How long do we have to wait? I'm 76. I want to see him kicked out of the country before I die, preferably asap

Expand full comment

I do not think he will be kicked out of the country, but he might end up in prison. Most probably would be in home arrest, because of his political past. I would not be surprised if they take most of his property, even though most of his properties are run down enough to have them torn down. His towers could be used for other things.

One of the most insidious things of this era Catherine, specifically Trump, is the extent to which the overton window has shifted. What was once considered totally offensive/outside the bounds of acceptable, is now just their way of doing business, & considered quaint to his followers. He's a certifiable degenerate & has infected them with his disease.

Thank you. Sometimes it’s nice to know that I am not the only one to see this issue. Sometimes, like right now (Saturday morning at 7:14am)on NBC News, the reporters don’t even notice that they are asking insightful, meaningful questions of Kamala and questions of no impact to Trump. Why? Because they are intimidated and know he will only give them offensive/unacceptable nonsense for answers?

Speaking of Boy Scouts of America, I still cringe to think TCF was allowed to speak at the July 2017 BSA Jamboree in Virginia.

Give him an audience, any audience, and the same narcissism is displayed. He taps into the most compelling human weakness: Rolling onto our backs and exposing our vulnerabilities to an alpha male barking his lungs out at us. The more vulnerable, like young people, the more comfortable he is in his superiority and power. Any reasonable judge would put a restraining order on him to keep him miles away from anyone under the age of 32.

Daniel - great point. What makes this political war so personal for me is that our political opponents (most of my family included BTW) think so little of us and our views - to the point of visceral hatred - that they will continue to throw their support behind such an obviously vile excuse for a human being, quite literally an American fascist, rather than let a progressive government continue until the next election. That is un-American, and is a personal slap in the face of anyone with progressive views. Were the Republican candidate a person with some modicum of honor and compassion, and largely truthful, then it ceases to be personal. Now it is just a good honest difference of opinion. Big diff to me. I guess though that such persons who are Republican are few and far between.

The woman wouldn’t file a police complaint due to Trump supporters harassment. She was scared of that and I don’t blame her.

Now with RFKjr using Kennedy‘s last name is as well known, and if people don’t read that his family denounce him they’ll think Kennedy is behind him that worries me.

Also, Federal Gov should charge all that were in that picture as the know full well no pictures to be taken their and campaign should know the laws if not what a sad campaign (they still owe millions of dollars to airports across the United States that Trump campaign refuses to pay that’s a hell of note.

I sick of him getting away with his blatant laws. He is CITZEN not above the law. Are police, Gov and Feds afraid of him? If so to many are working for his cause not America Laws. When does it end. I am worried about the attacks in Texas on Latino’s communities & LULAC as 1mil were deleted from voter rolls!

Ken Paxton sent out 9 men to harass 87y women keep her out side in her nightgown while’s searched everything took her phone, computers all Dr appt were on her phone. That’s just one. I truly believe Republicans in that state have won by large numbers for a reason. Corruption. To attack Latino is because 39% voters in Texas are Latinos and 1mil are unregistered this woman was the one who sent people out to get people registered to vote. All because Harris is running. I hope Texas will see what these evil White old men are doing in Capital and their house. They just as soon as cheat because most Texas work and pay no attention to elections. Will see. Ken Paxton is A corrupt as they get. He should’ve stood trial but went to the right Judge in Texas. Same thing in Georgia.

If I could afford it I would go many state to help get people to reg to vote. Tell them what DJT HAS done to people throughout this Country to cheat.

I get so mad I vent in typing. This last weekend TRUMP Supports drove threw our little Town yelling at other that were for Freedom they were so ashamed they covered their own face with their hands. I thought that was funny. 3 TRUCKS ONLY and one point there were abt 30 so that a good thing.

Thank you! This movement should have been addressed quickly and certainly, but (I believe) the horrors of the pandemic were too great to ignore. The DOJ, led by Merrick Garland (who I personally really like) is too timid and self-reflective to be effective against an enemy of this magnitude. So many of us saw this coming years ago! And too many people said we were crazy, reaching, clinging to conspiracy theories... but here we are.

That DT is still in the public eye, able to run for office yet again, and is not locked away for the rest of eternity, is a travesty, for sure.

I have been to Arlington Cemetery many times, unfortunately, and it is easy for me to understand how mourners can get confused about how this is not just any other cemetery. In other cemeteries, seeing friends and family that you rarely see can make you think of getting pictures and acting like this burial ritual is more like a reunion. But you are not in just any other cemetery at Arlington and the US Army is hosting your presence there for just one thing: To honor the dead.

