There was never any doubt about the nature of Trump’s character or his ambitions or the fact that he would go any lengths to achieve them. Why so many of didn’t see that from day one in 2016 is beyond me.
Before the elected Dems treat the sitting president like a super old rapist, felon, and insurrectionist, they can first treat him like their former president. Last Summer, the elected Dem launched a brilliant well-coordinated 24-7 information campaign on the mental decline of their candidate. The campaign is honest and persuasive. It was so successful that it quickly disqualified their candidate by breaking the base support. It proves the elected Dem can fight the sitting president. The capability is right there.
Last summer, no elected Dem thought the voter had exonerated the elderliness of the former president with the highest number of votes in US history 4 years ago. By treating the current president as the former one, they can choose not to assume the voter had exonerated the insurrection of the current president he launched 4 years ago with a 1.5% margin.
Treat Trump as Biden first. Then practice your way of treating him like a real super old rapist, felon, and insurrectionist.
I think that, perhaps, Trump has NOT violated his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. The Oath calls for the President to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution "to the best of my abilities." Given that Trump has essentially zero ability to either comprehend the meaning of the words in the Constitution or to govern according to its principles, ignoring the Constitution's provisions and principles IS his best ability. All the worse for the citizens of this country and of the world.
The Democrats are overreacting to what happened in 2024. Trump barely won. Democrats lost seats in the US House and only gained a few seats in the Senate even though the Republicans had a phenomenal map and could have gained seven to eight seats easily. The Democrats need to tweak their message. But 2024 is not 1980 or 1984. Those were actual landslides
You are correct. Before the elected Dems start any congressional fight, they need to simply review fifth-grade math. Trump at best gets a 1.5% mandate. That's it. Only a third of Joe's Mandate in 2021. He is still getting net negative favorability and approval ratings in the latest polls. These numbers don't add up to a Reagan landslide. The sooner the elected Dems pull the elementary school math books from the closet, the better they can fight.
What the Democrats need to do is to start using traditional Republican issues that Trump has abandoned against republicans. Trump wants to run up huge deficits. I remember when Republicans were against that at least on paper. Republicans used to also support police officers. Now they support pardons of people who beat up police officers. The list goes on.
I'll post this as a comment in a few places to spread the word, but as I wrote in a post I published this morning, I think people need to write their Congresspeople to put pressure on Speaker Johnson to refuse any requests to allow January 6th attackers to come to the Capitol building as honored guests for the State of the Union address. I included something folks can send to their Congresspeople and Senators on my post. I have no hope that we can forestall it, but I see it as a real possibility and it troubles me greatly.
Execute has more than onemeaning and I think that trumpdoes plan to “faithfully execute the office of president as in, execute: : to put (someone), - or in trump’s case something- to death trump will kill the office of the presidency and tuen it into a cult of personality where he must be worshiped.
Secondly, you expect dems to act with strength instead of weakness. Unwise assumption when it comes to patty cake dems. Dems will be cowering in their corners hoping no one yells at them for being disagreeable. Coons is a perfect example of trying to work with the mad king.
Godless pastors and priests are trying to out praise the media regarding trump. Disgusting.
He has a problem he cannot solve. Out where I live egg prices didn’t go up as much as other places. But yesterday, on sale I got a dozen for $7.50 (from the usual price of $10, a few weeks ago I could get them for $5)—and I live in a community which is working class. Gas prices also jumped up overnight, last week. When prices don’t go down, like he has promised, the disgruntlement, even of his voters, will sink in.

Somebody should tell the POS he doesn't have a mandate, because he and Johnson and Thune think he does.

I think Mrs trump wears ugly clothes on purpose. It's the only people will talk about her
She was hiding her face, as well she should. She forgets she is no longer a model.
Great Shots today, Bill! Thank you for your clarity and your courage.
