Why on God's green Earth would anyone want crazy inept people as"leadership"?They have zero intentions of doing anything for us regular citizens,who work for a living and just mind our own business.What is the appeal of all the drama and craziness,but the real things that need to be done to keep things running for the country to function,are just ignored?

These people DO NOT CARE about working, representing,or leading,they only want to rule us but we get nothing we need.

They also want to eliminate every person that does work for us regular citizens,and replace them with cronies that only work for them.Not to mention taking away every agency that would help any of us.So what's in it for us?Not a damned thing.Nothing,zilch,nada.

So why the hell would we want to vote for these kind of people?The fools who would say"to own the Libs"would soon find out the only people they would"own"are themselves,and would likely fare worse in the end.They won't see how much they will only hurt themselves,and their loved ones and neighbors.

So at the end of the day,we all lose.There's no point in that.So it falls to the rest of us to save these dunderheads from themselves,and make sure these inept morons are kept far away from any post of leadership.It is truly up to the sane to save the insane.

I ask myself the same question. Many times a day. Why hand the reins of power to not only delusional, mendacious people, but people who are actively malevolent? Near as I can figure, there are two broad categories of supporters: those who are too shallow, ignorant and hateful to really contemplate the ramifications of doing just that, and are thus easily manipulated, and those who know how bad MAGAism is and are just evil mofos. These include the execrable liars and schemers like Bannon, Stone, Flynn, and the entire Drumpf family. The second faction is irredeemable. The first group may see the light, although it's difficult to convince them .

As I read your "disbelief" (tongue-in-cheek) I am reminded of Trump's mocking a disabled journalist. Robinson fits right in with that family of slimy degenerates and perverts. Brian, you wrote an entire book about those folk, a book which I am currently reading: "Shameless." Those folk lack all sense of moral decency and human dignity. Just when we think we have scraped bottom, we discover a whole new bottom. The challenge is not to be dragged down by them. They must not dampen our spirits. We must soldier onward to fight the good fight and WIN.

It is hard to believe how immune to hypocrisy Trump, Robinson, Herschel Walker, the whole MAGA and conservative movement are. They are over the top ridiculous. If Josh Stein and the Harris/Walz ticket can prevail in NC, we'll have Robinson to thank.

Like an incorrigible child, they want to wear us down. Beat us down until we give in out of pure exasperation and exhaustion. Yet, they will not win at this game because we know their game. In her own clever way, Kamala Harris played Trump at his own game. In some respects, the MEDIA has been Trump's greatest ally because instead of calling him out for his treachery, the MEDIA has celebrated him to get higher ratings. There is nothing credible about Trump and everything incredible, evil, and sinister.

Q: what do GOP supporters do if ever presented with credible evidence their candidates are unworthy of office?

A: deny, deny, deny.

Thank you, Brian. I'm glad he's still on the ballot, so North Carolinians can vote for a much better option than the "party of family and Christian values". I've read a little of what he's said and I'm currently warming to Trump's idea of a bleach cure-all.

I hope you don't mind me highlighting the "Dangerous Case of Donald Trump Leadership Fitness Conference", this Friday, Sep 28, in Washington, D.C. I want people to be aware of it so they can follow the ensuing news. The World Mental Health Coalition also plan to publish a short book and are fundraising to achieve this. Delighted to say they're pretty close to their target. Here's what their fundraising page adds:

"Immediately after the conference, the full conference will be available online, but very importantly we will also have our video persons quickly select key short segments to be individually available as well as a one-hour documentary made from the full conference. Then throughout the critical month of October, right up until election day, our newly retained media relations company will be continually working to promote awareness of the conference, with Dr. [Bandy] Lee the key spokesperson, with major media."

I'd love it if everyone could spread the word, and watch out for and share the videos when they appear online. I'm not affiliated with the conference (I need a psychologist after a decade of Trump!) but I'm concerned for the future of not only the United States but the whole globe if we don't give this despot and his band of merry weirdos a huge middle digit in November. There are enough mad villains in the world without America gifting us the maddest of them all.

I'm sure I'm not alone in stressing how grateful we are to you, Brian, and your generous contributors for keeping us informed during this critical election cycle. You are all absolute diamonds to democracy x

The media has sold their souls to the profit and ignore their solemn duty as outlined in the Constitution to be a vital guardrail against tyranny and government malfeasance.
