Donald Trump had four years to lead the United States and failed us by his own choosing. Whether it be in foreign policy or domestic policy, he did not protect the nation as commander in chief.

Trump talks a lot but doesn’t say much other than to hurl insults and make false statements.

Quality of life is not a business decision. But rather, it is a humane choice to be empathetic to those who cannot help themselves.

Kamala Harris has that empathy and is returning the United States to an era when we were respected internationally because of how we treat our citizens domestically.

This election is a clear choice between those who have never had it so good and those of us who know we can do better. Kamala Harris will lead us there.

We’ve had an African-American president before and that worked out just fine.

Fellow citizens, exercise your right to vote to preserve your sacred heritage, promote your children’s future and obtain the blessings of liberty we all cherish.

To maintain a sense of decency in the United States rise and vote! Our democracy is at stake.

  Thank you, Joe. A new voice of reason.
  
  Be prepared for the onslaught of MAGAism waiting for you on this site. Nothing makes a dent. Most of us regulars are exhausted from the effort to reason with them. Their tunnel vision will wear down the most hearty among us.
  Good Luck.

  Kathryn,
  
  You’ve raised a strong point. Respectfully to Joe, he hasn’t provided any reasons why he believes Harris would make an effective president or be equipped for the demands of the role. The presidency requires far more than empathy; it demands resilience, decisive leadership, and the ability to navigate complex challenges. While Joe is clearly passionate about his support for Harris, he hasn't explained why he feels she is truly prepared for the job.
  
  I have to consider the past four years and what I see as repeated failures on her part. Why would I want to keep her in office when her track record has been so problematic?

  I’ll add — also much more than just phony joy. I have never seen a candidate as divisive as Harris. You’d think her handlers would recognize what they had to work with a woman who maintained a very low approval rating during her time as VP and earned a reputation for being unlikable. They should have stuck with the Joy Ploy. The screaming divisive rhetoric reveals too much of her true character. It’s clear why many who worked with her disliked her. I have faith in American's innate ability to see what is smack in front of them.

  This Hitler media blitz is so desperate-looking. I mean who buys into such an obvious ploy? The desperation is on full display. The Dems need to do this, they are trying to direct eyes away from Harris's interviews, where she has failed to answer questions or even look halfway intelligent. Her Anderson interview was hard to watch. I don't think we will see her do any more interviews, this one put a big nail in.
  
  What's odd liberals here won't touch on her failed interviews. It's become very overly obvious Harris is unqualified to be president. She is scary to watch live. Did you watch the Anderson Copper interview? If not, you need to.

  I have to ask—what does this have to do with Trump’s track record as president? AB's focus seems to lean heavily toward defending Biden/Harris policies, and the problems they caused.
  
  I also encourage you to seek the full context of any comments Trump has made regarding Hitler. Context matters. It seems unfair to rely on snippets from the media. While many people have come to accept this practice, it’s genuinely concerning because it spreads misinformation.

  Everyone has an opinion...
  
  Thanks for sharing yours.
  
  [EDIT] Darn... wanted to leave it at that... but can't.
  
  Its posts like the one here, that reassure me in my belief that the American people have been indoctrinated with enough misinformation to make a consensus among the majority based on common sense and common knowledge impossible...
  
  To quote myself from another thread:
  
  The sum of the problems we have, is the gross lack of information and misinformation about what is going on in the world.
  
  We have an entire population in America... half of which cannot think beyond "orange man bad" and the more intelligent they are the more they seem to get caught up in the delusion of lies that have been fed them...
  
  If you study Germany in the 1930s, you can see many similar comparisons, the extremely liberal times of sexual openness and LGTBQ acceptance, an explosion of communist and fascist extremist ideology coming to the forefront of politics and social dialogue...
  
  Along with a currency that devalued into nothingness and an array of countries that aligned against it... most of the world is aligning itself in opposition to the US/UK/EU today...
  
  There are conflicts throughout Africa, the Middle East... these are not separate conflicts as much as they are a continuation of a greater struggle... the West and those Nations still under the influence of them... and the growing list of Nations pulling away from that influence...
  
  That is why when the UAE and Saudi Arabia turned from America and joined BRICS... it was huge... it was the earthquake that preceded the tsunami to come.
  
  We have a blithering, blathering, full of nonsense Harris that is going to preside over America during the moment in history the majority of the rest of the world stands up to oppose it...
  
  How do you think that is going to go... with this clown show continuing to be in control? Swapping out Dementia Joe for Crazy Kamala?

  It’s worth considering that Trump’s approach to leadership involved prioritizing policies aimed at putting American interests first, both at home and abroad. For instance, his administration saw a period of economic growth, with record-low unemployment rates and initiatives aimed at bringing jobs back to American soil. When it comes to foreign policy, Trump took a hard stance on issues like immigration and border security, which he argued were crucial to national security. He also brokered the Abraham Accords, an unprecedented peace agreement in the Middle East, reflecting his administration's impact on international diplomacy.
  
