So, today we return to the Trumpian default position of Fake News? Trump never gave the threatening speech on Jan 29 last week-end? Never dangled pardons to seditious conspiracists and insurrectionists? Didn't downplay the brutality of Jan. 6 all the while stoking agitation for future violence? Trump the disgraced and defeated former President of the United States didn't have another rally to continue to propagate The Big Lie he peddles to rationalize his falsely perceived "right" to overturn the will of the people in the 2020 election?

Exactly, no interest in discussing the facts.

The 'fake news' mantra is an excuse, not a reason, to avoid reality.

The fact is citizen Trump generates his own news. The degree to which it reflects positively upon him (or negatively) is entirely in his own hands. Trump generates the news which is reported about him.

And his haters eat it up, all the while he hasn’t said he’s running and hasn’t been POTUS for over a year.

Hey....having seen him in action, I'd say he's NEVER been POTUS, just a POS.

Really, if it weren't for his supporters, he'd be the most deluded, reprehensible person in the United States. But they beat him for the title.

Unless of course their names are Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden or Hunter Biden or Dr Fauci. In that case we ignore it all.

Trump's rally in Texas shows exactly why he's so dangerous

^^^Precisely accurate. And the very ugly news he created at the latest stop on his Big Lie Tour is rightly condemned and should never be dismissed.

There are times when we should ignore the rhetoric of the twice-impeached, disgraced and defeated former POTUS---and then there are the times we must not because his statements are dangerous to our nation. Trump's comments at his Texas rally on Saturday fall into the latter category.

Nah, he was great, and I hope he runs again…but it’s interesting how folks that say he’s insignificant and has no chance of winning pay so much attention to him.

I do find it interesting that certain posters are obsessed with certain political figures.

And they think that all other political figures are upstanding citizens. In spite of mountains of evidence that prove otherwise.

Huh.

Bingo

Because Trump has consumed their souls. They refuse to look away from him and recognize the many debacles Sleepy Joe has achieved in such a short period of time.

Ha. The liberals tremble in fear at something they think he might have said. Meanwhile, they give a big thumbs-up to creepy demented Biden even when everything he says is unintelligible.

No he didn't.

The operative word is "protest". He calls for a protest, not a riot. Are you saying that those on the right not allowed to protest? It seems so.

He condemned the blm antifa riots, not the protests. Please show where he condemned them for "peacefully" protesting? (and btw, blocking traffic, getting into peoples faces, beating on people, burning buildings, killing people, etc., are not examples of "peaceful" protesting)

Quote:
He's offering to buy votes by giving a pardon to the 1/6 perps if he's elected. Those were the people who tried to violently overturn the election, on his urging.

He is now on record asking his legal council to see how much he can override the actual vote outcome.

And you want to know why he's dangerous. I guess, because he can still influence so many people, as is evidenced by the fact he still has so many supporters, who are more concerned with their agenda, rather than democracy, or the very fiber of what makes America great. Trump has no clue.
He did not "urge" them to riot.

As for your "pardons for votes" opinion. Let's look at exactly what he was talking about, hmmm?

Quote:
"If I run and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6 fairly. And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons because they are being treated so unfairly."
IF he runs and IF he wins. He hasn't even announced he's running. For all you and everyone else knows, he isn't.

Twice he mentions about "fair treatment" to those who'd rioted or didn't riot but were there. And yes they are being treated unfairly.

For one example, they had locked many of these people up, apparently in solitary, for what ... about a year now?

And for another example, they allowed others, who'd trespassed and incited people to be violent, to freely walk away while going after others who'd done similar or less.

And then there is strange buffalo hat nutjob guy. He was there, he was inside the building, he'd done no damage and harmed no person while he was there, he was seen on video telling others around him to be "peaceful" while they are there. His crime is basically trespassing ... and he's being imprisoned for almost 4 years - for trespassing.

It should have been a 6 month imprisonment and a $5000 fine for trespassing, with possibly another 6 months added for disrupting congress. Not almost 4 years.
https://www.criminaldefenselawyer.co...s-capitol.html

He'd made himself noticeable with that stupid hat and paint job and the left are using that to harshly sentence him because he 'stands out'. Either we have laws, and that includes sentencing laws, or we don't. And in this aspect it seems they're tossing the sentencing laws out of the window. These things and more is what Trump was talking about when he was saying "fair treatment".

It was never on Trump to pardon these people since they took it upon themselves to riot, which is why he never pardoned them from the start. Most likely the ONLY reason why he is talking pardons now is because they are being treated unfairly. The talking point of him doing it for votes is merely that, a talking point, and has nothing to do with the truth of the matter.
