Sadly I feel the only person who can beat Trump is Biden.
Strangely he has been the most progressive US president

It seems insurrection, treason and rape are red lines, even for some Republicans.What I can’t fathom - and I sincerely hope the polls eventually reflect this - is how anyone who didn’t vote for Trump before would consider voting for him this year (assuming he’s the candidate). He’s objectively worse now than he was then by every measurable objective, and he’s pissed off more people and crossed more red lines since 2020, so you would only assume his vote would be in freefall.

It’s mystifying. How is anyone coming round to him, or expecting he’ll be better this time?

A Colorado-based pastor for an online church accused of pocketing $1.3 million through a cryptocurrency fraud scheme told followers in a video statement that the Lord told him to do it.
Eli Regalado and his wife marketed their cryptocurrency, INDXcoin, to Christian communities in Denver, saying God told him people would become wealthy if they invested, the Colorado Division of Securities said in a statement Thursday.
INDXcoin raised nearly $3.2 million, the Securities Division said. At least $1.3 million of that went directly to the Regalados or was "used for their own personal benefit," said a complaint filed Tuesday in Denver County District Court. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna135143
A Pennsylvania man has been arrested after allegedly killing his father, before displaying his decapitated head in a gruesome YouTube video while spouting right-wing conspiracy theories.
Justin Mohn, 32, is accused of killing his father, Michael Mohn, police told NBC News. While police did not release the victim’s age, public records show him to have been 68.
Mohn was taken into custody about 100 miles away from the crime scene on suspicion of first-degree murder, abuse of a corpse and possessing an instrument of crime with intent, according to a court docket released early Wednesday.
He was arraigned at 4 a.m. and denied bail, Middletown Township Police Capt. Pete Feeney said.
In the YouTube video, which was titled "Mohn's Militia - Call To Arms For American Patriots" and is cited in a police complaint, Mohn is seen wearing gloves and holding his father's head in a plastic bag. Later, the head can be seen in a cooking pot.
