It’s the lying stupid, always the lying. There’s no proof, there’s no indication, hint, or whiff of something wrong, other than people didn’t want the Orange Menace around for another 4 years.

I don’t understand why he wanted to be president again, he didn’t do anything productive the first 4 years.

He got talked about, and his picture in the papers, and on the internet, all the time.

“When one Oath Keeper not present in Washington suggested that Antifa was responsible, the group’s leader, Stewart Rhodes, replied: ‘Look, I WAS THERE. I WAS RIGHT OUSIDE. Patriots stormed in. Not Antifa’.”

I don’t think the word “patriot” means what he thinks it means.

Air Force 1 is nice. Oh, and enjoying the DOJ’s delightful “GOP Prez Immunity Cloak”

He did quite a lot for his big money supporters and those paper towels. Don’t forget his largesse.

They lie. If the truth doesn’t work for them, they lie. That’s one constant the Democrats shoukd never lose sight of and should aggressively be challenging every single time. Sure, it’s tiring, but it’s necessary. And Dems just keep politely dropping the ball awaiting a full signed confession of duplicity before suggesting with caution that perhaps they are not being truthful.

“We think they are Antifa. Dressed like Trump supporters.”

Many carried Trump flags, wore Trump hats, and even painted their faces white.

Stewart Rhodes, replied: “Look, I WAS THERE. I WAS RIGHT OUSIDE. Patriots stormed in. Not Antifa.”

So proud of what he did - it matters not that his braggadocio will land him in prison. TFG must be so proud.

Are you kidding? The law is after him bigly. No more hiding under the Resolute desk.

Just remember how incredibly maliciously the DJT administration handled masks protective gear states needed, bought on the open market, and then had to hide from the Feds or get it stolen from them. Remember?

That’s just one thing.

He and his family and their cronies made MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY thanks to this gig. We may never know how much they stole from the country. Plus, staying in office kept him insulated from criminal prosecution.

It’s never Chiselin’ Trump, himself, who’s responsible, is it? (sigh)
