That's not correct. I can only speak for myself but I accept that Trump is everything said about him, except the BS about him being a "threat to democracy" which is a hater made up nonsense, and I still want him to win and give the Dems a good kicking, as they deserve it, and Trump is the only one, IMO, that is able to do it.

This time next year, I hope to be cheering him on as he deals to the Dems from the big chair.

To paraphrase Bill Clinton, I guess it depends on what the meaning of 'threat to democracy' is'

 

Calling his goobers to DC for 6 January had absolutely no purpose except to try to stop the certification of the election, which means subvert democracy.

 

Holding the Mall rally and telling his goobers to 'fight like hell', march to the Capitol, and 'you'll never take your country back being weak' (all statements by trump in his Mall rally) had absolutely no purpose except to try to stop the certification of the election, which means subvert democracy

 

trump's participation in the fake elector scheme (as alleged by grand jury witnesses, in one of trump's many indictments)

had absolutely no purpose except to try to stop the certification of the election, which means subvert democracy

.

trump's recorded phone call to GA SecState Raffensperger, during which Raffensperger told trump the votes had been counted and recounted, and that trump lost, and during which trump told Raffensperger "just find me...11,780 votes" had absolutely no purpose except to try to stop the certification of the election, which means subvert democracy.

 

If you have any other plausible explanation, post it, but there is none. trump lost. He whined endlessly about being a loser, and still does. He made every effort possible to subvert US democracy.  Only the actions of Raffensperger, Pence, some FBI people who uncovered the fake elector scheme, and some election officials in States like AZ prevented the coup from succeeding.

 

trump's attempted coup exposed cracks in the system. Had the Dems not been in control of the House, the Speaker could have called for no certification, and then allowed an actual vote, 1 vote for each State based on the majority of their Reps, which at the time were Republican (i.e., more States had an R majority of Reps in the House, though the total number of Reps had the Dems with a majority). As bizarre as the Electoral College is in the modern world, there are worse remedies if there is a problem with the EC certification.

 

I would not count on the current clown who is Speaker to be fair when trump loses again this November.

  • It's ironic how when one retires his prior employment becomes so much more exciting than what reality really was. I'll bet you're a hero in all your afternoon naps.

  • As a former case officer, I know first hand what it takes to do the job and what sort of intelligence COs gain access to. One such thing is terrorist threats, most of which are rolled up and prevented

  • It is a weak person who makes a comment such as yours, as well as being made out of ignorance.   It says much about your own inadequacies and need to project. Your life is likely quite near

You really enjoy writing long boring thesis that say a lot of nothing.

BS. The left hasn't come up with something like "let's go Brandon ". Not to mention, in terms of class, Biden has Trump beat by a light year. Easy to hate Trump. More than 90 indictments and several convictions for fraud don't help.

No idea what "let's go Brandon" means so it can't be very insulting. I've never said that trump has class, whatever you mean by that, but I prefer him to Biden in every aspect. I can't think of a single thing that Biden has that makes him a suitable POTUS, and many that make him unsuitable. Trump wasn't suitable either, but he wasn't picked for being "suitable". He didn't get to bring the corrupt establishment down last time, but if he has another chance he might, so worth voting for, IMO.

You are so funny, really. I've often said I don't support Trump except that he's a less bad option that Biden ( or HRC ), so I'd vote for him on that basis. I said I'd vote for a rock over her.

I've even said ( I guess you missed it ) that I'd support Bernie over him ( shame that he got back stabbed by the swampy people ).

If the Dems put up a competent candidate that wasn't corrupt, and was able to unite the country, and had a decent foreign policy ( one that didn't involve giving lots and lots of bombs to kill children ), I'd be for them, boots and all.

 

It's a bit different now, given all the political shennanigans by the Dems and fellow travelers weaponising the ?justice? system to bring him down. I don't like crooks and bullies in the establishment, so I'd like to see Trump be able to take revenge on them by winning. So, I guess, in a way I am a Trump supporter, but not in the way you mean.

Just because you don’t agree with Fox means no one else can?  You dictate what’s real and what isn’t.  You’re a joke.

 

As long as Fox is an acceptable form of news on this forum I will continue to reference them whether you or Roo like it or not.

But that in itself  is a logical fallacy 

Toyou propose to cure the patient by killing him . Which is what would happen if trump became the norm. You will not get a better system, you will gat a different and infinitely worst system,

a system where when the term of a president is over he would not leave, he would simply try and find a way to subvert you ability as a citizen to vote him out.

I hope you see the dangers associated with that.

The democrats weaponizing the DOJ?

You seem to forget about the trump DOJ , first was  Jeff Sessions , do you remember him? 

Trump accused him of disloyalty because he resisted his attempts of weaponization of the department and he resigned . Loyalty to trump and not justice.

Sessions were replaced by acting AG Matthew G. Whitaker, He was acting AG for  months, when he would not play ball with trump, he was replaced by William Barr and we all remember how that went.

He also resigned. then we had Jeffrey Rosen as acting  acting AG , (a lot of acting LOL) and who can forget, the  Jeffrey Clark  debacle . Well you of course because you seem to have forgotten the rest of the soap opera "As the DJ turns !! a new episode every few months. :cheesy:
