Thank you for keeping this in the forefront. We need to keep highlighting his horrible defamation of all women, disabled persons, immigrants, and the poor. The damage that he has done to this nation and its people needs to continue to be publicized in order to try to reverse it. Thank you for doing that.
NO reputable media should EVER give this ego driven, punitive, self serving psychopath a platform. Never. Ever.
They loaded the town hall with MAGA fanatics, and let all lies and rants go unchecked.CNN knew what he was like , knew his behavior, knew his distance for any decency. Yet they gave him his platform and his audience
Well I have to say I just couldn’t read all of it. What I think of Trump can’t be printed. Mostly because there are not enough nasty words that I could use to describe such a person who knows nothing but lies and shooting down those who are telling the truth and who really care about our country and the citizens who live here. Please all of you who believe in truth and honor please vote for the non trumpets
The media literally gives him a pass by not making the most out of his outrageous behavior. It focuses on what will engage the largest audience and the rest be damned! They're doing it with Biden in a different way. They have turned him into a tottering, stumbling octogenarian suffering from progressive dimentia. When does any coverage not begin with how poorly he is viewed by a majority of voters, how low his polling numbers are? And when it comes to Desantis, they ignore all of the policies which define him; his horrendous attitude towards learning about anything which might contain the least grain of truth and controversy, his restrictive abortion policies, and the list grows. People don't think for themselves today. They rely upon sound bites. No, the truth about Trump won't be told, and if he does win the nomination and runs against Biden, with the negative coverage given to Biden, there is a good chance he may win. Trump is a travesty, an evil, self-centered misogynistic sociopath who will destroy anything and anyone in his path to achieving his desired goals. Where would old Diogenes be today in his quest for truth...............................
Thank you very much for writing about this, especially the bit about reporters framing his misogyny in terms of how it will “affect women voters”. Misogyny is no more women’s job to fix than racism is Black & brown people’s job to fix or homophobia LGBTQ+ people’s job to fix. I appreciate the two of you excoriating him and pointing out how women who stand up are treated. You’re on our side and I’m grateful.
Thanks for putting into words Dan and Elliot what I have run out of words to convey any longer. There truly is nothing new one can say about the morality, anger and hatred in this country that allows people to continue to support him. What is even more demoralizing are the women who are in those crowds whooping it up as well for his behavior. Feel as though have been in this world too long to see this happening to a country that I have stood by, loved and defended, the good and bad, and feel lost finally on how to combat this coming terror if republicans take control.
" (o)ne that has received insufficient attention is the venomous misogyny the former president exuded."
There was plenty in editorials, opinions, and the comments section to all of the articles in the Washington Post. Surely other venues covered it too. The man is, in short, a brazen disaster on multiple levels.
It was noted that he claims to be an alpha male (along with a host of other false claims). A man who has to tear down, name-call, and belittle others is no alpha male; an alpha bully maybe, but more likely just a fearful, hateful, nasty piece of work trying to be relevant. It's unfortunate that so may people consider him to be so, especially so many of our nation's legislators. Bring out a big broom in the 2024 election and make inroads to sweep them all away. We, and our country deserve no less.
DJT is the alpha turd atop the reeking mountain of excrement that the republican party has become. Nothing more. One can fully expect people like him to rise to the top of the cesspool.
Let’s see now…. Flagrant misogyny, degrading verbal attacks on ethnic groups with dark(er) skin, unrelenting antisemitism, race baiting rhetoric, a failed government coup that remains a viable threat, inflammatory lies about any party member who disagrees with the pogrom, book banning and book burning, attacks on scientists and educators, mass gun violence against children and families, election denying and failure to transition power peacefully, stealing secret documents for blackmail and profit, and on and on.
How can logic and rational thinking deny the repeating of history here? We are absolutely on the precipice of a societal collapse ala Germany in 1930. No matter how hard we try to believe it can’t happen here in America, all we need do is look around and see that it’s already happening.
It’s heartbreaking and terrifying all at once.
As the precious survivors of WWII will tell you, they didn’t run because it developed slowly and no one really believed they would ever be harmed personally.
And here we are now in America .. clinging to that very belief. It’s time to get smart, friends, and get seriously involved in the solutions instead of waiting for “someone else” to speak up and save us.
Readers of this blog know what he is. All Trump all the time focuses the spotlight on him as the loudest noise around and away from the vast corruption of the Republican party and what needs to be done to elect Democrats.
“Separately, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Tuesday, ‘There was a specific staffer…that [Trump] would request for her to be on constant trips when it wasn’t her turn…he one time had one of my other deputies bring her back so that they could ‘look at her ass’ is what he said to him…I tried everything I could to ensure she was never alone with him.’ “
Ugh. He is such an unbelievable, disgusting pig. It’s hard to fathom that he was president.
Georgia’s AG is a woman. And she is going to destroy him.
How he’s not in jail is a travesty. He’s done more damage to this country than anyone

Wonderfully written; I doubt the subject of the essay is able to read at the level with which it’s written.
Well done, Dan & Elliot!!
Great message. Thanks for sharing it. 🥰❤️🙏

This was in Beschloss’ substack today
