    I heard that DJT has thrown his support behind Lee Zeldin, the Republican candidate for Governor of the State of New York. Of course, he has...
    How do you think this plays out among voters? How much does the former president's support sway a voter's decision?
    I am holding my breath and even praying that he gets handed a solid message come November.
    I am hoping for a solid blue wave...
    From what I am reading, the predictions are showing I should take a breath before I pass out.
    Predictions say it will be close, that Democrats are not taking this election seriously, and the Red Voters want revenge - and the price of eggs and gas is more important than all the rest of the issues this country is facing.

    I am passionately angry over this man's continued lies, especially about the fake results of the 2020 election, the J6 attack on the Capital, and all the irons in the fire to bring this man to justice - When will his influence finally end? Will it?

    quote from Heather Cox Richardson's daily
    Letters from an American
    "In an interview this morning with CNN’s Dana Bash, Arizona Republican nominee for governor Kari Lake refused to say that she would accept the results of the upcoming election-- unless she wins. Former president Trump said the same in 2020, and now more than half of the Republican nominees in the midterm elections have refused to say that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election because, they allege, there was voter fraud. This position is an astonishing rejection of the whole premise on which this nation was founded: that voters have the right to choose their leaders."

    Your anger is well placed as he will be the next President. His team is already planning strategy to amend the 22nd Amendment to allow him to serve an unlimited number of terms. FDR is the only President to have served 4 terms, prompting the 22nd Amendment ratified in 1951, I believe. Trump wants to be President for life. His supporters want that as well.

    Well, thankfully he is already an old man, then.

    All of Trump's picks are raving nuts, from Dr Oz to Herschel Walker and more... peas in a pod. Next thing he'll be backing Kanye West in some political race.

    He backed Marjorie Taylor Greene. That ought to be enough to establish his bona fides.

    Every day the Wall Street Journal blasts Donald Trump. This will dry up his large fundraising sources. He will still have followers and influence, but he he has lost a lot of clout.

    Recall, how late mob boss John Gotti was known as the "Teflon Don"?

    Well, with a certain ex-President, the moniker" Teflon Don" is MORE than fitting.

    STILL no justice, regarding the Capitol insurrection and the missing White House documents; it amazes me no end to see how this former "prez" is still walking about as a free man, still full of brag, bluster, and pure unadulterated bull****.

    Frightening, indeed, where we have a man (and I use the term "man" VERY loosely here) who is totally incapable of admitting to doing wrong, saying "I'm sorry", or acknowledging past wrongdoings.

    Last time I checked, only "The Big Man Upstairs" has no reasons to admit wrongdoings......

    And you are leaving out his attempt to convince the Georgia Secretary of State to "find" enough votes to put him on top and the criminal investigation by the NY Attorney General. Surely, one of the potential criminal cases will stick.

    You are correct; I had forgotten about this.

    Talk about "desperation".

    The list of his many, many unscrupulous misdeeds is seemingly endless.

    And, who could possibly forget the ULTIMATE in disrespect, when he, unlike other US presidents through the centuries, did not attend his successor's inauguration.

    Talk about "sour grapes", and showing no respect to American tradition.

    I remember that fateful January 6th, when I first heard of the insurrection on the radio; at first, I could not comprehend what was going on.

    Turning in the television, I was sickened, appalled, and disgusted.

    It was like watching something from overseas; I could not believe what i seeing, taking place in our Nation's capital.

    And, to think, all this time later, he has STILL not taken ANY blame, nor has he chastised those misguided MAGA individuals who committed so much destruction and (deadly) violence.

    The great Abraham Lincoln (among the other now-deceased US Presidents) must have shed many a tear on that ugly day.

    May our country NEVER witness such vileness and wanton hatred again........

    Trump Sat On $94 Million As His Chosen Candidates Lost The Senate For Republicans

    Trump milked his cult for over $94 million this election as his Fascist minions lost the Senate in tight races where that money might have made the difference between winning and losing. Trump ended the midterm elections with $94,075,872 still in his pockets, despite claiming in thousands of fundraising emails and texts that he was working to win back control of the House and Senate for Republicans.
    Meanwhile, despite the betrayal the RNC is still paying all of his legal fees.

    HAHAHAHA! SUCKERS!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
