    Not to be a fatalist, but:

    Oh, the power of relentless indoctrination, especially selective reporting for which intelligence is little defense.

    For some time, I wrongly believed Democratic strategists erred by directing the continued relentless, vicious attacking and demeaning of Trump, the Republican party, and republicans. Today, republicans sheepishly refrain from expressing their support for Trump, conservatism, or revealing their political affiliation for fear of retribution or being ostracized. The assault on freedom of speech is succeeding.

    But then again, there is the ballot box.

    Ah, yes, all these "Trump 2024", "Let's go Brandon" and "f Biden" flags mean that the poor Trumpers are sooo suppressed by the Dems that they are afraid to even voice their opinion. Give me a break.

    As to the OP: You cry about Trump hate, but ignore the 100s of Biden hate threads created by Trumpers on here all the time. I guess when one hates Trump it is pure, vile hate, when one hates Biden, it is polite political disagreement. Oh, the double standard.....

    And so far no crime has been demonstrated but Democrat crime but you don't care if Democrats lie to the FBI or to Congress.

    If the democrats would have held her accountable perhaps more Republicans would hold Trump accountable. But then that double standard factor comes into play.

    This is exactly why lefties are throwing fits at the mere thought of Trump being elected. Their fits are why I want him to be president again. I so enjoy the exploding heads.

    He tried to overthrow our elections and our Constitution and install himself as an unelected dictator. I can't make people care about the Constitution if they don't want to. But if you don't care about Trump's attempted overthrow, then you don't care about our elections, our country, or our Constitution. There's a reason why the only "responses" you will see to this are anemic and intellectually dishonest whataboutisms and braindead memes.

    Trump was thrown under the bus and could not go on with covid mess.

    He was the one if you remember who spoke of alternatives like hydrochlorquine and antiobiotics and he may have mentioned Ivermectin and oh he brought up Zinc..... But the lazy people were chomping at the bit for a quick vaccine....they got quick but it's not a vaccine....it's unapproved and the FDA does so much to try to dance around with the information on the approvals ...and govt and MSM did their jobs to push for a quick jab.

    Oh, I'll take it a step further. Not only are you not allowed to just not give a damn, you cannot even support truth without being accused of being a Trump supporter. If you dare say something like "...no, Trump didn't really tell anyone they should drink bleach.", then you become a "Trump lover". Amazing.

    It should seriously be a case study of the powerful combined effects of confirmation bias when "you" are fed propaganda.

    Mixing those two things together creates a powerful willful gullibility

    Of course. It's cool for cops to shoot as many black and brown people as they can and it's ALWAYS 'justifiable" even if there is no imminent threat to the officers.

    Black and brown people are KILLED for less than this and Trump called it a "lovefest" (maybe that's why he struggles with marriages) and they are claiming the investigation is a sham. Sure, it's crystal clear that he's clean and systemic bigotry doesn't exist. /smdh

    Suggestion: You might need to update your "Reality vs. bovine excrement" app if you want to understand their <censoring myself>.

    It's quite possible to like Trump's tax cuts and policies, his positions and actions regarding border security and immigration, as well as his textualist/originalist SCOTUS Justice picks but at the same time realizing he's a pompous ass. I knew him personally long before he entered politics, and could have told you the latter part many years ago.

    You could also say he is single handedly responsible for saving the 2A, since HRC was on the record that she would appoint Justices that would have gutted it to the point of irrelevance and meaninglessness by acting as an unelected super-Legislature.

    But, he IS a bull-headed prick who probably doesn't tip very well.

    But if it makes you feel any better, I didn't vote for him the first time (though I would have sooner voted for a death-row inmate than HRC), and I'm Team DeSantis for 2024.

    I guess I wasn't done. So, OK, let's look, shall we?

    Considering he was coming in on the heels of a global pandemic, that resulted in businesses being involuntarily shut down, and workers with nothing to do, that's about the equivalent of celebrating a Monday because more people showed up at a job than did for the prior 48-hour weekend.

    A chimpanzee could have accomplished that!