  While his communication style is often blunt, his supporters see it as a refreshing break from political speak, as he tends to voice frustrations shared by many Americans who feel neglected by the political establishment. Though it may not always be polished, many argue that his directness made him relatable to a base that felt left behind by previous administrations. His approach to governance, while business-minded, wasn’t void of empathy but rather focused on creating jobs, improving the economy, and lowering taxes to improve the quality of life for Americans in a sustainable way.
  
  Kamala Harris’s leadership has yet to deliver the positive changes or stability many expected. Instead, her administration’s policies have contributed to increased inflation, making groceries and energy bills more expensive for everyday Americans. Crime rates are rising in many cities, with limited action taken to improve public safety. On top of this, the administration’s handling of border security has led to record levels of illegal crossings, putting additional strain on resources in affected communities.
  
  Internationally, the current administration’s poor negotiating skills have failed to prevent or de-escalate major conflicts. The U.S. is now supporting two wars—in Ukraine and in Israel—due to a lack of effective diplomacy and inability to negotiate peace. Many Americans see this election as a chance to shift away from policies that aren’t delivering, toward a leadership focused on real results and stability for the country. Just my view.

Kamala seems to care about the plight of her people: The Blacks. Perhaps she can let Trump win and he could put her in charge of all issues concerning this special group of people who descended from the early slaves in America. She could be put in charge of helping them in regards to providing appropriate educational opportunities and learning environments, reforming their home lives, providing fairness and justice for all matters involving inequities and unequal treatment by society, the police, prosecutors and The System.

They believe in his statements, just as he says them. But then we have this other faction of maga that likes to take his statements and sanitize them. This part of maga often tells us " oh no, he didn't mean it that way, this is what he really thinks or this is what he really meant to say..." The sanewashers. When Trump loses this election, maga is going to enter a state of chaos and these two factions will turn on each other leading to the demise of the movement.

  Good clip. Amazingly, one could even say such a thing against a man who has Jewish grandchildren. And yes been a staunch supporter of Israel. I mean to say such vile things. I find this a step too far.
  
  Trump is a man who genuinely loves and cares deeply about America, placing its well-being above his own interests. It's unfortunate to see a society that could be so misled or one could say troubled as to label a dedicated human being with such extreme and unfounded comparisons.
  
  This kind of mindset should work to remind us of how propaganda and misguided rhetoric can lead people down a path of hate. The Democrats should take care not to push such rhetoric. It's important to stay grounded in truth rather than letting divisive comparisons distract from the real issue.
  
  His DEEDS talk louder than unfounded vile words that spur hate.
  During his presidency, Trump significantly impacted U.S.-Israel relations through several high-profile initiatives. One of the biggest moves was relocating the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
  
  Trump also acknowledged Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights, a strategically important region claimed by Syria, which further strengthened the bond between the U.S. and Israel.
  
  A landmark development under Trump was the 2020 Abraham Accords, which facilitated normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab nations, including the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. These agreements established diplomatic and economic ties between Israel and these countries, signaling a shift in Middle Eastern alliances.
  
  Harris is publicly attacking Trump with intense, unfounded accusations, even calling him a fascist. Such inflammatory language risks stirring up hostility and could potentially incite violence. If any harm were to come to Trump, her role in fueling this divisive rhetoric would be hard to overlook.

  Interesting—let’s take a look at this clip that clearly shows Harris struggling to answer any questions during Anderson’s interview. She looked like a deer in headlights when a woman asked her how she would manage border control. Instead of addressing the question, she started talking about home ownership and sharing the same old stories about her mom. I hope everyone takes a moment to watch this link and approach it with clear eyes and open ears.

  Trump has never promoted the idea of government-supported child care, as he views it as a social program. His focus is on fixing the economy, providing better-paying jobs, and allowing citizens to keep more of their hard-earned money. It’s clear that he believes the government should not be responsible for covering childcare costs, and he has never made promises to address parents' childcare bills. I doubt he ever will.
  
  However, Trump has proposed expanding the Child Tax Credit significantly, with his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, suggesting an increase to $5,000 per child. This proposal is still somewhat vague, as Trump hasn't outlined specific details about how it would be implemented. He has shared he feels possible tariffs could pay for CTC. He has not made this part of his agenda but speaks of it being a possibility.

  I believe it's important to recognize that most individuals interested in politics are already aware of the criticisms the Democrats have against Trump. It seems that they often rely on past issues, perhaps because they struggle to present alternative solutions or positive proposals. After years of hearing the same complaints about Trump, which are frequently repeated, it can come across as desperate for the Democrats to continue this approach. Supporters of Trump are motivated by a variety of reasons, and this kind of rhetoric often feels overplayed and may not resonate with the wider audience.

