    Default A little reminder for Trump supporters.

    Well, it seems that there is a possibility that the Orange Oaf may get the nomination for the GOP Presidential candidate in 2024. Should this happen, and the American public is (again) barraged with the usual talking points from the MAGA minions (civilian, political, media), I thought this little ditty of 6 years ago from Robert Reich should help in the discussions in the office lunch room and family dinner table. Fill in the blanks where things have changed. Enjoy!



    "1. He called Hillary Clinton a crook.
    You bought it.
    Then he paid $25 million to settle a fraud lawsuit.

    2. He said he’d release his tax returns, eventually.
    You bought it.
    He hasn’t, and says he never will. ( update: https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...ay-2022-12-30/ )

    3. He said he’d divest himself from his financial empire, to avoid any conflicts of interest.
    You bought it.
    He is still heavily involved in his businesses, manipulates the stock market on a daily basis, and has more conflicts of interest than can even be counted.

    4. He said Clinton was in the pockets of Goldman Sachs, and would do whatever they said.
    You bought it.
    He then proceeded to put half a dozen Goldman Sachs executives in positions of power in his administration.

    5. He said he’d surround himself with all the best and smartest people.
    You bought it.
    He nominated theocratic loon Mike Pence for Vice President. A white supremacist named Steve Bannon is his most trusted confidant. Dr. Ben Carson, the world’s greatest idiot savant brain surgeon, is in charge of HUD. Russian quisling Rex Tillerson is Secretary of State.

    6. He said he’d be his own man, beholden to no one.
    You bought it.
    He then appointed Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, whose only “qualifications” were the massive amounts of cash she donated to his campaign.

    7. He said he would “drain the swamp” of Washington insiders.
    You bought it.
    He then admitted that was just a corny slogan he said to fire up the rubes during the rallies, and that he didn’t mean it.

    8. He said he knew more about strategy and terrorism than the Generals did.
    You bought it.
    He promptly gave the green light to a disastrous raid in Yemen- even though all his Generals said it would be a terrible idea. This raid resulted in the deaths of a Navy SEAL, an 8-year old American girl, and numerous civilians. The actual target of the raid escaped, and no useful intel was gained.

    9. He said Hillary Clinton couldn’t be counted on in times of crisis.
    You bought it.
    He didn’t even bother overseeing that raid in Yemen; and instead spent the time hate-tweeting the New York Times, and sleeping.

    10. He called CNN, the Washington Post and the New York Times “fake news” and said they were his enemy.
    You bought it.
    He now gets all his information from Breitbart, Gateway Pundit, and InfoWars.

    11. He called Barack Obama “the vacationer-in-Chief” and accused him of playing more rounds of golf than Tiger Woods. He promised to never be the kind of president who took cushy vacations on the taxpayer’s dime, not when there was so much important work to be done.
    You bought it.
    He took his first vacation after 11 days in office.
    On the taxpayer’s dime.
    And went golfing.
    And that’s just the first month."

    Nope. Hillary was investigated a dozen times and charged with absolutely nothing. The Rightys had the power and could not get her. They tried.

    So then what do you think it is?

    Is it just Trump, Barr and all the Republicans are just so stupid they cannot indict or convict her or the crimes they allege? Because it is certainly no shortage of investigations.

    And it is not like it is hard to indict or convict obvious criminals. I mean look at this...




    Examining it I think, if we accept what you are saying, and I might be willing to, we then have to accept how abjectly stupid and useless republicans and their supporters are, right?

    Thank you. I have no love for Hillary ... never voted for her as Senator or President. But facts are facts.

    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Trump derps have to accept the FACTS.


    If the Dems are doing all this criminality in their Presidencies and in Elections and then when a POTUS like Trump takes over and his AG Barr go after them and numerous lawyers pushing election cases and they lose EVERY SINGLE court case and get no prosecution then they must either admit Democrats and their voters are just so much smarter they cannot be caught or Republicans and their voters are just so stupid they cannot catch them.

    Because you can see above how EASY it is catch and convict Republican criminals.


    So which is it Trump derps? Are Dems just so smart? Or are Trump derps just that stupid?

    This from a brain dead halfwit who buys all the bullshit he is fed by Joe Biden, the Democratic Party of the Lying Jackass and Phony media.
