Many say a woman can’t get elected president, so certainly there’s no hope for a gay man either. Could be. But perhaps the reaction to MAGA and Trump’s devastation will be so intense, voters will seek competence above all else?

Trump “ignores the Constitution and the Rule of Law” because he has 53 GOP enablers in the Senate, 220 more in the House, and 6 on the Supreme Court (plus Dem leaders who think strongly worded “We’re really upset about this” letters are enough)

Now that we have destroyed Venezuela’s infrastructure, its death spiral will only accelerate. Who do you think the people of that nation, and the world, will blame? (Hint: South Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc.)

But hey, 77 million ‘Muricans voted for this, voted for the rejection of science, of children dying, simply because they are a worthwhile sacrifice on the altar of bigotry and victimhood.

Sounds just like a Nazi “Fatherland”/“Aryan Superiority” manifesto (which is, of course, precisely what it is)

All true, but the fear of the madman we freely elected to run this country, and his willingness to use its military and economy for vengeance and profiteering, will prevent every one of those actions.

I am so ashamed to be an American. Quick question, though. If being a murderous, anti-US dictator is justification for kidnapping a foreign leader:
A. Is Putin next?

Nor will it. Ever. He has given them permission to hate. Permission to exalt their victimhood. Permission to excuse the wretched failure of their ignorant existence.
