easy behavior.
The man has a very simple mind: nobody stopped him when he was (I would add "an ignored") teenager.
The good is that he proved how nowadays "democracy" works: ok, you are in charge, but you must obey "the circle": he did not, so the king is naked....
He is the living proof they cheated us.
Incredible that USA is now more similar to how Eastern Block has been working during cold war.
Guys, hiding crap under the ideological carpet will work for a while, but then your country will start rotting from the inside and everything will slowly cease to work. As it did in Eastern Block in 1980s
"I was just informed that our country's 'Jobs Numbers' are being produced by a Biden appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfar, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the jobs numbers before the election to try and boost Kamala's chances of victory.
This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the jobs growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 presidential election, in August and September, by 112,000.
These were records – no one can be that wrong?"
Who said that?
There are corrections that are common all the time. Do you have evidence it was done to help Kamala win the election?
But given the level of hatred of Trump and the lengths the Dems will go to attempt to discredit Trump we've seen so far, it's not hard to believe that this is just another example of the abuse of political power to take out an opponent.
The scale compared to what?
Explain the timing argument? There are major elections every two years which is pretty frequent as campaigning starts months before.
" it's not hard to believe that this is just another example of the abuse of political power to take out an opponent."
So you don't have evidence?
What other examples do you have that been proven to indicate there's a clear pattern of abuse or power to target Trump?
"What other examples do you have that been proven to indicate there's a clear pattern of abuse or power to target Trump?"
The Russian collusion hoax (weaponizing the CIA/FBI against a political opponent via a fabricated dossier paid for by Hilary Clinton).
The bypassing of the first amendment through censorship by proxy through pressuring social media organisations to suppress information the Dems didnt like. Alot of which turned out to be true (but inconvenient for the Dems).
The ridiculous lawfare against Trump where a DA in New York, who campaigned for the job on the platform of "getting Trump", who was famous for reducing felonies to misdemeanours but in the case of Trump, turned a misdemeanour into a felony. And this was for a crime for which there was no victim (nobody was complaining).
The lying/gaslighting the American people on the mental capacity of a president in the early stages of dementia, whilst a cabal of backroom operatives ran the country.
The lying/gaslighting of the American people on the open southern border where they first pretended there was no problem, then when it became an election issue, pretended it could only possibly be resolved with bi-partisan legislation. (Trump solved the problem within weeks of being in office with no new legislation). Alot of people believe the open border was simply a strategy to sway voter demographics in the Dems favour. This from the party that likes to lecture everybody about "protecting democracy".
The suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story where 50 ex-FBI/CIA operatives lied about the veracity of the laptop so Biden would have a talking point for the upcoming debate.
There is no doubt alot more that we don't know about. This is a deeply corrupt political party.
How? Illegals can't vote
Why don't you consider Trump's reputation even worse for lying about widespread fraud in the 2020 election?
This was ruled legal by the Supreme Court. How does this affect the reputation of the justice department when they weren't involved?
Evidence?
Evidence?
Your claim is the border is now secure?
We are now losing the companionship of people who could cross legally because they don't trust us to treat them fairly. Canadians aren't coming. Europeans are staying home. To say nothing of our Southern neighbors.
"Just terrorize people into staying away" was always an option. It works great for North Korea! There's a reason previous administrations didn't pursue that agenda.
I suspect we won't really grasp this lesson though until the economies along our border start to implode for lack of commerce.
20% drop in tourism from Canada. That's about 10% shy of the drop after 9/11, during a time that is notably nothing like 9/11.
America is not above being passed over by a global community that interprets its behavior as damage and routes around it. We don't know what it's like to become a pariah state; our current behavior has us angled to find out.
(At this point, as a native-born American, not even I want to travel. The risk of being unable to return successfully to the country is too high).
