Can we start now by asking previous president's and current Democratic leaders NOT to attend the inauguration of a man who intends to destabilize democracy. A man who insulted the current president by fleeing HIS inauguration after trying to overturn the voting for it, and thereafter publicly saying the election was "stolen" (while privately acknowledging he knew he had lost).

Why honor a convicted felon, a scam artist, a man who shows no intention of signing the ethics code, with any pomp and circumstance?

The opposition party should begin its opposition now. Otherwise they will appear to roll over and pretend things are normal.

Things are not normal.

Trump has changed the rules.

Why can't others change the rules too? Because we are better than that? Then go down with a sinking ship.

You omit the culpability of the lying media (yourself included) starting from day 1 of Trumps election in 2016. Also, the 30 year old bogus claim of sexual assault by E. Jean Carroll couldn’t be proven in a criminal trial, so they had to fabricate a civil case in a venue unfriendly to Trump where only 7 jurors have to rule against him. The Bragg prosecution was a single misdemeanor that somehow was resurrected after the statute of limitations had expired and they made that single charge into 34 counts. The appellate court will overturn this decision for numerous reasons. The Smith Documents case has been dropped by the judge and the Willis prosecution is dying due to prosecutorial misconduct. Oh, and the James (NY) bank fraud case will also be overturned on appeal. No financial harm to anyone.

Trump isn’t above the law. In the end, the law just will not be able to make these cases stick and certainly hasn’t been able to fool the thinking majority.

Hi Peter, Aussie in Melbourne Australia. been a keen follower of US politics for some time now. DJT and his team will be the best thing to happen to the US in a long time. It surprises me that you and millions of others will not acknowledge this. The Dems were sending your country to the boon docks. P.S Victoria is the California of Australia. High taxing, progressive, authoritarian state government. Its horrible!

About the only thing I can agree with in your incredibly biased post is that the tariffs are probably not a good idea. I'm more for free trade and and agree that the tariffs will be to a large extent paid for by consumers, in higher prices. Your criticism of President Trump's sex life are from many years ago when he was a philanderer in his youth. I think he's mellowed and changed a lot since then.

Fair enough, but President Trump is not necessarily I would want - however, he was my choice considering the alternative.

You are so out of touch with the average American and what actually happened on Jan 6th it’s pathetic.

Now we know how Moses felt when he came down from the mountain and found everyone dancing around the golden calf.

Perhaps you should try a little honesty. If Trump were as bad as you say, why would over half of American Voters select him? While you accuse him of lying about everything and denying what you claim to be obviously true, you spew a constant stream of lies about fair and honest elections. It is though you have a form of Tourette's Syndrome. The lies of mainstream press just repetitively come out apparently uncontrollably. You do what you accuse Trump of doing.

No, I don't. But I don't have the one that would have been a disaster.

We'll see what Trump does this time. Maybe he'll damage the Republican Party. The Democrats might have learned something from their defeat, but I doubt it. What I'm hoping for is a chance for alternatives to D and R.
