Honestly that’s the least of my concerns. If I thought he’d do a good job, I could live with him being a bad person. Not idea but I could live with it.
But the worst thing is that half the country is stupid enough to think he’s going to do well by them (and that Biden wasn’t).
Never elect someone you know is a bad person. Character counts! I would much rather elect someone with good character because they will try to do the right thing, even if they’re not perfect.
I’d like him to be able to do both. Would that be asking too much? And Clinton was a womanizer, but he was a decent guy in other respects. I think he genuinely cared about our country. & he didn’t want to invade sovereign nations.
Oh trust me I would obviously prefer both. I’m just saying the damage his policies will do to this country are a far greater concern than him being a bad human.
None of the great things Biden did as president will matter if he fails now. He will either be remembered as the president who let fascism take over, or the president who had the courage to save us all from it.
As a Canadian, I'm going to speak frankly. There has always been a perception that Americans are some of the most self-centered individuals on Earth. Do I believe every American is? Of course not, but I have to stay electing Trump in after all he's done is not helping.
What boggles my mind is the number of democratic voters that weren’t interested enough to get their ass off the couch and vote. Perfect example of “my vote won’t matter” ignorance.
It isn’t just social media. It’s social media combined with laziness. Not caring enough to research the truth. Not being educated enough to realize when you’re being conned.
It goes to show what a lot of countries have said about America, can not be trusted!! A lot has been said in the past about self interest, and this has shone through. What Trump has exhibited is a truer reflection as seen by others.
Many of us (I won’t say we because it wasn’t you and it wasn’t me) have become so greedy, so selfish, so fearful, so ignorant, so complacent or some combination of all of the above.
Yes, they did actually try that. Too bad the Supreme Court of the land intervened and decided Trump should have full immunity for all his criminal and corrupt actions.
Yes, I know that. So that was it? Nothing they could do?
Destroying Trump and MAGA should have been Garland and Biden's top priority.
Biden's probably even attending the "inauguration"....
As terrible as you and I feel, I can only imagine how awful the police who were attacked in 1/6 feel. I’m so disappointed in the American voter. It will take years to rebuild our reputation and our country after DJT and the MAGA GOP leave Washington.
Yeah, the stench of that orange menace & his MAGA cultist will take years to rid of, if ever. He could change the Constitution & install himself president for life (like Putin did) & his cultists will go along with him. He has all levers of the government, including Supreme Court, in his hands now.
Trump threatens to shred part of the 14th Amendment.
His SCOTUS allies nullified another part of the 14th because it was unhelpful to him.
They invented a nonconstitutional doctrine that the president is above the law - flouting a clause that says a president may in fact be subject to prosecution.
That isn't the worst part. It's that the great majority of Americans either wanted that or didn't care. The country is going to shit because most Americans want that. They want the rich to be oligarchs and everyone else to have nothing because they are selfish and think they will be one of the rich.
All of far right movements from Silver Shirts, KKK, Kuhn’s Bund Nazis to everything in between 1930s and now worked tirelessly for this moment in history. LBJ said “we have lost the South for generation”. For a lot more than that sadly. 🙁
When you find yourself
subjected to the rants of
Trump, Musk and FOX
news remind yourself
from time to time that
before the internet all of
this would have been
merely the scrawlings
on toilet walls in unkept
public bathrooms or the
floors of padded cells.
Remember when it was scandalous and impeach worthy to have “sexual relations” with someone other than your wife. We’ve taken a horrible turn for the worse.

How do you get it back?
Restoring the foundations of decency, selflessness and a shared understanding of how a nation state functions.
We are facing a similar crisis here in the UK.
JUST LIKE how the word "socialism" triggers conservatives.
Basically

I’d rather Trump understand the importance of NATO, or know how tariffs work, than be a good guy.
Trump IS disqualified, by law.
Biden must act.

Don’t look @ me, I kept my dignity. I voted 4 d Black/So. Asian lawyer lady & d high school teacher.
Hopefully, it was all unintentional.
Did they even try?
