This is the most horrific thing I've ever read on Veteran's Day -- a day we all should honor those who served our country, and be humbled by their sacrifices for we the people.
Instead we have a maniac running for the presidency, who demonizes Americans he disagrees with, while sending a strong message to his cultists, especially the unstable among them, that our fellow Americans -- the Left in particular -- is destroying America, when, in fact, these sort of out-of-control hysterical accusations from him are actually doing that very thing.
I have never heard hateful and dangerous language like this from a presidential candidate in my life, and it is highly disturbing to understand that millions of Americans see anything good in this demagogue who, by his language, seeks to vilify and diabolize Americans.
Trump is sick, and mentally unstable. Read his language to understand he should never be anywhere near any lever of power. He called the Left "thugs" and "vermin!"
Trump has all the markings of what would be a vengeful and murderous dictator. He has said himself that he will be MAGA's retribution.
This is language and promises never before heard in an American politician, and it harkens back to 1930s Germany.
I am not exagerating.
READ. HIS. LANGUAGE!
Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to our country. And it escalates daily.

There are those who do not see and feel the dangers looming for the world if a vengeful, well-armed-with-power, former president is unleashed upon it. History is replete with such critical times as we are witnessing, but not enough of us are able to learn its lessons.
A sizable minority of Americans, and a crazed unstable lunatic, will very likeky bring America down. The government of red states are galvanizing around the same fascist ideology that brought us WW II. And doubt it not, tRump has supporters still working in the federal government. They are judges and technocrats that wil do his bidding when he's back in power. 2024 may very well be the end of our democtratic republic. I'm glad i'm 71. I won't have to live with this shit much longer.
Somebody had to have written that for tRUMP. It's much too organized and structured to come from the brain of the orange lunatic.
Such a nice message of unity and the celebration of all, from the left and right, who have served and fought for our country, flag and people.
From a former US President.
"He called the Left "thugs" and "vermin!"
Doesn't the Left call the Right those kinds of names too nowadays?

You don't understand that Trump wants to be president of the WHOLE United States, and yet he has demonized a majority of its population by calling Americans "vermin?"
You're part of the reason we are where we are. Your inability to understand evil when it spits in your face.
NOW I've seen everything! Shaw has demonized Donald with her Lies about dishonoring Vets, when he is the MOST RESPECTFUL TO VETS President that we have ever had. UNLIKE THE CRETIN WE HAVE NOW.
John Kelly confirms Trump privately disparaged U.S. service members and veterans
Trump called fallen soldiers "suckers” and "losers" during his presidency, according to a 2020 report in The Atlantic.
"Suzanne" obviously knows nothing about Trump and how he insulted our veterans. Because like most MAGAs, they live in a bubble and will not allow any truth about their cult leader to leak into their ignorant reality of what he is.
TRUMP CALLED OUR VETERANS "LOSERS" AND "SUCKERS." Not one person in his family, going back two generations EVER SERVED IN THE MILITARY.
Trump is a disgrace to America.
And "Suzanne" is an ignorant cultist.
Shaw, as I see it cultists know Trumps Veterans Day message 'let the cat out of the bag' by saying the quiet parts out loud. They really don't see the rest of us as humans just like them. We are vermin. But apparently we weren't supposed to know they feel that way (I'd insert eye rolling emoji's here but there really isn't space to correctly reflect my depth of eye rolls here).
Honestly, calling humans vermin is not new. As a warrior in the battle for LGBTQA+ rights I was told many times that people like me were meant to be prosecuted by the law, not protected. Sigh.
Also, I find it interesting that Suzanne accuses you (without evidence) of demonizing Trump when all you really did is relay exactly what he said. Funny that. So Suzanne didn't notice Trump disrespecting our fallen troops in France? She didn't hear him ask the parents waiting for the remains of their dead son why would he join the military, what was in it for him?
Again, sigh.
As for Rye, I can tell he never watched Sesame Street to play One of These Things is Not Like the Other. Here's a clue. President Biden never called MAGA GOP the scourge of the earth. I have but I'm not an elected official representing all the people, not just the ones I like. The GOP calls those of us paying attention Libtards, snowflakes, and a host of other pejoratives. Why is it ok for Rye's side of life to be rude but it's a tragedy if we do it?
Oh yeah, as Rye would say Freedom for me but not for thee.