So breaking out in a reunion and taking pictures where you could dishonor the graves and memories of the brave veterans is just not tolerated.

Trump and his entourage not knowing this let alone respecting it is completely consistent with his views of our military and our veterans.

Of course, this person, being an emotionally disturbed and unstable person, chooses to do the opposite of human decency, and flaunt rule breaking to taunt and create chai’s and division.

I don't believe the cemetery employee has to "press charges." She was acting as an agent of the federal government so the federal government is the plaintiff, not her as an individual. The Department of Justice needs to make a stand here and stop letting this thuggery go unchecked. It emboldens them. For the sake of upholding federal law, Donald Trump and his campaign members who showed up without permission, just assuming they could do whatever they want wherever they want, should be treated like the bullies and thugs they are.

They have not released her name. It is to protect her. If they pressed charges she will become a witness and subject to threats by Donald.

It us sad that laws can’t be enforced anymore because of DT.

You make an important point. She shouldn’t HAVE to press charges.

Agree the DOJ HAS to investigate lay charges federally; the employee is a witness only in that case not the person laying the charges and her identity can be hidden by the court so his Magat Morons can t go after her! She shouldn’t HAVE to expose herself to their vileness any further; who can blame her for not wanting to be their punching bag!

Good point. Considering she was scared of backlash from Trump crazy fans.

Agreed. It’s not up to an alleged, albeit believable, victim to decide whether or how an assailant is prosecuted. It’s solely up to a prosecuting authority to decide whether or how to bring charges. But, it must be noted that a waiver of prosecution asserted by a victim may potentially impair the credibility of the victim.

Still, she isn't pressing charges, and the Army isn't either. It's being dismissed, according to the cemetery staff.

That is an institutional failure and it needs to be pursued by whoever is in charge of en forcing Federal laws! Not the employee ; the institution has to be forced to enforce the law. Wouldn’t that be FBI to investigate and DOJ to lay charges based on the incident report other witnesses MPs who were called etc ??

“I made the difficult decision to retire because a campaign of bullying, intimidation and retaliation by President Trump and his allies forever limited the progression of my military career.”

—-Alexander Vindman

These are the tactics used by the mafia and totalitarian governments to keep their citizens repressed. This is all part of the fascist playbook. Let’s be wiser and brave together. Thank you Mary for sharing this critical update. Hope that woman is safe and protected for the time being.

Alexander Vindman is in a tight race in Virginia's 7th district...he could use some donations to his campaign...I just contributed....I can't think of a better way to give the finger to Trump than to elect this guy after all Trump put him through.

Actually, I was mistaken... it is Alexander's brother, Eugene who is running for Congress. Polls show that he has a 1 point lead over his Republican competitor which to me is a tight race. I extrapolated that more contributions might help his campaign.

I started a recurring donation to his campaign six months ago because he's my hero, and I don't even live in his state.

I have often thought he acts like a mafia don!!!!! And I understand over the years there have been dealing with them.

Expand full comment

Of course he does he was tutored in mafia ways by his lawyer, Roy Cohn who was an actual experienced lawyer for the mafia dons for years. The pun, is apt but unintentional. Sleazy when not illegal, skirting the law, was many of the “dark” tricks + tactics useful a shady employee like Roy was to Trump.

by a Despicable lowlife !

I agree Both brother are good decent men and one did the right thing when he came to whistleblowing on Trump. But of course Trump retaliation went to both Eugene & Alexander Vindman They both lost they Military jobs as Trumps vindictive way. Now one is running for senator in Virginia

BREAKING: The U.S. Army has officially released a statement condemning Donald Trump’s politicization of a memorial service for fallen soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. Donald Trump is the least patriotic candidate to ever run for public office

Expand full comment

To me, though, it's meaningless. Unless the two Trump campaign staffers (we know exactly who they are) and DonOld are charged for breaking the law, every Republican running for re-election, and other MAGAmericans will do exactly what these traitors did. Full stop.

Why, why, is he and these 2 "staffers aka goons" not being held accountable?!

That's it? A statement condemning...? This Veteran has a statement for him: Fuck you! What a rotten bastard you are. I wish there was a way to undo the Brainwashing you've cast upon those supporters who, just the other day, you referred to as basement dwellers.

Traitor head oligarch & no class peddler

I would hope the Entity of the National Park Service or whoever is responsible for Arlington (the Army?) would file charges against not only the campaign but the individual dipshits who harassed and shoved the employee, much in the same vein as they have brought charges against the two assholes in Utah who destroyed thousand-year old rock formations.

This desecration of civility and respect has to stop.
