All other Presidents only had a certain amount of effect upon the outcome of their presidency but not Trump. He does whatever the heck he wants and Repugnicans who have control now down and say “Yes your Highness! whatever you want your Highness .”while licking his boots. So yes Trump is to blame for everything happening in this country. He is in the top position and the buck stops with him!!

A cornerstone of the Trump play book is to deny and hide anything that disagrees with the narrative he's trying to sell. Remember, he openly admitted that he didn't want to do COVID testing because then there would be more cases. "Slow the testing down please." Keep COVID positive passengers on cruise ships so they would not be counted in his numbers. Destroy information-gathering satellites to keep that information hidden. Cut NOAA and NWS so they don't disseminate too much information. It's juvenile and absurd, but it gives him control over what Americans know, like making Sharpie adjustments to everything. It's tyrannical, dangerous and un-American.

Hi David, could you look into this? I read it today when I got my weekly letter from The Brennan Center. THIS has me VERY upset, so if you can find out more, I'd truly appreciate it. Here's a link so you can see. It's VERY disturbing to me and I hope you'll find out more, b/c it's an analysis opinion.

Even if transgender was his issue, that does not mean he is left leaning or progressive. He clearly, at least through childhood was mAGA leaning and he had connections to the groypers and game culture. You can be radicalized by the right to believe that violence is the way to express yourself and still have a single issue that is outside the standard dogma

I was just reading at the Daily Kos and a reader questioned the language used in that text that is shown here. He said, there was something not quite right about the language that was used when he was texting to the room mate. He doesn't think the text really came from the guy who was charged for the shooting. He's thinking it was a cop. He said it was 'cop lingo' and I would have to agree, as I'm a cop's widow, and they do talk that way. The only exception I see is that he may have picked up that language from his father, who is retired LEO. Just wanted to let folks know what I just saw, as things are moving and changing so Fast.
