I think that covers a lot of us, your last paragraph fits me to a tee. The Republican Party of John McCain and Colin Powell, men of decency, integrity, and honor has evaporated with their passing RIP, it’s remnant's are inhabited by people that share none of those qualities, none, zero, zip, most of them are highly educated and wealthy to 🥾 boot, so it makes no sense that they would align themselves with a con man who’s entire entitled life has been built on lies. None of us are perfect and we have all probably at one time shaded the truth to benefit ourselves only to realize what a mistake that was, can you imagine a lifetime in which every single time you opened your mouth a lie came out. The Republicans have embraced a con man and a cheater and a large part of our evidently uneducated nation is in his thrall. Disaster on the order of what Hitler did to Germany is on the horizon and approaching very fast. We have to get the voting rights legislation passed, our nation depends on it, if we do that there are enough of us to straighten out this mess, this is a battle that we must win, the stakes are that high.
can you imagine a lifetime in which every single time you opened your mouth a lie came out? And yet with 24/7 news coverage of DJT - it doesnt bother him or his twits one bit! Certainly telling, isnt it?
The Frontline show called The Decision (I think) about the upcoming presidential election did a deep dive into the both candidate's lives. It really drove home for me how Trump is just not a normal human being.
No he is not Kim. And these are not normal times. And it would be good for the press to keep that at top of mind when they write articles that strain to equate “both sides”.
I guess that was never a surprise - couldnt stand him from the moment I first heard of him - normal - far from "normal" & not a decent human being to put it plainly.
anyone who's lived in NYC for the last four decades knew what he is. it amazes me that ANYONE here voted for him (even on--god help us--Staten Island, which is mostly a fascist coven). and it's all about the excising of social studies as a serious subject in public schools. it was better back when I was in school, even if it wasn't great. but now, with these miserable tests, it's only about math and "English language arts," god help us yet again.
Approaching at the speed of a meteor. The absolute highest of stakes.
The R’s have used him to distract us for four years while the final pieces of endgame were tuned up and installed. The state houses. The judiciary. SCOTUS. Sleepers in all federal departments, including the military, etc. They’re out in the open now: attempted hostile takeover in CA, a completed one in VA. No attempt to hide what they are accomplishing in GA, TX, FL. (I feel like a raving paranoid, but my natural skepticism can’t overcome what I’m seeing!)
If they take the House and Senate next year, I am afraid it’s all OVER.
Well said Keith and Dick. It is sad that these knuckleheads can't put aside their politics to build infrastructure that will benefit this country and improve our economy. And the 13 Republicans who voted for the bill are getting backlash from breaking ranks from the likes of Green, Gaetz, and Boebert who called them RINOS. In reality, the 202 who voted against the bill are RINOS! And, how crazy is it that the Squad voted against it as well! So, this apparently isn't a socialist bill if the real claimers of that position voted in opposition.
Bipartisan opposition? No, Nancy had a comfortable margin, and apparently allowed the Squad to be true to what they are made of. It all worked out for the liberal good
Isn't it sad that a member of Congress can't vote their conscience without leadership permission or suffering insults from their party, which is what the 13 Republicans who gave Pelosi her comfortable majority endured.
it's funny. I keep seeing those scumbags in Congress being described as "highly educated." I take exception. they might have gone to good, expensive universities and top-rated law schools, but I still wouldn't call them "highly educated" if they either are or pretend to be yahoos because that tells me they didn't learn anything. or rather, anything of real value (like, say, honesty, morality, kindness or any of the "core values" everyone likes to pretend is somehow a part of "America's DNA." and lawyers reading this might resent a non-lawyer saying this (although I DID write briefs for two years in my brother-in-law's law practice), but a great memory and a reasonably intact intelligence (which is to say, an IQ in three digits) will get somebody through law school.
I would agree with your taking exception as well as the fact that most of them are scumbags. To me the fact that they are so divorced from the truth, not slightly shaded away, but not even on the same planet with it, is infuriating. They are playing a game with people’s lives and are smart enough to know it, and the people who’s lives are at stake are clueless about it. Dishonorable does not begin to capture a description of them.
Unfortunately not all in his thrall are "uneducated", or stupid. Just taken in. Saying that serves to feed division, feed their anger at the elites for condescending.
Yeah they are taken in - but as in a cult - its a safe place where they dont have to think! The elite excuse (?) is just another excuse to blame someone else - both the ones they call elites & "others" who they want to "keep in their place".

Nope! He is a bottom feeding creature Not a human being!
