  1. I can’t stand the man, I think he’s horrible. That being said, he didn’t just win, he won a mandate as did the Republican Party in general. Therefore, he deserves the opportunity to lead and hopefully lead for all Americans.

      • Joe Biden didnt have the ability to put aside his public disdain for Trump’s garbage supporters over the last four years and it showed up in very bright colors on election day which tossed his shoe-in out of the Whitehouse.

      • I hope you’re right GF, but honestly there’s not a chance in hell that this will happen. Say hello to Steven Miller, MTG, Steve Bannon, RFK, and a whole host of other hate-mongers as your new leaders. They’re people filled with a hatred that will only be magnified by their cruelty and their desire for revenge.

        There is only darkness at this moment, the sole ray of light being is that each day that passes brings us one day closer to when Trump, one way or the other, finally goes away.

  2. Hate half the country? You two are way out there. If he is so hateful, how is it he aligned with dem rfk jr, dem/ coverted republican Tulsi, Elon, JD Vance, and Vivek? I would consider that quite a mixture of people who only want to do what is best for their country and its citizens. How you get hate from that is bizzare.

  3. Those are all people that he felt could help him. Trump hates anyone who doesn’t kiss his a$$. It’s just his demeanor. It’s the narcissistic in him. Almost 50% of the country decided his actions that lead him to courtroom battles were not for them. They had a different character in mind, someone who actually acts presidential. Not just leftist, but independents and conservatives alike. I hope you can understand this.

    • You are the one full of hate along with every other TDS victim. You sit on your thumbs and try to convince yourself Trump hates anyone who doesnt kiss his ass??? You need help buddy.
      TDS sucks.

      His courtroom battles were a result of a mean Joe Biden weaponized DOJ.
      90 some charges? Get real.(The only charge not applied was tearing the tag off his mattress) He was just tried by a jury of his peers which is the basis of our justice system and found “not guilty”.

      As a matter of fact it was proven the more phony charges jacka** Garland dreamed up the more support Trump gained from the sane people who could see through the bulls**t.

      I cant believe you ever received a teaching degree but from the test score results in Alaska….I guess you did.

      • No need for insults.There’s no call for that. I’m just talking about the lawsuits that trump paid off, the grab them by the huha rhetoric and uh, I wish I had generals like hitler stuff. All that turns my stomach. I just don’t like his filthy mouth. And although I was educated in Kansas, I did pass the California teachers exam in order to get a teaching license in Alaska. I wasn’t smart enough to be a real teacher. I was a shop teacher.
        I used up class c certificate, which means that a local school board Petitioned the state to allow me to teach because they saw that I was professional and woodworking and construction based on my history. I cautioned you not to go any further, because you may be at risk of just sticking your own foot in your mouth. Rather than trying to find fault with me, why don’t you try to figure out how to mend the nation and the fifty percent that voted against trump.

  4. This is the greatest political comeback in my lifetime and the biggest drubbing of an opponent in the electoral college since Reagan in 1984. So, I’ll restate what I’ve said before. If you love this country, every American should at least give him the chance to fail if that’s what you’re expecting.

    • Well, those who voted for Trump went into it Eyes Wide Open. We shall see how much they like him when there are mass deportations resulting in economic damage, tariffs that raise prices on almost everything, when an overrun Taiwan results in our inability to get critical electrical components, when people are being beaten in the streets, and when protections provided by agencies like the EPA and FDA are stripped away, resulting in injury to the population. Maybe then people will come to understand what a threat this man is.

      With any luck the damage will be limited and he won’t ignite a Civil or nuclear war. But with Trump, one can never be so sure. Because when someone hits you, “YOU HIT HIM BACK TWICE AS HARD”, right? That’s his whole ethos.

      Shame on America for electing this abhorrent person. We have now sown the seeds of our own destruction.

      • No we have prevented our nation from being dragged into a 3rd world war. Leaders of the world whom are two faced are lining up to congratulate him. You I also have the likes of Ukraine and Russia as well as Israel immediately working to stop their conflicts. He hasn’t even taken office. That’s the respect that was lost in 2020.

        As for our corrupt govt agencies, a house cleaning is in order. MAHA, Make America Healthy Again, what is wrong with this? Holding agencies feet to the fire and stop poisoning our foods, and get everyone off of unnecessary meds. You understand that they allow poison ingredients in our food, right? Foods that we are not allowed export.

        Manufacturing and jobs will come back through the implementation of tariffs on imported goods. Sounds like a win to me. Construction jobs build factories, factories employee neighbors and the public receives quality American goods.

        Did you and forker even go to high school or did you just find credentials in a box of cracker jacks?

      • Chances are exceedingly high that we will see your guerilla fighters in action, well before inauguration. Of course, lucky for us, that will be entirely unthreatening and all about love.

        Maybe reconsider your worship of the bureaucracy. It can’t save you. Only one can.

        • If you’re speaking to me, then you need to know that I don’t have any guerrilla fighters. But the oath that many do take gives them the authority to fight against tyranny, foreign and domestic, so take that with a grain of salt.

  5. So In other words your a sponge from the states who came to alaska to pad your retirement in the villages. Got it. Bethel wasn’t a mistake it was a stab in the dark. Good job outting yourself as to your true character
