Those who are blindly loyal to Trump and can’t logically defend him resort to this TDS nonsense.
Apples and oranges - - and false equivalences - - of course. I think that, on some level, you probably recognize that but, then again, that's all you've ever got.
Covid polices would be an example. It led to very high inflation and I get the joy of working more. The reality is larger government leads to increase costs and lower growth overall. Middle class people get it stuck to them the hardest. I wish I was wealthy enough to where it has little effect on my time, but that’s not the case.
But it’s like cheating on your spouse. It’s bad and dishonest, but it’s not illegal. Trump commits illegalities.
NB: Technically speaking, cheating on your spouse is illegal in fifteen states.
No, that’s not what she meant. And you just prove her point, time and time again.
Not vs the government, powerless vs society in general.
This excellent piece may be behind a paywall, so here are two key paragraphs:
"At the same time, however, a successful federal trial would strip Trump’s defenders of key talking points — that his voter fraud and vote manipulation claims have never been fully tested, that the House Jan. 6 committee was nothing but a one-sided show trial and that a proper cross-examination would expose the weakness of the government’s claims. Trump will have his opportunity to challenge the government’s case. His lawyers will have the ability to cross-examine opposing witnesses. We will see his best defense, and a jury will decide whether the prosecution prevails."
"Millions of Americans believe today that Joe Biden stole the presidency. They believe a series of demonstrable, provable lies, and their belief in those lies is shaking their faith in our republic and, by extension, risking the very existence of our democracy. There is no sure way to shake their convictions, especially if they are convinced that Trump is the innocent victim of a dark and malign deep state. But the judicial system can expose his claims to exacting scrutiny, and that scrutiny has the potential to change those minds that are open to the truth."

The special counsel Jack Smith’s case against Donald Trump on charges related to the 2020 election will not be easy. But it is necessary.www.nytimes.com
Yes it was. She is a despicable human being. You can't see it because you guys are too far left.
You are a Trumper. You have zero business calling anyone else a despicable human being.
Oh I do. Lots of stupid people in this world. Fortunately, enough wised up in 2020z
You hit on it.
But see. here's the difference, and you actually alluded to it in the first half of your first sentence above. None of the misconduct outlined in Tuesday's indictment is "little." It's huge. It's unprecedented. It's something that's never been seen before in the United States, but rather is typical of strongman regimes in (to use Trump's phrase) shithole countries. Trump corruptly and illegally tried to remain in office after losing an election. Sorry, dude, that's a bridge way too far. Guy needs to be prosecuted and the message needs to get out to anyone else who might contemplate a repeat performance that they won't get away with it.
There are uniformed people here, but many more who are uninformed.
To them though, Crossfire Hurricane (for example) is an instance of them being disenfranchised. That is what I mean. The acceptance of all of the little transgressions erodes the argument for the bigger. After the election Time Magazine ran an article bragging about how the election was "rigged". That was all on the up and up because political parties are allowed to collude with business to put their thumbs on the scale. It is legal corruption.
Nope. Again, you are excuse making. I am not going to get into all the comparisons but corruption that drives money to the leader is also authoritarian. As is fake investigations to bring disrepute onto political opponents.
Nobody has to look particularly hard at Trump to find misconduct. Much/most of what he does is in broad daylight. That's part of the reason he's gotten away with his shit for as long as he has. "How can this be criminal if he's doing it right in front of us?"
Agree to disagree on some of this. I don't view Biden supporters as any different from the die hard Trump. Any discussion of his (extremely likely) wrongdoing ends up looking like your post. "But Trump" and "If he is guilty he should be punished" which is always followed by, "Well you gotta investigate the MFer to get to that point."
Here's the thing. This country may be broken, as many on here always proclaim, and it is almost certain that our political system is. But broken things can be put back together, and in some cases, like a fractured bone, be made stronger.
Not going to argue all that anymore but you replaced the bull with a cat that is spazzing out and still breaking dishes. If the goal is to stop the dishes from being broken, the psycho cat has got to go as well.
Not going to argue your extended metaphor, but I'd really rather be dealing with a cat than a bull...and I know that's your whole point in your posts about why people are pissed and still support him.
You need to worry about your team, Coach. They just treated you like the new guy on the cellblock, and didn't even give your the courtesy of waiting until you were in the shower.
All that being said, I pretty much expect Cat vs Bull part deux next year.
They can’t be controlled. Almost impossible to coach. Also why venue matters so much. In fla decent chance there’s one DANC, Joe, Dbm, Ty, mas, and on and on. Dc not so much
Biden has been in politics for over 40 years and has never been accused of corruption. Look at what Lindsey Graham, among other people have said about him. Until the last few years. Trump’s entire life and business have been filled with corruption and lawsuits. If you were paying attention, you knew who he was before he got into office. Comparing Trump to anyone else who has ever been in office is a poor analogy, What he has done is unprecedented and it needs to be treated accordingly. If they can prove Biden has done some of the things they have been trying to accuse him of then fine, impeach himl But don’t try to compare it with trying to overturn an election. Not even close. And don’t try to compare Biden supporters with Trump supporters, Again, not close. Every single person here says if they can prove Biden has broken the law he needs to go. It’s not a cult. We don’t wear hats, fly flags, and worship our cult leader.
