I understand that view, but some of the desperate people that I knew who voted for him also had people of color in their families - anger at being left behind seemed to be their main motivation. I think that the Dems need to offer something more for them than "we're not Trump!".

But I've worked with people who had the "burn it all down" attitude and voted for Trump. Those people earned minimum wage, had no hope of ever owning a home, could not even afford to rent a safe place to live and were poorly educated due to cuts to public education. What have the dems done for them?

I agree that the oligarchs that support him because it insures they will accumulate more wealth are not victims.

I think a better question may be:
Why do so many Americans feel so disenfranchised and hopeless that they are willing to vote for an obvious criminal?

While it seems like Bondi left herself open to charges with that performance...I think she might have actually helped to guarantee dem victories in the midterms.

My hope is that the midterms will be so devastating for the current pedophile-supporting republican party that those remaining in Congress will recognize that they have to support investigations and oppose Trump if they want their party to survive.

Is there a judge in Texas brave enough to order the child welfare authorities and CASA to get involved and document the treatment of these children? That is what is needed.

Remember that when Musk talks about how people need to have more babies - he wants to see more white babies, while happily allowing children in Africa to die.

Trump administration working to expand effort to strip citizenship from foreign-born Americans U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials focused on denaturalization were sent to offices nationwide, sources say.

What if they committed fraud to remain in the US and were the subject of a terrible, terrible movie?
"A spokesman for USCIS, Matthew Tragesser, said the agency reviews cases of naturalized citizens when there is credible evidence that citizenship was obtained through fraud or misrepresentation."

Isn't someone in Congress working to follow the Epstein/Maxwell money trail? I think Bondi may be trying to protect her Dear Leader AND herself.

Bondi's behavior was so shocking in that hearing that I wonder if she was actually a co-conspirator in Maxwell and Epstein's crimes.
