She is busy frantically trying to undo what can't be undone and and making statements written by trump's lawyers desperately preparing for the upcoming sedition trial:

 

It almost sounds believable until we remember who this statement is trying to protect

 

Remarks by Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany

Another turncoat.  From lies, inciting violence and being an enabler to this, to now changing her tune.  She's complicit.  Horrible person.

I think it would be important to remove Trump from office, regardless of how little time he has left in office. He's a traitor and instigator of domestic terrorism and as such disqualified to serve even a day longer.

 

And he tells numerous continuous lies and twisted untruths all designed to build an image that ultimately supports him. He's evil, he should be in jail right now.

Trump should be on a suicide watch.

But then again, maybe not. Public interest, and all that.

Hope not. Given his psychopathology, he would try to take us all with him. And given his position, he could do it.

Quite satisfying to watch the fools who cheered this pathetic grift on slink back to their holes. Can anyone think of any pro-Trump poster who managed to maintain a shred of credibility after this?

Reminds me of a US lady who put a message on the Quora global webboard site (about 5 yrs ago), saying that she was about to go to China for a year with her husband. She asked what was the best way to transport 100 Kg lots of canned food to China.

Why canned food? Because friends had told her all westerners who go to China are poisoned and never seen again, so she wanted to take her own food, all sealed in cans. 

A quick reply assured her that th comment all westerners are poisoned /killed was totally wrong, and also mentioned that there's plenty of canned goods available in China manufactured in China and imported from Europe, US and many other countries.

She responded that canned food is not allowed in Italy, France - her friend told her this.

She then changed her comment to can openers. her friend told her that taking an electric can opener to China is a bad idea, because electricity is only available about 2 hrs per day and you have to have permission for every appliance, TV etc., to plug it in/use power. So she was asking if she took 10 hand operated with her would that be enough.

Further her friend had told her that hand operated must be licensed in China and importing even one was illegal, so should she ask her arrival hotel in Shanghai to arrange a license for her in advance?

3 months from now I think Trump will be  very much alone in whatever he does & says,

He will not be locked up as an Ex President as  the authorities will stop short of this 

but the courtcases could empty his bank accounts

THINK.  Trump might control 70,000,000 Americans, plus he has some serious connections abroad.  He has way, way, way, way more power than you think he has, president or not.  i'm not saying this is good....i'm just saying

 

Fine, his aides are gone......but I'm a little worried what might happen down the road.

 

probably nothing..........................................probably.  

A LHO event would do nicely.

Interesting that pence boot-licks his way for four years, and then, all of a sudden realizes something is wrong - the wolves he helped raises are at the gates -  and does his darn job for one day. Yes, heap on the accolades.

 

As another useless, one-term vp from Indiana, he should shuffle home and never be heard from again.

 

 

 

 

Totally agree with your post as I find him just as abhorrent as Trump in his own way.

 

A supposedly dedicated Christian who totally forgot all about Christianity/the Bible/the commandments etc to stand behind Trump and applaud him after he had spouted lie after lie. Not to mention trump's adultery, stealing from a charity and greed in depriving workers on his projects from their money.

 

You cannot get more two-faced than that, and he is not deserving of any praise whatsoever for purely doing just one small aspect of his job, and that was beyond his capability to change or refuse anyway.

 

A Trump no-brain associate par excellence, and a deplorable man to boot..

You seem to be confusing the 70 million people who voted for him with the number of people who blindly believe everything he says. Permit me to doubt that number is the same, 30 million at best.

It's a problem for the Republicans, how do they get rid of Trump without alienating his rusted-on supporters? Because dump him they must, or they will slide into irrelevance.

They have to grow a pair and think of the country rather than themselves. Good luck waiting for that to happen.

Which is why article 25 won't be invoked, Pence can not afford to alienate those 30 million.

Trump got the second highest vote ever even though he lost. He got more votes after being in power for four years. 
Why is he so popular with so many Americans? 

More importantly ...why are you trying to embellish a megalomaniac, mass murdering, seditionist ???

I was asking spidermike for his opinion as an American. Trump is good for a laugh but I don’t really care about American politics. 

I am no fan of Trump, mainly because he doesn’t pay his contractors for work completed and then offers them cents in the dollar but only if they sign a confidentiality clause. That was long before the people voted him as President.

OK but speaking about this #**#'s popularity in the 1st place was a bit off and now you say the only thing you dont like about him is that he rips off his contractors??? you still dont seem to get it IMO.

Nah, I was asking why, when he obviously is very flawed, is he so popular amongst American people. 
70 million+ voted for him.

 

i find that surprising.
 

Spidermikes answer about the nazis didn’t really make sense to me. 

 

I suspect he isn’t going anywhere and without the constraints of being president he will unleash, and with 70 million encouraging him.

I am not American, I believe in democracy, so if they want to vote for the bloke, that is up to the American people to decide. 
 

I was asking about why he is so popular, obviously you are not a fan, but 70 million are, many quite fanatically. 
 

Why do you believe that to be the case sir? Why is Trump so loved by so many Americans?

OK then my apologies ????  Also I would guess that at least 80% of that 70 million just left the room

Because the uneducated watch fox news and believe that the dems are satan. There are many uneducated in rural areas.

 

They would rather vote for a smashed avocado than a dem. Even if jesus christ himself turned up and ran as a dem they wouldnt vote for him, or her.

Sadly it has lowered my opinion of Americans.

My guess is that

A. they are utterly bombastic about their freedoms

B. as with most Right Wing voters they consider that Wealth is far more important than Health. This also explains why Covid has ravaged the US
