Deep down, they all know it’s true he said it. I keep thinking none of this ever matters, but somehow this seems different. It’s such a sad and despicable spectacle.
Letting go of Trump requires people on the right to acknowledge that their movement is flawed. For those who believe the holy gospel, there’s a sense of needing to defend the indefensible. Hopefully enough will move away from him to create the Democratic landslide that can begin to heal our nation. I believe it will take several good ass whompings before things really change. My sense is that even a narrow win in Texas won’t be enough unless it happens more than once.
Hearing he called veterans “losers” and “suckers” ought to really hit home that Trump cares for nobody except himself.
Millennials have sacrificed quite a bit in the sandbox. Having the president call my high school classmates and family members who served “losers” and “suckers” is keeping my will to see him out that much brighter.
First of all, Trumpolini is an historical ignoramus, and didn’t have the slightest understanding that he was being given the singular honor of paying tribute to the American WWI war dead on the 100th Anniversary of the Second Battle of the Marne, a battle in which the American marines were the decisive last ditch reserve that stopped Hindenburg and Ludendorf”s final massed German offensive on the western front. So the victorious marines were the precise opposite of “Losers”, but a total human failure like Donald Trump could no more comprehend this than he could Einstein’s theory of relativity (probably another… Read more »
I agree with the strategy you have laid out for Trump vis a vis this election, but it is really actually stupid. In many of the states that matter we have Democratic governors and SoSs, and the Supreme court for all its faults is not going to suddenly say that mail in ballots are invalid. Why? If they did, they know that they signed the death of the American experiment , and the country would literally be plunged into civil war. Can you really see Roberts doing this? I can’t. So then the ballots get counted, the trumpistas throw a… Read more »
Hello. Googling will provide a dozen articles detailing worst-case scenarios, if you want to read about possible Trumpian Reichstag Fire strategies. Trumpolini knows he cannot possibly win the popular vote and doesn’t offer even the slightest pretense that he can. So it’s all about gaming the electoral college and the slates of electors that go to DC. He’ll contest the final results in purple swing states he loses like PA, MI, NC, FL and WI, challenging that there is no way the final Blue Shift count can be correct because of all the mailed-in DEM VOTE FRAUD!! After litigating half… Read more »
I guess I simply have a hard time believing that the legislatures will deem the result invalid and that the national party will go along with it. I am well aware this is how democracies fail, but I do not believe even the Trumpiest of counties will consider completely and transparently overtaking democracy. Maybe that makes me naive and my optimism is highly misplaced. But we shall soon see. In the meanwhile as I mentioned, best to begin counting before election day if possible in as many states as doable
It is amazing how Trump hangs on to his base no matter what. I continue to believe that Biden has to get out there more or he will lose this thing. It is his to lose and hiding out will lose it for him. Biden does not seem to have the energy to do it. So I become more depressed each day he and Harris are hiding.
