If the orange moron chimp wasn't the president, there would be no debate over face masks

It is unbelievable that people are divided over basic health precautions because the child in the White House doesn’t want to wear a mask.

Just heard a commentator say that the Republican Party may become a permanent minority party

I heard the same thing after Obama replaced the disastrous Bush regime. Then the people who own the country, those who own the vast majority of the nation’s wealth, bankrolled the Tea Party movement and hate took over for reason and goodwill. Don’t count out the power of money to continue to buy elections.
“The people who own the country are going to run it again”. That is a quote from a conservative panelist on the McNeil Lehrer report right s after Bush was elected in 2000.

Trump inherited his wealth from daddy and a strong economy from Obama

And now that he has made a colossal mess of everything and has put this country on the brink of the greatest civil unrest since Vietnam, what does he have to offer voters other than hate. He keeps saying that he created the greatest economy ever, but again he inherited that from President Obama. The economy has tanked under his mis-administration just like his Taj Mahal casino and other enterprises. His only claim to success is a lousy reality show. He is good at be a clown.

Gift idea for Trump's birthday: a sippy cup with the presidential seal

Also one of those fancy walking canes seen on TV

It's about time that the country is dispelling the nostalgia for the Old South

Growing up in Kentucky I certainly was exposed to the sentiment that the Confederate soldiers were fighting to protect their state’s sovereignty and way of life. There was little or no argument made that the brave men in gray were fighting to preserve slavery. Family lore told me that I had ancestors on both sides of the war, but I am certain there were no slave owners among them. The romantic myth of the “Noble Cause” was strong and enduring.

Many years ago I realized that the stain of slavery had to be recognized if this country was to pursue the lofty goals and principles of our Declaration of Independence. I was at a Honors banquet in college and had the good fortune to be seated next to a distinguished Federal judge. At the time in Lexington there was a,social organization known as the Civil War Roundtable. I asked the judge if he was a member. I will never forget his response. He said that he couldn’t take part in such a club because he considered the Civil War to be a dark period in our history and was not a subject of which we could be proud. He was a wise Southern gentleman and a true American.

Is Trump trying to provoke interracial violence by holding a rally in Tulsa on Juneteenth?

It appears to me that Trump believes racial strife is his best hope of re-election. He is hoping to stir up the white supremacists by igniting a response from African Americans. Shameful on his part and shame on the Republican Party, the party of Lincoln?

The irony: The racist president will be take down by a victim of a racist cop

Every person marching throughout the country should maintain the enthusiasm and GOTV to remove Trump in November. I hope there will be organized marches this fall including a massive demonstration on the Capitol mall

How can 45% of the people approve of this bad joke of A president?

I certainly hope the polls are not accurate.
