Political opinions are like dead fish…
You have to use them while they’re fresh because they quickly start to smell bad, and they then can make you ill.
He never should’ve won in the first place. He lost the popular vote. FBI Director Comey and the Russians gave him boosts over the finish line that he didn’t deserve. And after he got away with stealing the election, he went on a crime spree that went completely unchallenged by his own party. In fact, as the party totally in power, they supported some of the very worst offenses he committed against the average people of the United States. He took away environmental regulations to hurry along the killing of our atmosphere, and eventually the biosphere of the whole planet. He struck damage into renewable energy initiatives, pulled out of the Climate Accords, and championed polluting coal over anything sensible in the name of bringing back coal industry jobs, which he promptly failed to bring back.
He undercut farmers by taking away Chinese markets with tariffs, thereby contributing to hunger in China, bankruptcy for family farms, and a boom in China sales by Brazilian farmers.
He then screwed over DACA recipients who are basically raised to be Americans, kidnapped children from asylum seekers at the Southern border, and spewed hate-and-fear rhetoric all over the American media mindset.
He has subverted the basic values of not only the Republican Party, but the whole of the United States as well.
So, we used our voting power. And a record number of votes were cast to bring him his karmic reward.
But my question now is simple. Are we really gonna let him run again in 2024? He committed high crimes and misdemeanors. Shouldn’t we lock him up rather then let him continue to steal money from Republican donors, throw anti-election tantrums, and produce the touring company of the Rudy Giuliani Clown Show?
Any other worker fired for total incompetence would immediately be shown the door and the replacement would immediately get the chance to start fixing the damage his incompetence caused.
Can’t we do that now? Why does this cat get to poop in the government sandbox for another month and a half? Do we really have a shortage of turds in Washington? Flush him already!!! If he were anything but a Republican, he would’ve been down the toilet hole after his first year.
They say you don’t get the government you vote for; you get the government you deserve. But what did I ever do wrong to deserve this?
Mickey, one of my favorite quotes about the well-documented untruthfulness of the outgoing president comes from Thomas Wells, an attorney who worked for Trump. He wrote after Trump announced his candidacy, “Donald Trump lies everyday, even about things of no consequence.” Not to be outdone, another attorney, Michael Cohen said under oath to Congress, “Donald Trump is a racist, he is a con-artist and he is a cheat.” And, yet a third attorney said to Bob Woodward for his book “Fear” based on 750 hours of interviews with White House staff, his biggest concern about Trump was he is a “f**king liar.”
So, as we see Trump winning only one of 40 court cases on voter fraud, we need to remind ourselves of the above quotes and remember what he is doing now is predicted and predictable. Keith
I still think he is more qualified for a thirty=year prison term than for the 2024 campaign.
Mickey, on the pendulum between those two points, no question he is closer to the prison term side. Keith
