That's what all this mess is about, Lindsey, you feckless putz. We decided his fate at the ballot box and he didn't like the decision so he tried to reverse it. WTF else are we supposed to do about people who don't like how their fate is decided at the ballot box?

We made the decision and this ass with the trump cult thought it was not our choice, did not go their way.
30 unindicted co-conspirators.
If this document is giving the names of the Juror's and risking their lives, as per legal ladies on MSNBC last night, why the hell can we not see all 30 of these. Lindsay will be in the list with many other “Law Makers”.
Expose every one before elections. Let us decide that outcome as well.

keeps telling us is "His Freedom-of-Speech" and it's "His 1st. Amendment Right" to lie to the American people. Whenever someone says, "those on the left just don't understand DJT" That's what they mean, it's either, "tfg's sense of humor" (none),

OR "we just don't get it" THING IS, WE DO GET IT, ALL TOO WELL! ESPECIALLY: BEARING FALSE WITNESS! Which I guess to them must be some kind of big joke.

I can commit any crime I want and as long as I run for president, or I was president, I have nothing to worry about. When you get to a certain level of government, the voters get to decide on punishing you and not the legal system, even if I did the crime. Makes perfect sense to me.

the Constitution have the final say on this, regarding Impeachment to remove a president?

Also, funny that LG says that the American people should decide in prosecuting the president. Isn't that why we elected representatives to the Congress to do just this (and you in Congress, some of you failed to do your duty). And...our Justice departments in the states or in the DOJ are doing their duty (that you failed to do in Congress) to charge and find guilty this ex-president from his high crimes against the US.

We didn't open Pandora's box. Y'all did, you Republican morons, when you ran him in 2016 and cheated and lied for him every day afterwards. A million Americans are dead because of slimy, dispicable invertebrates like you.The people decided in 2020 and you personally conspired to overturn that choice with your own "perfect phone calls" to Georgia, you snivelling, shameless, traitorous coward. Why haven't you been indicted? You were in the conspiracy up to your pitiful spineless neck. Maybe you're in the list of 30 unindicted co-conspirators. If that's the case, I hope you get promoted to the A list, you sorry excuse for a sentient being.

Tue Aug 15, 2023, 06:59 PM

The Republican Talking Heads (RTH) in politics have a way of morphing historical and current reality into whatever they want, whatever suits them at the time.

The Great Unwashed Republican Voters (GURV) absorb it all, digest it all, without hesitation, without criticism, without a need for cross referencing for consistency.

RTH and GURV: That's two groups America doesn't need. In fact, would do better without.

They need to be stopped, before AHBL (All Hell Breaks Loose)!

Trump plots revenge if he gets the chance . . . think his last Presidency was disruptive? You ain't seen nothing yet!

Pre-Dobbs: We need to let the States decide.

Post-Dobbs: We need a Federal ban on all abortions.

Yeah consistency...that's the key. Like the man said, sincerity is the key to success. If you can fake that, you've got it made!
