Ladies and gentlemen, it is just this simple:

Last edited Mon Dec 5, 2022, 04:01 PM - Edit history (1)

If a politician is asked if he renounces Trump's request to suspend any rule of law---INCLUDING OUR CONSTITUTION--- in order to be "declared" the winner of the 2020 election and his or her response is anything less than a resounding "ABSOLUTELY!", he or she is one of those despicable spineless bobbleheads that fascism depends upon.

They will vote for Trump, grovel shamelessly for his approval and enthusiastically savage anyone who dares oppose him.

If you personally know someone who insists that what Trump said is "no big deal" you might want to tell them what an ignoramus that makes them. Be sure to look them straight in the eye when you tell them and be ready to laugh at any indignant response.

‘He didn’t mean that’ or ‘the CORRUPT liberal media made it up’ or he ‘right because the 2020 election was STOLEN!1!’

I expect most of their Senators and Rep will take their lead from those twits, once the RNC cleans up the language.

called for the termination of the Constitution...except he did and it's in writing and it's gone worldwide viral..and in his mostly all caps denial post he is clarifying his now infamous "terminate the constitution" dreck, repeating what he posted on Sunday minus the treason part...and that noise we hear is that of the spineless GOP breathing a collective sigh of relief because that part about sidelining the Constitution distracts from their all consuming need to investigate Hunter Biden's schlong

Says it, notices it creates a mostly-negative uproar and then denies he ever said it. Cuz he “got it” too late - but he still thinks he can just take it all back and everybody will simply forget and go along with the new revision.

Maybe that works with the low-info crowd because it’ll mesh with and reinforce what they WANT to believe. Unfortunately for them - and for the rest of us - it’s out there, reinforcing a completely cock-eyed view of reality.

Emperor GodTrump and be so for life so can live off the riches he has stolen plus has The nuclear arsenal at his fingertips, blackmailing other countries - it will destroy what is left of the United States of America. The good news: The state of California will become its own country.

And if I were on CA, just wait for when the MAGATS cut off access to Lake Meade water. They already want to tear up that old agreement so AZ and Utah can drain more.
