Good description of Drump during the 2016 election, but after he “won” the election, he has exploded from bad joke to serial murderer, taking out one democratic institution after another.

That was an excellent summary of our current dumpster fire.

Just like the rest of the Lincoln Project. Just like Joe Scarborough. Just like GW. Man... remember when we were all talking about how GW was the worst president this country had ever seen? Such simpler times...

But we're at war for the future of this country. We need to win. I'm actually really hoping GW comes out and endorses Biden. I think that could have a huge impact and I think he knows that. We can reassess our alliances come January.

Lyin' Ted Cruz said some nasty cracks towards Trump and look at them now. Ted Cruz on the SCOTUS?

Republicans are have short memories.

And by the way George, you are married to one of the most vile humans to ever walk this earth.

She shares the blame for the mess this country is in.

I hope when all of your children are grown they disown her.

I am aware your 15 year old daughter is already taking this route.

I hope the others follow suit when they are old enough.

His power is he says what 40% of the country is thinking! When he says he's pro life, you know he isn't. He's saying what his followers want to hear. That's just one example, but we'll never know what trump really thinks.

His power comes from saying what bigots, evangelicals, and racists want to hear. He hates who they hate. He speaks for them and gives them permission to come out of the closet and openly hate others.

All they have to do now to find like-minded people, is wear the MAGA hat. It's exciting and liberating. They no longer have to be afraid to say what they're thinking no matter how vile it is.

As I was saying to my sister the other night as we were watching / listening to Rachel Maddow, just keeping track of and fact checking Trump's lies in real time is a daunting task - then there's the well nigh impossible task of figuring out the WHY of each of his lies, and why he said each of them. You think the second Trump Tower, which is the stack of tell-all books about Donald Trump, is tall - to paraphrase the conclusion of the Gospel of John, if you get into explaining the reason for and thinking behind each of Trump's lies, even the tallest Trump Tower could not contain all the books that would be written.