"Suzanne" is an escapee from Lisa's Latrine. I expect nothing better from an escapee. They do not know facts, just propaganda fed to them by Newsmax, FAUX NOOZ, and the like. That's why "Suzanne" didn't know that Trump's own Chief of Staff, John Kelly -- whose son was killed in the line of duty -- that John Kelly heard Trump ridicule people like John Kelly's son and call them "losers" and "suckers!"
"Suzanne" is an ignorant MAGA. That's all.
Trump is a disgusting human being who mocked and ridiculed men and women who did serving America.
As to your comment on anyone calling a human being "vermin," as Trump did referring to Americans, we all know that Hitler said the same thing about Jews, homosexuals, and other marginalized human beings.
And we all know how that played out.
People like "Suzanne" are ignorant of history, and they are a disgrace to America and the men and women who serve our country.
PS. Rye Twinger doesn't understand very much. His/her comment proves that.
So we have one candidate who has little respect for the armed forces, we have president who didn't know what to do at a wreath placement. One who has called 1/2 the population our greatest enemy and one who has called 1/2 our population vermin.
We have to do better than this because the next election has consequences.
Skud... can you provide a link where President Biden called 1/2 of us "vermin" or half 1/2 our population our "greatest enemy"?
If you're going to make statements like these, you really should link it up and provide the exact quote.
Otherwise, and this is a recurring theme, you run the risk, absent actual evidence, of being either wrong, or making stuff up.
And no, interpretation, or your understanding of the words does not count.
Exact words Skud.
Can you do it?
skud Trump called Leftist VERMIN that "live within the confines of our country."
What do people do to vermin? Do you know? I do.
People KILL vermin. Got it? Trump wants to regain power in America to eliminate "vermin."
Do you understand what language means. Have you ever read the writings of Hitler? He called Jews "vermin." Do you remember what his regime did to Jews and other groups Hitler did no like?
What is wrong with people who don't look at Trump's dangerous words and understand what he's telling his cultists?
Never, never, NEVER did Joe Biden or any other American politician Republican or Democrat speak words like these about a majority of the American people (Yes, a majority. More Americans voted for Biden than voted for Trump). Never have I heard a Republican or Democratic politician, never mind one who wants to lead this country, call Americans VERMIN!
Trump sounds like the madman who destroyed Germany and exterminated Jews and other minorities.
When a politician starts throwing around the word "vermin" to describe his fellow citizens, PAY EFFING ATTENTION!
Don't go looking for both-siderisms to excuse this dangerous and villainous maniac!
Rev, English is my preferred language and I realize you have a difficult time understanding it so I will try to simplify my statements so you are not confused. No where did I state joey b said people are vermin. That was the donald. Joey b did say that maga was the greatest threat to America. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. FYI or for your information that statement came from The White House web site so I assume it is true.
I do hope this was clear enough for you and if not I will try to find a translator who can explain it.
Ms. Shaw, Politicians throw around things all the time but it is mostly because they are seeking attention. Joey b attacks half the population because he wants attention and the donald slings accusations because that is who he is. It is still the DNC's fault we have the donald. Had they not have backed the most hated person (at that time) for president and thrown the others in the trash the donald would have lost. You blame the republicans all the time but you really need to place blame where it belongs and that is the DNC.

“This vermin must be destroyed. The Jews are our sworn enemies, and at the end of this year there will not be a Jew left in Germany.” — Hitler, 1939
“We will root out the Communists, Marxists … and Radical Left Thugs that live like vermin within … our country.” — Trump, Veterans Day post
One of the most ironic aspects of this situation is that, despite the lessons of history, we continue to see attempts to use dehumanizing and divisive language in politics. It seems that, despite the grave consequences of such rhetoric in the past, we haven't fully learned the lessons that history has to teach us.
skud "Ms. Shaw, Politicians throw around things all the time but it is mostly because they are seeking attention."
Nope. Sorry, skud, but neither you nor anyone else will make excuses for Trump calling Americans "vermin." No politician has ever crossed that line by mimicking Adolph Hitler's rhetoric. But Trump did, and that should alarm you. Do you not understand what that means??
skud "Joey b attacks half the population because he wants attention and the donald slings accusations because that is who he is."
Give us links to where President Biden came close to uttering what Trump did. You cannot because Pres. Biden never did such a thing. You are trying to "both-sider" this, and you cannot.
skud "It is still the DNC's fault we have the donald. Had they not have backed the most hated person (at that time) for president and thrown the others in the trash the donald would have lost."
Nope. We had Trump because of the electoral college. Hillary got THREE MILLION MORE VOTES THAN TRUMP. You try to blame the Dems when clearly it's the the people who VOTED FOR TRUMP who are responsible. He was a known Liar, Cheat, and Fraud!
skud: "You blame the republicans all the time but you really need to place blame where it belongs and that is the DNC"
That's rich. A majority of the American people wanted Hillaary. FACT. Put the blame where it belongs: Russian interference, the electoral college, and stupid people who fell for Trump, the conman.
Exercise in futility.
People who choose to to bury their heads in the sand shall remain ignorant by choice.
Lots of those in MAGA America. 70 million give or take. Certainly enough to consider it dangerous .
Very, very dangerous. For everyone who refuses to kiss the ring as well as the ass of tRump.
There will likely be a lot of ring and ass kissing if the great turd is reelected.
Skud, once again, you've got your quote wrong. Why does this keep happening?
President Biden said in his speech in Arizona honoring his friend and war hero the deceased John McCain that "MAGA Republican extremists... does not share the basic beliefs in our democracy."
He has said very forcefully multiple times in the past that he is not talking about "all Republicans" but the MAGA extremists in their midsts.
But for some reason, stupid people, present company excluded of course, keep interpreting that to mean all MAGA, all Republicans or even preposterously, 1/2 of our population.
It's like Hillary's deplorables quote. She never said all conservatives or all Republicans are deplorable. But that's what people thought they heard.
But here's the deal for those too stupid to understand English... words matter. And if the words do not say it, the speaker didn't say it, write it or mean it.
And that's true for President Biden as much as it is for former President Trump and anyone else.
Leslie,
Where did you come up with 70 million are MAGA. I am a conservative but far from a trump MAGA unless you mean her are 70 million who want to have America be Great then count me in. I guess if you don't want America to be Great then you just may be in the minority.
MS Shaw, I thought the idea of russian interference was not deemed valid because they did not have much influence. I would say voting from your couch without proof your eligible was more of a factor in the last election than russia in 2020.

