It's starting to look like Merrick Garland wanted Trump dead when he ordered the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago for those classified docs back in August of 2022.
It’s hard not to feel like most of his fanboys knew nothing about him before he ran for president. He’s a lifelong conman and proud of it. Did no one read his book? I did in the 90s and could tell this dude is the Steven Seagal of business.
Why defend this guy? There are plenty of conservative politicians who aren’t total pieces of shit with awful track records. It’s surreal that you elected a reality TV star to the highest office in the country and now you want to do it again.
Did he ever get convicted? He cheated and won doing it. Thats how its played. Hell, Biden cheated and won the election. Dont hate the player, hate the game.
Well one has an ongoing court case, and the other doesn’t. The one that doesn’t has also had his “stolen” victory proven in multiple court cases for years now by everyone who has filed a suit about it.
Sounds like you just plain hate, or you’re a troll, or you are being lied to, or you just genuinely don’t know what’s been going on for the past few years.
Not to say that #Trump is 100% innocent BTW, if #JoeBiden should be prosecuted for illegally having classified documents, so should #Trump. It goes both ways.
First off, what’s up with all the hashtags? Your comment looks ridiculous and it’s harder to read with links every other word.
Second, MSM would not be villainizing other candidates to this degree because Trump IS a villain. He’s the poster child for scummy businessmen…a caricature, really. I would not be saying the same things because I’ve been well aware of what a selfish asshole Trump is for 20 years…and he’s only gotten worse. Did you even read Art of the Deal? He’s an embarrassment to the country beyond his status as a disgraced politician.
You’re also forgetting that Biden handed those documents over willingly and without delay whereas Trump claimed he didn’t have them and then, when pressured, admitted he did have them but claimed he was allowed to. This isn’t even getting into the likelyhood that he was selling said documents to foreign actors. Now there’s mounting evidence that he tried to cover it all up. That’s your man? That’s who you think should run the country?
Dude hashtags things because it gets copied to their mastodon and elevates their comments while failing to provide context for anyone following them on that platform.
Basically it’s an attempt to spread their mastodon posts, but only their side of the conversation so they look smart.
> MSM would not be villainizing other candidates to this degree because Trump IS a villain.
You’re just parroting #MSM talking points here, not proving that I’m wrong.
> He’s the poster child for scummy businessmen…a caricature, really. I would not be saying the same things because I’ve been well aware of what a selfish asshole Trump is for 20 years…and he’s only gotten worse.
Then why was he so well liked while he was a businessman? Nobody hated him until the #MSM criticized him.
I’m not parroting shit. Like I said, I’ve been following Trump’s shady dealings for 20 years. Clearly you haven’t.
He’s well-liked among two groups: the ultrarich because he makes them money with his schemes and the wannabe rich because they are willing to do anything to get ahead. He was never well-liked by other groups.

That’s been the case ever since Milo’s “Feminism is Cancer” tour.
Milo is one seriously vile man but his tour was brilliant and served as one of the main catalysts for blowing up the campus narrative about the left being tolerant and peaceful. Everyone else followed his lead. Shapiro, Kirk, Owens…All road Milo’s coattails to fame. But really, it was all Steve Bannon. He produced that whole tour. Pure brilliance.
My dad grew up in one of trumps dad’s buildings and both of them were scummy businessmen and terrible landlords, Trump sr was convicted of trying to keep black renters out of my dad’s building.
I know a lawyer and a metal fabricator who did work for him and he stiffed them both. The metal fabricator added what he called a “trump fee” for every job after that because trump would never pay the last bill, so he just increased the price of the previous ones.
The “mainstream media” may be bad at a lot of things, but they’re not pulling things out of the air here. Trump is a bad person, and there’s a mountain of evidence to support that if you want to look
> You’re also forgetting that Biden handed those documents over willingly and without delay whereas Trump claimed he didn’t have them and then, when pressured, admitted he did have them but claimed he was allowed to.
So? The law doesn’t care; the criminal activity is having the documents, not refusing to return them or lying about having them.
If you think that Trump is on trial just because he had the documents at all, you clearly are following the case about as much as Trump’s business history…as in… not paying attention at all.
“Frame Trunp” lol

Well except Seagal does know Aikido.
Trump technically knows how to “make” money
He turned a 1 million dollar loan into a 100 mllion. Thats making money.
Yep. In part by:
Trump knows how to make money, nobody ever said the processes to do so should be acceptable or commendable.
Did he ever get convicted? He cheated and won doing it. Thats how its played. Hell, Biden cheated and won the election. Dont hate the player, hate the game.
The case is ongoing. He didn’t “win”.
Well one has an ongoing court case, and the other doesn’t. The one that doesn’t has also had his “stolen” victory proven in multiple court cases for years now by everyone who has filed a suit about it.

Which one is it?
@glimse @BearOfaTime Let’s not pretend that the #MSM would villainize any conservative republican who won the #GOP nomination. If #MarcoRubio, #RandPaul, #BenCarson, heck anyone other than #JohnKasich or #JebBush would have won, you’d be saying the exact same thing today about that person.
Not to say that #Trump is 100% innocent BTW, if #JoeBiden should be prosecuted for illegally having classified documents, so should #Trump. It goes both ways.

Do you have a source for this?
A source for what exactly? Public opinion?
You don’t have to @ me every time.
@glimse Yes. If it was public, you should be able to find, say three instances of that opinion being espoused.
Unless it was like a super secret public opinion that nobody said out loud?

As far as I can tell, Trump is popular among a range of social classes but also captured the college-educated conservative vote.
That’s been the case ever since Milo’s “Feminism is Cancer” tour.

Also, Milo’s probably an intel asset.
@amerika @glimse @realcaseyrollins
@truthbait @glimse @realcaseyrollins
Milo is hysterical but he did write one of my favorite editorials:
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2015/04/20/tax-the-poor-the-moral-and-economic-case-for-regressive-taxation/
@amerika @glimse I would have loved to see him try to find one source corroborating his claim lol
@realcaseyrollins @glimse
I socialize with a lot of Leftists. At this point, Right and Left exist in different worlds.
Choice of media, choice of story of the day (the thing everyone talks about), vocabulary… it’s all different.
So there are things that are not strictly “true” which are taken as fact because they are needed to keep up these political tribal identities.
It’s odd and unnerving but I think only when the two sides are BOTH extremist do we get actual options.

…I don’t? He’s on trial for many things.
@realcaseyrollins @glimse
In fact, it has been non-stop legal cases without anything in common between them except being a presidential candidate.
@glimse
> That’s your man?
No, I’ve been criticizing #Trump during the entire #GOP presidential nomination process
> That’s who you think should run the country?
Not really, but he’s way better than #JoeBiden
Im fine with letting them both burn. Maybe wed get a functional president next.
