    Elvis Presley’s Suspicious Minds – was followed by the tinny sound of Justice for All, a rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner sung by defendants jailed over their alleged roles in the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

      I feel like the only one who sees through the bullshit. I feel like I’m the only one who has realized that trump isn’t a smart person nor good at speaking unless he has a script to follow that he can’t diverge from because as soon as he does the crazy cat lady is on display.

          From what I see here and previously on reddit and when I was sort of (but not really) active on fb. I definitely feel like that or at the least I’m one of only a few willing to call out insanity and try to educate others so we all have a better future.

          If more people like us would step up and be more active online and off, we may have been able to avoid the whole trump in office bit to begin with. I know that most us are not spotlight friendly and would rather just be left alone but we can’t live like that for the foreseeable future. Not until enough of the maggats and their leaders are in jail or barred from politics for life.

          I was telling everyone I knew about trump when he first ran this time around. Even in my circles I’m an exception who knew what trump was and has known for 30+ years.

          Right, but every new article seems to treat him with a blank slate. You could write a completely unbiased true article saying “Convicted rapist who wants to be dictator ‘for day one’ of his presidency says that he’ll use the ‘success of the US’ as his ultimate revenge.”

          The news fucking kowtows to this fascist’s feelings far too much IMO. Seems biased in the opposite direction, just so they can maintain a “neutral” tone.

      These manipulative headlines only help Trump. In the same speech he says he is the only person who can stop WW3. A ridiculous statement that only a cult leader would say. He also said that Biden approved Nord Stream on day 2 of his presidency which is a complete lie. Nord Stream 1 was blown up and then Biden got Germany to cancel Nord Stream 2. The opposite of what Trump said. There is plenty of valid criticisms and no need to be manipulative of Trump’s words.

      Trump is in the WWE Hall of Fame.

      His venues have hosted Wrestlemanias, and he and Vince had a hair vs hair feud that culminated in a Wrestlemania match - Trump won.
