One would think so, but , as we have seen, some of these people would continue to drink the Kool Aide and claim it was all made up to get rid of Trump. We could have videos of him pocketing the money, and they would say it was fake.

A lot of these are the same people who believe the moon landing never happened, that Sandy Hook was staged, and that there is a pizza parlor porn ring being run by Hillary and Bill. That should tell you something.

Unless you are railing against the Clinton Foundation.

The IG report was a nothing burger.

Compared to this breaking news, yes. I'm not sure what I'm more appalled by - the fact that the cult of Trump is denying there's anything wrong here, OR that it's perfectly ok for Trump to do this.

What Trump did with his charity are crimes that have sent people to jail! Anyone who think it's perfectly ok for him to do this must think he's above the law.

No patriot should put up with this

I'm with you. If true (as it seems to be) Trump is a true POS, and a criminal, who attacks others for things he was guilty of.

The Clinton Foundation story has been a major story and talking point for years now. Hilary was, and is attacked with vigor for something she wasn't ever charged with.

There's a good chance we're seeing proof that Trump actually did those things, and worse. I wanted to believe that even Trump supporters would care, but Hannity and Tucker just provided the conservative narrative, that it's a biased AG trying to cause a distraction.

Trumplings live in opposite world, where investigations into Clinton that produce nothing mean she's guilty, while investigations into Trump and his associates that produce indictments, civil charges, and guilty pleas are nothing burger witch hunts.

If there's any evidence attached. that would be the cherry on top and you could show the world how you destroyed the Liberals.
Nice try at obfuscation, but you get two strikes in just one swing.

First, just because a known biased anti-Trump AG (who replaced another biased AG) files a lawsuit, does not give it credibility. We already know if it were left up to certain biased FBI agents, Hillary would be in the WH, and Trump would be behind bars.
Just to show my neutrality on this analogy, if Sheriff Arpioa had arrested Obama for being a fraud, I would not use that arrest as a means of bolstering my defense of another person, as he was clearly biased.

Your second strike is that my pointing out the partisan nature of this poster, is that many on the left hypocritically attack (R's) for things that they give passes to for those on their own (D) team. Whether it be gas prices, sexual assault, racism, etc.,
If they have a (D) by their name, they and the media do not go for the jugular.

I however have pointed out things or policies I did not care for with Bush, and can do the same with Trump.
Thus I am free of accusations of partisan hit jobs against the other team, that I would otherwise excuse for someone right leaning.

From experience, I know the poster I made the request of cannot provide such proof, because they are a partisan poster, through and through.

That happened long ago. Remember that Trump didn't respect a POW...he only likes vets who win.

That obviously applies to ALL veterans. Anyone who couldn't get out of the way of a mortar round....well, Trump likes those people would COULD dodge a bullet better.

He has proven this one time and time again.

We have also seen there is no "last straw" for Trump supporters. To them, the end (which they don't even know, nor does he) is worth ANY means. I mean ANY.

They have redefined patriotism. It's not being a wounded Vet. It's not staying true to your family or your wife. It's not understanding the Constitution or the Ideals of equality.

It's simply Bullying people, acting infantile, assigning nicknames to respectable people, insulting virtually anyone and everyone, coddling and looking up to dictators and following the creed of "it's not how many crimes and frauds you commit, it's whether you get caught and have to pay....and can't get pardoned"...

Patriotism is now getting away with not paying taxes. It's cheating the system in any way you can and then sending threats and teams of lawyers to "fix" things for you. It's taking direct money from Russians and having many Russian contacts and a lot of money from such in your Campaign....and even WH staff.

It's LONG since we could talk about that old fashioned family values and patriotism. That went out with the puzzy grabbing...

This is one sick man. And any Deplorable who supports his words concerning these items is every bit as bad.

It's sad to note, but a lot of his supporters are quite clear about it - they hate America. That is why they go for this "deep state" and "drain the swamp" and "chaos is good" stuff....they want America to end and be replaced by an Authoritarian Leader who will be strong and fix everything.

This might make some sense if it was in the realm of possibilities. But, in this case, it's often because they have anger at things and instead of noting that it is their own fault (often), they need to blame it on American and "the other". So they love it and cheer when Trump calls McCain the kind of War Vet he doesn't like.

This is beyond rhetoric. If he collected funds for veteran charity and did not remit them to the same then he should end up in dark dank cell for a long time.
