1. Can you imagine if Biden pulled this and posted dumping shit

on Americans while steering a plane and wearing a crown?!? Of course not because he never would.

Being an American is embarrassing to me at this point. If you lived in another country and saw this ad what would your opinion of America be?

2. Good Grief! We have become an embarrassment to the rest of the world!

And that is something that never crossed my mind until now. I've been to both Canada and Mexico as well as overseas and people were always pleased to meet Americans. These days I don't want to leave town.

5. After NO KINGS on Sat I saw Harry on his podcast and he

showed this video by tRump. He was visibly upset. He kept asking, "Why did tRump post a video of ME getting dumped on?!?!?".

I read the comments on his YouTube channel/podcast and they all said the same thing...I AM EMBARRASSED TO BE AN AMERICAN! Everyone had the same thought...how does the rest of the world view America and Americans after they see videos like this from our elected POTUS. We have lost all respect.

6. And Joe Biden worked so hard to mend fences with our allies and restore our reputation

And in only 9 months it's worse than it's ever been and I can't see this turning around anytime soon - maybe in a few decades depending on what happens.

8. I'm SOOOOOOO pissed off I can't see straight.

10. I get that way when I'm watching the news (usually MSNBC) and I have to turn the channel

I like Murder, She Wrote, that was a favorite of my grandmother's. *sigh*

11. I know!

I can't watch MSM, even MSNBC is a joke!

That's why this past year I've learned about podcasts from Dems on YouTube. I like Meidas, Adam Mockler, Harry Sisson, etc. I can listen to them while I cook or do other stuff. They do NOT make me have a panic attack or increased blood pressure like MSNBC does.

I'm a tech moron and I do not do any social media except for DU (is this considered social media?) so I'm way behind and catching up.

12. I came late to computers though I used one for my job, but it was a closed system (no internets)

And I's always voted, mostly for Democrats, but it was 9/11 that woke me up. I was in my dentist's chair in Albany, NY when all hell broke loose. And I was forgotten (think I was there for X-Rays) and spent my time there watching the TV in the room, seeing that second plane hit the WTC over and over. I walked out of there scared witless, thought the world was about to end. And that's when I started paying attention and found DU in early 2003. I remember being devastated when George Bush* won in 2004, but what's happening now is a million times worse. Who could have imagined that Dick Cheney would be on our side??

3. Here is another misleading headline.

Not your fault Rhiannon, but nobody is getting called out, as in being criticized for their behavior. Are protestors really opponents in the standard political sense of the word. It’s just trolling. Even their expert says that the administration uses the trolling defense that these aren’t serious. I can’t but help but think the use of “call out” instead of “troll” or more literally “shit post” is to soften the sophomoric stance this administration has taken to on social media. We on the left aren’t immune to this either, but the legacy media has made an art to amplifying or minimizing factual content through headlines and I see its effects on those I know who are just headline readers. It might be splitting hairs, but many of our elections are decided on where the hair is split.

4. I completely agree with you, he's trolling, trying to insult/belittle/attack his fellow citizens

But only the 2/3 he doesn't like. Can you imagine any previous president in history behaving this way?? A president's job is working to make better for ALL the people.

7. I have a difficulty imagining what is actually happening.

Trump1 then pandemic then Trump2 has provided me with many pinch me I might be dreaming moments.

9. I feel the same way, I grew up respecting our presidents no matter which party they were

That's the way it used to me. I remember seeing Barry Goldwater on with Jay Leno and Leno asked him what he thought of President Clinton, no doubt expecting some harsh words. But instead Goldwater said that Clinton was "my president," that was the way it used to be. But I'm guessing that, thanks to the convicted felon, that feeling is over forever. And there are days that I also feel that I must be in the Twilight Zone...
