@kims good post....mortifying for everyone in the security services, those that are patriots, to watch this. For the American people, wondering when enough will be enough....do we really think we - USA and it's Constitution - can survive much more of this? Even weeks, forget 4 more years? What to do if we invited someone into our home who promised gifts of gold, who then proceeded to pull out a sledgehammer & embark on an uncontrolled manic-driven rage of pure destruction? We'd throw them out...
"For Trump doesn’t have coherent policy views; he has prejudices, some of them based on sheer petulance, that are impervious to facts. And his childishness and lack of connection to reality, while present all along, seem to have grown worse as he approaches 80."
"Given the strange American electoral system, certain states matter more than others. Ukrainian-Americans are 1% of the population of Pennsylvania, and 0.5% of the population of Michigan. If Trump wins those two states, he will win the general election. If Harris wins those two states, then she will win the general election.
@PerryM perhaps...honestly, I have seen nothing, tonight's assessment included, leads me to doubt Biden is in full control of his faculties, can manage well a second term. Remember, he's been on a trying, even for young folks, travel schedule to Europe, etc, hosting African leaders, supporting Ukraine, etc etc etc. I get it that everyone wants a young, photogenic, sublime orator of decency and democracy, but we have just the choice before us....I salute your choice, it's mine too.
@eaton ....infuriating in the extreme....perhaps this "pastor" would enlighten is all by oozing his sentiments about ex-presidents attempting an insurrection, raping & abusing women, stealing and obstructing recovery of classified/top secret/military secrets, and generally pushing an anti-America policy platform....among other crimes against our Republic and citizens!! You are right to urge keeping an eye on this. The audacity of this fool "pastor"....
@skykiss@skydog@SpaceLifeForm ...who will begin process to create, find leaders for, new conservative party. Pretty clear from polling & Haley's share of primaries there is huge number of GOP voters who've been jolted back to some better version of reality, want nothing to do with MAGA & trumpo & learning Russian & crime org running US. Haley, Cheney, Sununu, Christie, Hutchinson, ?? The cleaving of GOP will continue, don't read much about next steps...?
