David Frum: After Trump, How Do We Rebuild? | Morning Joe | MSNBC

    1. The MAGAts have two issues that they continue to use against Biden to attempt to discredit him. One is that is accused of one sexual assault many years ago. Assuming that this is totally true, which is dubious, this is supposed to make us consider him unfit to be president. By contrast, Trump has a history of paying off prostitutes, attending parties where young girls were the entertainment, and brags about “grabbing p******”. Biden wins that one by a landslide.
      The second issue is being senile. This is a closer call. Neither man seems to be at his best ever level, but Biden can usually start a sentence and still seem to remember where he was going with it when he stops talking. Trump has demonstrated quite frequently that he no longer possesses that capability. Biden doesn’t contradict himself within two or three minutes, Trump does this on a regular basis. Biden has his facts straight, and remembers them, though it takes him a bit longer than I would prefer. Trump never knew any relevant facts in the first place, and has no desire to learn the information that would make him an adequate president.
      So, no I’m not a fan of either candidate, but I know which one has screwed the job up in every possible way in the last three years, and I think it’s time to try something different.

      Like you I will take a man who seems a little slow but is loving caring truthful and kind faithful too his wife
      who by the way is also a caring loving wife and in times like these EDUCATED and can help her husband

      Yes i will take them anytime over this temper trowing spiteful childish toddler
      who is also
      a Lying mentally derange demonic heathless SOCIOPATH
      and his third wife who already told us that she don’t care.

      I think VP Biden have so much on his mind and so much too say that he gets tie up in his words, you can actually see the pain on his face as he speaks
      I’m scared for this country we have no over cite we can’t
      continue like this
      also Biden will get good honest people who will tell him the truth and we can see his taxes and bank records
      so although i don’t agree with everything they stand for

      2020 WE NEED TOO RESCUE, REDEEM, RESTORED AND RENEW AMERICA FOR OUR GOD CHILDREN AND MENTAL WELLNESS

      A man who is in honor and lack understanding is like the beast that perish

      Like snow in summer and rain in harvest so honor is not fitting for a FOOL
      Proverbs 26:1
      and this is who we have in office now!!!

      peace

  1. “Nero set his THRONE on fire and made THEM watch.”

    Trump can do MUCH more than set US on fire.

    1. greg j
      There is no such thing as the “deep state socialists.”
      It’s just Fox rhetoric you repeat, because you are too afraid to think for yourself.

    1. @Arthur Schnapka They are copying Trumps strategy – Distract-Deflect, Deny And Direct Blame Elsewhere or Someone else. And if this doesn’t work LIE your face off !!ha Oh I forgot. Don’t ever say your sorry!

    1. Hey buddy! This is the CCP talking and we are saying “we are doing all we can here.” Have some patience!

  2. It really is hysterical!!….President Trump is golfing and tweeting total nonsense, absolute psychotic, narcissistic rants, whilst a 100,000 US citizens are dying from a global pandemic………VP Biden, says one inappropriate statement, apologized and every Republican loses their mind!!! …You couldn’t make it up!!

    1. When you apologize you care, what others think.
      Kim Jong un, would decapitate someone before he apologizes

    2. @Matt C that is the only thing Trump did right and it was still to late! The other mess he didn’t do anything helpful to the states and that is where his obligations are but he loves to take credit for things when he was outbidding the states trying for the same ppe’s and ventilators. Then Kushner saying that all the ventilators were all theirs!!! But could not say what he meant by that statement.

    3. You could, but no one would take it seriously.
      Recall traitor Obama wearing a tan suit.
      Seeing video of Regan in a blue pullover.

    4. It’s a holiday! No day off in 70 days. The problem is what? What will you be doing this Memorial Day?

    1. Oh STFU. You have no idea what you are talking about. You think if you say it enough, it’ll be true. It doesn’t work that way.

