If you are holding out hope that there will be adults in the room to curb Trump’s worst impulses during a potential second term, think again. The fact that none of his cabinet members are returning should raise red flags. Instead, Vance, a loyal MAGA supporter, was selected for his role, indicating that there will be no restraints on Trump’s behavior. With Trump already shuffling sycophants into key positions during his last months in office, the signs point to another term without any checks on his dangerous actions. The return of the entire troubling cast of characters, including Jared, Stone, Bannon, and others, will dominate the news cycle, pushing the nation further into chaos.… Continue reading
Trump is an authoritarian who must not win. Saying that is not inciting violence. Theodore Roosevelt once said, “Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country.” These words hold true today, especially in the context of Donald Trump’s presidency. He has shown time and time again that he prioritizes his own interests over the country’s well-being, displaying traits of authoritarianism that should concern every citizen.
It is not a statement of violence to point out the concerning behaviors and actions of Trump.… Continue reading
I can’t believe we are in a position where the justice system in the United States is failing in such a momentous way. The fact that it has taken over three years to even consider charging Trump for his blatant attempts to interfere with the 2020 election is mind-boggling. The delay, motions to dismiss, and stalling tactics employed by his legal team are making a mockery of the entire judicial process. It seems like the rich and powerful can manipulate the system to avoid facing consequences for their actions, leaving the rest of us feeling helpless and disillusioned.
The legal system should be a pillar of justice, ensuring that all individuals are held accountable for their actions regardless of their status or influence.… Continue reading
Elon Musk donating $45 million monthly to a Trump-supporting PAC is not just a concerning development, it is a disgrace. When I think about the immense impact that kind of money could have if it were put towards positive and meaningful causes, it’s truly disheartening to see it being funneled into a political campaign that may undermine critical environmental regulations and protections. It’s infuriating to see someone who is heralded as a visionary for sustainable energy turn around and support a candidate who is known for denying climate change and rolling back crucial environmental policies.
The idea that Super PACs can operate in such a way, essentially allowing wealthy individuals like Elon Musk to buy influence and sway policy decisions, is deeply troubling.… Continue reading
As someone with a criminal record for a minor offense from two decades ago, it’s mind-boggling to me that a man like Donald Trump, with his lack of coherent policy understanding or basic morality, could be considered a legitimate candidate for the presidency of the United States. Throughout his tenure as President, we have seen numerous reports from former staff members and high-ranking officials who have attested to Trump’s lack of comprehension when it comes to public policy. It’s baffling to me that someone with such a dearth of knowledge on policy issues could be even remotely considered for the highest office in the land.… Continue reading
As the political landscape becomes increasingly volatile, the tactics employed by Trump allies to silence dissent and criticism are nothing short of alarming. The recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump has served as a rallying cry for the GOP elite to emotionally blackmail anyone who dares to speak out against the former president’s authoritarian inclinations and extreme policy agenda. The pressure to keep quiet about Trump’s fascist plans is being pushed onto Democratic politicians, journalists, and anyone else critical of his regime.
The idea that we should remain silent in the face of blatant fascism is not only absurd but dangerous.… Continue reading
I refuse to succumb to defeatism. The recent dismissal of the classified documents case and an attempt on Trump’s life should not deter Democrats from rallying to secure victory in the upcoming election. While various challenges exist, including concerns about Biden’s performance and the state of the party, it is crucial to stay focused on the bigger picture – the future of our democracy.
It is easy to get mired in negativity, but we must remember that there is still time to seize the opportunity to make a difference. The fundamentals of the election are favorable to Democrats, with economic indicators in their favor.… Continue reading
I have to say, the recent events in politics have really made me question the Democratic Party’s approach to handling the current state of affairs in our country. After the events of January 6th, it became clear that our democracy is under threat, and yet, what I see from the Democrats is a constant stream of apologies and attempts to take the high road. But where has that gotten us?
It’s time for the Democrats to stop apologizing and start fighting for our democracy. The rhetoric coming from the other side is filled with hate, violence, and a blatant disregard for the very principles our country was founded on.… Continue reading
Trump’s recent post-shooting rant has once again exposed his true colors and shattered any illusions of a unity pivot that some may have had. From the beginning, it was clear that Trump’s version of unity meant complete submission to his authority. The man who capitalizes words like “Unite” is merely branding himself as a unifying figure while simultaneously dismissing any legal proceedings against him as illegitimate.
The notion of unity under Trump is a farce, as evident in his recent call to end all investigations against him and dismiss any charges as political attacks. This is not a leader striving for unity but a power-hungry individual seeking to escape accountability for his actions.… Continue reading
The GOP’s nomination of coup-attempting, convicted criminal Donald Trump for president is a disgraceful low even for them. This party, which once claimed to stand for law and order, is now fully embracing a man who tried to overturn a democratic election and has a rap sheet to match. It’s clear the GOP has no interest in upholding democratic values or protecting our institutions. Voters must reject this dangerous circus act and stand up for integrity, justice, and the rule of law. The dysfunctional family values party. A sane country would embarrass them on election day. They deserve to lose big for the last four years alone, but they lost their minds as a party decades ago.… Continue reading
