    You must have a really short memory if you believe half of what you just posted. It's not worth debunking crap like this.

    Thanks for your opinion, but I can't agree with your statement. I'm not going to stick up for "liberals", but I think your characterization is off by a considerable amount.
    Trump, imo, is just a different source of propaganda, brain washing and corruption. He tricked people into believing he was some kind of savior.
    Do you think Trump is an honest person?
    Most people who don't want Trump as president were not liberals, but moderates. It's the reason he didn't win re-election. If it were just liberals, as you claim, he would have won over the moderates and won re-election.

    Who is being held illegally in jail? You aren't going to cite Greene, are you?
    This is hyperbole to the nth degree.

    Answer this one question: what was the purpose of protesting and entering at the Capital building on Jan.6th? From their own mouths, it was to "stop the steal", or to overturn the election results giving Biden the win and keep Trump as president.
    I wouldn't call it a coup, but they definitely were trying to alter the democratic process of electing a president for the United States.
    The intention is important.

    Where's the so-called "medical plan you all are just gonna love; you'll love it trust me."; I'm still waiting for this great program to be unveiled.

    "Mexico will pay 100% of the costs of building the wall, I guarantee it"; Mexico's president's response: We won't pay a penny towards it. Mexico's president kept his promise.

    "The Corona virus will just go away without a vaccine"; why do we still have it

    "I won't have time to play golf if elected president since I'd be too busy"; in fact he played more golf;

    He said he'd cut our taxes and the super rich--like him-- would pay their fair share; he did the opposite, By 2027, the richest 1 percent will have received 83 percent of the Trump tax cut and the richest 0.1 percent, 60 percent of it. But more than half of all Americans will pay more in taxes.

    He said corporations would use their tax cuts to invest in American workers. Nope; the tax money saving used by most corporations was used to buy back stock instead of increasing the wages to workers;

    He promised to be "the voice" of American workers. Again he failed to come through on that promise; instead he worked to strip workers of their rights in the workplace, he also repealed overtime protections and rolled back workplace safety rules, and turned a blind eye to employers who steal their workers' wages;

    He promised to eliminate the federal deficit; instead he increased it by 7.8 trillion dollars (the third largest in the history of the country).

    He promised to lock up Hillary Clinton for using a private email server. He didn't. Funny enough, Trump used his personal cell-phone for official business, and several members of his own administration, including Jared Kushner and Ivanka, used private email in the White House as well.

    He promised to enact term limits for all members of Congress. Never happened.

    Gosh! There's plenty more but you get the picture.

    ???? A ten day delay to the certification of the election, to have a chance to investigate the results. And stopping certification doesnt make Trump President in 2021.

    The election had already undergone several "investigations." The goal wasn't to get another recount. The goal was to run out the clock and kick the can down the road so that the EC could be disregarded and it would go to a straight House vote. Yes, that would have made Trump president in 2021, in opposition to the will of the American people. And that was, according to the Trump team's own memos, the explicit purpose.

    That's how close we came to having an autocrat seize power. Amazing.

    That's true. I've heard people say that this is the closest we've come since the Civil War, but even that isn't accurate. This was much closer. The seceding states tried to leave after losing the election. They didn't try to change the results of the election. Trump did. He's a historically unprecedented enemy of our Constitution.

    Trump is an honest person, because in contrast to others like Obama who hesitate before speaking, to make sure that what they say will be beneficial to themselves politically, Trump reacts impulsively. He will blurt out exactly what he thinks and feels, something that has been to his detriment many times. That is certainly not the personality of a liar. An egotist yes, but not a liar. There is a big, big difference.

    To say that Trump tricked people into voting for him, is an insult not only to my intelligence, but to the intelligence of every American who despises the lies and manipulations coming out of Washington and its MSM propaganda networks.

    As for Trump, to his credit and in contrast to most Democrats, he did not seek the presidency for financial gain. He was a billionaire. Rather he sacrificed much of his wealth so he could serve his country. This of course was a threat to the self serving interests of others in Washington. They feared what he might dig up, so they had to destroy his presidency - which they did with the Russiagate hoax and Schiff's impeachment trials.

    I like others, watched the proceedings and heard the witnesses that the judges refused to hear. What were the judges afraid of? Were their families threatened the way some of the families of the witnesses were, or were they afraid of their position and career?

    The election was a constitutional issue, why did Roberts refuse to take it? Is it because he feared a civil war by the Democrats as I had heard, since the Democrats had caused so much destruction of property the first time Trump won. Doesn't this mean then that Biden won through intimidation, and not through a fair election?

    Funniest nonsense I've ever read on the forums. No one can honestly believe that, even if all they had to go one was his own books.

    I guess you missed the memo on "the plan".
    The plan was to have the vote "not certified" by Pence, nullify the votes from each state, and have the House of Representatives vote on President, but each state would only get two votes (maybe one, but either way all states would have an equal number). Since there are more "red" states than "blue", they would then pick the "red" candidate.
    The results had already been investigated, and have numerous times since, and nothing significant has come up. There was no good reason to not certify the votes, except that Trump didn't like the results.

    That's not what I'm hearing, but then it's the Guardian so what can one expect? :roflol:If I recall correctly, weren't they the ones taking pictures of the summer resort at Socchi in the winter, and the winter resort in the summer to show how empty it was?

    They never give up with the deceptions do they? We're all idiots in their minds.

    Whatever's false they'll say it's true
    and throw the lies back onto you.

    And what is right they'll say it's wrong.

    Then woe to all, it won't be long.

    When everyone will wear a frown.

    For what is 'up', they'll call it 'down'.

    Then try to make the day a night

    so dark can reign, without the light.

    Narcissistic egotists tend to have lots of problems with the truth. Maybe Trump is such a narcissist that he doesn't know the difference, but you can't possibly be serious about Trump is an honest person.
    No insult to your intelligence was intended.
    No one has offered up any credible evidence of voter fraud. Even some of the people who claimed it vehemently (Giulianni, Powell) admitted in testimony that it was not true.

    They wanted to delay the vote, something that was not unprecedented in the history of our nation. It was a political protest. Since when are political protesters locked up without a trial? Isn't that a human rights issue, and shouldn't it be taken up at the UN.

    Hiding the truth in the media and internet, doesn't change the fact that the election of Biden was fraudulent as was proven recently in Arizona. All it proves is that we are now a Banana Republic. Thank you Democrats, you are getting the nation you deserve, but we're not.

    We want our country back.

    This land we love so mightily,
    should not be handed readily,

    to selfish men with hearts of stone,
    who carest only for their own.

    And who will come so angrily
    to tellest us so blatantly

    that we should never dare to stray.
    For only they should have a say.

    And that we not do as we please,
    while forcing us upon our knees,

    to worship gods of lust and greed.
    And things that we can never heed.

    Now these are things we did not choose.
    And freedoms something we can't lose.

    To liberal laws and swords so cruel
    and brandished 'bout by those who rule.

    - Jeannette

    Stephen K. Bannon surrenders after he was indicted on charges of contempt of Congress

    Bannon, the former Trump White House adviser, was charged after refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He is expected to appear in federal court Monday afternoon in Washington, D.C.

    I wanted to point out something. Read what you typed and your poem, especially the green part. You don't see America as all of us, only your own. Hence, it's your America or our America.
    Then what, eliminate anything different? I think you're caught in the "it was much better in the good old days, we should get back to that" crowd, but that ship has sailed. We can't go back in time. Things are changing, always have and always will. It wasn't better when we we're young. It was just that ...........we were young.


    Also, your poem fits Trump to a "T".
