Jim Jordan claims trump "has never been about retribution"

[scruffy]

Some, actually a few, are devoted repubs that will never support a Dem. They go along with maga cause they "own the Dems." But they do not consider the long term damage that trump and the maga cult are going to inflict on this country.

Leftards live in a delusional fantasy.

Did Trump lock Hillary up? No.

Did he bring federal charges against the BLM rioters? No.

Leftards are whining sniveling little fraidy cats.

 

[JimH52]

Yeah, that's one of the ironies of this whole disaster.

As it turns out, they've wanted a strongman-type to "rule" them all along. Their adoration of Reagan should have been a clue.

He makes them "feel" strong, and he has them so conned that they don't see how hypersensitive and terribly needy he is.

I think they inject into him many things that they want, because he hates the people they hate.

And trump thinks his supporters are stupid. He lies and they believe him...then he laughs behind their back.

And trump thinks his supporters are stupid. He lies and they believe him...then he laughs behind their back.

To steal a line from another poster, Trump took one look at the talk radio crowd and said, "THIS is gonna be EASY".

I sense butthurt.

Has Jordan been on Mars for the past four years? trump has promised over and over that he is going to get even with those that held him accountable for his many, many, many crimes. All you have to do is listen to his rally or watch FOX news and the message is clear. Look at his nominee for FBI director. This is a man who has promised to go after anyone that even did not agree with the "Big Lie. Jordan is just playing stupid, I assume?

Trump's Statements on Retribution

What He Said:
Donald Trump has made various statements regarding retribution, particularly in the context of his political adversaries and critics. He has expressed a desire to "get even" with those he believes have mistreated him, but he also stated, "I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly". This duality reflects his complex approach to the concept of retribution, where he acknowledges feelings of vengeance while also claiming to seek forgiveness and second chances.

When and Where:
One notable instance occurred during an interview with Fox News Digital, where he emphasized his stance against seeking retribution. This interview was reported on December 5, 2024. Additionally, Trump has made references to retribution in various speeches and rallies, particularly as he campaigns for re-election, suggesting that his approach to politics includes a promise of vengeance against perceived enemies.

How and Why: Trump's rhetoric around retribution often serves to energize his base, framing his political narrative as a fight against those who he claims have wronged him. He has a "lengthy inventory of people he’s pledged to punish," which includes political figures and officials who have opposed him. This approach is part of a broader strategy to galvanize support by portraying himself as a champion of those who feel marginalized or wronged by the political establishment.

In summary, Trump's comments on retribution reflect a blend of personal grievance and political strategy, aimed at rallying his supporters while navigating the complexities of his public persona.

==> The U.S. president's stance on retribution can vary based on the context, political climate, and specific issues at hand. Some presidents may support retribution as a means of ensuring justice or deterrence, particularly in foreign policy or criminal justice. Others may focus on reconciliation and restorative justice, emphasizing healing over punishment to foster unity and avoid further conflict. Ultimately, the position on retribution is influenced by personal beliefs, party ideology, and the situation's complexity.

Is that why he is nominating Kash Patel for FBI Director?

Patel is voiced his undying allegiance to the Great Leader. If he becomes FBI director, he will go after anyone that trump sees as disloyal or a threat. YOU CAN BET THE FARM ON THAT!

 

[Clipper]

So prove Jim Jordan wrong, if you can.

How about the fact that Gymmy is one of the most loathsome craven liars in Congress?

 

[Clipper]

I really think academic political case studies will be written about the maga movement and, maybe in a decade or so, there will be documentaries and movies about the years when the US tittered on the edge of an Aurocracy. I doubt I will see it. But I think it will happen.....no I hope it will happen.

Cause electing a convicted felon (34) and known liar and sexual deviant it NOT what America needs to be. I pray that voters will wake up and see who and what they voted for, before it is too late to go back.

It's already too late. That was shown on J6 & with the SCOTUS immunity ruling. Trump picking screwballs like JFK JR., Hegseth, Gabbard & joining forces with wealthy entitled hacks like Musk & Vivek is only the beginning.

It's over & it's too late to do anything about it. In 6 weeks the Country will be in the hands of a madman & his henchmen.

There is no level trump won't stoop to.

Pete Hegseth takes action against Trump foe Mark Milley

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has decided to remove retired Gen. Mark A. Milley’s security detail, suspend his security clearance, and order an inspector general inquiry into his behavior as the Pentagon’s top officer, senior defense officials said Tuesday, taking extraordinary action against a frequent target of President Donald Trump.

The move comes after years of Trump criticizing Milley for perceived disloyalty and Milley acknowledging in congressional testimony that he had served as a source for several unflattering books about the first Trump administration. Milley, 66, retired in 2023 after four tumultuous years as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under both Trump and President Joe Biden.

I suppose the Inspector General doing the investigation will be one of the cult members that trump appoints? trump has turned the US Government into a Crime Syndicate. I expect his next move will be to suspend his pension?

FELONS WILL BE FELONS
