    Elvis Presley’s Suspicious Minds – was followed by the tinny sound of Justice for All, a rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner sung by defendants jailed over their alleged roles in the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

    He added: “We have languages coming into our country … they have languages that nobody in this country has ever heard of. It’s a horrible thing.”

    Among the great tragedies of our time is the fact that this slimy rapist dirtbag conman isn’t already yesterday’s news. Fade the fuck away, Donald.

    The American right are beyond pathetic that this whining fat orange bitch is the best they’ve been able to come up with for 3 consecutive election cycles. At best he’s a distraction from the shit our country needs to do and at worst he’s a danger to the entire world, us included. Demented dotard belongs in jail and nowhere near the levers of power.

      He’s not a danger himself. He’s not in the shape for anything but hospice.

      This is elder abuse and I feel terrified at the thought of anybody being in his skin.

          i’m sorry he was abused, but at some point, a person can just be a worthless pos.

    There’s the quiet part that gets said out loud.
    then there’s the part that they think, loudly.
    Then there’s the parts that are so awful, they even think them quietly.

    I’m genuinely creeped out that someone saying these things can have so much support. Honestly I just want to go home and hide under the bed. A year ago when people said things about Trump like “authoritarian” and “fascist” and whatever else it was kinda true but also some hyperbole. Now it’s just plain true.

        Exactly. Anyone saying Trump criticism was just hyped up bullshit is a straight moron, or completely in denial. Sure, he’s just saying it plainly now, but it was really fucking obvious previously.

          Same as his cultists who can’t face reality. They didn’t take him seriously and they don’t want to admit they were duped. (Yes, that’s an intentionally vague “they” because it applies to both sides)

      Because someone else wrote it.

      Trump is a moron and can barely string a sentence together when he is winging it. When he has a prompt and someone he owes money to tells him what to say, he is as eloquent as he can be.

      I feel like the only one who sees through the bullshit. I feel like I’m the only one who has realized that trump isn’t a smart person nor good at speaking unless he has a script to follow that he can’t diverge from because as soon as he does the crazy cat lady is on display.

          From what I see here and previously on reddit and when I was sort of (but not really) active on fb. I definitely feel like that or at the least I’m one of only a few willing to call out insanity and try to educate others so we all have a better future.

          If more people like us would step up and be more active online and off, we may have been able to avoid the whole trump in office bit to begin with. I know that most us are not spotlight friendly and would rather just be left alone but we can’t live like that for the foreseeable future. Not until enough of the maggats and their leaders are in jail or barred from politics for life.

          I was telling everyone I knew about trump when he first ran this time around. Even in my circles I’m an exception who knew what trump was and has known for 30+ years.

      Sure, but that “success” are coming after his “day 1 dictator” comments-- just a few short dots to connect and come up with the original title here.

        Sure, but then quote the actual problematic comments, don’t purposely mislead with the one thing he said that wasn’t problematic. That just gives fuel to their persecution complex.

          Right, but every new article seems to treat him with a blank slate. You could write a completely unbiased true article saying “Convicted rapist who wants to be dictator ‘for day one’ of his presidency says that he’ll use the ‘success of the US’ as his ultimate revenge.”

          The news fucking kowtows to this fascist’s feelings far too much IMO. Seems biased in the opposite direction, just so they can maintain a “neutral” tone.

          edit: of course all news has bias, I meant truth instead

      These manipulative headlines only help Trump. In the same speech he says he is the only person who can stop WW3. A ridiculous statement that only a cult leader would say. He also said that Biden approved Nord Stream on day 2 of his presidency which is a complete lie. Nord Stream 1 was blown up and then Biden got Germany to cancel Nord Stream 2. The opposite of what Trump said. There is plenty of valid criticisms and no need to be manipulative of Trump’s words.

      No, we have other better options, but liberals will refuse to vote for anyone who they haven’t had led to them by the DNC establishment, and then act like everyone else is enabling fascism by suggesting actual leftist leadership.

        Why do you think that regular voters get to decide who the DNC candidate is during a Democratic incumbent administration?

        If you abstain from voting because you equate Biden to be as bad as Trump, Trump will be the next President. Don’t be a fucking idiot.

          I’m afraid of it but I agree with you because “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity” so it’s very much possible for the orange leader to occupy the White House again, and possibly for the rest of his days.

      Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame.

      His venues have hosted Wrestlemanias, and he and Vince had a hair vs hair feud that culminated in a Wrestlemania match - Trump won.

      No idea why this isn’t brought up more - the WWF in the late 90s was incredibly vulgar, racist, and sexist. And Trump intentionally associated with it. Why is that never discussed?

          Right, which makes Trump look like a giant fucking loser for working repeatedly with WWE since the 80s.

          Which is why the Dems/Nikki Haley/Jeb should have brought it up repeatedly
