Wait...I keep getting told there was no fraud

[98cwitr]

It's sad.

You know what is sadder? For the past four years, the Republican Party and a good portion of Evangelical America refused to hold the POTUS accountable for his behavior and deceit. We witnessed the consequences on January 6.

There's the big split. So many people cared about Trump's personality, while another chunk of America cared about his policies. Both matter, but which matters more to the benefit (or detriment) of America and her citizens?

In Texas and Illinois (at least), you can register to vote when you get/renew your drivers license or state ID:

Yeah, I'm aware of it, just never have done it that way, myself and was interested in the assertion that most people do.

Yeah, Trump is a coarse-natured, self-centered bully, but so what? I voted against him because of his policies.

Unironically this...yes.

The only possible silver lining to Trump's character traits was that he did attempt, best he could in the position he was in, to keep the promises he made during his campaign. Some worked, some didn't, some came to compromise. The man fought hard though. Sadly, Trump fought the swamp and the swamp won.

I still root for the swamp drainers versus the swamp makers.

Kudos to the swamp, then, for keeping the government from shoving a right-wing Christian political agenda up our noses.

Character and leadership values matter. Without these, a leader will never gain the respect and trust of the American people.

Trump wasn't trying to drain the swamp. (i.e. get rid of corruption)

He was just trying to ensure it was filled with Trump brand water and alligators. (he wanted to make sure he got his cut on all corruption)

I think he gained a lot of international respect.

Japanese people are changing their twitter profiles to his face

Hong Kong protestors are holding Trump flags and banners

Brazilians and the Polish showing support for Trump


The left v. right factions are not just in the US, it's a global thing.

Tell that to Planned Parenthood.

Trump's hotels have made a mint since he took office. No research into other options just defaults to Trump's hotels regardless of cost.

Like most, he wants to drain the swamp of everyone else, but not himself.

He has used his places, hotels and such places and then turned around and charged the government way more--I mean way more Trump Jr. is being investigated along with Trumps' favorite daughter, for charging the government $1000 a day for some place that they never even looked for something cheaper.
Added all together, Trump made millions off the jacked up prices for using his properties.

Me personally, I'm all for swamps and think the world needs more of them.

In the over all ecological scheme of things, swamps are way more important than donald trump is.

Swamps filter out waste and toxins, purify water and decompose organic matter (dead things) and break them down into important nutrients for other living organisms.

IOW swamps take out the garbage ... sort of like what happened to trump.

This is very much untrue. International opinion of America had dropped quite sharply since Trump took office. Polling shows this clearly.

Add the fringe element of both sides to the picture and it has gone through the bottom.

Come to think of it, after he snubbed the troublesome leaders of the world we hardly heard a thing about them for a few years. I suppose now that he is gone the media will be promoting them again full force and they will have a come back tour. Business back to normal and the clock once again closer to midnight..

Maybe if you’ve only been paying attention to American news media, but there’s plenty going on around the world. The rest of the planet didn’t stop spinning for Trump.

I mostly watch European news to get a better handle on the rest of the world because they spend less time navel gazing, but like I said those so called evil leaders like Vlad and Kim didn't get much attention anywhere. Perhaps they enjoyed the solitude, but if not and their egos were damaged in the process they will be happy to get back in the limelight.

Well the 24/7 TRUMP SHOW was pretty entertaining but exhausting.

Personally I found it quite boring. The media ran the same show every week for 5 years.

Well, if you don't like a particular show, don't blame the network. Blame the people who continue to tune in, week after week after week after.....
