He's a malignant narcissist that will never have empathy, compassion, or any care for anyone but himself. His rhetoric is no longer just insanity but very dangerous! His lies cause his cult followers to take out their blind anger on those not like them and he knows this! He's put a huge target on his back and he thinks he's not only above the law but untouchable. I've forsee his days being limited on this Earth.

I personally think he's a psychopath, but that's just me.

It is possible to be both. And he is.

A malignant narcissist displays characteristics of both narcissism and psychopathy/sociopathy. Evil and dangerous.

You are certainly correct about Biden as demonstrated by his actions and inactions!

Expand full comment

Biden has done more for the working class than Trump ever did. Infrastructure bill, the Chips act, prescription price controls, help for our veterans. Remember Trump's middle class tax cut? You know, the nickel we got that we had to pay back at the end of the year. That was temporary, set to expire this year. But the wealthy got the permanent 10 percent tax cut. Yeah, Trump's a great guy.

Trump reduced taxes for the super wealthy by cutting their tax rate by two trillion dollars during his first term as President. He swore if he got back in the White House he would cut the super wealthy's tax rate by five trillion dollars. Which means the little people will make up the difference with higher taxes and with cutting programs benefiting the less wealthy. Too bad MAGAs didn't realize that.

The list as to what Biden accomplished would circle the globe ten times. He never stopped. Just what he has done in the last ten days boggles the mind. And none of it is reported. If you are truly interested go to the White House web site. It is sad but inevitable today. No one seeks the truth just gobbles down what is force fed and then regurgitates it as if they were a qualified journalist. We are all stuck staring at our own navels.

Exactly. The dims have had control 12 of 16 years (not counting the illegal abuse on the entire Trump family) and look at the country. They own it!! Trump broke records despite of the illegal actions against him.

Expand full comment

Broke records for what?

The most devisive President?

The most uneducated President?

The President that allowed millions of Americans to needlessly die from a virus? For lying more than any President in history? For being a racist? For being rapist? For being a felon? For being the most immature President?

People died because 45 called Covid a hoax and some believed him. Citizens refused to get vaccinated and died. I believe I read that the U.S. had the highest per capita death rate from Covid in the World. However when 45 got Covid he was in the hospital and got the special stuff for Covid. I've forgotten what it was called. Right before 45s term was up both he and Melania were vaccinated.

Obama got the country prospering after the Bush administration got us into the worst recession in decades (the recession prior to that was during the Regan administration) and Biden has moved our country back to prosperity after trumps awful handling and denial of Covid. Sure things aren’t perfect but with Trump back in office you’re about to find out just how bad they can get. By the way, after trump won the election he admitted that he doesn’t think he can get the prices of groceries down so don’t hold your breath on that.

Trump is a convicted felon. He's been impeached twice. 139 of the top US military leaders, John Bolton, Mark Esper, Miles Taylor, Adm McCraven, Milley have all called Trump a National Security failure and threat. Trump sided with North Korea over South Korea and Japan over the US Navy's annual sea drills with our allies. He's been held liable for sexual assault. And let's not forget Jan 6. "Dims"? Hate to say it Vicky, but who's really dim?

On a side note, Trump's family was never Illegally abused. Just don't BREAK THE LAW.

Trump broke records, like the most indictments for a former president and the most lies told while in office, over 30,000. Achievements to be proud of, surely.

I don’t agree with a single word you’ve written, but maybe if you’re on this site long enough you’ll begin to see that you’ve been fed a lot of lies. Listen/read with an open mind, with critical thinking. It’s what we all need to do if we truly love our country.

Critical thinkers would never have voted for 45 nor would they be defending him.

