The essential utility of Trump's falsehoods.

[Auld Phart]

WTF are you talking about? I am voting for Biden. Period.

So your previous statement was wrong?

"Only the dumbest members of our society vote for Trump."

So your previous statement was wrong?

Are you on crack? What I said was true. Only the dumbest members of society vote for Trump.

 

[Auld Phart]

Only the dumbest members of society vote for Trump.

so you are voting for Trump?

Can't you make up your mind?

or are you claiming, against all evidence to the contrary, you aren't one of the dumbest members of society?

I told you who I was voting for. Go back and read it again if you forgot.

 

[Meathead]

I told you who I was voting for. Go back and read it again if you forgot.

Given your intellect and parameters for voting, you would obviously be a Trump voter.

 

[scruffy]

Regressives don't seem to respect magaturds. Therefore you must destroy them.

I guess that means they'll have to destroy you too.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Come get some.

 

[westwall]

Come get some.

We aren't threatening you, dumbass. It is your own side that you need to watch out for.

Clearly you have never read your history.

I don't have a 'side', I say the same to both tribes.

Note to mods, this text comes by way of an e-mail from the NYT so I don't have a link.

About halfway through Thursday night’s presidential debate, the moderators asked former President Donald Trump about Jan. 6.

Amid all the focus on President Biden’s unsteady performance, it might have been easy to miss Trump’s answer.

Trump seized the moment to turn the debate stage — with the biggest audience he’s enjoyed since his presidency — into the latest theater for his yearslong effort to rewrite the story of Jan. 6, 2021. And he twice ignored questions about whether he would accept the results of the next election before agreeing to do so only under certain conditions.

Over the course of several exchanges with Biden and the moderators, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, Trump downplayed the most damaging attack on the Capitol since the War of 1812, falsely blamed the security lapses that day on former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and defended the more than 1,000 people who have been charged with participating in the deadly violence.

If Repubs did not believe the lies about Nancy Pelosi, or they weren't convinced the 1/6 rioters are patriots rather than the traitors they are, it would be another disqualifier for Trump.

Over the course of several exchanges with Biden and the moderators, CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, Trump downplayed the most damaging attack on the Capitol since the War of 1812

More damaging than the 1983 bombing?
More damaging than the 1971 bombing?
More damaging than the 1954 shooting?

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Putting one on the payroll is corrupt. Do you jack offs think you can do anything?

One prosecutor hiring another is corrupt?

YES.

YES.

Most rational people disagree

I was going to write a post making a comparison between what we can expect from another Biden admin or Trump admin. Because it is top of mind for the country I was going to make the point an advantage to another Biden admin is we do not have to concern ourselves with him using the DoJ to go after who he perceives to be his enemies as Trump has promised to do........and did when he was prez.

Justice Department pressured former US attorney to bring cases against Trump enemies, Geoffrey Berman says
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/jus...n, who served 2,Secretary of State John Kerry.

Obviously, I know what the reflexive reply from The Following will be. They will allege, without credible evidence, the votes of four grand juries to indict Trump and his co-conspirators was a deep state plot hatched by Joe. It is, at its core, a ludicrous argument to make. But it serves two essential purposes. 1. Allows The Following to dismiss Don's criminal behavior as him being persecuted. 2. Removes, in their minds, a fundamental difference between what we can expect from the two admins.

From that perspective it's easy to see why Trump uses so many false accusations. It disarms the opposition while creating a deceitful construct for his base to believe in. Like claiming Joe, absent evidence that holds up to scrutiny, has taken bribe money from foreign countries. It's utility, obfuscating Trump's established record of criminal activity including a conviction. Not to mention.........

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump received at least $7.8 million in payments from foreign governments during two of his four years in the White House, according to a report released Thursday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.

Twenty foreign governments made the payments to Trump's businesses during the two-year period that the committee was able to review. The information in the report was first reported by The New York Times and CNN.

The replies from defenders of all things Trump will prove how effective his strategy has been.

Start a thread when you've stabilized. Well all celebrate your improvement

BS.
Not ONE of those actions were done to overthrow the US government or election.
January 6th actions WERE.

Of course they were. No Jan 6th was a protest that turned into a riot by a handful of people.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

No, you jackass. For paying her boyfriend a huge salary even though he has zero RICO experience, and then enjoying trips with him with THAT money.

It's THEIR $$$.........DUMBASS.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Of course they were. No Jan 6th was a protest that turned into a riot by a handful of people.

So, people carry helmets, bear spray, military flak jackets, gas mask, two way radios and stun guns to a
"protest"?

/----/ You loons have zero credibility. Tell us again how sharp Joe is, how his staff can't keep up with him. I'll make the pop corn.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

YES.

The four members of the Puerto Rican Nationalist Party injured five congressmen. Rep. Alvin M. Bentley (R-Mich.) was the most gravely wounded, surviving a punctured lung and shattered liver. The attackers were arrested and later convicted of assault with intent to kill and seditious conspiracy.

Moron.
