They don't appear to see anything, anywhere, that Trump is doing in this context.
Proving examples is pointless. You could provide a thousand, and they'd dismiss them all.
Do you think they really don't see it, or are they just playing around?

So what? Is that supposed to take our minds off Trump protecting pedos?

Why did Biden and Kamala protect pedos?
More like prove you're wrong.
Why are you trying to divert attention from the one that’s doing it now? It could all be settled, if Republicans show some spine.
Why didn't dems show some spine with this issue the past four years?

Stop supporting pedos like Biden
You’re begging the question again? Trump could solve the problem easily. Why won’t he?
The application of military force to quell rebellion or restore order or provide security when other law enforcement modalities become overwhelmed or are unable or unwilling or are prevented from doing so is entirely righteous.
The application of military force to secure the US southern border and to protect ICE and CBP agents when enforcing immigration law are examples of such entirely appropriate tactics.
Given that the OP here is a known Reverse-Racist and White-hater and has a Texas-sized chip on his shoulder against Whites, it is especially gratifying to serve-up the following counterpoint to the OP's accusation that Trump has been acting like a tyrant...
When Southern States seceded from the Union in 1861 and President Lincoln raised a military force of 75,000 volunteers to supplement the Regulars and sent that force South to quell rebellion, the slave-holding South called him a Tyrant.
When Donald Trump called-up Regulars and National Guard troops to secure the US southern border and to protect ICE and CBP agents - especially in Sanctuary jurisdictions - in order to enforce existing US immigration law - he was (and is) NOT acting like a "tyrant".

When have I supported Biden? He’s history; Trump isn’t, but you accept all his excuses for protecting his relationship with Epstein.
Yeah, right. Trump likes his freedom. If he releases the files, he’s likely to lose it, 1/21/29 at the latest.

All libs have to do is win a presidential election and teach their wackos how to shoot straitWhat is a tyrant, folks? We have seen people get called tyrants for making people stay inside during a pandemic. We saw people being called tyrants for making people get vaccinated to not spread a deadly virus. People have complained about tyranny because of an attempt to enforce equal rights and opportunities. Today, we have a president snatching people off the street, putting them in jails, or shipping them away without due process. To me, that's a tyrant, yet we see people defending this.
The Tyrant Test
A leader who uses military force to suppress his political opposition ought to lose the right to govern.
For as long as I’ve been alive, American presidents have defined tyrants by their willingness to use military force against their own people in reprisal for political opposition. This was a staple of Cold War presidential rhetoric, and it survived long into the War on Terror era.
Ronald Reagan declared in 1981 that “it is dictatorships, not democracies, that need militarism to control their own people and impose their system on others.” His successor, George H. W. Bush, did the same in 1992, talking about American presidents confronting the Warsaw Pact, which had been “lashed together by occupation troops and quisling governments and, when all else failed, the use of tanks against its own people.” Bill Clinton, when justifying strikes against the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in 1998, emphasized that Hussein had used his arsenal “against civilians, against a foreign adversary, and even against his own people.” George W. Bush repeated that justification when invading Iraq in 2003, saying that Hussein’s government “practices terror against its own people.” Barack Obama, when intervening in Libya on behalf of rebels fighting Muammar Qaddafi, warned that Qaddafi had said “he would show ‘no mercy’ to his own people.”
It would be absurd to say that American presidents have always been principled defenders of freedom and democracy, but their long-shared, bipartisan definition of tyrant is one who oppresses his own. So it’s striking that these warnings about tyrants in distant lands, who were supposedly the opposite of the kind of legitimate, democratic leaders elected in the United States of America, now apply to the sitting U.S. president, Donald Trump. It is a simple but morally powerful formulation: A leader who uses military force to suppress their political opposition forfeits the right to govern. You could call this the “tyrant test,” and Trump is already failing it.

Then eliminate a few Conservative SC judges and the new court can reverse the old court
Judging from what's been happening at CIA/DNI, He may have lots of company.
Deflection!
You showed me the way.
