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.

(942 posts)If trumps campaign staff wants him to lose? I mean I cant believe no one in charge of the rally knew what the comedian was going to say or they just didnt care? Of course trump is such an absolute lunatic Id bet hes very abusive to his campaign staff and who knows if theyre even getting paid.

(25,100 posts)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.

If thats the case, then I say bring it. Unlike in 2020, Biden is in charge during the election and post-election period, meaning in charge of the military, DOJ, DHS, intel community etc..

(25,100 posts)the damage to infrastructure and government institutions resulting from battles between the fascists and the supporters of democracy.
I believe that we will win in the end and that it is a battle worth fighting, but such battles within a nation are tragic and costly in so many ways.
Agree, but we must do whatever needs to be done to save our democracy, we did not ask for this confrontation, but we will not retreat.

(51,856 posts)Im glad that you have nothing more significant to worry about than the the harmless letters I use. How is RSO not applicable to my comments ?. And what do you consider meaningful titles ?
Bernardo de La Paz
(51,856 posts)"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.

Of course.

(25,100 posts)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 Im 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.

(2,535 posts)Yet another anagram to Google. All I get is Rick Simpson Oil.
Please, please, please (as requested about a million times on here before) if you must use anagrams instead of just, I don't know, SPELLING OUT THE WORDS, tell us what they mean. We don't all follow every single news cast out there, we are not on top of the cool anagrams. WTF does RSO mean?
It refers to my old job in the US State Department-Foreign Service, and it stands for Regional Security Office.

(19,977 posts)This is Donald J. Trump you're talking about. He called the COVID-19 pandemic a hoax and contributed to the deaths of over a million Americans and far from apologizing for that he actually thinks he should be receiving credit for the bang-up job he did! 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.

(28,834 posts)"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 presidents 2020 election claims shameful."
