The phone call transcript was massively damning. Hard core 45 fans famously are willfully blind to such things. They are a minority. About 35 percent.

And that 35% is shrinking with alarming speed (alarming, at least, to Trump supporters).

"The photo of Pelosi in the OP says it all. Unhinged and beyond desperate."

Really??

 

It's called classic deflection. Certainly, it's not a flattering photo of Madam Speaker, but when you have no facts to use, you deflect, ignore, lie, deny or obfuscate. Those are the five tactics every person uses who can't reply with facts. I'll let YOU work out the acronym.

Biden and the Democrats are <deleted> scared of what Giuliani is uncovering! 

Go, Rudy! ???? 

 

MAGA

Trump's own advisers told him months ago this Biden story was debunked, but we know how much Trump pays attention to THEM.

I have no axe to ground, but my reading of the story is through Bidens influence his son ended up with a 30 million dollar contract, so which is the truth?

Of COURSE Biden's son got the position for having that particular last name. The point is, it wasn't illegal, and it recently came out that Trump's advisers told him months ago there was no story here. Trump just bulled his way ahead as he always does and committed treason by using the weight of his office to strong arm a desperate country to do his bidding or they wouldn't get their hundreds of million$ in military aid.

Earlier someone wrote "These people never stop." This post is relative to the topic as it shows a history of the buildup of how we got here, and why we should NEVER stop until this blight on the American political scene is removed. If people respond as trolls, that's not my problem:

 

That when you saw a man ridicule an American war hero, you said "Meh."

 

That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine."

 

That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay."

 

That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem."

 

That when he made up stories about seeing Muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an issue."

 

That when you saw him brag that he could shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and you wouldn't care, you chirped, "He sure knows me."

 

That when you heard him illustrate his own character by telling that cute story about the elderly guest bleeding on the floor at his country club, the story about how he turned his back and how it was all an imposition on him, you said, "That's cool!"

 

That when you saw him mock the disabled, you thought it was the funniest thing you ever saw.

 

That when you heard him brag that he doesn't read books, you said, "Well, who has time?"

 

That when the Central Park Five were compensated as innocent men convicted of a crime they didn't commit, and he angrily said that they should still be in prison, you said, "That makes sense."

 

That when you heard him tell his supporters to beat up protesters and that he would hire attorneys, you thought, "Yes!"

 

That when you heard him tell one rally to confiscate a man's coat before throwing him out into the freezing cold, you said, "What a great guy!"

 

That you have watched the parade of neo-Nazis and white supremacists with whom he curries favor, while refusing to condemn outright Nazis, and you have said, "Thumbs up!"

 

That you hear him unable to talk to foreign dignitaries without insulting their countries and demanding that they praise his electoral win, you said, "That's the way I want my President to be."

 

That you have watched him remove expertise from all layers of government in favor of people who make money off of eliminating protections in the industries they're supposed to be regulating and you have said, "What a genius!"

 

That you have heard him continue to profit from his businesses, in part by leveraging his position as President, to the point of overcharging the Secret Service for space in the properties he owns, and you have said, "That's smart!"

 

That you have heard him say that it was difficult to help Puerto Rico because it was the middle of water and you have said, "That makes sense."

 

That you have seen him start fights with every country from Canada to New Zealand while praising Russia and quote, "falling in love" with the dictator of North Korea, and you have said, "That's statesmanship!"

 

That Trump separated children from their families and put them in cages, managed to lose track of 1500 kids and actually releasing some to sexual predators, has opened a tent city incarceration camp in the desert in Texas - he explains that they’re just “animals” - and you say, “well, OK then.”

 

That when you saw a man use the power of his office to strong arm another desperate country for his own political gain, you used every possible deflection within your grasp to deny actual treason.

 

That you have witnessed all the thousand and one other manifestations of corruption and low moral character and outright animalistic rudeness and contempt for you, the working American voter, and you still show up grinning and wearing your MAGA hats and threatening to beat up anybody who says otherwise.

 

THIS is why we must never stop until this man is removed from office.

Why should he? Giuliani already nailed the coffin shut. Why throw good money after bad?

He was as big a crook as the rest of them. 

Yeah, but he at least tried to help those less fortunate. He actually started building all those single family unit apartments "one house for all Thais" or something like that. He initiated a national health care system. My former TG and her family all benefited. More than THIS regime has done.

So do we all.

Isn't ANYBODY ashamed of telling bold faced porkies any more?

Is it April 1st already?

Last week "OMG OMG THE CHINESE ARE LEAVING!"

This week "Yay, the Chinese are coming!"

Really? How do those TAT people sleep at night?

There are a million beaches around the world where you can't see the sand below so Jomtien is looking better

There is a beach in Puerto Galera, Philippines, whose water looks pristine to the eyes, but there is no water treatment plant. As a result, raw sewage seeps into the water. The local scuba instructors get horrible infections if they teach on that beach. Where exactly is the water treatment plant in Jomtien?
