His very presence there was insulting. The thumbs up photo op at the gravesites was next level deplorable.

Same thing he did after the mass shooting in El Paso when he posed with the orphaned baby... big smile and a thumbs up. I'm not entirely sure he's human.

Oh my god, I remember that now that you said it. It's so easy to forget every awful thing he's done since it's several awful things every single day for years on end. But yes, I clearly remember that now and also remember thinking to myself back when that happened how inappropriate, how insulting, and how inhumane it was that he'd do such a thing. I have to say I stopped being surprised a long, long, long time ago.

There is no bottom where Trump is concerned. He does things that normal people can’t even imagine. His latest just goes to show he has no respect for anyone. Why don’t people see his flaws? How can we awaken the sleepy MAGAs and tell them to not believe in him?

His cult members are beyond redemption and most will go to the Beyond before seeing the folly of their idiocy. Scientific research (something to which none of them give any credence) demonstrates that cult participation alters brain functions in ways that become virtually permanently embedded in their neurons. One of my siblings joined a cult more than 50 years ago and attempted to convert the rest of our family, without success. However, she remains entrenched and now both in our 70s I’ve long ago given up hope. My own experience sadly leads me to believe that the MAGA cult will literally need to die off, one by one.

Certain people, Donny included, can never ever admit they are wrong even when it is glaringly obvious and the facts waved in their face. Lies are part of the propaganda recipe especially when catering to the not so informed.

Unfortunately, I don't think we can. I know I tried with my father. Dad's a veteran, yet he voted for tRump twice and even though he claims he isn't going to vote for him again he's still a diehard Republican.

Sadly, trump is not representing real republicans. His takeover of the party has only encouraged him to do more evil. The GOP should have stopped him many years ago! They have ruined their own image.

Jan, I must disagree. From all I have read, the Republican Party has been moving toward a Donald Trump-like figure for a long time. He checked all the boxes: someone who was able to be manipulated, someone who is well-known, someone not smart enough to object to breaking the law, an utter narcissist, and more. Republicans have stood against the American people for a long time and cemented it with Nixon's "Southern Strategy" which is the nice name for white supremacy/racism. Where was the Party then? Right now, I cannot think of one Republican except may be Adam Kinsinger and maybe Liz Cheyney that I would want as my representative and since they oppose nearly everything I value, not even them although I respect their courage to stand up for a time to the party bosses.

It's OK to be a diehard Republican but the party is not the same party it was. The orange stain has created a cult and someone needs to serve up the koolaid.

He has no right to use our Country and the term Republican. He is a cult leader, no more, no less. He treats our Country and our History just like he does women, with no respect and the use of rape to demoralize and minimalize.

Sherie, you are right about diehard Republicans. They are now saying well, it's just Trump and when we get him out of power the Republican party will somehow go back to some magical time when the party was just great and worthy of support. I don't know when that great time was. Republicans have been fighting anything that could make life better for anyone but rich, white men since the beginning of the 20th century. They jump on any bandwagon that will give them attention and power: HUAC hearings and the McCarthy hearings, doing whatever it takes to get elected (Watergate, lying, disinformation, voter suppression, gerrymandering and so on), union-busting, opposing every social support program, opposing the equal rights of: women, people of color, LGBTQ+ persons, and more. Yet, they want to cling to the old Republican Party. Maybe they want to go back to Lincoln's Republican Party or Theodore Roosevelt's. Considering the laws they want to enforce against women and others from those periods, maybe that is what they mean.

They are just using the Republican label. I won’t gate people just because they call themselves Republican. I don’t agree with their trickle down economics, nor do I agree with their policies that control women. Their politicians lack morals, integrity, and ethics. Still I see a difference between those republicans and MAGAs. The latter have sold their souls.

