Why Trump continues to say "witch hunt", regarding the perceived deliberate hunt of his criminal acts? It should be called "pig hunt".

Trump and his followers are a malignant tumor that is quickly metastacizing.

Hey. I was just wondering.... where is "the bonus show"? Where are the 2 million subscribers? This is surreal. Like, did I get off the train at the wrong stop? Dan Rather is here, Steve Schmidt - this isn't what I was expecting.... anybody?

There are scholars arguing that the 14th amendment does not apply due to the realization it was written because of the treason needing to be addressed after the Civil War. They reason that invalidates this amendment believing it was focused only on these times.

Interesting

By similar reasoning, how about invalidating the 2nd amendment? It is even older and was needed when the militia was very important to the survival of this country. (Think Paul Revere!) The 1770's had NO massive assault weapons nor even quick loading guns. We have no militia gathering when called from their homes to fight. Therefore, by reason of its age and current irrelevance, it should be removed or invalidated!

(Constitution should not be manipulated for the benefit of one unscrupulous person!)

I became a member so I could make comments, but I don't know if they are read or if I'm making them in the right place.

How does Trump become addicted to telling lies? As he himself tells us it is easy: just keep repeating them. Easy and simple!

Simple but dangerous. Addiction to telling lies is a crime against humanity when freely entered into. Ordinarily even liars have at least a residual respect for the truth. They don't lie when there is no need to. They know lying is wrong. But Trump's addiction to telling lies is intentional; he sees nothing wrong in telling lies. Now all MAGA have become addicts like Trump. They are all doing whatever they can to destroy the respect for truth. Humanity cannot survive without the distinction between truth and falsity. It cannot survive without respect for the former and distaste for the latter. Indeed, language would not have come into existence without this distinction and this respect. Why is it that babies can learn their mother tongue? Nobody lies to babies.

Third world countries are celebrating. They are not longer at the bottom....Now there is a new category: fourth world. USA is no. 1 in this category, which includes countries that allow people guilty of sedition, etc. to be candidates to be President! The Constitution makes it clear that this is not allowed. Yet, legal "illegal schemes" are contemplated to allow this. Of course just planning to get around the Constitution should be considered a crime.....

David, I think Fani Willis is a brilliant, organized, and very dedicated excellent prosecutor. I hate that the Republicans in Georgia have passed a law to allow them to remove elected officials, and that they are not even being discreet about targeting Fani Willis. The law goes into affect October 1. It requires a committee and then a panel of three and they have told the Democrats there cannot be any Democrats on this panel. If they were able to immorally to remove her to try to get a prosecutor who might just drop the charges—maybe against the whole bunch— it would be a tragedy for this nation, a dangerous tragedy. Finally, a couple of commentators have actually addressed this issue, but not enough. I found out Aug 14 when Rachel Maddiow casually mentioned this to Hillary Clinton.

I admire fani Willis. I even sent her a ‘fan letter” and a copy of the short pol “how to deal with toxic people.” I thought she might enjoy bits and pieces of it since it describes trump so well.

We need your voice on this!!! Vanity fair had an article that made it appear this law could not be enacted until spring, bit it has been moved up. It has. Even challenged, but I am still somewhat trrrified. If the trial is moved to late October. The republicans might push to have the committee make rec comedations to the 3 person panel and be successful in this horrific scheme,

I think they got the idea when dessntis decided he could remove 2 elected officials from office. What a coincidence— both were black.

Just got out of the eye Drs office with dilated eyes and can hardly see the letters so please forgive any mistakes. I would like this to be perfect . But it is more important that you see it!.

I believe YOUR voice can make a difference !
