And as I have stated in the past, I have the experience of serving under a variety of leaders, and in battle where my life was on the line. I prefer the effective, if unsavory, leader over the nice guy who screws things up. I doubt I would like Donald Trump at all if I actually met him. But....if he implements policies that improve the lives of most of the citizens then it does not matter what I think of him as a person. Moreover, if even a fraction of the accountability applied to Trump were remotely applied to Biden I would be perfectly satisfied. But between the two....I cannot be sure right now who is the more corrupt or "bad", other than Biden implements really stupid policies that have predicatable outcomes....that he first denies, then tries to pretend away....and then blames others.... In terms of "leadership" he might be one of the worst I have ever seen.... This is how I feel as well. Gov Gavin Newsome isn't just a cheater several times over, or does he come off as a cocky piece of trash...but he doesn't care about people. He cares about money. He makes policies that have destroyed and harmed our state and the people who live here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That being said, if it were true that instead of what he does at present he decided to adjust.....to pursue putting criminals in prison, lower taxes, increase employment, foment energy independence etc....if he had the policies that made easy common sense, I would happily vote for him for President, no matter how much of a dooshbag he mght be as a person.

Both impeachments toward Trump were farcical nonsense, and because they decided to do that nonsense now I suspect we see the Republicans return the favor, unfortunately. His policy manuevers were solid, loved them, but anyone can do them. He showed how it can be done, how it is possible to employ good policies. We just need someone, anyone, to step up and commit to the Trump model. I would frankly prefer NOT to have Trump involved because we have to put up with excessive whining about stuff that does not matter, its just tiring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing he did was illegal there and he will never be indicted for anything that day. I've long said that the most egregious and potentially illegal thing he did was that phone call to the Georgia SOS. I'd be fine if he were indicted for that. The NY indictment was so pathetic it was both laughable and sad. For the documents, they could easily arrest Biden as well, but of course they won't. Instead they made a Venn diagram of the two scenarios, highlighted the part unique to Trump, and indicted him on that alone, so that they could have plausible deniability for ignoring Biden. Jan 6th was all the stuff up to it that I laid out. It is TBD if he is indicted for these actions. For me this is his worst issue though and why he should removed from consideration. If he has the right people in place who knows what happens. The documents indictment it is about him hiding them knowingly for probably the 100th time. That is his crime there.

False Dilemma (also known as: all-or-nothing fallacy, false dichotomy [form of], the either-or fallacy, either-or reasoning, fallacy of false choice, fallacy of false alternatives, black-and-white thinking, the fallacy of exhaustive hypotheses, bifurcation, excluded middle, no middle ground, polarization) Description: When only two choices are presented yet more exist, or a spectrum of possible choices exists between two extremes. False dilemmas are usually characterized by “either this or that” language, but can also be characterized by omissions of choices. Another variety is the false trilemma, which is when three choices are presented when more exist. https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/logicalfallacies/False-Dilemma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I don’t care if it’s Democrat or Republican. Unless of course you want to see what a real armed insurrection looks like. We are a very stupid country right now - our own worst enemy.

I used a graphic to explain to you how the feds will selectively enforce laws which apply to Trump but not Biden. You, apparently not getting that, listed some of those items. But the US code says: Quote 18 U.S. Code § 1924 - Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material U.S. Code Notes prev | next (a) Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both. Biden clearly did that. And before you say it, he had the "intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location" until the documents were discovered. Perhaps you think if someone steals a car, if that car is then located and the thief says "oh my bad go ahead and take it," he won't be arrested? Biden violated the law, certainly enough to be indicted, should the prosecutors be so inclined. Which they won't be. Wanna put a friendly wager on whether or not Biden gets indicted?
