You're spewing bullshit again.

Turn the Faux off.
Never used them for what I posted.

This is a dodge attempt.
 
When the left is low on facts, it resorts to feelings.

Sorry, show me where the Dems treated deplorables badly.

BTW, libs have never held power

Nope, it's the facts. But keep spamming your meltdowns over "Faux" if you can't do anything better. 🍿

I have no idea what you're talking about. Did I say Dems treated anyone badly in this thread? I just thought it was funny when leftists melt down over a misrepresentation of what Trump said while their own flagship candidate disparaged broad swathes of Americans with a gigantic brush.

No, it's not. To say it is, is a lie.

More nonsensical orange ball-juggling bullshit.

I am a life long Republican.

One you know nothing about. Someone of reason.
 
What the DOJ did was BLATANTLY criminal. It should be condemned.

Not condemning supports it. Supporting criminal behavior is unacceptable.

I am sorry for your loss.

You either support law and order or you support criminal corruption.
OK. I condemn their indifferent concern toward Garcia.
So what should we do now? Campaign to make Trump and the DOJ shout out choruses of "MEA CULPA, MEA CULPA, MEA CULPA"?
Would that make you feel better? Maybe throw the AG in jail down in El Salvador?

No.

You should hold them accountable by not voting for them. You should be calling your congressman and demanding that he start impeachment proceedings against Trump.

Have the courage to hold those who are criminally corrupt responsible for their actions.

Be well.

For the record, I am not that prison in El Salvado takes female prisoners. I strongly believe Bondi is completely corrupt and should be disbarred and sent to prison for at least 10 years without early release.
 
The thing about this thread and the question and the somewhat silly rhetorical poll...

Trump always makes these ridiculously polarizing statements. He hates you, then he loves you, then you're the worst person ever, and then you're a loser, and then you're a little Marco, and then you're one of the most important people in government. He doesn't have a problem saying things in the extreme. In fact, I would suggest this is a device he uses to influence and control people. And it honestly amazes me how successful he is at it, even still.

And what he said in this quote was he hated the Democratic Congress people that were giving him friction.

He will say that he loves them if they do something that appeals to him just as fast.

And to be honest with you, this part of Trump's nature makes me uncomfortable. It makes everyone uncomfortable. And I think that's part of how he derives power from it. I also believe this is one of the factors that is polarizing the political sphere in our society so much, which I think is one of the worst negatives about him.

But you do something like this too, @Absentglare.

Trump was absolutely clearly talking about Congress people.

And you made it about everyone on the left, everyone that didn't vote for him, all Democrats. And I made a little snarky comment and you came back saying you need to look up representation.

As if those people representing you means that his blurty ire expressed in that moment was directed at you, and it wasn't.

And he'll probably change his mind about it again within a couple of weeks. That's how he works.

And I know you don't like him, you despise him. I don't really like him a whole lot either in a lot of ways.

But it's impossible for me to answer your poll. I want to say yes, just to be a jackass. It's kind of silly, isn't it? Everyone knows it's not good for a leader to hate his people.

But the whole thing is a red herring in the first place.

Wow. You're just like Trump with his penchant for vengeance.
You want to jail Pam Bondi and impeach Trump.
You could be one of the Squad. You and Adam Schiff could be bosom buddies and spend time together telling each other how much you hate Trump.
Wait for the next expected 1/6th series of hearings. You would have plenty to contribute to that kangaroo court.
 
I'll stick with the leader we have because there is no other leader capable of defending America and its allies.
Donalds a traitor, as are all his sycophants.

No, I want justice.

Bondi is criminally corrupt. She belongs in a cell.

Trump is a convicted felon. He has broken every law ever written. He rapes 13 year-old girls. He should never have been allowed in office.

Defending corrupt people is a bad idea. You need to stop.

Bondi is guilty of public corruption. She is has authorized the violation of the civil rights of many individuals.

Defending her is grossly inappropriate. It's just down right shameful.

It was legit. Spare me your babbling MAGA bullshit.

You’re just plain blind to truth. Like a termite in a yo-yo 🪀.

No, you are just in support of racism and corruption.

No amount of trolling from you will change the truth.
 
The last leader to do that was Hitler who destroyed most of his country and then blew his brains out.
That was a good thing for him to do after showing that he hated his own people.

Mao, Stalin, and Putin are others who did not give a shit about their own people.

Yep, and don't forget Pol Pot, Idi Amin Dada, Kim IL Sung (followed by his son and grandson) to name a few more.
 
I lost a good friend, a Liberal, who disowned me because I would not go along with his condemnation of our justice department.
Some people think nothing of condemning others because they do not adhere to another's political ideology. That's what we've come to.
There is a time to stand up for right and wrong. You MAGAs are on the wrong side of history.

How about the side of history where:
  • A DEI-hire VP was defeated in a resounding Electoral College victory.
  • Illegal immigration was reduced to a trickle of illegal migrant at the border.
  • Military recruitment resumed after Harris lost the election in 2024.
  • A sane fossil fuel energy policy was restored to America
  • DEI programs were abandoned in schools, government, and businesses
  • A new president finally did something to halt Iran's nuclear program
  • Democrats do not control any of the three branches of government.
That's the side of history for this country I want to be on.

You got a better side that doesn't involve wishful thinking and hatred for the duly elected president of this country?

Very well said. Common sense still works best.
