The Social Contract with Joe Walsh

I got a message from Jim, and I actually get hundreds of these same messages and replies every day, and the message said that the only way Trump can lose is if it's stolen from him. That's the only way. This makes me so sad. Trump has permanently sown distrust in our elections process. For so many Americans. It's so damn wrong.

He did it again. At a rally last night Trump said America is a "garbage can." He said we're a garbage can. He said immigrants have turned this country into a garbage can. Screw Trump. Let's let Trump know loud and clear on November 5th that we're not a garbage can.

On a CNN town hall last night, Kamala Harris made very clear that she wants to focus on the American people. Which is the antithesis of what Trump wants to focus on. Trump is capable of only focusing on himself. This is a great way ultimately to frame the choose here. It's a stark contrast.

We have 13 days to go to make sure we don't elect a fascist as President of the United States. Retired General John Kelly, Donald Trump’s former chief of staff is saying the Republican presidential nominee meets the definition of a fascist and that while in office, Trump suggested that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler “did some good things.”

He lies every time he opens his mouth, he's nasty, cruel, bigoted, ignorant, hateful in everything he says, but it just doesn't matter. It doesn't matter to his supporters, in fact, many of them love what he says, but it doesn't matter to too many of the rest of us, we just roll our eyes. No other candidate is treated that way. Why?

Trump keeps saying this. That his political opponents are the "enemy within." It's an ugly, dangerous thing to say. And it's a precursor to him wanting to use the military against his political opponents. Which is anathema to America. We don't do that here in America. The President is NOT a dictator.

On January 2nd, 2021, he called Georgia's top election official and told that person to go find him 11,780 votes. He told Georgia's top election official to cheat, to break the law, to overthrow Georgia's election. For that reason, and that reason alone, you should never vote for him.

Kamala Harris engaged in an adversarial media interview yesterday on Fox News, and she did great.

She should do more of these adversarial interviews.

The only way Donald Trump can win is to poison the minds of enough Americans into believing that America is a shithole country, a failing nation, a dark dystopian place.

Former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh and Fred Guttenberg have strongly opposing political views. Walsh is an ardent gun rights advocate, and Guttenberg, whose 14-year-old daughter was killed in the 2018 Parkland School shooting, is a prominent gun safety activist. In this recording from the Hopkins Bloomberg Center of the live discussion between the two, moderated by Leah Wright Rigueur, a SNF Agora Institute Associate Professor of History, we hear from Walsh and Guttenberg as they tell their story of how two people who are diametrically opposed on politics and policy can lower the temperature and start listening to one another.

It's time for Trump and any major party candidate for president to receive the same level of security that the sitting president and vice president receive. And I'm glad Trump is unharmed.

Two days ago, Donald Trump took a 9/11 denier with him to a 9/11 memorial service. He took with him as his special guest someone who believes 9/11 was an inside job, committed by our own government.
