Why don’t you stick it Mikey. What a cowardly putz he is.
Pence can SUCK IT, his political career has about as much future as Liz Cheney’s.
Many that are true conservatives are fed up with status quo “roll over to every Demo partisan investigation” so-called Republicans that might as well switch parties to be what they truly advocate, which is left-leaning big government, wink and nod governance that is severely damaging America. Pence is the poster child example. He was a lightweight governor and he was a do-nothing vice president. Poor choice on Trump’s part. The growing ground-swell of true conservatives regard the persecution of Donald Trump, that started before he was elected president, continued throughout his entire term of president, and continues unabated ever since he has been out of office, as completely unacceptable. It is way past time for an accounting of this unprecedented persecution in terms of the multi-millions of taxpayer funded dollars this has cost that has yielded nothing. It is a glaring example of why so many embraced Trump, namely to end the corrupt, institutional governance by career politicians that begin their elected careers with little wealth and very quickly amass huge fortunes, and fail the American electorate with policies that become increasingly inefficient and ineffective every single year, year after year. Both the FBI and IRS, two of the most powerful federal law enforcement agencies, have been severely weaponized to serve both the Republican and Democrat Parties rather than the citizens of the United States they swore an oath to protect. Pence has shown his true colors and tarnished himself far beyond any functional utility as a political leader. I voted for him more than once in past elections but never again. Pretty sure many others will do likewise.
So, flashback to 2016 … both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton under investigation by the FBI at the same time … yet the FBI doesn’t tell anyone that Trump is under investigation until after the election and they tell everyone that Clinton is under a new investigation days before an election?
So if you honestly think the FBI has it out for Donald Trump, just recall the assistance he was given in 2016.
Mark is the epitome of radical right-wing extremists who live in their FOX News bubble. Their perception of reality is simply built on a steady stream of lies and distortion. Trump has lived his entire life as a liar, a bully, a cheat, and a man unmoored from any sense of decency, patriotism or morality. These are the very qualities that drew so many angry and disaffected people to him. He is the perfect example of a mob boss. God help our country and world if he is not held accountable.
Gary–
Nobody had any problem with trump as recently as 2015. All the people pouncing on him would happily be seen in photos with him at galas with 5-digit price tags. People forgave his moral failings, his infidelities, his failed businesses (since his successful ones vastly outnumbered and outperformed the failures).
You’re an ideologue who is threatened by his politics. And his politics aren’t going to go anywhere when he croaks. The attempts to take him down are causing much younger people to take the banner and they’re sprouting like mushrooms. The globalist utopia promoted by the GOP and (especially) the Dems is going to come crashing down along with World War III.
Mike is 100% correct about the FBI and IRS and you’d be outraged if it weren’t for your own ideological allegiances. This is the stuff of a banana republic, and it would be the same if they were going after leftist dissidents. Frankly, it wouldn’t surprise me if they eventually went after Tulsi Gabbard as well. Clinton got a pass because she’s political royalty. J. Edgar did much the same thing to leftist dissidents in the 50s and 60s, so don’t think I’m giving right-wingers a fair pass; it was completely unethical then as well, but at least Hoover was a bit more subtle.
Swamprat Pence’s political career is over. He can go the same path as another failed neo-con from Wyoming: book deals, a guest spot on CNN or MSNBC or some other collapsing legacy media outlet, an honorary position in some neo-con think tank. He’ll keep rolling in the dough because the money train rewards people (neo-cons or neo-libs, they’re basically the same thing) who toe the line.
Trump is a thrice married, bankruptcy prone, woman abusing, draft dodging, tax defrauding, serial liar. At one time, any one of those faults would have disqualified him from any position in the R party. Today, he is adored and supported by people in that party who are ignorant of our history. A sad commentary on our educational system.
You didn’t give two hoots about any of this before 2016, and he’s not the first (nor certainly the last) to lay claim to these moral faults. A certain William Jefferson can claim almost all the same things, and then some…and he still managed to be a pretty decent president. Not a good person, but a good president. Meanwhile, the morally upright Jimmy Carter is a good person, was a bad president.
You are correct Lauren; I did not give two hoots about private citizen Trump, but when he entered politics, then I cared about who he was and what kind of leader he might be. He has shown; a very destructive person whose singular talent seems to be grade school level insults. Not what our country needed, not now, not ever.
Lauren B – he wasn’t running for office before 2016. Big difference. Before 2016 he was just a laughable idiot. After that, he was the person that was to represent our country across the world, which would make him our official laughable idiot. BIG difference.
