Enjoy your wisdom. I am 69 and thought I would never see what I am seeing in the USA. Us old guys and gals have to say, "not here, not now."

Thanks for making note of this:

"Trump looks politically weaker right now, but that is not necessarily a permanent condition. With the election still months away, we need to remind ourselves that everyone who cares about the country needs to pay attention and get involved."

We cannot afford to become complacent. Who knows what's going to get thrown our way? 2016 should serve as a very painful reminder.

Trump has always managed to trick a lot of people into believing he is more successful than he is. Now that he has been caught, I’m wondering if at least some folks will realize how wrong they’ve been about him. I have my fingers crossed that enough will have that revelation to his defeat and Biden’s win.

No poll or court judgement or even felony conviction will save us. We all have to do our part to save our democracy. Donate, write letters/postcards, and/or make phone calls to voters if you can. We need all hands on deck this election and no one who cares about freedom can sit this one out. We are all busy and often overwhelmed but if we each do a little something it will add up to something big in November.

I’ll be honest. The thought of Trump getting back in the White House again is terrifying.

"Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.” ~ D. Trump

This is a call to his wackjob supporters to be ultra-violent if he does not win. We know this is what he did prior to, and the day of January 6th.

I can't believe he's allowed to run for office at this point. If he gets into office again, we are all screwed - and even though his supporters don't seem to know it, they are too. I pray often that he will be put in a place where he is unable to run for President at all; whether it's in a jail cell or below the grass, I could care a less. He should not be allowed to run for President, period.

And I won't stop till he's gone. I won't quite till he's lost and I REFUSE to give up hope that he will lose this election big time and that someday he will FINALLY be held accountable for his actions.

Trump is NOT a "billionaire". Trump barely obtained a bond to cover a $91M judgement. Everything he says, is a lie.

In the meantime, he is having to cut back on campaign appearances. Why? Because his fundraising is down, way down.

It seems businesses finally learned, you cannot take Trump at his word. When will MAGA? Perhaps they are starting to see him for what he is, a FRAUD, and NYC Huckster playing them for rubes.

I'm angry at, and perplexed by, people who who consider trump and President Biden in pretty much the same light. I mean, HOW? They don't like the choices. Okay. But they surely cannot fully comprehend what trumplicanism is threatening. Either vote to reelect Joe Biden and count your blessings or be prepared to permanently exist in a totalitarian state. Now how hard is the choice between trump and Biden?

I hate the horse race coverage of this election but it’s nice to see it’s finally neck and neck. Ima go back to ignoring the polls. Vote blue

Lies and delays are the foundation of how trump has operated for decades. But getting caught was never part of the equation. Becoming president was a blessing, and a curse. A blessing because it truly put him on the international stage more so than his television persona. A curse, because now the country, and the world sees what a true conman he is, and is being defended by a cult following, and a political party desperate to keep power.

This will not end well for him, provided that the justice system deals with him correctly, and those of us wise enough to see, will vote in huge, historical numbers in November.

Apparently the “ stable genius” is reaping what he sowed!

Someone posted a wonderful utube in the comments section last week of President Biden working with a boy who stutters. He works with 25 kids who stutter. That utube has stuck with me and made me proud of our President all weekend. There is simply no comparison between these two men and I will continue to do whatever I can to reelect President Biden for another term. Experience, ability, and common decency mean a lot more than money.

No one causes more humiliation to others than Trump. I doubt he ever feels humiliation. He just dishes it out.

I am a very young at heart 77 and raised in a Republican family where I am sure my dead parents/grandparents/aunts and uncles are all turning over in their graves at what has happened to our country since the T man got in to the White House. NOT HERE - NOT NOW - NOT EVER. We cannot let him return to our government except to go to a prison.

Everything about this situation smells. It has become impossible for me to trust or believe in anything MAGA or Trump. The games being played behind the scenes here are dangerous and destructive to all of us.
