We are in a difficult position.

I have been wondering, for a very long time, how can any semblance of humanity survive this onslaught?

And continue to add to it with misunderstood political statements connected to the bastardization of those humane principles, like ornaments on a Christmas tree. Shake the tree even a little bit and all the ornaments fall off. Shake it hard - Atlantic hard - and the whole tree comes crashing down on them. They simply cannot have both in existence at the same time, or their very grounding becomes uprooted.

So yeah, they're cowards.

...All the racists and bigots knew they had their guy.

Trump was the reincarnation of 1968 and George Wallace. It was a moment many thought was past. For them, it's Trump today, Trump tomorrow...and Trump forever.

Whether it's true or not, if you're told Trump said that about the troops, and told that Biden said that about the troops, in your head, you can hear Trump saying it, and can't imagine Biden saying it, and that alone should tell you all you need to know about these two candidates.

Deep down, they ALL know it’s true, and they don’t give a shit. As long as Trump signs whatever they give him and nominates their list of judges, they don’t care what he says or does.

Watch them. If he gets beaten this fall they will act like they’ve never heard of him.

So true !!! I've been saying, once he goes down it will be hard to find anyone who will admit they voted for him. Try to find anyone who will admit they ever voted for Nixon. Compared to Trump, Tricky Dick was a gentleman and a scholar, as big a bastard as he was. .

It has long been my belief that when they finally disown Trump, they will try to blame him on liberals by saying things like:

1. He was never REALLY a conservative

2. He was actually a liberal for most of his life.

3. The Democrats were so corrupt, they couldn't find a way to keep him out of office.

4. The Democrats should have impeached him (Oh wait...)

They will never take responsibility for him!

Short-term gain is all they care about. These jerks never look down the road any farther than their next election.

They love our military which is used to protect business interests as much as anything. But they have no respect for those who have actually served.

They agree with him because he said it. That is all.
They love the man like a cult loves its leader. He can do no wrong.
Trump's been telling them to drink the kool-aid forever, and many have and are dead or dying as a result.
