Republicans, especially the men, who stuck with Trump have proven to me that they are, and always have been, cowards and hypocrites. With century-high sanctimony levels they lied to everyone (including themselves) that they were the ones with values. Yeah, Trump's values of lying, sexual assault permissiveness, fraud, tax cheating, and hyper-narcissism.
The saddest part is that tens of millions of Americans are so stupid, ignorant, and evil that they are good to go with this. What is with you, America? So, so sick your country is. So full of SHIT was Bill "I know better than you" puke-boy Bennett. Republicans with morals today? HA!
I know Democrats are accused of being "snowflakes," but I think it is the opposite. I have a long-time friend who is so wrapped up with Trump that unless I guard my tongue, our friendship will probably end. I am uncommitted to a party and will continue to vote for the person who is the most qualified and the one who works for our country and the people in it. I have a choice now to ignore some of my friend's excessive need to be right or to just put an end to the relationship. I have valued this person as a friend but it feels like they don't understand or care that my opinion is just as valid as theirs. I think a lot of people are going through this very situation now.
I “enjoyed” this read from Charlie Sykes and the ending from Andrew Egger. It is alarming to see the contorted positions that taRump’s GOP supporters have taken in the ensuing years since he first announced his candidacy. He was found guilty of lying about the 2016 election campaign and payments made to Stormy Daniel’s while in the White House and an affair he had with Karen McDougall that was “killed” by the National Enquirer publisher David Packer. His entire life he’s engaged in lying, cheating, denying and conning people.
It will not be over with a Harris win, we saw that with Obama before, how the GOP has an underlying problem with people of color let alone the opposite sex. They went crawling back after an insurrection at the nation’s Capitol so what makes us believe it would be any better in 2024 and beyond. All I have to say, today.
Charlie, I hope Mitt Romney reads this indispensable post and comes to his senses. He says he cannot endorse Kamala Harris because he wants to preserve his voice for the reclamation and rebuilding of the Republican party after trump. This is pure delusion. History's summons to make a difference falls on Mitt's deaf ears.
The CONVICTED FELON and his MAGA/GQP/WCN Extremist Cult sycophants lack any responsibility, integrity, or moral or ethical principles. They are intent on destroying our country.
Don’t let Trump and his constant boorish behaviour wear you down. Everyone’s tired including the grifter in chief. Remember what’s at stake. Life as we know it and Trump dictating everything, everything important to all of is. Suck it up, VOTE and wait for the onslaught afterwards. This is a marathon not a sprint.
I'm still trying to figure out what ? If any ? Good he did ? Can anyone name one good fucking thing he's ever done ?? The Repubs say well he delivered ? WTF did he deliver other than the richest 1% a complete tax loophole , and that hurt our economy and the people of the" We The People" ..if you can say or find one good thing please let US know
MAGA won’t be gone when he loses. As long as he’s running the party they will cling to his dying breath until he’s 6 ft under next to Ivanna on the golf course. The next MAGAt will step up (DeSantis, Couch Boy, Abbott, dog killer Noem, etc) but they’ll never have the Jim Jones effect. The never Trumpers might as well start the party of independence (note I didn’t say independents) eventually the MAGAts will be the ones floundering around like lost, dead souls that God hasn’t decided if they’re going to heaven or hell. (Preferably the latter after what they’ve put us through).
I’m not so confident. Once he dies, we could be stuck with the couch-fucker. That’s why we can’t allow him to be elected. And we should be prepared for his demented followers to engage in extensive violence, whether or not he loses, but especially if he loses. They’re all such CORRUPT TRAITORS.
The slime of envy, bigotry, and vanity that millions of Americans previously kept locked away in their miserable little hearts, Newt Gingrich, Rush Limbaugh and Fox News fertilized and they burst-forth when Obama was twice elected. I know otherwise rational people who so hated Hillary that they voted for Trump “Never thinking he’d win.” Now, MAGA’s in full bloom, like some enormous stinking red tide, and we’re stuck in the midst of it.
"Although optimists continue to insist that our system of checks and balances is holding up well, many of our norms turn out to be based on an honor system rather than hard and fast rules. And when we no longer have honorable people in power, those norms turn out to be more fragile that we had imagined."
So much of our system depends on people having respect for the rule of law. t***p is proud to have none. The supreme court bowed to his wishes in a breathtaking abdication that will leave them totally powerless against his worst abuses. Either they rule for him or he ignores them. What I remember most vividly from that October 8 years ago was just a few days later, the last dump of DNC e-mails ordered I am sure by Manafort. I believe they had mean't to hold them until a week before the election but they could not wait so they dumped them and MSM dutifully pushed access hollywood from the headlines and replaced it with Hillary and e-mails. It then fell to Comey to provide the final dagger a few days before the election.

Traitor Trump is the scum of the Earth!
Thanks to Moses and Auggie

republicans are sick in the head.
all of them.
if they were healthy, they wouldn't be republicans. they deserve to be ignored if they're passive, and jailed if they're aggressive.
concentrate on legitimate points of view.

"Now that it is in power, the Trumpian right often feels more like a personality cult than a political movement."
Technically, "a personality-disorder cult."
"Although optimists continue to insist that our system of checks and balances is holding up well, many of our norms turn out to be based on an honor system rather than hard and fast rules. And when we no longer have honorable people in power, those norms turn out to be more fragile that we had imagined."