That "magaturd" spilled the first blood???
Even though SOMEBODY ELSE... started it with "deplorables".
As well as Historical Lessons -- that is NOT (with oth due respect to the numerous victims of his crimes) Hitler and Nazis... who started bloodshed -- THAT WAS COMMIES!
And Hitler was REACTION on it.

Hypocrites? Or just Insufferables?
Yawn.
skud "Had they not have backed the most hated person (at that time) for president and thrown the others in the trash the donald would have lost."
To remind skud and any MAGA who come here:
Hillary Clinton got 3 MILLION more votes than Trump. Trump won with 47,000 votes from 3 states in the electoral college count.
Contrary to what skud and others say: THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN 2016 WANTED HILLARY, NOT TRUMP!
If she had been chosen like all other democracies on the planet, she would have won the popular vote by 3 million.
So NO, skud. Hillary was NOT the most hated, since 3 MILLION more Americans wanted her as POTUS, not the Liar, the Cheat, the Fraud, and the Rapist.
That's who the gullibles chose over one of the most qualified candidates ever to run for the presidency -- Hillary. And the American people wanted HER!
STOP

Vermin vs. Deplorable
"Vermin" are nonhuman life forms like rats and cockroaches. Get it? Calling humans "vermin" dehumanizes them, making them easier to exterminate. Hitler called Jews and other minorities "vermin." Guess what he did to them.
"Deplorable" is an adjective that describes people who are disreputable, dishonorable, and disgraceful. Those adjectives aptly describe Donald Trump, therefore, describing the people who voted for him.
Trump is a serial adulterer, a fraudster who regularly cheated people out of money, and a pathological liar. "Deplorable" is an excellent word to describe someone like him. It DOES NOT DEHUMANIZE HIM. It describes him, and in turn the people who admire him.
Shaw, had Comey followed the protocols and not reopened the investigation into Hillary weeks before the election I am firmly convinced she would have won. And the GOP has the nerve to call foul about legitimate investigations into the wrong doings by the Trump crime family.
Also, in reply to the ramblings of Anon -
Right, right Anon. Because both words deplorable and vermin carry the same weight.
Deplorable = deserving strong condemnation (per the dictionary)
per Wikipedia Vermin = The term "vermin" is used to refer to a wide scope of organisms, including rodents (such as rats), cockroaches, termites, bed bugs,[4] ferrets, stoats, sables.
Historically, in the 16th and 17th century, the expression also became used as a derogatory term associated with groups of persons typically plagued by vermin, namely beggars and vagabonds, and more generally the poor.[5]
Disease-carrying rodents and insects are the usual case, but the term is also applied to larger animals—especially small predators—typically because they consume resources which humans consider theirs, such as livestock and crops. Birds which eat cereal crops and fruit are an example. The American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), is widely hated by farmers because of crop depredation. Pigeons, which have been widely introduced in urban environments, are also sometimes considered vermin. Some varieties of snakes and arachnids may also be referred to as vermin. "Vermin" is also used by some people as a term of abuse, either individually or collectively.[1]
Because it's well known that the farming industry invests millions of dollars to eradicate "deplorables".
Ha! What a maroon (H/T Bugs Bunny)
PS Anon I stand firmly behind any measure which dismantles any system that upholds the Land/slave owning patriarchy. Those folks may have been our origins but it's not who We The People are now. Time to make better choices. Time to consider all our citizens, not just those who reflect archaic archetypes.

