Been thinking about this all day. How is it that our institutions are so fragile and protected or insulated from the ability to be politicized that anyone can run roughshod over them by installing loyalists and yes men. By definition this makes us an oligarchy, how does a country recover?
It has been there for many years, somehow some people have been able to stop it. Now, by packing Supreme courts, judges, gov, mayors- their plan has finally come together. No guard rails to protect our Democracy.
I heard that USA has the second highest % of population in prison in the world. Twas second only to South Africa? 🤔 So much for the "Land of the free". Now Trump wants to boost those numbers? Deportation camps, sounds like WW2 Jewish ghettos before Auschwitz etc 😬
Hi David I don't think. A president elect should talk. And talk. About his plans of getting revenge by trying to put people in. Jail. I. Hope Biden pardon s some I'm. Glad he pardoned hunter
Nothing is normal when it comes to Trump. I’m amazed he’s lived this long without pissing off the Mob and ending up with the legendary “cement shoes” in the river.
Yes, in many countri…wait, you’re talking about presidents who have been elected? Actually elected…not, you know, “elected”? Oh…no, that’s not normal, no.
No it's not and I consider the things he says as terroristic threats. I really wish our DOJ, FBI, etc. would man up and do something about this. He should not be let back in office. He's a threat to not only our democracy but to us as well.
We’ve been drowning in extreme right wing propaganda for the past 30 years. Sadly, it seems normal to me. Especially in Texas. The things I overhear people talking about down here is just insane.
Qualities I'd hope to see in a US President: kindness, compassion, respectfulness, wisdom, intelligence, and humility. Qualities I'd expect in a cartoon villain: hateful, vindictive, petty, greedy... hmmm...
Republicans love wasting taxpayers' money on meaningless politicized investigations. It will be four years of time wasting fruitless politicized investigations.
There's very little about Trump that anyone can call normal. He was raised and groomed to be what he is. He is a selfish elitist seeking friends with money. That's all he knows. IMHO
I'm guessing that I am about your mother's age or older. The answer to your question is "Fuck No!" I've been voting for a half century. This is all him.
I guess you’re right. I looked and couldn’t find another president-elect named Donald J Trump that has done it. I should have looked for something more specific. Stupid me.
Normal , along with Truth, Science & Morals, have all become divorced from their meanings. They are like free floating words now, released from the subjugation of meaning.
People voted against normalcy, so I don’t think that matters much. People may care about a new normal or a path to get themselves back on track. Everyone has their own selfish issues, but what guides people is where their hopes lie. Then we can talk about normalcy in this grievance era of politics
If the president is a corrupt and lawless fascist gangster, then yes, it would be normal for such a president to talk about weaponizing government against his political opponents and critics like that.
Nothing is /has/or will be normal about this one. No regard for anyone or democracy or protocol or respect. All about himself.
He is acting like a king w absolute power.
Makes my head hurt.
So good to see you on here! I follow you on youtube and watch you daily! Along with @adammockler.bsky.social & @lukepbeasley.bsky.social
I also have a podcast, however not political, but fully support your channels and messaging!
It's called using fear as a way to lead. Hoping folks self deport, Fed workers voluntarily quit, and many to obey in advance so they could get what they want. This is all they do in front of the TV screen, and MSM just keeps giving free air time.
Richard Branson has talked about the first time he had a conversation with Trump. They had lunch. Branson said that all Trump talked about was all the people he wanted revenge against. At that time it was mostly bankers who wouldn't loan Trump money.
What is truly wrong and embarrassing is the asshole is still walking around free. The TRAITOR and it needs to be said more should of been locked up on 1/7.
Normal used to be a setting on a washer, you'd put your cloths in and washed cloths would emerge. Now you select normal and the washer converts your clothing into apples.
Tell me David, why has Dr Phil endorsed Orange T. I can’t say his name.This means to me that Dr Phil has no integrity. He, in the past, has talked about what a psychopathic narcissist orange T is. I’d love an in-depth look at this.
Contrast that with Mark Cuban who stands up for our county.

Convicted Felon, More Reminiscent of Cartoon Villain Than Former President, Re-elected to the White House

None of this is fucking normal.
To be fair whats considered ‘normal’ now in the US has changed a lot since Trump’s first time around.

More normal for Trump’s “shithole” countries according to him. So what’s he making the US into?
Normal.
The fact that I now remember the fucking Bush admin as 'normal' is completely messed up.
But it was. Compared to this nuclear bomb level fuckery
Contrast that with Mark Cuban who stands up for our county.