    You're absolutely right! That legislation was SO SIGNIFICANT that it has resulted in 1970s-style inflation and $5/gallon gas. Thanks a lot, Joe.

    Because the government was giving your grandchildren's money to their parents! If it had been because they got off their ass and got a job, then I'd be impressed, but so far, not so good.

    So what? Do their vaginas give them the qualifications for their jobs? Didn't work out so well for the Veep that can't even put together a coherent sentence and who was (also) chosen only because she had a black vagina.

    I don't know where you live, but where I do, we've had clean drinking water my entire life. I mean, sure, Biden was in the Senate when I was born, but I don't think he cleaned my water, assuming it was ever dirty to begin with.

    In exchange for a lot more money at the car dealership.

    Which wouldn't be a horrible idea, if it wasn't at the expense of much more reliable and less expensive forms of energy commonly known as petroleum products. I don't know if he personally hates the petroleum industry, or is just doing as he's told, but he is trying to absolutely destroy it. His EOs on the very first day without so much as taking a couple of hours to determine if they were a good idea prove that.

    Again... So what? Does being disabled make me more qualified for a government job than a person who can change their own underwear? Maybe they should invite me to rejoin the Army now, eh?

    And that would never happen, because she is an American Democrat Politician, and they own the FBI and CIA. They wouldn't attack their own people, unless they had to throw someone under the Bus.

    Plus there is a two tier justice system in America, especially for Politicians.
    Rules For Thee, and Not Me. Democrat Politicians get away with whatever they want, for the most part, without ever being held accountable.

    Ah. yes, the Dems not holding their politicians accountable is why Edwards, Weiner, Franken, Spitzer, Cuomo etc. are still in office -- not.

    On the other hand, when was the last time when the GOP held one of their own accountable? They circle the wagon, like with Trump. The more degenerate the politician, the better it is for them to win GOP primaries and raise money.

    Since the clintons are so pure. Just as Bill Clinton and his brother. Whom he pardoned for being a drug dealer. I think his speciality was cocaine. That would make sense, considering have you seen bill lately? very skinny, red face, red nose, and puffy under his eyes. Maybe you know nothing about junkies, but I use to be one as a teen.

    Not to mention underage sex island. Where the man who was running it, magically and "ironically" hung himself in prison, whilst the guards were shopping on Amazong. Even though he was a top priority priosoner that was suppose to be checked on ever so often. Jeffrey Epstien had tapes of some of the top ranked political men around the World. He was full of himself, and wouldn't hang himself. Nobody talks about it though, especially not democrats, because they know it's the truth, and they don't want to admit to anything that sick. Slick willy Admitted to flying in Epstiens private plane, but he said he never "landed" on underage sex island. He was in the ledgure of flying on the plane over 30 times on his private plane. I guess "every time", they never landed. Just like he never had sex with monica.

    hillary doing pay for play with russia. Getting caught shredding top secret documents, and destroying her hard drives. Joe doing pay for play with hunter and the prosecuter who was investigating him. You remember, the billion dollar remark as vp caught on cam?

    Bordering on obsession? That passed that line long ago. I agree with you that it would be better if Trump didn't even run for two reasons:

    1. Yes, the left would go out of their ever lovin obsessed minds and the result would be another 4 years of the country obsessed with something they shouldn't be obsessed about, instead of dealing with our problems. It's a horrible thing that the left could actually win out on this by being so obsessed with Trump to the detriment of the country. They shouldn't be allowed to win like this but, unfortunately, it is what it is. But, it's an entirely different thing if democrats actually succeed in abusing their power to the point Trump can't even run. That would make this country close to being like Nazi Germany.

    2. Trump would spend four years getting revenge on everyone who wronged him. It would be revenge that he certainly deserves to get but, nonetheless, his obsession with revenge would also be to the detriment of the country. It wouldn't be that way if the left hadn't gone totally TDS bonkers but, again, it is what it is and even though Trump deserves every bit of justice he can get, the country would suffer during that process. It would be better if we had a different president and Trump could exact his revenge in other ways.

    If that were true Trump not only would have been convicted in the 1st impeachment trial, he never would have been nominated.