S.K.: Yes. Let's get rid of the Electoral College and do what every other democracy does: Winner of the most popular votes gets to be the head of the country!
Right now, the electoral college gives us the tyranny of the minority -- which is what we had under Trump.
In 2020, Biden had 8 MILLION MORE POPULAR VOTES THAN DID TRUMP, plus the E.C. In 2016, Trump beat Hillary ONLY with the E.C., and he had 3 MILLION FEWER POPULAR VOTES than Hilary.

S.K. Anonymous is ignorant. Trump and Trump Organization has been found GUILTY of FRAUD and CHEATING on the value of his properties to gain favorable tax advantages. The New York civil trial is ongoing in order to find out how much Trump will have to pay for his crimes.
Trump and his fake University were found guilty of FRAUD, and he had to pay $25 million in damages to the people he defrauded.
Trump has been documented on his 30,000 lies he told and continues to tell. He's a pathological liar, incapable of telling the truth.
Anonymous, like all MAGAs is proud of his/her ignorance on these facts, pretending to not know them.
More evidence of how easily Trump lies:
Victoria Brownworth
Is Trump a liar or just in early-stage dementia?
Trump says he got legislation passed for veterans that was actually passed in 2014 during the Obama-Biden admin. He says no one else could get it passed in 59yrs.
"Congress passed a new version of a Choice program in June 2018 — but the program itself has been around since 2014.
After the scandal of long waits and the efforts of administrators at some facilities to cover that up, Congress and the Obama administration passed the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014.
For veterans who couldn’t be given appointments quickly enough, or who lived more than 40 miles from a Veterans Health Administration hospital, the government would pay for private care. In four years, Washington spent $12 billion on the program."
Gang... anon has got to be either a bot, or -FJ is playing with Chatbot GPT. The syntax is off, the vocab is bad and the "ENGLISH" belies a misunderstanding beyond just bad grammar.
But back to Shaw's post... Trump is screaming from the mountain tops what he wants to do in his next term. Unless he is setting us up for an insanity defense.
His governor is off, his brain no longer can help him maintain his racist id in the closet. Calling Americans vermin? Saying as he did at a recent rally that immigrants are "poisoning the blood" of Americans?
Trump is unhinged and we will not be the folks stopping the crazy train. The lights are blinking red and our greatest hope is for ppl on the Mothership and their crowd to come to their senses and toss Trump overboard.
For the good of America.
“Root out vermin“ is a direct threat to over half of our country.
The Republicans continue to pretend Donald Trump is not an unhinged, demented wanna be dictator.
Failing to rise to democracy’s call, the Republican silence is complicity.
If democracy dies, it will be due to the IMPOTENCE of the GOP.
Trump said this over the weekend...
“The threat from outside forces is far less sinister, dangerous and grave than the threat from within,”
You know what? He's right!
The threat to Americans comes from weaponized right wing Americans shooting up schools, churches, markets, doctors offices and more.
Those shooters, and the people who sent fentanyl through the mail to election officials last week, are all right wing American MAGA extremists.
Why is that?
Fascism expert Jason Stanley said Donald Trump’s Veterans Day vow to purge the “vermin”-like “radical left” more than just echoed Nazi Germany dictator Adolf Hitler.
MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan asked the Yale University professor, who authored “How Fascism Works,” if he was “wrong to make the historical comparison to antisemitic propaganda during the Nazi years.”
“No,” Stanley replied. “It doesn’t echo ‘Mein Kampf’ ― this is textbook ‘Mein Kampf. Any antisemite will hear this vocabulary as directed against Jews.”
Ivana Trump claimed her ex husband kept a copy of Mein Kampf by his night stand.
He probably thinks of it as his "holy" book and has it memorized.
tRump, his blind MAGA's, and the gop are indeed a much greater threat to our democratic republic than any foreign threat is right now.
Apparently unhinged and demonic is what the gop, some conservatives, and the MAGA's want for America.
Democrats need a candidate that has the potential to actually crush tRump should our sleepy government allow him to run again after all he has done. Right before our very eyes and ears.
As much good as President Biden has accomplished he is not the man for the upcoming battle according to a growing number of knowledgeable people.
