Trump doesn't care about anyone but himself.

That being said, a good leader should have successors and a good party should have bench strength.

HOW can you say that when the popular (peoples') vote doesn't elect the POTUS?

Just stop already. This happens with every outgoing President. The office will change hands like it always does and the rampant rumors of dictatorship will fall to the wayside.

Unless their report is something positive on Fearless Leader then they and all the others you call MSM are "telling the truth and were not listening"

Yeah right....

Yes, that is how Hitler came to power. Trump is not Hitler on policy, but his political and media tactics 100% are.

I think its all about saving face and not looking like a loser. He cannot handle that. I don't think he is sitting there thinking he wants to be a dictator. But the constitution, rule of law, the truth and a peaceful transition of power are not important to him if they stand in the way of not looking like a loser.

This is getting really scary. He's apparently only listening to dangerous fringe lunatics now. Trump talking about using the military to throw out the votes and keep himself installed as president.

Then you have blood thirsty war monger Michael Flynn telling Trump to "cross the rubicon" which refers to Julius Cesar becoming a dictator and bringing Imperialism to Rome. Oh and he was talking to foreign spies again!

It seems what they want and what they care about is American blood in the streets.
Yes, it can seem all very disturbing if it ever amounts to anything. The desperation and lunacies are advancing for sure.

But you can also play it for high comedy. Can you imagine witnessing last Friday night's lunatic meeting at the White House?. Unsound, unstable minds like Trump, Flynn, Powell, Giuliani (on the phone) yelling at each other talking up or talking down martial law. No wonder Trump advisors ran to the phones after the meeting to report their anxieties about the meeting. I would have given anything to see the lunacy. That will be a great SNL skit.

We should thank our stars that we have voted out the rogues through a sound, legitimate election.

But, yes, we have worries.

Trump is a weak man. He doesn't have the stones to actually DO any of this martial law stuff. He just likes to surround himself with people that tell him he can so he feels good about himself. It's over, Trump supporters. Donald Lost.

28 days.

Between the both of them, they imprisoned thousands of people of color, now they want prison reform? Everything about what they stand for is total bull.
I kind of get the though of liking the idea of an outsider. I think there might have been about 300,000,000 safer bets than the Trump.

I realize there are a lot of talking points trying to equate Biden's character to the Trump's. I would not have chosen Biden in almost any other circumstance, but of the Democrats running, I felt he had the best chance to win. My fear in a second term was that the Trump would run his game something like he is now because he'd feel empowered. Talk about ruination.

Regarding Harris, what exactly do you think she wants to ruin? Everything is pretty broad and hard to counter, except of course to say that she seems to respect the rule of law and the constitution, something many elected Republicans seem unfamiliar with. Their courageous silence on the wannabe Dictator's antics the past several weeks enabled him to do more harm than he could have had one prominent Republican, say Lindsey "I like Trump since it's no longer politically expedient to hate him like I used to" Graham stepped up and said "enough".

But no, we had about 250 "Profiles in cowardice".

I totally believe you voted for Trump twice. What I have trouble with is believing you still don't support his coup attempt.
