If only we could deport Trump!!!! Send him to Guantanamo forever.

Sally D.'s avatar

Along with his entire regime, the J6 insurrectionists and the rest of the MAGAs.

Kristie's avatar

I'm right there with you Ann! Damn trump to the hell he's sent other people to!

Teri Gelini's avatar

How about El Salvador with all his bones and J6 insurrectionist and mega senators and house reps!. As a Floridian you can add death santis to the group and the texas guy Abbott

Louise's avatar

There are so many miscreants strutting around that it took me a couple of minutes to think of the guy I sincerely detest: ah yes, Ken Paxton, Texas attorney general.

Nana's avatar

Yup Paxton will rig the election so he win senate seat if Dem can take house and Senate back expel several republican. Their all seem to be low life cowards. Spineless

Cats 🐈🐈‍⬛'s avatar

Along with abbott, ken paxton, dan patrick, ted cruz and john cornyn all need to go far far away, maybe a one way ticket to Mars.

John/ Bring It On 🤠🌵🪖's avatar

We can at least get him on the boat at the mid-terms.

Lois W. Halbert's avatar

If only. I will never forget that Republicans are supporting him.

Diane1's avatar

I'll settle for sending him to his resurrection of Alcatraz in lieu of deporting. If he TACOS on that, Sing Sing is a good alternate.

Cats 🐈🐈‍⬛'s avatar

I have visited Alcatraz and that would be a perfect place to lock them up! Absolutely no remodeling required!

I suggested this weeks ago when the story first broke

TACO: an all-purpose adjective, noun and now verb to describe Trump. I love it.

Send him to live with the penguins

R D Noisemaker's avatar

That would be unfortunate for the penguins!

With the Senate back in session, we have a miniscule glimmer of hope. However, if they continue their slumber, then we can kiss it all good-bye.

I Resist's avatar

write/call your Senators NOW please!

John/ Bring It On 🤠🌵🪖's avatar

Call and write them and tell them to read the WHOLE "Big Beautiful Abomination Bill" before they vote on it. Especially the part about reducing the power of the courts. Sneaky Bastards !!!

I Resist's avatar

I just emailed my Senators, Risch & Crapo (Idaho). Section 70302 contains language that restricts the federal courts authority to hold government officials in contempt if they violate a judicial order. TELL THEM TO REMOVE IT; IT'S A DIRECT THREAT TO THE RULE OF LAW AND THREATENS THE POWER OF THE JUDICIAL BRANCH. This is dictator speak MAGA hid in the bill, which is 1000 pages long. What BS sabotage crap is that. HOLD A MIRROR TO THEIR FACES!

John/ Bring It On 🤠🌵🪖's avatar

Lucky you, both your senators are Republican. I live in a swing state (Arizona) and fortunately Kelly and Gallego don't need to be persuaded. I have to deal with David Schweikert in the House. Every Monday there is a protest in front of his office and he never responses to messages on his website and refuses to do town halls. He'll be come out from under his rock around election time.

Diane1's avatar

Good that they keep holding those protests in front of his office though. What a neighboring district (Repub) does near me is - at the rallies in front of his office, they have the people sign a petition and a few leaders from the group deliver it to his office. Also they delivered a list of issues and questions people wanted answered. He finally held a press conference on May 29th. Not sure how it went but I will find out tomorrow. They also take photos and videos and post them on social media and send to media.

I Resist's avatar

John and Diane1, hold their feet to the fire and mirror to their faces. It’s likely fear of T brought them in and it needs to be fear of their constituents that drives them out!

Patricia Lane's avatar

It is appalling that Donald Trumps decision to trash “ America” is ongoing. He gets more depraved with every passing day.

He surrounds himself with other haters of freedom.

It’s truly amazing how hateful so many Americans have become . This hatred has expanded

Including the Republican Congress .

These elected alleged representatives of “ the people” care nothing for the people.

They have demonstrated this clearly by allowing Trump to continue his destruction without any attempts at intervention. Congressional Bottom feeders.

MAGA=Make America Go Away - from the world stage, from it's former influence and prestige, from it's world leadership, and so on.

All to line the pockets of those who already have more wealth than they know what to do with.

Meanwhile, the rest of us will suffer.

This will be very damaging to everyone. Especially the defunding of science. Unfortunately a lot of americans are not educated enough to see that this is a disaster. The ultimate cause of all these problems is a poorly educated and informed population. People do not have good judgment because of it.

Kat Hudy's avatar

That is true, but I sadly am starting to believe that there are a lot more hateful people in America than I ever imagined. 😟

Or drape her in all black and blindfold her. So sad.

Todd Bruton's avatar

My wife and I are traveling to Europe for the first time in August. The last leg of the trip is Switzerland. Recently, due to anti-American protests in that country, Switzerland was added to the State Department's travel advisory list (level-1). Unbelievable. And now, it appears we also have to be concerned with our return to the states given that we are openly adverse to Trump (e.g. social media). What the hell happened?!