  3. Trump should be prosecuted for his crimes and serve the remainder of his life in prison. Not doing so will mean we’ll have another rogue president in our lifetime.

    1. I never liked him before he was even President but I didn’t know he was this evil and such a liar . I’m in shock by his authoritarian tendencies. Who knew a reality TV personality could turn into a dictator?

    2. Around Bush big money like the Kochs started day trading on the voters to maximize their wealth and Trump is the start of a transition of a Russian oligarchy. You get smarter Republicans than Trump pushing the oligarchy it could become a reality, and for those rich day trader, to the detriment of the economy like it has done in Russia. And like hedge fund manager, they don’t care if the company they are buying fails, as long as they get their money now and are better off a year from now.

    3. The day Trump says he’s the emperor is the day one of those generals pulls out their 1911

  4. There have always even since the very beginning of America those who were against the ideas of Democracy. They are now more noticeable because of a leader such as Trump

    1. Those that remind us “it’s a republic” and like minority rule to prevent a “the tyranny of a majority”.

  5. how do you restore democracy when 1/3 of americans have lost their minds and republicans in dc are all criminals?

    1. @greg j eats little, orange balls and finger-bangs Lady Lindsey. Oh my; Lady Lindsey’s got the vapors!

    1. It’s worth fighting for our country’s future, then to let it be trampled into the ground by a vicious spoiled man-child.

  6. tRump destroys everything he touches. He is doing a MAGA-great job driving America right into the ground like all of his failed casinos. Single worst president to ever sit in, and around, the WH. Give him the boot!!

    1. And please don’t be side-tracked by third party candidates, that’s just going to let Trump win again.

  7. I like how people are beginning to act and speak about Trump* in the past tense. Personally I can’t wait for ‘Opening Sealed Indictments Day’.

  8. What happened to the real GOP. I mean I was never a “friend” of theirs in any regard. But there was a moment when things in the was really bad—you able to work somethings out with them. Now they’re a mindless zombie cult. This generation will actually fall on their swords for this Orange Turd–I just find it remarkable how spineless they are (especially that ‘lower than pond scum’ Graham).

    1. They had no spine, trump walked all over them. The few that had one were cursed out of the party with angry, virulent shrieks.

    1. @J Austin – you lost me at STFU. And we aren’t broken, the system is being poorly operated for the profit of the already rich 1%

  9. Why do inspector generals serve at the will of the President. That makes them toothless as Trump has just shown.
    They should be independent.

    1. It was never felt that a president would be so corrupt as to fire them in a corrupt way to support his illegal acts, and stop investigations into his cronies.

    2. Not in this administration – it’s obviously a criminal organization, put in place to protect rich crooks.

    3. He’s supposed to advise congress 30 days before any IG changes and show CAUSE.
      He decrees them by Twitter instead.

    1. How about draining the swamp of BOTH Republicans and Democrats! Both parties are ripping off the country and screwing ordinary Americans!

    1. C H in all fairness, most people in the military aren’t the smartest people in society…. its either the army or a building site….

    2. C H As the military members lose family to COVID 19 that may be changing. Military people love to plan, they must hate this poor pandemic response.

    3. libra8a Trump avoided the military during the Vietnam war. Many men died. Obama did not have to deal with that, the war was over. Donald had a Doctor come up with the bone spur excuse. This never stopped Donald from being very active his whole life.

  10. When a “president” pardon’s himself, he is no long a president, he becomes a dictator…

    1. @Marina Carbajal The law is feeble if there’s nobody willing to enforce it. 3 terms is also counter to the constitution,but if trump swindles another term, he will be granted a 3rd and a fourth. His whole presidency has been a persistent assault on the rule of law and with the great defensemen inthe gop he has scored touchdown after touchdown

    2. Thomas Pynchon: Apologies for any offence, the libbies bit threw me. So to recap, you are saying Trump is deranged and that you are happy to say it because you are, ultimately, normal. Hope we cleared that up 🙂
