Drumpf's inauguration size obsession is a trigger from him looking in the mirror right out of the shower and finally understanding he would always be flaccid - and so very very tiny - and the reason he always had to pay for sex - and if only, Stormy's payoff hadn't backfired on him - he might be the Fuehrer today. “Leader”, the title used by Adolf Hitler to define his role of absolute authority (recognize those words from the Law & Order President?) in Germany's Third Reich (1933–45). NO PITY. NO MERCY. JUST JUSTICE.

All these people claiming voter fraud. I recall my voting printout confirming my selections. How can it be fraud if your selections matched your printout? The only fraud is those Republicans tired of Trump's bullshit. Scared to admit they voted for BIDEN. And then claiming the election was stolen. Thanks for your vote!

Let's be honest, if trump were to have had his "Reichstag fire" things might be VERY different. The insurrection at our Capitol may have been the last hail mary attempt. Thankfully they failed, but we know this now: Republicans don't care. They routinely aided and abetted trumps behavior. They stood AGAINST Nixon, now they are complicit in trumps criminality just to stay in power. They are willing to trade the very foundation of American Democracy to hold on to their own power.

I read the suggestion somewhere that the FCC needs labels or disclaimers legislation for Opinion networks such as Fox, AON and others. There should be labels like the movie and music industry has... there should be a large scrolling disclaimer every 30 minutes or so that repeats that the show isn't "news" but only represents the opinion of the network and is not pretending to present the truth. I think that this would go a long way towards breaking this cycle for a few of our citizens... for to "re-educate" these folks will be nearly impossible, or will be generational rehabilitation. It is becoming absolutely absurd and disgusting and we cannot continue in the current direction to have a healthy nation. We need to pressure the FCC to place labels on these networks.

I just find is so strange that the will of the people is spoken of so sharply, yet some refuse to acknowledge that the will of the people was Biden to be president. We spoke and chose Biden. I voted for Biden because I am tired for the suffering I see in our country. I always remind people that we live in a Democratic Republic, they seem to forget. I really dislike how voting is just a figurehead because the electoral college is the group that REALLY decides who get's what points. Sure they MAY listen to what their constituents say, but in truth they don't HAVE to. Most states have no laws that require the electors to vote with the will of the popular vote, but if they are affiliated with the party in question it may be required. I honestly wish that there was no such thing as a party, because I hate seeing people blindly vote for party over policy. As if they don't even realize who the person they are voting for is all about. And Democrats are just as guilty as Republicans in this sense. I went with my girlfriend when she voted. When she came out I asked her how it went and she said "Yeah I voted for Biden" and then I asked her who else she voted for and she merely said "I just voted for all the democrats." She admitted that she had no idea who the other people were she was voting for, she just blindly followed the party she was in. I myself am a registered Democrat, but only because the state I'm in won't let me vote in the primaries unless I'm affiliated with a partly. I consider myself more of an independent because when I vote I don't just vote for party, I learn the facts about the candidates. I ask my parents who have known what its like to have these people in charge longer than I have what their thoughts are. I carefully research who they are and find out if I like their beliefs or not. Believe it or not I, a very liberal member of the LGBTQ+ voted for BOTH parties in the elections. Sure I voted for Biden obviously, but I also voted for one Republican person on my ballet because they are a decent person who gets the job they have done and does it right. I didn't vote for him for party, I voted for him for policy and for decency. And that is what every person who votes NEEDS to do. It's not a should, as a teacher I don't ever use that word because it implies that you don't necessarily have to. But in this case YOU DO. Parties just divide us even farther than we already are. I've always found that if people have the opportunity to choose a side they don't really care about the other side, they only care about themselves and what they want. It incites arguments and fuels the fire for violence. And that is exactly what we witnessed when those people, blinded by their party and fueled by the ramblings of a desperate man, stormed a sacred ground on the 6th of January 2021. Thank you all for coming to my TED Talk.

