britt was much more appealing.

Entitlements. "Your kids act they are entitled to everything". Social Security and Medicare are not entitlements exactly because we had the money for them taken out of our paychecks for the 50 years that we worked. The very rich and Republicans are the ones pushing this "entitlement" scam because they never had to work at some shit job for minimum wage and they want their hands on the money. Reagan and "Shrub" Bush already grabbed a bunch of it, saying "we'll pay it back but they never did.

Hitler and Eva took cyanide to commit suicide. Go ahead Chump, be a dictator and find out what dictators get.

Some days I like to call it " A Distopian Nightmare." On other days it's " A Nightmarish Distopia"
