As I've said in other threads here, I give credit to those Republicans who voted for Trump in '16, and now after seeing how corrupt and anti-American he is, are distancing themselves from him. Much respect for patriotic Americans who are putting country above the Trump Klan Party and the fool in the white house. :2usflag:

Voting against Trump is the right thing to do.


General Mattis, Trump's Secretary of Defense for two years, says Trump is a threat to the Constitution.

John Bolton, Trump's National Security Advisor for a year, says Trump is incompetent.


What more do you need than that?

Trump has got to go.
 
The most crucial question to ask people who still support Trump is are you mentally intact?
 
Will you give Biden a Democratic House and Senate?

Does no good if we do not attack the root of the problem.

Really, except for his response to the coronavirus, I can only find one thing that makes me oppose him and that is his tax cut.

Can you imagine having Donald in the Presidency without his fiscally irresponsible drunken pole vault, where we end up splits on the bar.

Otherwise what would I care if he likes to represent people who paint over their reality with lies, if he practices the science of the lie more than others? So he is a liar, we shouldn't take anything he says seriously.
 
Not ashamed, but strong enough to walk away from the character in the White House.

 
it all comes down to how many Confederates and White Supremacists (and their supporters and sympathizers) are left who are fake Christians/fake fiscal conservatives/fake Americans.

Ten minute podcast interview for those interested in link.

A former top Department of Homeland Security official who resigned in April says the Trump administration is creating the conditions for domestic extremism to flourish in the United States.

Elizabeth Neumann left her position as assistant secretary of counterterrorism and threat prevention after three years at DHS. In an interview with NPR's Steve Inskeep, she offers a candid assessment of the counterterrorism community's failure to address the threat posed by domestic extremism.

She says the administration is paving the way for even more violence.

The lifelong Republican voted for Trump in 2016, albeit, she says, "very reluctantly." She shared some of the concerns that others in national security had expressed publicly about his fitness for office but decided to join DHS with her nearly 20 years of experience in homeland security issues to help the new administration.

Neumann saw signs of rising domestic extremism soon after she arrived at DHS in February 2017. At the time, she was serving as the deputy chief of staff for Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly.

"We had a spate of vandalism of Jewish cemeteries in a couple of places across the country that made national news, enough for us to go, 'This is interesting. What is this about?' " she says. "And then we started hearing from our law enforcement partners that they were seeing a rise in hate crimes, particularly anti-Semitic hate crimes. And we found that a little puzzling because there wasn't any one group claiming credit for it."