Vash, unfortunately a bunch of "evangelical" christian leaders have been pumping out the lie that Trump is just a flawed messenger from god. The people who know deep in their hearts that Trump is a goon want so much to believe otherwise so these pseudo-christians have given them an out, that somehow god sent this guy to bring people back to the faith or some other equally ridiculous nonsense. It is going to be hard, if not impossible to ever reach the scared white people who have been carefully trained to follow whatever their leadership in the church tell them. It is terrible, but those people find some kind of comfort in it. It reminds me of the witch trials days when the religious guys, ministers, went along with the ravings of children and people who wanted attention or who wanted to get even with people who they thought were better than they themselves were or whose lands and property they wanted. The ministers should have known better, but chose to get caught up in the insanity instead of stopping it. The current "ministers" who are pouring out the Trump is god's messenger BS love the limelight they have received and so, will continue to groom their congregations to vote for Baby Donnie even though it is against the law for them to do it since they are tax-exempt as long as they are not political/partisan, and they are both.

The worst thing is that they have brought God into it. Whether one is an atheist or belongs to one of the religions, it is shameful to call him a messenger from God. I am not a Christian, and it is hard for me to understand that language. They are abusing their own idea of God.

Expand full comment

Vash, the reality is that those who have tried to make Trump some kind of "messenger from god," know perfectly well he is not. They are using that concept to bamboozle their "congregants" so they can have power over their thinking, warping it into something even those cult members would not recognize if they stopped for a moment to consider what those guys are telling them. It's about power and money, not actual religion and I think it is criminal, but there is freedom of religion and I guess one could call Trump's cult a kind of sick religion.

I'm a Vietnam Veteran who made it home in one piece while others came home in plastic bags or physically damaged. I hate Donald with all my heart. What would he say of the PTSD I suffer from my sorrow over the losses of so many good American people in any of the wars the US has been involved in. He'd really shit if he knew I put my country above my being a gay man.

I want to see that rotten bastard and all who give their favors to him locked up in Solitary Confinement for life for their abject Treason against Democracy here and elsewhere in this world.

Can anyone explain why he is allowed to run for any office where he would be paid by our tax dollars?

I love to brag that I'm the same age as Donald but I still have a brain that works perfectly well. His never has.

Mary, one thing you missed about his appearance at the National Cemetery is that political campainging is against the law there; the guard tried to keep Donald and friends out but they verbally abused him and shoved him aside and went in anyway.

He has to be stopped!

Thank you for your service. It must be even more difficult for you than it is for civilians like me who never made the sacrifices you did. Unfortunately our constitution allows him to run for the highest office because our forefathers never thought that someone like Trump could become president. It scares me that the presidential race is so tight. There is a real danger that he could get elected and do the worst damage. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that people like Trump can exist, but they do. Hitler existed too. We need to learn from history and protect our country and the people in it. It makes me sad that so many people believe his lies and vote for him.

I don’t want to sound pessimistic but it is going to take a lot of effort to keep him away from the WH. He should have been in prison long ago but somehow he always gets away. That scares me.

My mom used to say that “DT was a few sandwiches short of a picric”. She was a lifelong Republican, but always voted for who she thought was most qualified, regardless of party. She saw and smelled his b.s. from a long way off. She was able to vote for President Biden before passing away from COVID a few months later at age 91. She made her own decision, and said Joe Biden was a good man that was supremely qualified. She would be really upset to know that the dumpster as you called him (and he is) was even able to run for office again. She would have been very excited to vote for Kamala Harris.

I didn't know that, LuluBelle - but of course he has the highest unpaid bill here. El Paso is not a rich city - a lot of the population is financially poor, so I'm sure he has less respect for us than for most places. He would never understand how loving and caring most of the people here are, and he would also hate that 80% of our population is of Mexican heritage. Unfortunately I've seen at least 3 people in my area who do vote for him - the guy with the GOD GUNS AND TRUMP flag, a woman on the back side of my block, and someone else whose house I've passed. Most of us are smarter than that, and fortunately we tend to elect good representatives to the House, who serve our city well..

Still on the earthly plane we must do what is right on this planet , which is to keep Trump out of the WH.

