But all you can expect from this "national leader" -- divisiveness. He considers himself "president" of only 30% of the country.

He is actively trying to foment Civil War in these states. He is a clear and present danger, not just because of how is handling the virus, but because of the violence and hatred he is stirring up. He has to go NOW!

Every so often someone posts the names of those jerks (so I know you can find it if you look) and you will be aghast at who they grew up to be. I think one of them was a young man named Brett Kavanaugh.

So far, the people participating in the current actions look like typical Trump cultists: downscale and none-too-bright. Someone is pulling their strings from behind the scenes, and the only "glory" they can expect is from the Rapture.

The word “LIBERATES” is pretty scary. Suggests (??) that Trump beginning (??) to think about civil war as way to protect himself from the criminal charges that might await him if he is booted out of office.

If he weren't president , and failed at everything he's done , His refusal to get more direct money to the people and still refuses to help Americans, but offers help to putin and Kim, while he drives us into a depression. Then he claims he's going big, but it turns out big for the corporations over small business and the American people, and wants to accuse and attack others, lol. He's the one who deserves to be dump , and in Nov. he will be.

The good news is that the crazies are breathing in close proximity. The bad news is that it takes awhile to manifest and, in the meantime, they will breathe on normal people.

Any person who willfully incites or urges another to engage in a riot, and such inciting or urging is a contributing cause of a riot in which there is property damage in excess of fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500) or serious bodily injury, shall be punished as a Class F felon.
