    Yeah, but what about Hillary, or Benghazi? Or Hunters lap top? These are the things republicans care about, who cares about Trump, that is just a witch hunt

    don't own a tv nor watch network news but the only person talking about Russia is you here...and maybe Sydney Powell or Rudy Giuliani...you are getting your Trump apologist fuel from some source, that's certain. Jan 6th is evidence of a partisan crime...you can ignore that because it doesn't heckle your favorite targets but it's reality. I'm more concerned with armed americans wanting to hang dems and politicians who stood up to Trump than I am Russia....Russia knows how to dupe a fool like Trump.

    Lots of hyperbole here. I think it’s awesome you used a meme that was created to prove the exact point I was making against me though.

    At the end of the day, if you and riverman are still under the misguided assumption that Democrats vs. Republicans is some battle of good vs. evil then we will never see eye to eye because my brain doesn’t work in that oversimplified binary paradigm.

    I will say again though, turn off the tv.

    the battle between good and evil is not partisan....it's common sense...right vs wrong...truth vs lies....what's oversimplified here is your obvious team of choice .... what's not oversimplified is how I've lost complete trust in the GOP leadership and I don't need a tv or to be a democrat to come to that conclusion...neutral politics are not your style at all....maybe too much talk show radio ...shut off the Alex Jones feed

    When did we say that Clinton was the rightful winner? Clinton conceded early.

    T*ump was impeached twice. Both times it went beyond that the Republicans never saw evidence or witnesses. Hmm.. what would we call that? Ah yes, subverting democracy.

    We never did an audit for votes that I can remember. We just went where the facts lead us. Which is way more than we can say for the tin foil nonsense this last 8 months has brought.

    It is funny to try to reason with people who have no reasoning in their posts.

    I just love knowing that I'm in the right and it's funny watching all of those who are wrong. They'll wake up eventually. Hopefully.

    It's actually rather sad....Trump and all his followers who glorify him and hold him up as some hero who was "merely trying to take down the corrupt government" when in reality he is a con man (and a terrible one at that) and just as corrupt if not more than the rest of them.

    I feel sad for all the people that have actually been hoodwinked by him. It's disturbing really the level it has gotten to and continues to rise to. Trump is milking these suckers for all they got, leading them on, and they can't even see it. They are so gullible.

    The leftist media (and the left in general) is giving Trump WAY more attention than he warrants. They are giving him more attention than any other group…still. They can’t handle the shitty ratings and boredom they are experiencing without TrumpTV broadcasting 24/7.

    And the media to the right is echoing his lies and going along with his bullshit.

    Regardless of the media takes, he is who he is. A corrupt conman who is swindling Republicans out of their money and they have fallen hook line and sinker.

    The so called Russia conspiracies were not debunked. I invited you earlier to read the Mueller report. If you don't want to read Mueller's report then just look up a synopsis on the web.
    "Investigators ultimately had an incomplete picture of what happened due to communications that were encrypted, deleted, or not saved and due to testimony that was false, incomplete, or declined. However, the report states that Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election was illegal and occurred "in sweeping and systematic fashion" but was welcomed by the Trump campaign as it expected to benefit from such efforts. It also identifies links between Trump campaign officials and individuals with ties to the Russian government, about which several persons connected to the campaign made false statements and obstructed investigations. Mueller later stated that his investigation's conclusion on Russian interference "deserves the attention of every American"."

    "Volume II of the report addresses obstruction of justice. The investigation intentionally took an approach that could not result in a judgment that Trump committed a crime. This decision was based on an Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinion that a sitting president is immune from criminal prosecution, and Mueller's belief that it would be unfair to accuse the president of a crime even without charging him because he would have no opportunity to clear his name in court; furthermore it would undermine Trump's ability to govern and preempt impeachment. As such, the investigation "does not conclude that the President committed a crime"; however, "it also does not exonerate him", with investigators not confident of Trump's innocence. The report describes ten episodes where Trump may have obstructed justice while president and one before he was elected, noting that he privately tried to "control the investigation". The report further states that Congress can decide whether Trump obstructed justice and take action accordingly, referencing impeachment."

    Something is rotten in the Trump White House

    So, basically Trump is having his supporters pay for his lawsuits, birthday, and everyday living expenses. Sad.


    https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-jr-mocked-trying-151037704.html


    Donald Trump Jr. was mocked after he asked followers to donate money to support his father's class-action lawsuits against Facebook, Twitter, and Google.

    Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he was suing the three tech companies and their CEOs - Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and Sundar Pichai - accusing them of censoring users.

    In a Telegram post late Thursday, the younger Trump said: "Guys my dad is suing big tech!!! I'd you can click link to donate to his PAC to help out!!!"

    Several of the comments, which Insider has seen, criticized the fundraising call considering the Trump family's considerable wealth.

    "Is this a joke? Don't the Trump's have billions of $$$$?" one user said.


    Forbes has estimated the elder Trump's net worth to be $2.4 billion.

    "F---ing GRIFTER," another user wrote. "You should be ashamed. Wake up people. They are one of the richest families in the country and they need your hard earned dollars to do what he should have done for free."

    Many Trump supporters also responded to the post by suggesting that the former president should have restrained tech companies while in office - which he repeatedly threatened to do.

    Donald Trump Jr.'s message linked to a webpage
    asking users to donate to the Save America Joint Fundraising Committee, the fundraising arm of two Trump political action committees. The page said that 90% of the proceeds would go to the Save America PAC and 10% would go to the Make America Great Again PAC.

    Donors are given the option to give amounts ranging from $50 to $5,000, or a custom figure.

    This is not the first time the Trump family has solicited donations from supporters.

    After losing the 2020 election, Donald Trump asked for donations to fund his efforts to overturn the results. Last month, supporters were asked for "surprise" donations for the former president's birthday.

    The Save America PAC has raised more than $31 million since its inception in November, according to OpenSecrets.com. As Insider has reported, there are not many restrictions on how PAC donations can be spent, and the raised funds could be used to finance the president's day-to-day life or even a future run for office.

    Trump's lawsuits against the tech companies, filed in the Southern District of Florida, came after Twitter and Facebook suspended him from their platforms after the Capitol riot.

    Experts told Insider in January that it was within the companies' legal power to remove Trump from their platforms since "the First Amendment is a constraint on the power of government," not on the private sector.

    He will grab the money and drop the case. Because attorneys for the companies have legal right to depose him, under oath. Ask him about false election claims, his responsibility for January 6 insurrection, Covid lies.
