Anyone who E-V-E-R voted for Donald Trump for president did so in the full knowledge of the kind of person that he is.
They voted for him in full knowledge of his incompetence, his malice, his vindictiveness, and bragged about being a serial sexual predator.
That is ALL I need to know about them.
By 2012, we knew about creep behaviour at underage beauty pageants., numerous lawsuits for fraud, money laundering, housing discrimination, and the birther BS.
By 1989, we knew he supported the death penalty for 5 teenagers - and when they were exonerated in 2002 he continued to say they're guilty.
I disliked Trump and thought he belonged in a cell far BEFORE he convinced tens of millions of 🇺🇸 citizens to turn against the country they grew up in and turn traitor to service aristocrats.
The things we knew about DJT in *2012* are enough to mean that he should never have been president, period.

Personally, that's the effect I DESPERATELY TRY to create in my writing. I feel like it's just GOOD WRITING, if the author is able to give you no choice but to identify with a protagonist.
At least until they start blowing up with employees who are willing to drive them and workers refuse to drive the rolling, ugly death trap.
Absolutely.
It looks very nice and I am happy for you.

At least by pedophiles, rapists, and traitors, like you, Laura.
“Involuntary category” here defined as “anything you didn't get a say in before, at, or after birth, that you can't change.”
Also faith beliefs — because while continuing to be Christian, Islamic, or Jewish, IS fundamentally a CHOICE, it's one you deserve to have the freedom to make — unthreatened.
I feel like that would require a law in the military that just makes it the duty of every soldier to shoot their commanding officer if their commanding officer gives them an illegal order, and shoot any politician that SUGGESTS in ANY CONTEXT denying rights to an involuntary category* of people.
My opinion is simply different. I respect the opinions of others, their validity and their right to have such views.
I'm not MAGA — I *can* live and let live, and coexist with someone who doesn't share 100% of my views and I won't call someone a terrorist traitor if they don't like spicy pizza.
I am, however, disappointed by the failure to bring Trump to justice. If that offends you ... well, you have my most sincere condolences. Consider this a difference of opinion we have.
I don't abandon people because of differences of opinion — you're entitled to your opinion. Your opinion is valid.
Regardless of political affiliation, regardless of whether or not they had 'announced a candidacy to seek reelection.'
Justice delayed, is justice denied. Justice never PURSUED, is the mistake of Biden. He did a lot of things I did not love.
That is okay. I'm not mad at him for those things.
He was not elected so we could repeat the mistakes made after the Civil War, and after Nixon. We elected him to give justice for the crimes, for the ATROCITIES, of 2016-2020.
He did not deliver. That IS on him. He could have directed DOJ to investigate all individuals who were fully complicit.
Yet she is the legitimate president who won the election. To say otherwise is to further Elon Musk's invalidation of over ten million voters whom he illegally purged from registration.
All the same. Biden was POTUS. It WAS up to him, it WAS in a very literal sense WHAT WE ELECTED HIM TO DO, there.
I'm also confident he would admit, firsthand, himself, that he made some mistakes. We must be willing to admit the same.
You cannot blame “the voters,” writ large. More than half of us voted for Kamala Harris. Her support of Netanyahu, and Israel under his tyranny, troubles me on a massive level.
I don't regard him as a bad president, but even decent, fair, or good presidents, make mistakes, and we must be willing to acknowledge that fact, to assess those mistakes openly.
Do not defend him. Good men do not need to be defended.
I do believe Biden is, generally, a pretty good human being.
Some of you may not like that I have this opinion. That is your right. Your opinion may different. That is also valid.
This, however, is my opinion:
Biden *did* fail —
not catastrophically.
not unforgivably
not alone —
but he did fail in some context.
His presidency was imperfect in a lot of ways.
However. Biden was POTUS. He could have ordered DOJ to abolish the policy of not investigating, and prosecuting, any individual in the White House or vying for an elected office.
He could have ensured that Trump faced FEDERAL charges, FEDERAL prosecution. Instead, he made the Lincoln mistake.
Do I think it is 100% Biden's fault we're here now?
No. As much as I wish that were true, it just is not.
Do I think it is 0% Biden's fault that we're here now?
That is, also, an emphatic no. Sorry if you dislike it.
Now I will grant grace. Tens of millions of people voted for Trump. That's true.
I am going to say that I have an unpopular opinion about the Biden administration.
The voters did do their job. Elon Musk interfered in the 2024 election to remove 10M+ voters who voted for Kamala Harris.
She would have won by a landslide if not for the interference. The fault is more nuanced.
@democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social Let me be clear.
I am a disabled LGBTQ+ autist. You physically can't go so far to the left you lose my vote. You can, however, go too far RIGHT.
You want civic engagement, meet your voters where we are. Quit being Republicans Lite. Don't move on.
6a. These standards should include, but not be limited to, federal candidates being adjudicated pedophiles/rapists.
These standards should include, but not be limited to, an individual being beholden to the funds of a foreign nation.
7. Define lying to 🇺🇸 citizens as perjury for elected officials.
5. NIC must be allowed to impeach any individual in both FEDERAL and STATE Government, cleansing the system.
6. Constitutional Amendments are needed to ensure that removal from office is automatic under certain specified circumstances - with nonnegotiable eligibility standards established.
3. NIC requires independent defence attorneys, security, and prosecutors, separate from the federal government.
4. Justices must be elected independently to serve a 4Y term. Inherent rules to prevent political party dominance.
(read: maximum number of members of a political party = under half.)
2. National Impeachment Court (NIC) needs to be a thing. Panel of 17 nonpartisan justices, authorisation to launch a probe into officials suspected of professional misconduct.
Authority to activate the 14th Amendment also necessary.
25A & Congressional Impeachment is just meaningless ink.
