By their votes or failure to vote, the American people did this. Those two groups own it. Those who did all we could to avoid that outcome (which does not, it seems, include President Biden or the leadership of the Democratic party) do not. He is not "our" President. He is the leader of a toxic segment of our population unworthy of the sacrifices of those whom Memorial Day honors, my late father, his two brothers, and my father-in-law among them.

Whether we can or will recover from this horrific attack on everything good about this country is uncertain at best, but I think unlikely. The damage is already severe, and some of it will prove irreversible, especially the loss of trust in our nation's word, which can clearly be broken at whim by a fickle electorate and a demagogic narcissist.

If one of us is not free, then none of us is free.

I wonder how many people will be arrested if they actually go to the USA for the Olympics. It’s going to happen, I’ve no doubt. Will any athletes be sent to a prison in a foreign country?

Entering a country run by an insane dictator is the very definition of insane.

The seven symptoms and traits of a psychopath are:

-lack of empathy

-manipulation

-deceit

-big ego

-lack of remorse

-limited emotional response

-recklessness

-impulsivity

Don't let anyone tell you he is a sociopath; someone with an anti-social personality disorder.

Trump is a full-blown psychopath.

He has never received the help he needs, so it seems he really can't help himself.

The Republican Party is really at fault here. They have been promoting racism, religious intolerance, government hatred, Commie baiting, union busting, personal victimization, fear, gun culture and violence against persons "not-like-you", Gays, etc..

Is it any wonder that someone like DT would bubble to the top after the relentless stoking of the fire under their cauldron of Hate Stew?

The GOP realized what they had done during his first term and the GOP Senate, under Mitch McConnell, failed to protect our country from this monster. Now we are all paying the price.

I'm a Navy vet. I did a quick count and since WW2 there have been 14 members of my family serve in the military. My Dad and Uncles with the Navy in the Pacific. My father-in-law was a company commander with the Army 442nd, one of the two Japanese American battalions that fought in Italy. One cousin served in the Navy for 28 years. I lost a cousin and a high school friend in Vietnam.

When I tell you that DT should never a be allowed to open his vile mouth about anything to do with the US Military, it comes from my experience of serving with so many great Americans. Their patriotism shines. DT's is just another shit show and the GOP is guilty of this mess.

His face and even his voice make me sick. His up-coming 250th "Birthday Party" will be an even bigger affront to our active duty folks and of course ALL Vets. The latest numbers I could find showed 65% of active duty folks voted for this fraud! Aren't they listening? He insults them at every turn. I don't get it.... All the best to everyone... GH

We hear you! The upchucking by DJT never stops...and if 65% of active duty US military continue to support the Orange Menace, they're the voters we must fear! Eyes 👀 on our military, and the GOP.

You forgot these. Convicted felon, sexual predator, fraud, habitual liar, self centered, corrupt, no conscience, hypocrite, thief, cold heart, no feelings for others, dung heap, would stab you in the back for his own filthy lucre, and traitor to our nation.

This bottom feeding scum is a pig. Those that voted for him sleep in the same pen. After reading Carol Leoning's book about the Secret Service, he won't last through this next 3 years.