The last 4 years have been so maddening and unsettling that, at times, it seemed to be torturously scraping the bottom of a pit of vile muck and misery. Where this activity has coated your yellow rubber gloves in black goo, which also splattered your face and gotten in your nose. When you look down into the pail, you see little plastic “Trump” pins glowing a sickly radioactive green, and just then, you notice that the Geiger counter on your belt is going off like you’re at ground zero in Chernobyl and you become aware that your very soul is being corrupted. The ideals and wisdom of our country’s Founding Fathers were trampled, abused, and regularly casually discarded - and often for petty, small, vainglorious reasons. It is an exercise in despair to compare the values and quality of character of our nation’s Founders, to the base, staggeringly selfish, routinely morally bankrupt conduct of Trump. This.....nauseating mess (somehow) culminated in a crescendo with inciting an armed, angry White Supremist mob to storm our nation’s capital, bent on at least traitorous insurrection, if not much, much worse. To add insult to injury, Trump refused to participate in the inauguration, nor any of the other norms of decorum, civility and decency involved in the transfer of power. (Save a misspelled note.) Obviously, the past 4-years have proven, again and again, that Trump is neither civil, nor decent, a “man” of utterly objectionable character. And to this day, the conservative media and many Rep politicians continue to lie, mislead, mischaracterize constantly - and regarding issues of vital national importance. I honestly can’t imagine how one could sleep at night knowing the damage they were doing to our country every passing day by pushing the myriad of lies they continue to spew to anyone who will listen, watch or read..... But there you have it – Trump and his term, in a nutshell. P.s. And to Faux “news” complaints that Biden’s numerous executive orders erasing Trump’s “accomplishments” are not “seeking unity”? What did you expect him to do? - don a white sheet to help you guys feel more comfortable and leave in place Trump’s malevolence? Just....stop.....and slink back under the rocks you all came from and try to at least pretend to feel guilty for the legion of catastrophic harm you, and your wanna-be king wrought – including in excess of 400,000 dead Americans, most of whom never needed to die if Covid had been handled appropriately and not by some sadistic, embarrassing, Forest Gump cannibal clown (Trump) who was determined to wish the pandemic away....... .

It's so frustrating to me that all these analysts keep talking as if fascism is something new when the rest of the world literally warned the USA it was following the same steps as Nazi Germany but because they only receive US media and read whitewashed US history they didn't learn about the basics of Hitler's rise to power which Trump and so many other fascists in history followed. Hitler , like Trump, was presumed to be containable and was constantly underestimated. If the USA listened to arts majors instead of deriding them it'd be super obvious: this is how gaslighting works. This is how a narcissist sees himself. This is how abuse works. This is how cults form. It is SO frustratingly obvious as it has been for 5 years and the US keeps acting like it's something new because they don't read about world history and could have prevented this if they weren't so nationalist and only receiving curated and dubbed and Americanised media all the time. There is a literal playbook, Trump was not simply "incompetent" and if the USA would stop being so arrogant and thinking themselves the best in the world thinking they didn't need to change and actually unaware of how much more progressive other countries are they would actually learn from other countries' mistakes like we've all been appealing to them to do. So many people have no idea how close they came to losing the ability to remove Trump from power entirely. Terrifyingly close.

I have no compassion for the Republican Congressman who died of Covid-19 before taking office. He had tweeted that if some people had to die from the pandemic in order to keep the economy running, it would be worth the sacrifice. I wonder if he still felt that way when his health was declining in the hospital and it finally dawned on him that he was probably going to be one of those sacrificed to the pandemic by the Republican incompetence to face the crisis.