Jennifer, don't waste your thoughts or feelings on a MAGA. They're beyond help. Maybe one day they'll wake up but many will not. Trying to change a MAGA will frustrate and tire you. I tried to change a MAGA's mind but nothing made a difference. She was not "an inquiring mind" and nothing I said made a difference. I learned my lesson. Like in the Bible "Don't throw your pearls before swine" which was what I felt I was doing. It's just too exhausting!.

yup the great divider, can you believe Charlie Kirk is out there blaming the California fires on lesbians. These people would never pass a State police psychiatric exam if they were forced to go under arrest the cops would say they are crazy and wanna lock them up for treatment. I've seen it happen before it's very depressing what our country has come to because it's hard to have any pride when you can't even talk to people you used to think were your friends because their heads all messed up because of some cult they got into. I also don't think any foreigner from South Africa should be telling our country how to run itself I have to wonder who is the big power behind all this governmental overthrow business because somebody has got a lot of money and this was before Elonia

At 10:38 a fire broke out less than .25 miles from me. Within 5 minutes helicopters started dropping water. Fire fighters were also on the ground. Within 2 hours the fire only burned 37 acres. Los Angeles firefighters 🚒 are the best. The wind patterns drove the devastating fires.

Just wait until you see our Sky Lasers. We also control the weather for the entire U.S. here from CA. Wind, rain, sleet, and snow. Bet you didn't know that!

Thank you. i"m all the way on the other coast but I have no doubt in my mind or heart that CAL_Fire is doing everything they possibly can to protect lives and property. Long ago when I took EMT/Paramedic training, some of it was done at a fire station so I got used to being around a bunch of firefighters. (I also have a cousin who's one). They are a tribe unto themselves; they were great teachers for us, and I have nothing but love and respect for them. They taught me what an honorable thing it is to be a First Responder, no matter what kind. Politicizing any kind of disaster like this is an insult to people who work their ass off and risk their own lives to care for others. Don't do it within my hearing, you might need a medic yourself when I'm done with ya.

Like my grandfather my dad had a TN accent even though he was born in AR. My grandfather moved to AR cause he was a bigamist. He didn't have to pay alimony or child support that way. His daughter from the first marriage didn't track her father down in KS until the 1940s. My mom was from MO and I didn't speak properly for a CA child. The kids at school made fun of my speech. I spent the rest of my life trying to improve the way I spoke. Funny thing was people then thought I was from New York.

You're right. That would be interesting to see. Of course since we'd be a different country, they couldn't threaten us in the same ways they do now. Not that people who want to annex Canada would let us go in the first place. The thought of Trump being in Lincoln's position makes my head hurt.

Trump pulled the same bs (withholding PPE etc.) with Michigan during Covid. We were Democrat and had a Female Governor!!! Trump hated that! Michigan was also hit hard early with Covid because of the auto industry is international. Lots of travel between Detroit and China.

Detroit is a black city and we all know that Trump is a white supremacist - so we had a difficult time getting help from the Trump administration during Covid.

The sexist pos also didn’t say anything after the FBI had to stop the kidnap threat against her. Didn’t give a crap. Trump still hates Detroit.

He said if he lost every place would be like Detroit. Good - Canada is across the Bridge.We have plenty of water. The infrastructure is being rebuilt. Our ultra rich DONATE their money to help others.

Hey, if your biggest concern is the price of eggs, of course, you are going to believe the man who tells (lies) in the campaign that he can lower food prices. One Maga person was on a call in show and her comment sums it up, "We don't want a moral leader. We want someone who can lower prices." Unfortunately, soon after the election donOld admitted that it is hard to lower food prices.

Expand full comment

Food prices will skyrocket when undocumented are no longer here as Trump shows them the door. Between tariffs and no one working in agriculture the simple supply and demand will take effect quickly. Intelligent people know this.

Not to mention the crops that are left in the fields to rot; like what happened to the strawberries & green beans a number of years ago.

His voters don't appear to be critical thinkers and many are poorly educated. Nor do they appear to do any research on the candidates or political issues. For example, many of 45s voters didn't know the consumer pays the cost of tariffs. They didn't know that tariffs would drive the cost of food, clothing, furniture, and gasoline up. Tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico will cause inflation to increase here in the U.S.

Already expected Trump to do nothing or even try to obstruct relief efforts and then pin the blame on others. He wants to make as big a mess as he can possibly get and then work to obstruct cleanup efforts unless he can find a way to steal the credit for things he didn’t do. It’s unreal how so many people are afraid of offending a senile toddler instead of putting their feet down. Once you force Trump to have to do actual work, that’s when he will go into total panic and coward mode and run away from everything

McConnell and the other GOP politicians knew what 45 was like back in 2015. They viewed him as a useful idiot and even said so. If he could sign his name the GOP were happy campers.
