    I hope this isn't true. Then again, he's already proven what a traitor, and self-serving felon he is over and over again, regardless of who he hurts, who he slanders, who he lies to, who he rips off, or who gets killed as a result.

    I'm pretty sure he would take that as a huge compliment. His felon buddy Roger Stone sure would.

    Discussing democratic values IS an issue worth discussing.

    So a husband makes a joke to his wife that he wants a 3-way. She's offended and confronts him so he says he was just joking and she should relax. I know it's overused but that is literally gaslighting.

    Trump's own words, he'd start his term as a dictator. The Left has never made such a suggestion.

    Trump gaslights us with fear mongering, appropriating, and then normalizing to make us think we are over-reacting to this "ending democracy" talk. In reality, Trump is literally planning to do just that but has numbed us, so we don't take it too seriously ...until it's too late.

    Again, discussing democratic values IS an issue worth discussing.

    Good things happen when government is small. Government can’t solve the problem many people are experiencing because it is the problem.

    His dictator quote has context but I don't blame the left for incorrectly running with it, similar to "both sides" Joe parrotted again last night.

    Corporate CEOs will solve our problems.


    I want a big government for our terminally investing class of humans where that is all they do and a small government for everyone else.

    I want to replace our current expensive law environment system with cheaper community policing.

    Our democracy BARELY survived Trump 1. Now he knows a lot more and is far more prepared to make sure he succeeds. It's like if someone tries to rob you and fails the first time - you let him try again?

    And to say Harris/Walz is more authoritarian than Trump....just ridiculous. I don't believe you actually believe that.

    PBS is not fake news.

    It's a shocking report but we all knew it to be true. Trump did it with the immigration bill, and now this. What's even more sickening is that Netanyahu even listened to the notion. Both of them are criminals.

    Giver over 3/4 of the gov't is associated with the military, you are essentially saying we should cut military spending.

    This has pretty much been case since Obama. McConnell basically said he wanted to block any legislation during his term

    We saw what happened with the bipartisan border agreement

    I too am sick of hearing about the end of our democracy. So let's not elect the guy that is okay with ending it. Electing Harris would help put an end in that.

    I thought the End of Democracy happened when the STATISTS locked down nations with totalitarian mask protocols.

    Few know of this Marxist-Fascist takeover.

    Stop talking nonsense - In 2023, the US military spent approximately $820.3 billion, or roughly 13.3% of the entire federal budget for that fiscal year. In fact since 1980 it's been roughly around this average on a year to year basis
