Yes for me. He has done things for his own personal benefit that are against the interests of the country. Is there a word for someone who does that?

LGR4GM Posted January 19, 2021 Author Report Posted January 19, 2021 If you want to know what dystopian hellscape Trump and his sycophants want, read the 1776 Commission. I have never read anything that reaches such a level of racist propaganda since I studied the literal Nazis in WWII. I don't mean that hyperbolically, I mean the level of propaganda and complete bastardization of history in the 1776 commission "report" is on the same level as the Nazis. Rewrite history so you are the hero, use racist language to demonize "the others", openly lie about how your way makes things better, tie in the religion you believe in, suggest the only way forward is for society to bend to your will. It is a disgusting lie that would have you believe the US was not founded using slavery but that the US was always on the path to removing slavery and it wasn't that bad. It is racist propaganda written by white nationalists. The writers should be shunned, canceled, and otherwise banished. Absolutely grotesque. It is truly the last disgusting gasp of a regime that should be remembered by history as a racist authoritarian nightmare, forced on the US by tapping into our deepest and darkest. https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/18/politics/1776-commission-report-donald-trump/index.html Don't take my word for it though. Here is the report and let me just say when they open with this "comprised of some of America’s most distinguished scholars and historians—has released a report presenting a definitive chronicle of the American founding, a powerful description of the effect the principles of the Declaration of Independence have had on this Nation’s history, and a dispositive rebuttal of reckless “re-education” attempts that seek to reframe American history around the idea that the United States is not an exceptional country but an evil one." you know that it is going to be racist propaganda. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/1776-commission-takes-historic-scholarly-step-restore-understanding-greatness-american-founding/
Sabel79 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 Yeah, if I were tasked with editing this thing, I’d yell at everyone involved for wasting thousands of words when they could have summed it up with, you know, fourteen. 1

And Shuler Hensley would have made a better Javert than Russell Crowe (although he would not have driven the box receipts). Crowe can't sing in the bass range with the confidence Hensley has here. It's almost too bad that I can't share it with a lot of friends just because of the political nature of it.
LGR4GM Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Posted February 10, 2021 I am amazed that Republican's have argued that 1) they are the party of person responsibility and 2) that they can't convict Trump because he is already out of office... I will never in my life vote for a member of the GOP. On January 6th 2021, they no longer were a via political party I could in good conscience vote for as they dragged their lies and insurrection literally into the capitol.
LGR4GM Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Posted February 10, 2021 I wonder what Nfreeman thinks... "it won't be that bad" "people need a cooling off period". You're right, it wasn't "that bad"... it was worse.
Weave Posted February 13, 2021 Report Posted February 13, 2021 teresting developments today in the Senate. Very curious what agreement was reached to avoid witnesses. Have to think with a Dem majority that Reps had to give in on something
drnkirishone Posted February 13, 2021 Report Posted February 13, 2021 Unsurprisingly he was not convicted. The only surprise to me is 7 Republicans showed a backbone and voted to convict

Sabel79 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Posted February 14, 2021 Expect the rallies to begin again shortly, along with more and escalating violence across the country. We are in so much danger as a country/society.
drnkirishone Posted February 15, 2021 Report Posted February 15, 2021 thanks to the chicken ***** republicans

drnkirishone Posted July 30, 2021 Report Posted July 30, 2021 Seems proof of Frump pressuring the DOJ to help with his coup is coming out 7 months later. Notes from a call with the DOJ in December. DoJ told Frump we can't and won't change the outcome of an election. Frump responded that he didn't expect them to change it, just say it is corrupt and leave the rest to him and his Republican congressmen
LGR4GM Posted February 4, 2022 Author Report Posted February 4, 2022 The Republican Party no longer exists. 1

In my opinion, he was/is the greatest threat to the Constitution that we have seen, maybe since the Civil war, and certainly since McCarthyism. I was/am quite proud (as an American) that it held up. Lets hope it keeps holding on.

Unless alot of people are in prison prior to the next group of Congress is seated this is gonna get worse. 1
