I live in Spokane Washington- a quiet city near the Idaho border. Yesterday an immigrant individual was grabbed when leaving her hearing (sound familiar?) which led to a protest, involving a prior city council member. This individual was arrested for his part in the protest, we had curfew imposed, tear gas set off at the protesters- another example of something that didn’t need to happen. This person who was grabbed has been working her way through the legal process required and that didn’t matter- she was not a “violent criminal “- so I feel that Trump is getting his wish. He is turning our country into a nightmare for so many.

When Trump was voted in as the president we lost what i thought was our country. We voted into office a proven criminal a rapist, an insurrectionist and a proven liar.

The world watched 1/6/21 live on TV. The mental contortion needed to say it was no big deal is a sign of how far down the rabbit hole trump has led his voters. It's either trump or the USA, you can't have both.

On September 15, 2020 Donald Trump said "We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection, but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor." Portland was, at the time, experiencing ongoing protests concerning racial justice and immigration. How is L.A. any different?

Yes .. .the real insurrectionists is

DON-OLD .....and this is HIS second insurrection he ,himself has instigated. And yet ,he's also in charge of the Laws ..he's saying .So WTF can be done ? This is absolutely appalling putrid behavior and as my and all involved in this coup again need to be held accountable. We didn't do it Jan 6 ...and this is the outcome .. what's next folks . If you voted for this . If you voted for him .. and you knew (how could you not?) this wouldn't happen , you really should have your voting PRIVILEGES revoked because you ,yourself created this problem too without considering the outcome of my children's and grandchildren future

Trump and his enablers are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Russia. The damage they are doing is deliberate and intentional and designed to satiate Putin's lust to destroy what's left of this country.

We totally agree with all who see what you writers here are saying. We need to stay learning all that is happening to take away our democracy.

Like you all here, I have the same words but am feeling defeated that I can’t find the words.

We need to save energy to help keep the country from trump.

Excellent posting. Your disgust and fury over the January 6, 2021 MAGA attempt to storm the US Capitol to overturn the 2020 election is spot on. The injuries suffered by the Capitol Police at the hands of t***p supporters can’t be compared to what is happening in Los Angeles and elsewhere over the inhumane ICE raids ordered by t***p. He always wants to have his cake and eat it too. Thank you for speaking out what so many Americans are feeling right now.
