Geraldo is on CNN right now demanding that DonOld apologize!

He is saying this won't blow over and if he wants any chance at all, he has to apologize. Seeing all this turmoil from former and current Maga members is heartwarming, I must say.

If trump’s campaign staff wants him to lose? I mean I can’t believe no one in charge of the rally knew what the comedian was going to say or they just didn’t care? Of course trump is such an absolute lunatic I’d bet he’s very abusive to his campaign staff and who knows if they’re even getting paid.

Mon Oct 28, 2024, 07:56 PM

mattered in 2020. Trump would never rely on something as uncertain as votes. He counts on controlling the outcome through his own plans and schemes. Mostly that means spreading chaos and disruption throughout the election process, declaring himself the winner, and backing that claim with force through terroristic guerrilla tactics.

So the Nazi rally at MSG was intended to fire up the faithful for battle, not to win votes.

"nothing more significant" I'm capable of holding more than one idea in my mind at a time. I would like to see you showing a little more consideration for DU readers to make their task easier.

When your posts get a hundred readers and you save yourself ten seconds by typing "RSO" instead of a meaningful title, you waste 100 x 10 seconds of readers' time scratching their heads over "RSO" and clicking through. Others don't click and skip over "RSO".

Your post #1 title should be "The felon is incapable of apologizing. . . . . nt" with no text. The nt ( "no text" ) would be a kindness to DU members, kindness being the DU way, letting the reader know that there is not body text. It saves them from having to click on the link to get the whole post.

#41 should be titled something like "Biden is in charge".

#57 could be titled "we must do whatever needs to be done to save our democracy" or "we did not ask for this confrontation".

#70 would treat readers better if it were titled "of course . . . nt".

#61 "RSO" was meaningfully titled since there you explained the cryptic acronym.

You can be obstinate and continue to title "RSO" or you can write for your readers.

Not sure that we can count on Congressional members being sworn in prior to J6. MAGAs will try to stop that, too, with their lies, refusals to certify winners, and general chaos.

But once Harris and Walz are sworn in, along with the Congressional members, she will need Dem majorities in both houses.

Of course having the legislative branch on her side would be very important for Harris, all I’m saying is that if I had to choose the most crucial of the three entities, the Presidency, and thus control of the Executive Branch, would be by far the most crucial in order to defeat MAGA.

This is Donald J. Trump you're talking about.

So you think he'll apologize now for insulting the over eight million Puerto Ricans living on the island and in the mainland? Dream on bub.

"Rivera, once widely known as an ally of Trump, grew increasingly critical of the former president and his alleged efforts to overturn the election since late 2020.

In the weeks following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Rivera called for Trump to be impeached, accusing the president of fueling the violent riot; and last fall, the TV personality said he could never support Trump, calling the former president’s 2020 election claims “shameful.”"
