I can respect those with different views but DT's views are about hate and..well. bullshit. I have no respect for this man who represents our country,
Thanks Bar.......... You know I'm right with you.... One last thought, to be blunt. I have always hated with a passion, every since I was a little, itty, bitty baby....Selfish assholes and bullies. Trump is both, 100 times. It makes it tuff to be friends with Trump supporters. Lucky, I am not friends with many. For those friends who are Trumpers, it's very hard to reconcile, but somehow I do. I chalk it up as they are very confused. God bless, you and the world we live in. May we all survive.
I am gobsmacked by people who think the man who has unleashed a Pandora’s box of hate in our country cares about anything other than lining his own pockets. Look at his recent trip to the Middle East. His white Christian nationalist buddies wear shirts emblazoned with nazi slogans and preach a gospel of intolerance. I agree with you. My disdain for these goons is not about policy differences. They have no moral center.
You forgot that he's surrounded himself with Nazis and Christian Nationalists in the White House, and lulled himself to sleep for years with Mein Kampf at his bedside.
I agree with you 100%. And so, it continues, out in the open, publicly attacking and murdering Jews just because they are Jews. Witness last night's horrifying murder of the young couple in DC (our old stomping grounds). Trump and his backers have emboldened this facist behavior. They are trying to normalize it. We're living in very scary times.
I think you are way out of line. NO PARTY HAS SPREAD MORE HATE, MISINFORMATION AND RACISM THEN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND THEY CONTINUE IN THAT DIRECTION DESPITE GETTING THUMPED IN THE ELECTION. First, they hide the facts about a demented candidate to get him elected, and then they remove said candidate from running despite the American people nominating the candidate because "they" didn't think he could win, and then the Dems behind the scene decided who the candidate was going to be to run against Trump without a primary. And you have Obama shaming black men if they don't vote for Harris. THAT IS THE ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY! That is authoritarianism at it's best. You have never liked Trump, that is certainly your right to have that opinion. Many don't. But you clearly are not watching and listening to what is going on to make such a blanket statement about America returning to white racism. Your comments are insulting to all the folks who voted for him. Get off the racist non-sense that the Dems go to when they have nothing else to offer the American people. Or perhaps you should join Booker for another "sit-in" and guide him in how one is actually done. That was so productive!

Right on Barry. Thanks for posting.

Thanks, Petey. Some I can have conversations with. Others are so down the rabbit hole, and it's not political; it's nationalistic and dangerous.
On Thursday night, the 92 St Y held a discussion entitled “is Trump good for the Jews?”
I couldn’t make the video presentation but I think I know the answer.
The constant expulsion of supporters of Palestinians in the name of anti semitism is just as racist as any other trope.
indeed.
