I agree this is a huge problem, but unfortunately it didn't start with Trump. Breitbart, Rush, and white supremists have been working to weaken the Democratic aspect of our country prior to his election. They've fed their supporters fear of the other for $$$. Steve Bannon wants nothing less than the destruction of America by exploiting the racism that used to be hidden. (Stated plainly in the Cambridge Analytica book). Somehow we need to bring people together and sadly perhaps slow changes down so we can take the scared white people with us. I'm not looking forward to being a racial minority in this country, but I know its coming and as a pro people person, not pro race person its on me to get comfortable with a future that visually looks different than my past. The pro white people and the pro black people sadly are fixated on race, so it will be hard to get them to pivot to a pro good people outlook. But we need to try and maybe we need new media to pop up to counteract RW media and put out a pro all good people message. A question I have had for years... Why does Bannon and people like him want to destroy America? The ones who we say this about have excellent lives due to the current system in the country. If they want to close down the US and replace it with a system that works even better for them, what do they think the new country looks like that will be even better for them? My personal and very cynical theory is they don’t want to change it at all. The GOP used to be the middle and upper class party. However, with the growing wealth gap there are fewer and fewer really wealthy people who benefit from the GOP tax policies. So the GOP took up the anti abortion banner to lure in the evangelicals. Younger voters are less likely to be evangelicals, however, so enter the chaos president. Now the browns are the enemy, and all the whites should be afraid of them - hordes coming over the border to rape your daughters, and now hordes running amok in the cities. The only thing that will keep the country from tearing apart is a GOP person who will fend off the browns. Meanwhile the GOP can continue to change the tax policy and pass new regulations to benefit the 1percent and their businesses. Make the middle and lower classes hate and fear each other and keep things in constant chaos while the wealthy keep siphoning the money. In this next election, see how well Trump does in all the wealthy enclaves of the country. They love him.

Trump says he wants drug tests before debates with Biden When pressed for any evidence to support his claim that Biden had taken a drug to improve his debate performance, Trump said he had none and that his theory was based purely on his own observations.
"All I can tell you is that I'm pretty good at this stuff," he said. "I look. I watched him in the debates with all of the different people. He was close to incompetent, if not incompetent. And against Bernie he was normal." I want a President who doesn't suggest ... I don't know? ... total bullshit.

Thought: Did President Trump suggest drug testing of Biden because of people claiming that Trump Jr. was high on coke Monday night?

If there is a drug that can make us more competent, shouldn't we all take it?

Its Trump shit. I just checked my memory via Google, he did similar with Hillary in 2016. I don't think he means to, but IMO he's telegraphing he will be using during the debates. In 2016 I gave him the benefit of the doubt because of his advertised dislike of alcohol ... that one debate though ... mmmmhmm Trump on drugs was really the best explanation there was. Now that someone posted Tweets and an article on that talent handler very familiar with Ivanka and Trump, things make way more sense. Trump sucks at debates, there is no way he would even watch a bunch of them let alone make a good qualified assessment of anyone's performance. So he's pointing over there hoping you won't notice sleepy Donald Trump juices up to appear to have energy. Low energy Trump is the guy who needed the golf cart several time early in his Presidency because he wasn't fit and energetic enough to walk with the other world leaders. I wonder if Trump even noticed that drugs did not make Don Jr. look competent. Heck it didn't work for him either for that one debate in 2016.

The Simpsons ride in Universal Florida has certain smells the waft our onto the riders. Like baby powder for Maggie. I hope this portrait does the same - it should reek of freedom burning, hookers and golf course grass clippings.

I doubt much else matters to them as they are insulated from the vagaries of current American existence.

Trump was projecting again yesterday, saying that Kamala Harris is not competent for the job. Mirror Mirror.

He wouldn't. Even prior to the election he actively admitted he really only wanted to do the public fun things as President.

I wish he had stepped down. He's made almost everything into a fake coup against him. Even masks.

Yes but did you hear who he did think was right for the job of president? www.businessinsider.com/trump-ivanka-more-fit-first-female-president-than-kamala-harris-2020-8Please explain how a rich girl who dabbled in modeling and used daddy's money to start a clothing line (made by chinese people) is qualified to be president when a former DA then Senator is not.' Insisting daddy takes you to work so you can get your photo made with a bunch heads of state does not magically make you qualified.

Portland, Oregon Mayor Ted Wheeler is right - blames President Donald Trump for the hatred and violence across our nation: “Do you seriously wonder, Mr. President, why this is the first time in decades that America has seen this level of violence?” Wheeler said. “It’s you who have created the hate and the division. It’s you who have not found a way to say the names of Black people people killed by police officers even as people in law enforcement have, and it's you who claimed that white supremacists are good people” Complete article here: Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler blames President Trump for downtown violence

Well, he has to throw something out there to distract people from The Who Covid thing that refuses to go away. By the way, the people the Kenosha police arrested for violence over the weekend were overwhelmingly not from Kenosha. If I was the mayor I’d fence off the city from all non residents including the president and allow peaceful protests only.

I wish I had a president who didn’t claim paint balls were defensive tactics and some how ok. Or that an armed 17 year old shooting people who ran at him with a skateboard was patriotic.

In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, Trump claimed that “we had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend, and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs, wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that.” Trump's 'plane loaded with thugs' conspiracy theory matches months-old rumor I want a President who doesn't spread unsubstantiated Facebook rumors.
