I don’t know about you but for me, it pisses the sh*t out of me that my legally cast ballot in 2020 is trying to be negated and disappeared by a possibly illegitimate former POTUS. Additionally,said former POTUS is trying to “jimmy” the system by running for office again so that he may not be prosecuted for former crimes against the American people.That may be the sole reason for his interest in obtaining an elected office which is a slap on my face and anyone else who is concerned that our democracy is being threatened with extinction.

I think another reason he’s running is that he can’t stand being a loser, and since he lost in 2020, he must be vindicated in 2024.

Yes.I totally agree with you.He is running to help himself and the American people and their needs are never even considered.

Just another proof of his mental disturbance. He was already America's Biggest Loser, with apologies to the fat show.

I'm right there with you, Victoria. I consider voting one of the most precious rights I have as an American, and I'm angry about the orange traitor messing with it.

I consider getting out the vote my obligation, and am a voter registration volunteer in my state. We need to do everything we can to keep the criminal from getting anywhere near the White House again.

I'm counting on SC Smith to put him in "the big house", preferably in general population.

True enough as far as it goes, every last syllable, save the "may not be prosecuted for former crimes" since he is (1) Already being prosecuted for former crimes, (2) Has absolutely no legal power to end those prosecutions by executive fiat on his own, but (3) In tandem with a GOP-Magat-controlled House of Representatives, could leverage their `power of the purse' to defund the Special Counsel, so (4) It becomes a race to get the cases finished before the money runs out, including wins on any appeals allowed to Trump and/or his co-conspirators, along with counting on cases winning convictions in states like Georgia - and possibly Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada, when and if it is determined by SC Jack Smith there's sufficient evidence to open what he and his staff believe are winnable cases.

Finally, Trump can't pardon himself to annul convictions for state charges, but he can indeed at least attempt a self-pardon on federal charges; if so, we immediately have an unprecedented constitutional crisis of - no hyperbole - epic proportions, ergo, we are then going to find out if even a Supreme Court as corrupt as this one is, excepting a minority of sitting judges on the court, will be willing to rule Trump can do this without violating the Constitution, and whether or not they're willing to go down in history as enabling that kind of farcically authoritarian flouting of our system.
