    Hell, they give "journalists" Pultzers for telling lies. Surely you know that.

    “Weaver [News and the Culture of Lying: How Journalism Really Works, Paul H. Weaver (The Free Press, 1994).] makes a similar point. The real failing of the press, he argues, is that it has become a victim of the man-bites-dog syndrome. “What’s actually going on in the real world is the ordinary business of ordinary institutions,” he writes. “What officials and reporters converge on, therefore, are travesties, not real events. The news stops representing the real world and begins to falsify it. The barter transaction between newsmaker and journalist degenerates into an exercise in deceit, manipulation, and exploitation.””
    HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW, Why the News Is Not the Truth, By Peter Vanderwicken, From the Magazine (May–June 1995).

    Why are you not content with facts and truth? Nobody ..... NOBODY ..... said there was an attempt "to destroy the Capitol". (Not "Capital".)

    I saw it. We all saw it. We know better. Why do you think you still can snow us with such misrepresentation?

    Yeah damage by anarchists. They're not leftists.

    OK so you have no actual examples to illustrate your claim. Got it.

    That's fine with his peanut gallery because they believe that he loves each and everyone of them and only has their best interest in his dark hardened heart.

    anarchists are leftists and there were plenty of far left agitators destroying property and even murdering people as they tried to protect property or keep stores safe.

    Trump said to terminate all rules and articles in the constitution, not the constitution itself. Big difference!

    *sarcasm*

    So what does Trump want to terminate? He uses this specific word in his post but none of his supporters are able to tell us what he wants to terminate.

    It's totally fair that you disagree. I doubt there is anything we've agreed on, so it's unlikely to change now.

    The Constitution was terminated in 1861. It has been just lip service since then.

    Perhaps he got the idea from Trump who diverted government funds into building a wall that the court ruled was illegal.

    No-one can continue to ignore this bloke. He is an anarchist, wannabe tyrant/despot.

    Link.

    There ^^^ he doubles down on his 'unconstitutional' claims, as well as make a bigger fool of himself. Pardons for those arzeholes guilty of serious crime on Jan 6! Bloody hell!

    not true. SCOTUS only allowed Trump to divert funds until the appeal was heard by the circuit court.

    It may not be calling for the termination of the entire Constitution, but it is quite clearly calling for the terminations of those constitutional rules that would prevent him from reversing the election like he wants to do.

    Well that's not what happened, although the Trump v. Sierra Club case is similar. The difference is that Trump depended on legislation that allowed him to divert funds for the wall, but the court held that the need had to be unforeseen, which building a wall was not. But...Trump ended up getting the money from Congress anyway, the legitimate method and wall construction continued until Biden stopped it. Curiously Biden has never pushed Congress for legislation for funds to pay for the loan forgiveness. I assume this is still ongoing but Biden just did an executive order, no legislation.

    Biden wants to ban guns. That's unconstitutional, but you don't seem to mind.

    Twitter is and was private company - they can bias any way they like - just like Fox News can.

    If you think the judicial system is that corrupt, then you are making silly judgements on just the case of one person (Trump) ... and even the dullest
    person needs to take a long hard look at Trump when he loses 60 cases in a row (including in front of Judges he appointed) there is a point
    where one has to ask themselves if the problem isn't the courts - but is with Trump and his lawyers.
