Four brief article excerpts/samples:

"May 2018: Closes pandemic preparedness unit. The Trump White House abolishes the position of director for global health security and biodefense in the National Security Council less than two years before the Covid pandemic. Mr. Biden has created a pandemic preparedness unit, but Mr. Trump says he would abolish it again if re-elected.

05.08.2018: Unilaterally pulls out of the Iran nuclear deal. In 2019, after efforts to salvage the deal, Iran resumes high-level uranium enrichment; officials warn it now has enough material to make several nuclear bombs with further enrichment.

06.04.2018: “I have the absolute right to PARDON myself ....” Mr. Trump publicly floats the idea of pardoning himself, something he has reportedly been pondering since 2017. (Constitutional scholars do not agree on whether presidents may pardon themselves.)

07.16.2018: Sides with Vladimir Putin over American intelligence agencies on Russian election interference. Standing next to Russia’s president at a news conference in Helsinki, Finland, Mr. Trump says he got an “extremely strong and powerful” denial from Mr. Putin that his country had tried to influence the U.S. election. A reporter asks, “Who do you believe?” “I have President Putin. He just said it’s not Russia,” Mr. Trump responds, adding, “I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be.”"

Guns, guns, and more guns in America. Seems like just about every nut - and 20-year-old kid - can and does get them, easily. (Updated)

P.S. (Comment) Compare and contrast the two men: At the time of the 7/13/24 assassination attempt, one leading presidential candidate was apparently making divisive, likely exaggerated remarks to a crowd...UPDATE: A link to a previously published fact-check of the immigration chart that Trump apparently was pointing to (on 7/13/24): 

 https://www.factcheck.org/2024/04/trumps-misleading-chart-on-illegal-immigration/

..YEP: As usual, Trump was lying to ("misleading") his dupes at the moment he was shot at....

(Meanwhile:) ...The other main guy was (apparently)..... at church. Just sayin'. Think about it...:

A tiny-blog voice: Democrats....the bad guy is winning (Updated 2x)

↓Partial screen-captured image copy (cropped), 7/3/24 unaffiliated source link: "Trump Widens Lead After Biden’s Debate Debacle, Times/Siena Poll Finds"

↓Tiny-blog HINT: Being able to use reason and compassion to counter undisciplined, showman/hater Donald Trump are good things and (will) appeal to saner and wiser voters. Democrats also need however, a person who can and will push back hard on the bully, and stand up against the "food fight/pro-rasslin' one-upmanship/mine's bigger than yours" politics now practiced by U.S  'Trump-publicans':

P.S. As backward as it truly is, there is also a significant group of American voters (read: Republicans) who still likely will not vote for a woman for president.

7/7/24 update: Opinion article conclusion, excerpted:

"...Many Democrats are rightly upset that the news is dominated by Biden’s debate travails, not the profound danger to the republic posed by Trump. For those who admire Biden, the great sadness of the moment is that his withdrawal may now be the only way to move the focus back to where it belongs."

Also (comment): ...Some recent Biden polls reportedly are "only" down 1-2% (further) after the debate...

....MORE than enough to LOSE a close race, if that persists...:

Justice Sotomayor dissent, excerpt: “Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today.”

Expanded excerpt:

"...The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in ex- change for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune. Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today. Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law."

Our democracy has been gravely wounded

The Trump immunity decision says: a president CAN VIOLATE THE CRIMINAL LAW if he acts within his broadly defined “constitutional authority”

Absurd and dangerous

There is no basis in the Constitution for this Court constructed…
