    The voting public is becoming never Trumpers.

    There is corruption and then there is corruption.
    ''Normal'' corruption is not something anybody is supposed to know about.
    Which is why it's called exactly that.

    But Trump is different and FOR THIS REASON ALONE he transcends normal criminal behavior.

    Trump doesn't even care that his corruption is known. (Hence his Roger Stone commute.)

    Trump doesn't just practice corruption, he is a corrupt character.
    Other words for that are manipulative and downright destructive.
    Zero understanding for the decency that keeps humanity in working order.

    These are the worst traits of a dictator.

    Just Romney's way of paying Trump back for supporting his Utah senate race.

    Just to clarify the above underlined; the first thing on Trumps list of Ten Things I Hate About America, is her Judiciary.
    Criminals, like Trump, tend to dislike the law enforcement that might expose their criminal activities.
    They tend to see things in reverse.

    For criminals, like Trump, THE LAW is the crime in their lives.
    A mugger that might suddenly rob you of your beloved criminal activities.

    A baby cannot talk so, when seeking a beloved toy, it by-passes such skill by simply crying.
    Trump, the man-baby, seeks to continue his criminal way of life, so he simply bypasses the law.

    But wait until he gets caught...

    Sentence 1 is incorrect. He understands hatred and payback. Sentence 2 is on the mark.

    How about on an associate, or on surrogate?

    Stone is not Trump's friend.

    Sucking up would mean groveling before Trump and ignoring his corruption. I don't advocate that. Sacking up means standing up to him. I understand this is heresy now among the actual RINOs -- the Trumpists.

    Mitt Romney is a Globalist GOP-E Progressive. Trump at least tried to offer him a face saving endorsement that Romney quickly dismissed. A lot of voter remorse in Utah these days.

    And to Congress. He's still a convicting felon on several counts, even if Trump commuted his sentence. More proof that the "law and order" Trump supporters don't actually care about law and order.

    I love how the new Trump "right" tries to define being a Republican or a conservative in terms of attacking capitalism and, instead, investing in the anti-globalist, anti-capitalist protectionism that the far left has promoted for decades.

    Stormy Daniels was not a friend. She was an underling (pun intended).

    Stone did not lie to a grand jury. He was referred by Congress for not being candid about a meeting.

    Meanwhile the Crowdstrike president testified that the Russians did not hack the DNC server. The information was downloaded.

    Funny how that works when you are a corrupt swamp dweller. Double standards are the norm in DC.

    Utah voted for Trump 45%. Of course, they are remorseful.

    Lol, commuting the sentence of a 7-times-over convicted felon . . . even after abusing the DOJ to get the sentence lessened beyond the minimum sentencing for those collective crimes . . . for someone who pleaded with you on national television that he "didn't flip on you" . . . for crimes that involve communication with you and your campaign . . . is "law and order"? No, that's cronyism, bud.