Kelly Rohrer's avatar

Change your log in on your phone or tablet to a password before you leave instead of facial recognition or a fingerprint, then you don't have to unlock your phone. It's against the law to be asked to do so, but not so with a fingerprint or facial recognition.

Emkaykay's avatar

Change your profile names on social media so you can’t be searched and delete the apps before going on your trip. You can disable most of them, or sign out, and then delete from your Home Screen. When you return you can reactivate!

Michelle Ponkutcat 060's avatar

Good advice for anyone traveling outside the US, maybe even within the US.

Kat Hudy's avatar

Trump & MAGA happened.

MargaretT's avatar

We, as a country, brought this on ourselves, I fear. What DT is doing is horrific, but I also think apathy and irresponsible attitudes (especially among some elected officials) have led to this result. I certainly have not walked in their shoes, but it seems that if some have been vocal in their opposition, then why can't others in positions of power do more as well? We cannot give up! Thank you, Adam Kinzinger, for continuing to speak out.

Suzette's avatar

I am a Canadian, when trump was in office the first time I did not travel to the States, because of him. Now, I would not go there and I am avoiding buying American products. TACO is even more despicable then I predicted he would be back in 2015 when he first announced his run for President. I did not think that he would win and I was stunned when he beat Harris. He is out of control and I fear for the sovereignty of my country. The neighbor that me and my fellow countrymen have regarded as our closet friend and ally is no longer trustworthy.

Joan Bailey's avatar

Please don’t give up on us. We are trying everything we can think of to push back. We, as Americans, are mortified that the dumb ass orange man baby got elected (still not sure how that happened). It certainly was NOT a mandate. Regardless , he’s ruining our country and we’re sorry to our neighbors for the pain.

Suzette's avatar

I have family and friends all over the U.S., so I will never give up on you. Unfortunately, it no longer seems safe to visit. Who wants to be denied entry (or be incarcerated) for posts on social media. TACO has pissed people off here, and he needs to tone down his rhetoric. When he stops the tariff bullsh*t and quits threatening to annex us we will probably buy American products again. I, for one will not visit until he and his cronies no longer hold power.

Jay Jay Eh's avatar

Logic confirms what you say to be true, and blanket accusations of ‘all Americans’ due to the actions of a few is unreasonable. Canadians & others being negatively impacted will need to ‘vote with their wallets’ in the meantime, unfortunately.

— it pains me to think that doing so will cause $$ harm to nearby states that do more trade with Canada esp, but there is no other way, unfortunately — an indiscriminate, scatter-gun approach that will hurt friend & foe.

When Trump is gone there will be a tremendous backlash against all things Trumpian, a great celebration & gradual return to normalcy. The harms will gradually be undone.

Lucille Sanchez-corea's avatar

From your lips to God’s ears

Joan Bailey's avatar

Firstly, the orange man-baby being gone is a shaky premise at best. But even if/when he’s gone there are many waiting in the wings that are like minded and much younger than donOLD who would carry on the despicable policies and project 2025.

Jay Jay Eh's avatar

True, but as we speak the Trump BRAND is unravelling.

Plus the results of his-their Project 2025 will soon be felt in a very negative way.

Laura Fraser's avatar

And there will be nobody to stop it. MAGA is too freaking stupid to ever understand what Trump is doing and they'll never turn on him. Trying to talk to them is an exercise in banging your head against a wall. And the rest of the voters who decided Harris wasn't pure enough can't take their vote back now.

Kat Hudy's avatar

I hope & pray you are right.

Cindy Marshall's avatar

Beautifully said, Joan and it's so true!

Laura Fraser's avatar

Ditto. Also Canadian.

Ian Mark Sirota's avatar

We are reaping what we have sown, unfortunately.

I Resist's avatar

Ian, not sure what your comment means, but less than 50% of voters voted for Trump and I definitely wasn't one of them. Unfortunately, we are all going to reap the bad decision making, bigotry, lying, cheating etc. etc. so I do agree if that's what you mean.

Ian Mark Sirota's avatar

I wasn’t either, and my point, inartfully made, was indeed that we will a pay a price for the result of the last election.

David Holst-Grubbe's avatar

Adam please help. Lead this coordination.

If you believe as we do that MAGA fails without FOX and that destroying honest media like PBS makes it even worse;

Eviscerate FOX. Deny them ad $ by denying the ad buying company CEO and execs bonuses. For example Home Depot. Boycott them for a full fiscal quarter. Get all on line influencers to post every day for the entire time. See how fast CEO’s stop buying ads - do only ONE brand - do it implacably for an entire quarter. See how quickly you become the new sheriff in town and how fast other CEO’s quit buying ads. See how fast FOX changes content. All they care about is $. Oh - and next generation FOX CEO will be a decent human being if you do this.

