....all the despicable things Trump has done.

Biden could publish it all; he has immunity, but we Democrats don't play that way, which is why we are in the middle of this fucking nightmare.

I realized yesterday that at the age of 77, I would likely not live long enough to see the Democracy my family defended while in uniform through three wars to have it stolen. And I will likely not see it return.

Do we seriously think Judge Marchan in NYC will sentence a president-elect to anything? Jack Smith is looking to close the 1/6 case. FL docs case was already dismissed by Cannon. Not sure about the GA case although Fani Willis was just re-elected. Something about not prosecuting a sitting president,. He gets away with everything. He can practically walk on water at this point. I am so disgusted his slate will be wiped clean. He only ran to get out of the legal problems and it worked because of the stupidity of the American voters.

was a very old Newsweek cover of Ronald Reagan, which was unretouched, with more wrinkles than Keith Richards. Somebody wrote to the magazine a few weeks later saying, to the effect, the cover was a "tribute to mortuary science."

Fri Nov 8, 2024, 01:04 AM

It was a nice effort. There's still room on the right side of the cover. What about the bottom. What about the center? They need more room....... maybe reduce the font size?

What about Con man? Rapist? Pathological Liar? Extreme Narcissist? Insurrectionist? Clown? Racist? It goes on and on and on.

I want to know how 1 person that has insulted so many different people, can still get the support of all these people over an educated black woman?

He has insulted women, black people, Muslims, hispanics, migrants, Mexicans. And this list goes on and on.

And then, to make matters worse, he praises Russians, North Koreans, dictators, etc. People that abuse power for their own gain?

WTH is wrong with this picture? This whole situation will be studied for years, as it's totally unprecedented(which should be his middle name), and goes against all logic. It's sad, It's tragic.

And here we go again. This time around, I can almost guarantee "We the people" will have much less money annually, and the country's debt will be totally out of control. And yet, the 1% will become much richer.

If I didn't know better, one would think it certainly had to rigged in his favor, for something like this to happen?

I, and millions of people are still in shock, and may never recover from this whole situation. How could this be true in the U.S.?

I only hope we have some type of democracy left, 4 years from now.

God help us all.

It's almost guaranteed to be worse than the first 4.
