    *LOL*

    It's now a "crime" to administer your own private platform?

    Some of these documents were still sitting in his ****ing desk. There were many, many such documents. He knew there were there. He's still demanding them to be returned. "Orange man god" arguments ain't going to cut it.

    That's where they were found, bud. And he's not denying that he willingly and knowingly kept these documents. Much the opposite. You were better off admitting that you had no defense for his theft.

    The baggage isn't from what he actually says so much as it is from leftist memes taken as verbatim truth when they aren't even close.

    I wonder how close his desk is to the storage room. Could the FBI been told to look in his desk by someone inside?

    Yea, the left can't run on their own accomplishments so Trump is convenient for them. I imagine they will be contributing to his campaign.

    You mean a witness? Yes. Sometimes law enforcement searches places because they have a witness. Regardless, your implied excuse is so pathetic that not even his own legal team was willing to try it when the Special Master that they wanted asked them to clarify if they thought anything had been planted. And, again, Trump has publicly admitted that he took the documents. He can't claim ignorance anymore.

    Did he or did he not advocate terminating articles from the Constitution with regards to the election? Simple yes or no. It's easy.

    Yeah, that will be difficult to articulate for DeSantis on the campaign trail. He is going to say his policies are the same as Trump which goes back to my original premise that he would be running as Trump lite. He will tout being a successful governor and Trump will talk about his awesome presidency which people including DeSantis applauded, some calling Trump the greatest president in their lifetime. Trump will talk about how he made DeSantis political career. Trump will compare DeSantis career and service to his accomplishments in business which made him very, very, very, really successful. Essentially he is running against the republican incumbent with the promise of having less baggage and being younger. Trump will spin that into having done nothing but ride on his coattails... If Trump loses to DeSantis do you think he will shake his hand and concede and pass the torch to DeSantis or will he claim fraud, call him a cheat and polarize his base against him. Do you see Trump doing what Cruz did and manning the campaign phone lines to get out support for the GOOD of the republican party? Given DeSantis age the best thing he can do is wait 4 years till 2028.

    That of course is the usual failure to under stand the Republican base. Trump doesn't actually have a base. What Trump has is the people neocons spent the last forty years crapping on, the Reagan conservatives. He has them but he can lose them just as easily. He won in 2016, largely because he was the only game in town. That's no longer the case.

    I think the Twitter release of convos between the LW government and Twitter employees have already proved they'd love to censor anyone who stands in the way of their power-grabs.

    A bit too quick there on the "fake news" trigger, weren't we?

    But my question to Republicans is this: Does he mean terminating the 2nd Amendment? Some have said that that's what people who want to become dictators wanted terminated. I never imagined they meant that Republicans would want to terminate it. But it sure looks like Trump was listening...

    I never was. Even less so now. There's a kook whisperer in charge now. And he looks like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

    They aren't though... they're simply twisting his words around in order to create a story to cover up the Twitter/government collusion story.

    You and many others are falling for it, yet again. You and many others are focused on Trump, instead of how the federal government and Twitter were both colluding to meddle in elections and the free flow of information.

    Twisting his words around is not directly quoting him. Fake news is, once again, trying to create a story out of nothing in order to dip dive dodge divert or otherwise distract people away from the real story, which is the documented collusion between Twitter (& big tech in general) and the federal government.

    Why do you automatically oppose whoever you are told to oppose?

    This has already proven to be a lie and Trump never said that.

    Did he or did he not suggest terminating articles, etc. from the Constitution in light of this?

    I'm not understanding why anyone would want to defend any political operative colluding with social platforms to censor speech. Twitter could inform the government of illegal activity on its platform, but the government has no business determining for them what is acceptable speech. The public is good at doing that. I don't know how tweets I've seen criticizing Musk for what he's doing.
