Trump’s language is both dangerous and criminal. I hope the FBI and DOJ are listening and keeping track of him

Motion seconded - Trump is an existential and clear & present threat to our Democracy and the silence from the Republican Party is deafening

I’ve been giving thune a lot of troll grief lately because he’s trying to shift blame to Dems, but he didn’t vote to remove and he damn well knows he should have at this point.. we got a good dem candidate that I hope beats him (snort, unlikely given his position BUT A GIRL CAN DREAM)

This. All of it. He is a clear and present danger to our democracy, a national security and hell a global security risk too when you think about it. His rhetoric inflames his followers which in turn, oozes out to duly elected officials just doing their due diligence justly. Just disgusting.

"mentally sick"

Everytime he discusses powerful women of color he resorts to questioning their mental capacity. He is predictable and disgusting.

And it’s so annoying at this point

I live in Georgia it’s frightening, as there are plenty of armed nuts in GA. In addition, not far from my home, a supposedly former KKK rep (Chester Doles) is running for office in Lumpkin, GA. Lumpkin, GA is home to the Stewart County Detention Center (holding detained immigrants), and right next to Ft.Benning, where plenty of retired military live. This area is country redneck. There are plenty of people in and around me that believe the election was stolen, including family and friends. It’s taken a toll on me mentally, as I feel alone surrounded by crazy people you can’t reason with. No matter the evidence, these people will not believe the truth. Again, thanks for all you so.

Sending hugs to you. There are some people like that here too in the northeast. I hear you and sympathize with you. I have to believe that there are more of us than them. They unfortunately seem to have a louder voice...

Thank you. It’s tough and why I try to find the smartest, informed people to learn from. When I try to combat misinformation, I need my ducks in a row. Fighting against the mind wash of OAN, Fox is difficult. I have not seen one thing, on local news, regarding Chester Doles running for office. It’s possible I missed it. Atlanta Journal Constitution is how I found he is running for office. Anyhow, we all do what we can to make things better. And, I do believe there are more of us than them.

My dad was military and I spent most of my elementary years in military base schools. I was in the sixth grade when we returned to GA. It was definitely culture shock to see different bathrooms for colored and white. Schools on post were not segregated. This was back in 1966, so I am ancient. My mother was German and married a soldier. My sister recently moved to Brasstown, NC from GA.

I made a mistake. It was late when I posted. Our military schools were desegregated. When I returned to the states, the public schools off post were segregated. When I was in high school, in the 70s, public schools began desegregation.

I cannot believe that he was not immediately arrested for calling the insurrectionists to once again stand for his lies. His vicious, noxious, toxic LIES!!

Please, Jesus, take the wheel

I hope that #TraitorTrump's unhinged remarks mean that he realizes he's running out of road politically & legally & he's panicking. My own belief is that he won't run again because his ego is too fragile to take another loss. I try not to put too much stock in polls, but I was heartened by this one from a few days ago. https://www.newsweek.com/70-percent-adults-dont-want-donald-trump-run-2024-poll-1673588 Nevertheless, I agree with other commenters who've said FBI & DOJ need to keep an eye on him. I predict he's only going to get worse as the civil & criminal investigations continue to move forward. He's already filed a frivolous lawsuit to stop Letisha James's subpoenas to him & his adult children & now he's calling on his supporters for violence if the American Justice System continues to pursue him. On a related note, I think any of the organizers, venues, vendors, etc., who make his little shit shows happen should be held liable for any violence that comes as a result too. He was deplatformed from social media for a reason. Those who make it possible for him to continue to spread his never ending lies & threats at his little pep rallies should be subject to negative civil & criminal consequences if violence ensues. I know that's probably a pipedream, but it shouldn't be.

He never had power in his life. He was a joke amongst his peers. He weaseled his way corruptly into the White House and held real power for the first time in his life. He wants it back and wants more. He will stop at nothing! Our democracy hasn't been the same since he ran for 2016. We have to believe the 1/6 committee, Garland, Atlanta, and NY will get him and his cronies/family. If not, democracy in the United States will be a thing of the past. Our Country has to be better than this. This scares the bejesus out of me.

Thank you, File-y for your work! Even when it scares me.

Trump and Putin. Two peas in a pod; continually pushing to see how much they can get away with. How's the driving been?

Acosta and you are correct. Trump was desperate to stay POTUS so he incited a riot, and now he's desperate again, likely due to mounting legal issues, so he is doing it again. He is a walking, talking danger to our country.

Using the terms “trump” and “stump” in the same headline tho 🤣🥴🍄👹… but seriously whatever legal path there is to smacking him in the head with lady Justice’s metal balance thingy is fine by me. Make it so, number 1 … thanks for the letters and the waves, safe travels!
