How many of you miss these days when the public was happy to see the President in public because of decency and integrity.

Today too many people love corruption, scandal, indecency, incompetence and the belittling of others less fortunate.

Reminds of when Trump worked at McDonald's. Watching Trump try to act natural is so uncomfortable.

This country is no longer worthy of a genuinely positive human being like Barrack Obama.

Social media had yet to dig deep into the bowels of humanity. To conjure up the hellspawn we now call President.
Trump is the first, but he will not be the last. Our schism will reinforce our negative traits until we collapse under the weight of them.

I want to throw up my hands and exclaim something in exasperation to "How many of us miss these days . . . . . . decency and integrity".

Earlier today, I heard Trump and quotes from the media say something about the pardons he gave to two "wonderful criminals" or "exceptional criminals" -- or something like that. That's what I THOUGHT I heard, but the media commented precisely because the Criminal-in-Chief was totally perverse in expressing his appreciation for the Chrisleys.

I explained in another thread and post that I couldn't let go of a 1978 Liberty Eisenhower silver dollar, bearing the image of a hero who likely exemplified the best of what Americans thought their country could elect to the Presidency. Both the Democrats and the Republicans wanted to nominate Ike, but he turned down the Democrats. He was a Kansas farm boy. He carried in his memory and conscience that deaths of perhaps 500,000 young men. He had Honor. He followed a Code.

I can only feel anger toward anyone who doesn't see the contrast and wish for a time when America was so much closer to the kind of greatness acknowledged by many people and many nations as we began to recover from The War. Ike's own party subsequently stumbled -- through Watergate, through Iran-Contra, through the questionable call to war by W. Bush 43. But Ike pointed the way, Obama came through.

How do we repair this? Between the fervent Will to restore the country and the sense of helplessness I feel with the challenge, I have a sick feeling in the abdomen.

It was my first thought after the 2016 general election. Dumpster fire. Lo and behold, worse even after the 2024 general. And worsening... Where I live not all is rotten, though.

Also comparing the 2023 speech from Harris at West Point with Trumps 2025 speech.

President Obama showing he has a sense of humor even when someone takes a jab at him.

Watching an unbelievably embarrassing press conference with the German Chancellor and Trump at the WH is a perfect example. Was asked about D-day and our moron president says to the Chancellor "I bet you weren't happy when that happened" (chuckling). Of course the Chancellor has to educate the moron that all the German people were suffering under Hitler and were very happy they were liberated.
The man has no education, thinks he's a genius in his own mind.
