For an outsider like me it’s difficult to understand that so many Americans still supports this individual. A denial of reality that is really scary.

It appears that the only GQP politicians who will refuse to endorse Trump are those who have decided (or realized) that their political careers are over.

The man is a cancer eating into the soul of America. I don't understand how so many people still support this monster. Just today I was sitting in a diner in the small town I live in and someone asked the waitress why Fox news wasn't on the TV. She replied that they had forgotten to turn the TV on. He thought it was for political reasons and they started talking about Trump and how persecuted he was and what a victim he was. I almost lost my breakfast. What is wrong with these people?

Trump is going for broke. It’s all or nothing.

I’m waiting (and waiting, and waiting…) for Trump’s court cases to play out. After Trump loses the election, he will be broke and imprisoned for the rest of his miserable life. Hallelujah!

I heard Trump say that today on T.V. on MSNBC. He is terrified! I just hope the Democrats have a plan in case this really does happen! If it does, he needs to be arrested if he causes violence! Any one else would by now!

AMEN, Prof Reich. It is soul-destroying to see that the judicial system is assisting this vile person in dodging responsibility for his acts.

Donald Trump went off the rails a long time ago. At least as far back as 2011 after the correspondents dinner. He is a danger to this country and the world. He is the exact domestic terrorist that he goes on about regarding the Democratic Party. In most countries around the world he would have been imprisoned already. Or worse. He could have chosen a much better life for himself and his family but this sometimes happens when you are guided by anger and hatred. Donald Trump is a very disturbed human being.

I’m writing 100’s of get out the vote letters, that’s all I can say. If I don’t do something, I will have guilt on my own head if this monster, God forbid, gets back in.

This Megalomanic has nothing to lose. He will do or say anything to get his base whipped up. He belongs in jail and those cases need to be tried. We could have another annual federal holiday when he’s convicted and perp walked into his sentence. Seriously…if any other person in The country did any of these things, they’d be already serving hard time. He should be held to a much higher standard though because he was in a position of public trust and service so he should be dealt with accordingly in the judicial system. On a chain gang,

When the election is over on November 5, 2024, will we be hearing Taps being played for the passing of our Democracy or will we be hearing Reveille for the re-awaking and survival of our Democracy?

Let’s keep calm, work hard, and vote BLUE all the way through for the House, the Senate and the Presidency.

Just remember and practice this important advice:

“You can’t wring your hands and roll up your sleeves at the same time.”

Patricia Nell Scott Schroeder (July 30, 1940 – March 13, 2023), Colorado's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives 1973-1997

Together we can make it happen! Roll up those sleeves now! Susan Highfield

This is on McConnell and the GOP for not voting to impeach him for January 6 , the right wing SCOTUS who are afraid of the Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation, Fascist Billionaires, plus the slow, scared DOJ It is just another threat from a crazed mentally ill domestic terrorist ! Trump should be in jail. There is no justice system who will take on Trump! Jack Smith, please discuss Trump judge cannon with the 11 th Circuit! Trump needs locked up!

Pence may not endorse Trump but he will vote for him! Once an “R” always an “R” even if he/she is a grifter, liar, mentally ill deranged idiot, conspiracy theorist, thief, rapist, and traitor!

Thank you so much. I have been wondering since why is there not a way for the current president to sui nr 45 for defamation repeating the election lie? Why are there no consequences saying it every where if in fact it has been proven wrong?

I have said it before and will repeat it now: Trump is our Hitler, and this is a combo of 1923 and 1930/31 — Hitler rose, fell, rose again and because of the idiocy of the German hierarchy and the dementia of Hindenburg, attained the Chancellorship, leading to WWII (although some of Trump’s recent imbecilities seem to indicate that we have yet to fight WWII). Trump is, like Hitler, a sociopath. And, like Hitler, when cornered, he is willing to take colossal risks. Add to the mix the sloth and timidity of Garland, the stupidity of impropriety by Fani Willis, the dumb luck of drawing “Loose” Cannon as the judge in the MAL docs case, and the seeming inanity or incompetence of the SDNY who have just turned over to Alvin Bragg at my old office (which is, ultimately, Garland’s fault), and we have a moment of extreme jeopardy. And to those who say it is inappropriate to compare Trump to Hitler, I say, read a few hundred books on Nazi Germany and get a sense of the man and the time, and then get back to me.

Trump always tells what he’s going to do through projection. In other words, if he wins “I don’t think you’re going to have another election, or certainly not an election that’s meaningful.” That’s his goal - and that is the goal of his Republican Party. As former VP Cheney said yesterday, “"In our nation's

246-year history, there has never been an individual who was a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump."

"The rest of us must do everything in our power to ensure that this monster never again comes close to the Oval Office." EVERYTHING. IN. OUR. POWER. VOTE!

Saying the quiet part out loud. This has been his MO since his 1st Presidential campaign. We are clear on who he is and what he stands for... the problem is with those who follow his lead! I wanted to belive there were those who were being mislead. But when he tells the truth and reveals the quiet part, it becomes difficult to believe anything other than those that follow him are willful participants and align with his rhetoric.