Mitch McConnell is Emperor Palpatine Some of you will die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make! - Lord Trump @Justin Y. Trump is evil. He ignored this virus until he couldn't ignore it...the steps taken have been deliberately slow to contain this virus, as the government has made huge financial gains in allowing particularly older, retired people to die...no more pay outs each month...voting, if still valid in this country...is our only peaceful, legal recourse...voting 3rd party is the ONLY WAY to get real humans in power, rather than dynasty families and career politicians. When we realize the 2 parties we are divided over LOVE the division among us...then and only then may America be great again... @Justin Y. Lack of knowledge of the deep state? I just accused our government of mass murder...I understand deep state...fact that you refuse to listen, only attack, says too much about you...clearly you haven't known hardship. Clearly none of this has impacted you negatively...you are part of the problem, offering zero solutions. @Justin Y. Calling me stupid really helps your case...Trump has very limited brain power, as evidenced by his rambling, generally repetitive, toddler talks...although most of us are sorely undereducated, Trump really amazes me every time i listen to his banter. Trump did not close the borders in time, many flights to the USA brought sick folk here. Action wasn't taken until very late February, and by then 15 confirmed cases were more than enough to basically allow what amounts to airborn, quickly lethal AIDS《why this? (Because this virus mutates too fast to create an effective vaccine, which may never get made), upon the world. This is dangerous because common behaviors of common folk, such as shoulder to shoulder events, shopping and sardine packed working conditions, helped this virus along...even as people died in China daily...America went forward 2 full months wothout any concerns...then...rather than force the hands of state officials, and put the population through a 2 month quarantine, we've been seeing states react, rather than prepare...and all at the natural stages this virus thrives on...complacency among enough of us to allow the spread to continue. You refusing to see this logic isn't a blight on my mental capacity, just proves you are as simple as our Lord Trump...and likely among those very few, who like many elites, don't even understand the plight of the masses, whom I speak for, in this contrived crisis...Trump is calm about the virus because he exists outside the bounds of common folk...Trump and other powerful people would never have to take the risk of infection seriously as they are all well protected by expendable servants or can at the least afford to continue living lavishly and distanced from peons such as myself. 9/11 was an inside job and this proves what I've feared since then...that the government can perform mass murder and the people will always just accept it, hire the next sociopath in line, whichever of the 2 evil divisionary parties they aspire to dwell in... Our educational system is archaic. We could be educating everyone from home...there are no valid excuses for our current broken schooling, and no teachers need lose jobs...as the internet is an amazing communication device... Taxes are broken. Your dollar earned gets hit so many times...and we all just accept that blindly. Medicine is broken. My grandmother died because her selfish daughter needed cable tv more than grandma needed diabetes medicine...and millions suffer from the inability to afford insulin, despite that drug initially starting out as a gift to humanity from a generous genius, privatized by evil and greed, priced beyond reality for most. Our 2 party system is designed to keep us bickering...division keeps us docile enough to accept our own government conspiring to murder us, with our acceptance. 3rd party candidates are generally real humans...that care about other humans, even, gasp, total strangers and foreigners... We are all on the same damn spaceship...Earth. I judge character...not race, not whatever religion folks are born into. I am old...I am tired of seeing disaster after disaster get slow attention from government, as poor people die in thousands due to delayed or nonexistent help. It's about time the many take control, with votes, to dethrone the sociopaths that control us, play games with our very lives... When there are only voluntary homeless, when the janitor is paid living wage, when a high school graduate can earn enough in food service, or retail, to support a modest home and essentials, while creating a nest egg...when veterans are given the same care as Congress, Senate and other positions of highest power, rather than left to suffer and die, when the lowest paying jobs are enough to survive on, then and only then, can America boast of being great... As it stands...I feel most of us are born into lies we have no control over...It's well orchestrated, as my points are made clear in every satirical broadcast about the plight of the expendable masses, world wide... Do I want peace, equity and kumbaya? Yeah...I do...are there sociopaths in power oppressing the common folk...yeah...there are...have good Democrats and Republicans existed? Yes...they get blocked by evil at every turn, often resigning due to unbeatable corruption. Do I pity the very people I label simple? You bet I do...I want this planet to be a better place for most...not some...for all...if ever possible... This covid virus isn't done. It mutates too fast to pin it down with a vaccine...and we haven't seen the end of it because we, as a planet, would have to agree on a few ground rules to consider being a functional society. That's my 2 cents...some of it...take it or leave it. Most of us just exist and watch, lazily, rather than get directly involved in change. @soaringvulture We don't seem to take note...we, the expendable masses, are being told to push through life ignoring this virus...it took ONE infection to start a Planet Wide Pandemic...and because we didn't quarantine from January 1st to February, we get to watch innocent and otherwise lives lost, daily...who are "we", in "we're in it together"? Certainly not the elite...they step on us to avoid harm...I'm furious with humanity as a whole...I'm furious we accept all this death and Trump's toddler talks...like a Ted talk without useful insight... Those of us suffering are many...while the privileged watch the show They created...when...when will the common folk unite against tyranny, through the only peaceful means we have...vote out career politicians and dynasty families in favor of fellow human beings, with consciousness and compassion for the lowest among us. We won't stop the cycle of abuse by trading Democrats and Republicans, two sides of the same evil, corrupt coin. Vote 3rd party...vote for real people, with flaws, that understand what struggle is...that have put time behind any of these so called essential, yet minimum wage jobs... This economy is screwed...always has been. The vast majority of work available is menial labor...food service, retail, janitors, grocers...a great many take their wages in government...which is far too big, complex and unsustainable... Until any job can offer a modest secure household, until the only homeless are those who volunteer to live "free"...until the pill giants are mandated to make life saving medicine reasonably priced...we are a selfish, horrid nation, divided by the very people that oppress us, yet too busy fighting amongst ourselves to take any useful action towards a better tomorrow for the MANY, not the FEW......

