Dear MAGA supporters who feel compelled to waste our time by posting a comment: I block MAGA supporters just like I would block Al Qaeda supporters. The leaders of both MAGA and Al Qaeda led terrorist attacks against our nation. Like Al Qaeda, MAGA is a terrorist threat to the USA.

Thank you. Those people don't have any descency. They have a mouth full of rubbish and hatred.

Or just repeatedly shilling that the entire GQP is active Russian agents. Us Cold War babies remember.

Imagine what the GOP would have done if OBAMA was charged with this.

Lynch mobs storming the White House....

What does Gaza in 2024 have to do with the Bloated Yam from 2017 to 2021?

Post hoc ergo propter hoc is great fun, but not a good argument.

The over-the-top Christian Nationalists and MAGA cult members have guzzled the Kool-Aide and are beyond reach of sane, logical reasoning. The message should be aimed at defecting Republicans who are torn but don’t feel safe with Biden. The undecided are a bit thick in the head - they see the evidence but are unsure of their own capacity for decision making. No one wants to be wrong. We must convince them that it’s not a mistake to vote for Joe.

And itks not the lesser of two evils. It’s the classic case of good guy vs. evil, insane guy.

You are exactly right!

I'm appalled with the GOP and the Supreme Court, they should all be locked up for violating the Constitution in favour of the orange monster, they're a disgrace and History will remember.

Yes! Have the SCOTUS members thought about what history will say?

. . . and the MAGA munchkins in Congress?

They don't care, people like Alito and Thomas have no principles, only getting rich off of their maga buddies.

And let's hope he will be CONVICTED on 1 or more of those 91 charges.

But will Trump be convicted? CAN Trump be convicted??

Say you're a jury member in one of Trump's trials. While deliberating, a thought occurs to you.

"A conviction requires unanimous agreement. That puts a MAGA target on my and all my fellow trial peers' backs for the rest of our lives. If I or ANY single holdout prevails, we're ALL safe. It's just not worth it. I need to think of my FAMILY."

If the US Institutions, (Senate impeachment convictions, SCOTUS decisions, etc,) cannot or will not hold Trump accountable due to the threat of stochastic terrorism, what's the likelihood a jury of 12 common Americans can or will??

I'm worried that once Trump's trials come up to bat, he'll avoid conviction by inducing fear, as usual.

Must review @Joyce Vance, “Civil Discourse “, how jury identity will be protected. Have read before and recall their names will not be used only faces will be apparent. Cell phones likely barred from proceedings. And none will be televised. In thinking about Putinesque risk, they could wear masks 🎭. Is there a law against that? Better yet, have women wear the Burqa typical of Muslim women in their countries of origin, supply males with military fatigues and masks. If that is against the law, get a state or federal court exception prior to jury selection. Emergent. SCOTUS is uniformly partial to Trump, but would they fail to protect jurors? Don’t know if we don’t try. It’s a thought worth the safety and cooperation of jury pool.

It is a risk the jury must take for the good of our country. Otherwise we will be living in fear for the rest of our lives if trumpet wins the elections.

FAIR, but what about the way major media supresses and spins history, facts, details??? They have more daily reach to an impressionable voting public than do government/politicians.

It takes Democratic leaders saying it to get the media to cover it. Do Republicans wait for the media? Nope the GOP creates the media narratives. That is what our Dem leaders need to do!

Expand full comment

Absolutely agree with you. It's time for Democratic leaders to do more to get the facts out there. Love the idea of saying NO to any briefings ( not that he would read them, but somebody will help him out as they did before). Pound it in that he cannot be trusted with such information and it's not mandatory anyway, only a courtesy extended.

Every American should agree about this; it's not a political matter. Trump is simply a danger to the U.S.

I like your idea of working Espionage into every conversation. Maga repeats, repeats, repeats until lies are ‘truth’ we can surely repeat the truth until it seeps into their thick heads.

LOCK HIM UP!

Yeah, why not chant that at rallies? Worked for them… 🤔😉😊

Yes, exactly what Dean is saying, democrats need to be more proactive and pound on the public ears all the wrong and unscrupulous things trumpet has done and continues doing . Our country will be in shambles if trumpet becomes the next leader.

So will the UK 🇬🇧🙁

We need to remind them not just with words but pictures. They need to be reminded with their own eyes.

Frankly I would like to see Dark Brandon either personally or thru his spokespeople say that in spite of the tradition that presidential candidates receive classified briefings, Trump will not because he is currently charged with 32 counts of violating the Espionage Act and has a well documented, and admitted , history of being casual with the nation's secrets. Let the right wing scream all they want.

Expand full comment

Unfortunately you’ll never reach 35% of the population posting the facts. They are beyond redemption. Either these Magas are too stupid or too stubborn to admit they’re making a mistake supporting TFG.

I do strongly agree that Biden and the rest of his administration should be out there screaming from rooftops all day, every day that TFG is a traitor and a threat to our country.

32 violations of the Espionage Act. Say it over and over.

And end with “Lock Him Up”

Enough of this “we go high” BS. It’s time to bring a gun to a gunfight.

The Democrats are the PROBLEM...They were elected to PROTECT US and they ARE NOT OPENING THEIR MOUTHS AND TELLING THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WILL DO...SO SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE LEADERSHIP AND IN THE ALLOWING OF A MINORITY TO BLAST THEIR LIES

Watch the State of the Union tonight at 21:00 hours, EST, on NBC or whenever earlier in your time zone.

What a silly thing to say. Just because Dems haven’t responded well doesn’t transfer the problem to them. Did you actually think before you typed this? That’s like saying the police is the problem instead of the criminal. Honestly I see way too many absurd takes like this nowadays.

Maybe chanting "Lock Him Up" at Biden campaign stops isn't such a bad idea. Unlike Hilary who had no indictments, civil judgements, or any real investigations during her campaign, but was the victim of interference by foreign actors in coordination with Trumps campaign. DJT is a winner when it comes to being credibly indicted or found liable for criminal activity, the message needs to be repeated and "dumbed down" we need to be crystal clear about DJT and his horrific track record as well as his plans for a second administration. In the alternative how about this: "Convict the Don, Get Trump Gone"