Thanks for your reply. A little background on me. I'm a 76 y/o white man. I served from 8 Sep. 67 -1 Apr. 88. I did not serve in Southeast Asia. My first overseas assignment was to Iceland Nov. 69-Nov. 70. My next overseas assignment was to Germany Nov. 81-Nov. 84. After my Air Force career, I worked as an Additions Counselor, an In-Home Family Therapist and finally for the State of Pa. Health & Human Services. In every job I had I saw and heard so many words and deeds that I found repulsive, etc. Like every group or culture Trump appeals to some based on his words and deeds. My long-standing issue is how many whites NEVER honestly explore where or how or why they acquired their values, beliefs, etc. Too many blame all their failures, losses etc. on others. They refuse to accept the consequences or outcomes of their actions. I think this why so many vets like and support Trump. I could go on for hours but, this is a brief response to your question.

Expand full comment

Thank you for sharing your experience and your thoughts on this. I, like millions of others I’m sure, have long wondered about the psychology of the people who support Trump. How can they? Have they no moral fiber or integrity? How are their minds so broken that they cannot see what the rest of us do? And with certain groups of people that sense of bewilderment is exacerbated: veterans, minorities, low income, etc. And over all these years I’ve wondered about this, I’d never had a chance to converse with a veteran about it. I appreciate your perspective, and again, I thank you for your service and for your time having a conversation with me about this. It’s a pleasure.

Thank you for your response. One other comment., there seems to be underlying anger and even outrage many of Trump's supporters have. Why this is so depends on the person but, it seems to be a common trait with them. Eventually they'll have to come to terms with their situation however, for now little will likely change. PEACW!!

Expand full comment

I certainly think a great number of them feel left behind or discarded in some way, be that from the government or perhaps even society itself. And somehow they’ve got it in their heads that A.) Trump cares about them, and B.) that he’s willing and able to right their wrongs, and C.) that being caught up in the MAGA cult gives them a sense of belonging, a sense of community with others who view life through the same lens as them. But I agree with you that underneath it all is this underlying anger issue. I also think, in many cases, that there’s just a good old fashioned lack of intelligence among them. And for the ones who don’t lack intelligence, those lack empathy and integrity which perhaps makes them the most dangerous of the whole bunch.

I'm an Australian, but I'm no stranger to American military heritage.

I've been to Arlington. I've seen those green slopes covered with white tombstones and thought about the immense amount of service and sacrifice held in that site.

I've been to Pearl Harbor. I've stood on the deck of the USS Arizona and wept, seeing the oil still seeping to the surface, thinking of that dreadful day so long ago.

I've been three times to Omaha Beach. The peaceful lawns and trees and memorial of the cemetery on the bluffs above that beach where hell was unleashed. Each grave marker giving the name and details of an American serviceman in that distant land.

As an Australian, I know that we have good reason to thank America for sending their sons and daughters to serve. I know that Americans revere that service and honour those serving.

It is a travesty that this vain man seeks to use that national feeling of pride and respect to further his own selfish desires. He avoided service through a lie, he throws shade on American servicemen, he calls them names and he cannot be bothered to show them honour and dignity if it is raining. Such a person is not worthy of being Commander-in-Chief.

Don Trump is a danger not just to American democracy but to the world's peace, freedom, and progress. I don't see it as a matter of American party politics but of upholding the principles upon which America was founded, testing whether they might long endure, as Lincoln said. For so many other nations, mine included, independence came not with battle but agreement and that was because the Thirteen Colonies led the way.

After the first two times I had Covid, the only thing that tasted good was gummy bears! I'm lucky I didn't end up with Type 2 diabetes.

My first bout - Delta variant - was the worst. I slept for a week, and ate nothing. I only had bottled water. I seriously couldn't get out of bed, except to feed my cat and lurch to the toilet. Never fully recovered. But I'm in my 70's and have been bedridden with spinal arthritis and degenerative disc disease for 10 years, so I never had a chance for complete recovery.

Please take care, Mary! Rest as much as you can, and yes....DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER, juices, and hot teas high in C - like rosehips, or hot lemonade with honey.

The brain fog and fatigue are the worst, and if anyone knows how to beat them I would love to hear from you!