  John Kelly was the chief of staff. The individual who serves in this position does not direct or command the military. It is a position that is closest to the president though, so I venture to say he knows a lot more than the rest of us. I have no outward evidence of anything in Kelly's life as far as words or action that would make me question his credibility. Now Trump on the other hand is quite a different story.

  He is just one person, entitled to his own thoughts and feelings, as I am to mine. I can’t claim to know him, his mindset, or his character. can you claim to know anything about the man? You seem to assume a lot. You seem to say you are just willing to place a promising opinion regarding this man.
  
  In my opinion, his military background doesn’t say much about him. I can’t track Kelly's life closely, and I won’t elevate him to sainthood based solely on his service. I feel confident in Trump's time in office; he performed well, which is crucial to me when considering leadership. In contrast, Harris has not succeeded in her role—plain and simple. I also am a Republican, I find the Democratic party unacceptable. Can't think of another word to express my feeling

  Ex-Trump aides emerge to back Kelly’s harsh warnings
  
  More than a dozen former Trump administration officials on Friday came out in support of former chief of staff John Kelly, who went on the record this week to say the former president fits the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator and has no concept of the Constitution.
  
  “The revelations General Kelly brought forward are disturbing and shocking. But because we know Trump and have worked for and alongside him, we were sadly not surprised by what General Kelly had to say,” the letter states.
  
  “We applaud General Kelly for highlighting in stark details the danger of a second Trump term. Like General Kelly, we did not take the decision to come forward lightly. We are all lifelong Republicans who served our country. However, there are moments in history where it becomes necessary to put country over party. This is one of those moments” the letter states.“Everyone should heed General Kelly’s warning. We have witnessed, up close and personal, how Donald Trump operates and what he is capable of,” the former officials wrote.
  
  “The American people deserve a leader who won’t threaten to turn armed troops against them, won’t put his quest for power above their needs, and doesn’t idealize the likes of Adolf Hitler,” they continued. “Donald Trump demonstrates every day he is not capable of being commander in chief of this great nation.”

  Donald J. Trump
  
  1. Threatens to turn armed troops against the citizens.
  
  2. Puts his quest for power (?) above the needs of the American people.
  
  3. Idealizes Adolf Hitler.

  It's not Harris's "take" though? She has only referred to the comment made by Trump's former Chief of staff. Trump admires Hitler, he wants generals like Hitler and he thinks that Hitler actually did some good things.
  
  The man is a fascist. He wants to kick people out of the country that he doesn't like, he wants to shut down media that he doesn't like, he is calling the press the enemy of the people.... Let's call a spade a spade already.

  Just so you know this "he's Hitler" and "He's a fascist" stuff isn't moving the needle toward harris.
  
  Most Americans know this is done because the democrats have a lousy candidate. democrats can't talk up anything biden has done to get people interested in voting for harris. They can't make sense of anything harris says about her policies or what she wants to do if elected.
  
  democrats have NOTHING.
  
  That is why we hear this "He's Hitler," "He's a fascist" nonsense.
  
  It has nothing to do with President Donald Trump and everything to do with the massive failings of the democrat party and their candidate for president.

  Might it not be more useful to respond to what was said (Tired of high taxation, open borders, attacks on children, etc.) than just another routine (lying) rant about Trump? I mean, everyone has heard those over and over and over and they still don't contain any real information or truth; what is the purpose of simply repeating the old rants while ignoring what was said?
  
  Are you practicing running for a Democrat office and feel that Harris' consistent name calling while ignoring real concerns is the way to win?

  It’s that "repeat it enough, and people will believe it" approach. However, some just can’t grasp that this only works on certain people. The problem is, those who subscribe to this type of rumination often end up trapped, unable to step off the treadmill.

  You'd have to refer to your leader on that one...
  
  'Donald Trump said Jack Smith should be “thrown out of the country” in a radio interview that aired Thursday evening,"
  
  "Jack Smith should be considered mentally deranged and he should be thrown out of the country,” the former president told “Cats & Cosby” hosts John Catsimatidis and Rita Cosby."
  
  Would you like to interpret his words for the rest of us? Tell us what he really said or meant to say? I think I'll just take him at his word though because he says what he means... That's one of the great things about him, he's very straightforward, doesn't mince words.

"Trump believed Milley should be "tried for treason" for talking to Li "behind the President's back and telling China that he would be giving them notification" of an American attack.

Senate Intelligence Committee ranking member Marco Rubio called on Biden to fire Milley, stating that Milley had undermined "the sitting commander in chief" and "contemplated a treasonous leak of classified information to the Chinese Communist Party in advance of a potential armed conflict with the People's Republic of China."

Many Republicans accused Milley of treason and called for his resignation, firing, or court-martial. Alexander Vindman said that Milley needed to resign if it was true that he broke the chain of command.

Twenty-seven House Republicans, all members of the Freedom Caucus, wrote to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin demanding an Army Regulation investigation into Milley's actions and for Milley's security clearance to be suspended."