Details matter. Talk to me. See Target and Tesla for examples. Companies are people, not paper. Make it personal.

I Resist's avatar

8647! Can we have a special election for President in 2026 in addition to Congress? Writing Senators Risch and Crapo today to tell them what I think about Trump's "big beautiful (corporate tax break) add to an unsustainable deficit rise and kicking the most vulnerable of our population with Medicaid and nutritional support cuts. If you want to know more about what the "big beautiful" does to our deficit read my two posts from last week free @bob swandby

Emkaykay's avatar

Bob we are going to have some hurting people in our state. What will be their solution?

I Resist's avatar

Megan, their solution is get to,the next protest, and the next and the next because as long as MAGA is in power I think a solution is unlikely and make sure they are registered for 2026 midterm election. Go to their Senators’ offices now and protest. I wish I had a quicker solution, but I don’t unfortunately.

Cindy Marshall's avatar

Adam, this is truly sad. I'm curious to know how foreigners view the American people's opinion of 47's hate regime. Do they know the majority of us are unhappy with what is happening?? How can we show them we are fighting to be that shiny beacon again. I believe until we convert the Christian Nationalists to live their lives asking "what would Jesus do?", the hate will continue.

Thank goodness you are seen and heard around the world as hope to relight the beacon!🗽

Laura Fraser's avatar

We know. And we're sad about it. We're also worried about your slide into authoritarianism, given that you're right next door to us.

Cindy Marshall's avatar

Laura, I just want to say most of us are sorry 😞🇺🇲. There wasn't even a majority that wanted 47. Too many just stayed home instead of voting; not believing it would ever be this bad! The good news is people are waking up and I'm praying they won't allow the complete slide to authoritarianism!

P.S. I love visiting your Country 🇨🇦

MaryMcC's avatar

Thank you for understanding how sad, angry, frightened the majority of us in the US are now.

Kathe Rich's avatar

It should be obvious to everyone by now that Trump is following Putin's dictat to turn our nation into the sh*thole that Trump claims it is. Putin is thrilled, and Trump is so happy that his surrogate father is smiling at him.

Bodhi's avatar

The entire GOP are daily violating their oaths ignoring court orders breaking numerous laws punishable by removal from office and impeachment

If any part of our legal judicial branch was meeting this moment the entire party wld be removed while they wait for an impeachment trial and stop this coup

For fks sake this is an active coup by a domestic terror organization

Yet it’s biz as usual in America’s government—The Strongest Country In The World treats Enemies Of The State within our own borders —allows corrupt systems to be played so as not to upset the corrupt institutions allowing this to happen

WTP Are On Our Own

The gov refuses to acknowledge Republicans have staged war against America and act accordingly

We need top leadership

Our protests calls letters are important but all this talk about waiting for the midterms is delusional

There will be no fair midterms and any intelligent critical thinking adult knows this

Who’s going to enforce our right to vote?

Corrupt Congress?

Corrupt Senate?

Corrupt Judicial?

Timid Democrats?

So far every institution is failing…

We are at war and we better start fighting like it with or without our corrupt government’s approval

No I don’t have the experience or expertise to have the answer as to how that happens but there are courageous Patriots out there that do

We need them organizing bc we will soon be snatched up by the pardoned violent Jan 6th GOP goons for criticizing republicans

Democrats/Judicial

are hiding behind an archaic broken corrupt system That No Longer Works so

They don’t actually have to get into the snake pit to rid the snakes

They stand above the pit watching them devour our rights clutching their pearls pointing fingers

Not one Democrat or Judge has the courage to take the Unprecedented Action to think OUTSIDE THE BOX OF CORRUPT INEFFECTIVE BOX OF NORMS AND TAKE UNPRECEDENTED ACTIONS

And this wearily country winds on and on and on doing same ol same ol’ expecting different results

Brilliant strategy (eye roll)

Check out No Kings day Jan 14 for a protest near you

Let’s do our best to take attention off this treasonous party & their egoistic dominated parade WTP are paying 70-90 MILLIONS DOLLARS

for!

Hope to See you there

MSM won’t cover it but Substack will!🇺🇸💔🙏

Laura Fraser's avatar

This is what fear, too.

Who is going to stop Trump and his fascist administration?

Do people honestly believe he'll allow a chance to lose power?

Seriously?

That's just wishful thinking. There is no chance in Hell there will be free and fair midterms.

Sal Teodoro's avatar

Let’s do this. Screw Trump, the Heritage Foundation, the oligarchs, and the Republicans and let’s take our country back. There’s more of us than there are of them. More Americans better wake the hell up. Like the people in San Diego Fri during that ICE raid, they started throwing things and some sort of push back. We need a hell of a lot more of them and 100x more energy.

Laura Fraser's avatar

Sounds great.

How are you going to take it back?