I slept like a baby for the first time In four years. And I’m English. We still have to clean up our own aberration.

That’s usually happens when you get lucky after that period of time.

it took a virus, never forget that, if Trump had handled this epidemic even remotely responsibly we'd be seeing four more years of the orange one

Chris what did you mean "the whole wiring of the system is faulty"? That is like throwing a match to the underlying gaslighting that the alt-right has been flaming.

So what is Biden going to do about the homeless issue?, I was homeless under both the Obama and Trump admins and the view was the same...neo-liberal is as neo-liberal does, gentrification flourishes under democratic leaderships, I loved watching him sign those executive orders undoing all of trumps abusive policies, but look at California, fifth largest GDP in the WORLD and that used car salesman of a Governor can't figure something out?...Biden is a tourniquet nothing more, the bleeding will stop but Biden has to do more, look walking around the streets of Boulder, Colorado where I was homeless, if I had a dollar for every pride flag I saw, I wouldn't of been homeless in the first place, but I'm going to guess even gay people like affordable rents $950 for a 1 bdr. studio minimum and 1300 for a 2 bdr. in the less than savory neighborhood and Oh yeah did I mention I'm losing my vision to myopic degeneration?...yeah blind and homeless, there are three moutain ranges that make up the rockies, the first is let's say a very large hill, this is where the hobos have their camps, I've watched homeless people in wheelchairs get pushed as far as they can go and then get carried the rest of the way, yeah disabled homeless people, elderly people with canes and walkers...okay Joe let's talk unity

Oh yeah and he's talked about cutting Social Security and Medicare four times, even bragged about it on the floor of the Senate, offered it up twice as a compromise to Paul Ryan during the government shut down, so cut of my disability as well?, what happened to SS being the third rail of politics?...Chris Coombs and a few other dems have discussed this as well, the DNC is no longer the party of FDR or JFK, but jesus the way people are talking about joe you'd think he was the reincarnation of either of the two aforementioned men...sorry Nina over Corey and AOC over Pelosi, at least their principled lefties...okay I'm done ranting

At an age where, by all rights, one should have nothing more pressing to do than enjoy all of the blessings life rains down, after a lifetime of public service, this near-octogenarian steps into the breech - our nation's more desperate times to do what he can to make things better for all of us and for future generations. Love him or hate him, President Biden earns respect.

Who ever likes Biden. Is corrupt.

So this is what it is like to have competent and proactive leader at the helm... and what it must feel like getting out of a long and toxic abusive relationship. Trump will swallow more than silence when behind bars.
