    Nope, simply to invalidate a specific post of yours and as I said, mission accomplished.

    That's what they mean by "democracy." Their candidate can never lose.

    That's very astonishing. There may still be many Trump supporters in law enforcement who block the investigations.

    Indeed, everyone could see that gangs of brainwashed Trump-Nazis (some calling themselves Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, etc.) raided the Capitol. :(

    Gangs? How many people? What percentage were organized? It wasn't an insurrection. It was the typical protest that turned into a riot by some people who are good at turning protests to riots. We saw these things throughout 2020. Trump supported a protest, not a riot. This insurrection nonsense is just politics.

    I'm judging from what Trump actually said live on TV. No fake news in my observations.

    It was his personality overall - the bragging, personal attacks, that sort of thing along with the heart on the sleeve. Too bad because he did a pretty good job as president.

    Donald wasn't in full control of his mob. But they did indeed understand what he wanted. Trump is a gangster boss who sends his thugs to do the dirty work, only to say afterward that he has nothing to do with that.

    This time America survived the Trump virus. What will happen next time? :(

    Yes, exactly. In fact I thought about posting just that. The left seem to be saying, "to hell with democracy and who the voters would vote for, we need to eliminate Trump so that the voters who could actually re-elect him couldn't because we want to control democracy so that we get the results we want. Voters are of no concern and to hell with what they want".

    Don't be fooled of what Trump may say. He'll say one thing and mean another. He hopes there will be those that will believe what he says.

    That is not my experience. He just said what was on his mind, right, wrong or indifferent. Incidentally I stopped listening to Trump at the beginning of the year. He is in the rear view mirror.

    Did I ever fail to explain that Trump has diarrhea of the mouth and keyboard? All I have said is that he had the right actions. His words were worth forgetting.

    So they were mind readers. Interesting concept.

    I hope Trump does not run in 2024. Be a king maker. But don't run. 1) He'll be too old. 2) Rather than the issues, the election will be about him. 3) He played his part in the Covid plandemic. Why? We may never know, but it makes him very untrustworthy to me.

    Something might tell me that you could be supporting Trump. It's probably an assumption.
    I've got another reason here: Trump can't be trusted.

    The people have seen Trump for what he really is and was voted out of office. If by chance Trump were to run again, There would be some possibility Trump could lose by a landslide.

    No, I'm a Trump defender. I don't like him any more than you do but I dislike the way he has been treated even more.

    You're basically saying no matter how abhorrent a Republican leader is you'll defend him. That's just blind partisanship.
    Did you also object to the way Obama was treated? Unfounded accusations that he was not an American citizen, was a Muslim and he is gay and Michelle is a man in drag.

    Ridiculous post. You responded to what I didn't say. I said I defend Trump because of the way he was treated not because of what he said. If you are going to criticize my post you should at least have the sense to read it and comment on what I said, not what you think I said. I'm not a partisan. I don't even believe political parties should exist.

    If the Cry Baby Loser runs again, it will be based upon his narcissistic lie that a cult of personality swallows - that the will of the People doesn't matter when a Cry Baby Loser loses - based upon certified election returns filed by Republican as well as Democratic state administrations, having been affirmed by recounts and audits, and by dozens of appeal rejections by judges of both Parties.

    The crackpot notion that some nefarious, ubiquitous vast conspiracy of unidentifiable miscreants perverted an election and left no clues as to their identities is obviously deranged, but if the Cry Baby Loser aspires to recidivism, that is its basis.
