Proof Trump MUST be Removed From 2024 Ballot? - Thom Hartmann

[Rhiannon12866]

Is America’s political climate fertile ground for a fascist to take over in 2024? When Donald Trump fails or falls, are other Republican would-be fascists standing-in-the-wings to take his place? - Aired on 01/03/2024.

1. Very in depth questions for a great debate.

Debate meaning like a back and forth conversation and analysis..not the mud slinging “debate”

[Rhiannon12866]

2. My question is whether there are going to be any debates during the upcoming election season?

We certainly haven't seen any so far - and it doesn't look good for any to be scheduled in the future.

3. As usual, tfg will not adhere to traditional norms..

I actually don’t care if he shows up or not as he’s not qualified to be even on the ballot..if he makes it to the general election. I’m hoping a “health crisis “ happens and he has to bow out.

4. Same here.

I'd actually prefer incarceration, but I'll take any "excuse." I still remember his creepy and unconscionable behavior skulking around behind Hillary Clinton and I don't think I could stand to see that again - let alone worse.

5. I was thinking about that when someone published

that dementia description here about a week ago. One of the symptoms of that particular type of dementia was skulking around like that.

It absolutely was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen and it all unfolded on national tv, right before our very eyes.

In some ways he just looks like a big dummy that doesn't know how to handle himself.

6. It was creepy and outrageous. I've often wondered why the moderators allowed that behavior

9. The moderators

I think were from the right wing.May have been faux. Dunno But I remember something said about that. .

[Rhiannon12866]

7. That behavior creeped me out the most, but you're right, he has no idea how to handle himself in public

I also remember George H.W. Bush's funeral. All of the previous presidents and first ladies were sitting there at the front of the church, talking quietly among themselves. And George W. Bush came over with a smile and greeted them, giving Michelle Obama a cough drop as he does. Then TFG arrived with Melania. The group was friendly to her and she also sat down - but TFG had no idea how to act, he kept just wandering around. The quiet talking stopped then and everyone just sat quietly, he made everyone uncomfortable. I couldn't help wondering if he'd never been in a church before despite the RW "Christians" support of him.

8. There needs to be

Social awareness programming ads and educational programs in the media ,even tailored so kids can understand on our airwaves about narcissism and psychopathy.

And there needs to be mechanisms built to exclude psychopaths and narcissists from political or financial power.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. That would certainly be helpful, but it sounds like they're not even teaching accurate history anymore.

[Deuxcents]

11. Or protocol. We should know our traditions and how to act..even the kids should know

As Panther suggests.

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Of course I agree, and suitable role models would help - like making sure that your kids aren't exposed to Fox "News"

[I_UndergroundPanther]

13. I know.

Makes me just fume.
Time to amputate the gop & right wing off the bird of state before it gets sepsis.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. It would certainly help if TFG was out of the picture, he started the worst of this insanity

And we have to regain the majority in the House, with Republicans in charge all they do is fight among themselves and compete for TFG's approval rather than working for their constituents.
