So Jan 6 was no biggie to you?

No it wasn't, and I was able to view the whole thing. He said go in peace, and no mention that they should go on an attack. Who was killed, a young woman by a policeman, and no need for that kill. No one else died and if you believe there was you are very much mistaken. Can't you see how they are using it, to make sure Trump doesn't run. Like the Russia-gate bullshit. Biden says we almost lost America that day, more bull shit. Four hundred thousand or more Ukrainian dead under Biden's administration and now he's supporting a genocide. What is it, up to 8 million let into America illegally and do you think it's our kindness from a man who has none to give? No for the votes. We can't take care of American's in need, so we let in millions who we will make promises to, but never keep.

Sorry, Fran, but I just couldn't disagree more. Have you read the GOP plans for if he wins? Project 2025?

I agree with you Lisa! I don't understand why some groups of people keep minimizing the significance of Jan 6.

I may not agree with a lot of the over-the-top rhetoric of "revolution, insurrection, overthrow of Government, overthrow of democracy, etc.", but it is and will always be a watershed moment in American history.

I cannot imagine something like this having happened under any other US President. So the obvious question to ask is - what is it about Trump that brought about this event? Was it "the election was stolen" lies con that he used on his supporters? Was it inciteful speech and rhetoric? Was it something about his personality?

I am constantly amazed by how many people continue to be conned by Trump's fake "concern for America", his fake "care about his people", etc.

(Not to mention that he is a textbook case of a fascistic personality)

It would be disastrous for him to win. He's a sociopathic criminal and a traitor who's encouraged the open revival of the racist Confederate mindset. How deeply discouraging that our only other option is a fanatical Zionist for whom the death of 30,000 people imprisoned in a ghetto is of no import.

Completely agree! Hence I would vote for a third candidate in the 2024 election - the only ones worthy of my vote are Cornel West and Jill Stein. Being a realist, I know that neither of them will win (which is the real tragedy for Americans AND the rest of the world).

My husband says that these third party candidates need to win lower races and gather support before jumping into the presidential race. It's just a vanity project for all of them. They have zero chance of winning and a vote for them helps dump.

I feel responsible for making this terrible choice. Both are all in with Israel, the whole Congress owned by AIPAC. The propaganda and censorship Israel and its friends is massive, complex has succeeded for 75 years.

The Republicans have their Project 2025 plans, and everything else they're already doing is a threat to women, non-whites, our planet/environment/habitation for all species, the wealth of the bottom 99 percent, our basic freedoms to say and read what we want, the integrity of voting rights and our elections. Vote Blue No Matter Who is the smarter choice, all awful things considered.

Trump's elected, but his win is due to Russian interference, a lie pushed by the democrats, but no one has been held accountable. The democrats win the house during his presidency so they impeach him. He's running against Biden, and there's talk about Biden's son's laptop that could undermine his chances of winning so some 50 CIA agents sign on to the lie its Russian disinformation, and on and on. Who trusts anything the democrats have to say? Jan 6 comm, was totally unconstitutional, and it's where little miss Cheney got  to stroll her father around, a man who pushed us into a war that killed and displaced millions, on a lie, not to mention Guantanamo and his black sites. During the unconstitutional Jan 6 comm 3 republicans oversee the democrat's charges against Trump, and all hate his guts. You don't like him fine, but what happened during his term in office further undermined the fragile democracy we already have. Think about it, he wanted to get along with Russia, and the dems didn't want to here that, since under Obama we supported the coup in Ukraine whose purpose was to get rid of Putin. Norm Chomsky at the beginning of the Russia/Ukrainian war,  said there was only one statesmen who could stop it, and that was Trump. He's not all good, but he is not all bad, and you can't believe what they say when from the beginning of his presidency they wanted to overturn his win.

I can see your mind is made up and so is mine.
