    It is the left who does sham investigations, sham impeachments, wants to get rid of the filibuster, add blue states and add seats to the Supreme Court in a massive grab for power.

    If by acceptance you mean we should have all bought MAGA t-shirts, hats, sunglasses and shown up at the rallies with shovels ready to go work on the Wall then I guess you're right, we never did accept him.

    That's bullshit of the purest ray serene. If I ask you to prove it you'll give me nothing but more bullshit from the blogosphere all sourced from what you just posted, bull **** squared with the most 'credible' story in the lot being something from Fox or OAN. That, my friend, is bullshit.

    Yes, if you can show that any former presdent used his position to price gouge, rake in millions a month from supporters and make post election hell on Earth, have at it.
    I don't care what you listen to.
    I wasn't rude to you. And, I wouldn't be rude to anybody because of their imaginary Sky Daddy.

    Many on the left still falsely claim that the 2016 election was fraudulent.

    From some of the books that have leaked out info, he was watching it on tv while those around him told him to publicly call it off.
    It took him what, 2 or 3 hours before he would do so.

    Yep, he got the mob to do exactly what he wanted. Except they fell short of hanging Mike Pence and stealing the votes from the congress.

    Me among them. I still think Trump was the legitimate President 2016-2020 though. My point of dispute is that I see the President as my employee, a manager of an enterprise I'm part of, not my ruler, commander in chief, surrogate father and/or sole and rightful determiner of all my opinions, morals, aspirations and ambitions as Republicans seem to.

    This is a major problem I have always had with Republicans in general. They seem to awaken every morning and look for the steps they are to lock in with whether they agree or not. I find "my country right or wrong" to be a fundamentally Un American sentiment.

    It's like the bank robbery I keep returning to. Do they let you go if you just drove the getaway car?

    None of which is from a really credible source. Almost the entirety of the Republican narrative requires that EVERYONE not actually THEM is lying constantly.

    Senate Judiciary Report on Trump, the 2020 Election & Trump-DOJ Loyalist SUBVERSION
    “Subverting Justice: How the Former President and his Allies Pressured DOJ to Overturn the 2020 Election.”

    Senate Judiciary Committee today released new testimony and a staff report
    link to the transcripts of the Committee’s closed-door interviews with;

    * former Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen,
    * former Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, and
    * former U.S. Attorney BJay Pak can be found here.​

    Moreover the sweeping Senate Judiciary Report -confirms that previous public reporting was in fact accurate - the report states/confirms in part:

    Then White House counsel Pat Cipollone had threatened to resign in early January -the catalyst for threatening resignation was Trump contemplation of replacing [acting] Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen with Jeffrey Clark.

    Senate Judiciary sent a referral to the DC Bar concerning Clark
    Jeffery Clark should never hold any kind of position that requires public trust. Jeffery Clark was/is a Trump loyalist, who unapologetically supported numerous election fraud conspiracies. Additionally the Senate Committee also confirmed that they sent a referral to the DC Bar —based on information and belief that Clark may have violated his oath, as an officer of the Court.

    Clark's proposal to wield DOJ's power to override the already-certified popular vote reflected a stunning distortion of DOJ's authority: DOJ protects ballot access and ballot integrity, but has no role in determining which candidate won a particular election,"

    Senate Judiciary Chairman Durbin statement;
    …the Senate Judiciary Report affirms that we, our democracy and republic were

    “..half a step away from a constitutional crisis, a full-blown constitutional crisis"

    "First phase, Trump goes to court. Loses every lawsuit, which claims there was voter fraud in the election. Next, he decides he has to take over the Department of Justice and the attorney general, and have the attorney general push this narrative on to the states to tell them to stop from sending in their Electoral College vote totals. When that failed -- and our report goes into graphic detail of the efforts that were made -- the third step was to turn the mob loose on the Capitol the day we were counting the ballots,"

    ..Trump’s Maximum Pressure Campaign and the weaponizing of the DOJ to overturn the 2020 Election… presented the single most clear and present danger to our Country’s Constitution, our Democracy and our Republic. Period. Full Stop.

    Election Subversion Scheme…

    The Committee continues to investigate Trump’s efforts to involve DOJ in his election subversion scheme, including by pursuing Trump White House records that NARA has thus far been unable to produce and additional witness interviews as appropriate. Given the gravity of the misconduct the Committee has uncovered to date, however—and in the interest of making a public record of Trump’s efforts to compromise DOJ’s independence—the Committee is releasing this interim staff report. The report makes six primary findings:

    ... Senate Judiciary Report on Trump, the 2020 Election & Trump-DOJ Loyalist SUBVERSION - by File411 - File411’s Newsletter (substack.com)

    Oh, the things you can get away with these days when you're a RINO president....

    Biden's disaster are not as bad as Trump's. Biden has too much on his plate already and is trying the best he can. At least we can give him credit for that. Anyone who favors Trump can...

    LOL, sure thing. Trump created a great economy before a GLOBAL pandemic hit and silly people think government can stop a virus. Too bad Biden is doing such a lousy job of that.

    Can't put it into words? I tell you what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid if socialism. I'm afraid of an entitlement society. I'm afraid of wokeness and political correctness run amok. I'm afraid of the cancel culture. I'm afraid of the left taking American's first amendment rights away. I'm afraid of the left firing us from jobs just because people refuse to get a vaccine that could kill them or cause them very serious side effects. I'm afraid of the left abusing their power in kangaroo investigations and impeachments. I'm afraid of the left destroying out democracy by eliminating the filibuster, adding blue states to the union, and blue seats to the Supreme Court.
