Trump’s former supporters know he’s dangerous and unfit to be president

The quote below is from a letter that over 100 prominent Republicans have signed, pledging their vote for Kamila Harris.

“We are former national security and foreign policy officials who served in the administrations of Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and/or Donald Trump, or as Republican Members of Congress. We have served in the White House, the Departments of Defense, Treasury, State, Justice, Homeland Security, Commerce, and other agencies and in Congress.”

Marine Corps General John Kelly, former Trump Chief of Staff and Secretary of Homeland Security is publicly quoted as saying he is a Fascist and praised Hitler’s Generals for their loyalty and that “Hitler did some good things.”

Trump wants to weaken NATO, paving the way for his Idol, Putin, to become aggressive in Ukraine, with Poland being the next stop. He was negotiating to build a Trump Tower in Russia while running for President in 2016.

He has publicly threatened CNBC, 60 Minutes, The New York Times, and others saying he will go after them and inflict retribution when he wins. He calls his adversaries “the enemy within,” meaning anyone who doesn’t bow to him.

Democracy is at stake.Change your stripes, and vote for Harris this time around. If there is a better candidate, vote Republican next time. I am a Democrat, I’ve voted for a Republican President in the past.

If I can change my stripes for an election, so can you.

GOP cares about character, but only for politicians other than Trump

“First Democrats called half the country deplorables, now they are doubling down calling us garbage,” Tennessee U.S. Congressman John Rose, R-District 6, said in a statement. “Democrats’ disrespect for half the country’s views and opinions is exactly what is wrong with the leadership of extreme far-left liberals.”

An open letter to my Rep. John Rose: Sir, The first letter I wrote to you as my representative several years ago, I was curious as to what your thoughts were about Donald Trump being elected President.

In your reply, you stated that character was not a concern of yours. I was disturbed by your response and sent you another letter. From that point on your replies were standard copy/paste, disregarding my concerns.

Trump’s disrespect for others, be they women (grab-them-by-the (private parts)), be they veterans (they are “suckers and losers”), be they immigrants (they are “vermin”), be they disabled (his mocking a reporter), be they anyone who disagrees with him, I could go on and on about the convicted felon. You get my drift about the grifter.

So, John Rose, you are okay with your guy defaming others, but, good gracious, do not defame your almighty leader. You cannot, or do not want to see, that your guyhas taken his role as “The Apprentice,” and has parlayed it into the biggest grift on our country.

Hopefully, we will have an honest woman as our President.

Trump will treat America like he did his bankrupt businesses

How on Earth can anyone support Trump? His many transgressions, be they personal or political, are widely known. His track record while in office is likewise widely known: For all the wrong reasons.

He is a known narcissist and con man, has no clear grasp of economics or policy, and any of his public functions are an absolute trainwreck (that’s the nicest way I know to phrase it). Not to mention his open adoration for dictators both living and non, and their policies/actions.

Do we really want this walking talking dumpster fire running this country – straight into the ground like he did all his failed businesses?
