    I honestly can't tell if this was meant to be a joke or not. Poe's Law strikes again. But it wouldn't surprise me if someone were actually unhinged enough to think this was a legit point.

    Trump doesn't have a filter and he thinks he's above the law. Those of us not trapped in his Delusions of Grandeur Omnipotent can clearly see who he is. He flaunts it and uses smoke and mirrors to manipulate some people into ignoring it.

    I predict this will be his stupid

    It's probably too late for his targets. They are siding with criminals over the Capitol police. That's not a good sign.

    You are on the wrong side here so your opinion doesn't matter.

    Sounds great, but I don't buy it. What's your excuse for not arming the Kurds and preventing other nations from arming them? Why wouldn't he share information with Jordan and Egypt as to where ISIS was so they could help fight them? How come he backed out sending missile to Poland? Everything that man did was wrong. But you'll stick up for him and never say one word against him.

    I never read what she said, but I can imagine. You never know what will come out of Trump's mouth. Unless it's to make himself look good, one way or the other. That's why I hate it every time that man gets in front of reporters. He says some of the dumbest things. But aside from the stupid thing he did Jan.6, I pretty much like the things he did. Not much of anything he said. Trouble is, the bias news never gave him credit for anything. They tried to keep it all from the public.

    I have never agreed with what Trump did that January. It was wrong and he was wrong trashing his own VP over it. He should have known it would get out of hand. Then he waited to long to tell them to go home. I have no problem pointing out Trump's bad points. I filled a whole thread I put up pointing them out. But I also have pointed out his good points where no one else will.He did do a hell of a lot of good for this economy and the country and getting a rush on this virus medicine. But I know it will never make it into the history books.

    He did try that in the courts, but had not on shred of verifiable evidence, so he tried to get Pence to stop it

    China’s Dangerous Chokehold On Our Medicines

    The U.S. doesn’t depend on China for 80 percent of the oil needed to fuel our economy. That would be economic suicide. But we do depend on China for 80 percent of the core components to make our generic medicines.

    How dependent are we? If the Chinese government turned off the spigot, pharmacy shelves would be empty within months. Hospitals would cease to function. Doctors couldn’t perform surgery, treat cancers with recommended medicines, or provide dialysis treatment for people with kidney failure. Infectious diseases such as pneumonia and STDs would go untreated.

    China's Dangerous Chokehold on Our Medicines - The American Conservative


    That is just what China did. They threatened Trump to withhold the vital ingredients used in most of our medicines if Trump wouldn't agree to their trade demands. Trump knew we couldn't allow China to do that so he did this.

    Good Faith now that is laughable.. If they were in "Good faith" they would also be asking for the communications between Pelosi, Bowser and the Sergeant in Arms but those are "off limits"..

    Is not a single Liberal curious why when offered 20k National Guard troops to protect the capital they were turned down?

    Because he didn't think they even tried to look into vast voter fraud. He thought they had the evidence in a video the pillow guy spent millions putting together that was suppose to be solid proof (Absolute Truth) Trump was convinced that video was true and no one wanted to really investigate it. They just shrugged it off. It looks like the pillow guy got taken on a sham, But they believed it. Trump even called Georgia and told them where to look for voter fraud in the video. He was sure it was true.

    So what’s next? Indictment? I doubt that. Impeachment? Yeah, go for it! It is your only issue, obviously.
    Bleep or get off the pot. Your deal.

    And I admire your consistency there, but it isn't just about January 6. Trump had been trying to reverse the election far before then, and the DOJ should DEFINITELY be reviewing those efforts for criminality. None of Trump's good points change the fact that he tried to reverse the results of an election. He tried to overturn it. He abused his office to do so. No politician in US history has ever done so much to try to overturn our elections. That deserves a discussion. And it deserves one in court.

    Lol, the fake news engine is now saying it was 20k? First they said 10k. But I guess if people are blindly swallowing their lies, they might as well double down, right? No, that's not what happened. Read.

    No she didn't. But the head of the Capital Police did and from what I read, turned down the National Guard twice. From what I also read, the FBI had information that a group of people were planning to cause trouble at the Capital. If they told the head of the Capital Police that, why did he still turn down National Guard twice, knowing how big that crowd was? That doesn't make much sense. Did he ask Pelosi about it?

    I Would suggest you would look up the Chain of Command of the Capital Police ( and who the Sergeant of Arms reports to) along with the role of the National Guard before you mouth off again...

    And your "likes" buddy should stick to his avatar or he will continue to look just as foolish.

    The Capitol Police Board oversees and supports the United States Capitol Police in its mission, and helps to advance coordination between the Department and the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives and the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate, in their law enforcement capacities, and the Congress. Consistent with this purpose, the Capitol Police Board establishes general goals and objectives covering its major functions and operations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations.

    The Capitol Police Board consists of the Sergeant at Arms of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the U.S. Senate, and the Architect of the Capitol. The Chief of the United States Capitol Police serves in an ex-officio non-voting capacity. The Chairmanship alternates annually between the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms.

    The House Sergeant reports to the Speaker of the House..

    He resigned btw.. Just like the Police Chief and the counter part in the Senate Mike Stenger..

    Well FA, the evidence says otherwise. It shows Obama giving into Russia continually. It also shows he was weak fighting ISIS. As a matter of fact, I don't know what Obama was good at beside being able to make people love him with he sweet voice and good looks. Even his handling the economy was bad.
