As I sit here reflecting on the news that Donald Trump will be holding an outdoor rally in Las Vegas in scorching heat, my mind is filled with a myriad of thoughts and concerns. The fact that the campaign has made sure to have extra medics and water on hand, but strictly for Trump’s personal use, is both baffling and disheartening. It seems that once again, Trump’s priority lies solely in his own wellbeing, rather than the safety and comfort of the individuals who have come to support him.
The decision to host a rally at noon in the desert during the summer months is mind-boggling to say the least.… Continue reading
As I delve into the troubling news surrounding Donald Trump’s plea for the Supreme Court to intervene in his criminal conviction, I can’t help but be bewildered by the audacity and hypocrisy displayed in his actions. States’ rights have long been championed by Republicans as a cornerstone of our democracy, yet here we have Trump seeking federal intervention in a state court matter. It’s a stark reminder of the blatant double standards and self-serving agendas that seem to govern the actions of some politicians.
The fact that Trump is calling for the Supreme Court to bail him out of a criminal conviction is not only alarming but also showcases his disregard for the rule of law.… Continue reading
What a fool believes: Donald Trump and America’s bogus respect for “faith”: How religious “freedom” has been twisted into an all-out attack on critical thinking and the rule of law.
The manipulation and exploitation of religion in American politics, especially by figures like Phyllis Schlafly and now Donald Trump, is a testimony to the dangerous game being played with the very fabric of our society. Growing up in the church in the 70s, I was shocked to learn how religion was twisted to serve political purposes, alienating millions of Christians and skewing the narrative around issues like abortion and homosexuality. The church, once a diverse voting bloc, has now been appropriated by the GOP to drive their divisive agenda.… Continue reading
Donald Trump’s recent bizarre moments with Dr. Phil and Sean Hannity should raise red flags for all of us. From his constant calls for another January 6th to his threats of revenge and retribution, it is clear that Trump is spiraling out of control. The fact that he is being platformed by these individuals, who are supposed to be knowledgeable and insightful figures, is truly alarming.
When Dr. Phil, a daytime television personality, is trying to reason with Trump about seeking revenge on his detractors, we know that we are in dangerous territory. Trump’s sociopathic tendencies, chronic lying, and narcissism make him unfit for office, yet he is still being given a platform to spread his dangerous rhetoric.… Continue reading
Trump insists his trial was rigged… just like everything else. It’s a mantra we’ve heard time and time again from the former president – a constant refrain that seems to be his go-to excuse whenever things don’t go his way. And let’s be real, things haven’t been going his way for quite some time now. From the 2020 election to the E Jean Carroll trial, Trump has been quick to cry foul and point fingers at anyone and everyone but himself.
The irony of it all is truly astounding. Here we have a man who prides himself on being a self-proclaimed billionaire and former president, yet he can’t seem to take any personal responsibility for his actions.… Continue reading
The news that the NYPD is preparing to revoke Donald Trump’s license to carry a gun after his felony conviction in New York is not only expected but also necessary. Let’s face it, does anyone really believe that Trump has ever actually used a firearm? If you handed him a loaded gun at a firing range, he would probably break every gun safety rule within seconds. His track record with firearms is so unimpressive that even his staunchest supporters, the MAGA crowd, would have a hard time trusting him with a gun.
The fact that Trump even has a custom .45, which he most likely didn’t purchase after being indicted, is concerning enough.… Continue reading
Phil needs to take several seats and stay in his lane. Calling on President Biden to dismiss Trump’s hush money conviction shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the American legal system. Trump was convicted by the state of New York, and only the governor of New York has the power to pardon individuals convicted of state crimes. Dr. Phil’s call for dismissal is not only misguided but also ignores the basic principles of the law.
Trump was given a fair trial, where a jury of his peers unanimously found him guilty. He had the opportunity to plead down early on but chose not to because that would require admitting wrongdoing.… Continue reading
Biden’s strategic move to bait Trump into a debate trap is not only brilliant but also a clear indication of his keen understanding of Trump’s notoriously thin-skinned nature. Trump, a man known for his sensitivity to personal attacks and criticism, is like a balloon waiting to be pricked with insults and jabs. By constantly poking at him with the nickname “Convicted Felon Donald Trump,” Biden is expertly exploiting Trump’s Achilles’ heel, his fragile ego.
It’s evident that Biden is playing several moves ahead of Trump, understanding the power of words and how to manipulate his opponent’s emotions. Trump’s infamous outbursts and inability to handle criticism make him an easy target for someone as politically savvy as Biden.… Continue reading
It is a shocking revelation to hear that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has taken it upon himself to ensure that Donald Trump, a convicted felon, is able to vote in the state of Florida come November. The idea that a person with a criminal record, in this case, Trump, could still exercise their right to vote seems to erode the fundamental principles of justice and accountability. But delving deeper into the legal intricacies, it seems that Florida law states that voting rights are not stripped away if they have not been revoked in the state where the crime was committed.
In this particular scenario, Trump was convicted in New York, a state where felons can vote as long as they are not incarcerated at the time of the election.… Continue reading
Spineless Convicted Felon Trump has once again shown his true colors by admitting why he was too afraid to testify in his hush-money trial. In a meandering and incoherent rant at Trump Tower, Trump claimed that he wanted to testify but was afraid he would be found guilty of more crimes. This admission speaks volumes about his character and his inability to defend himself without incriminating himself further. It’s a clear sign of his guilt and his fear of facing the consequences of his actions.
What’s truly baffling is the fact that some people still support him despite his blatant cowardice and criminal behavior.… Continue reading
