    What an obscenely niave post - either that or the thick partisan rose colored glasses do not allow you to see the flaws of Blue. What laws did Trump break - that the previous administration did not ?

    You show no similar desire to punish previous admin for lawbreaking behavior - "Do as we say - not as we do" mentality.

    You said "It would mean that we are no longer a nation of laws"

    That Obama-Hillary-Biden were not charged and convicted for their criminal activities shows you what a kangaroo clown show of a justice system we have - where the laws do not apply to some.

    Like I said - "Do as we say - not as we do" Guilty !!

    For the OP:

    If your political ideology differs from that of your friend just don't discuss politics. The world is full of other things to talk about. My, wife, for instance will not discuss politics with her brother. Any time he brings it up, she shuts him down. They get along pretty well.

    I'll be happy to show you my now famous chart of Trump Crimes and High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Only that I was waiting on the results of several ongoing investigations to update it by adding more proven Trump crimes. But, if you insist, I can show it to you as it is right now. I love to show-off my chart, so I'll be happy to do that if you want.

    After what happened on Jan. 6, and in acknowledgement of the fact many if not most Trump devotees are disconnected from reality, I would not judge your friend too harshly. The desire to disassociate one's self from Trump devotees goes much deeper than traditional, philosophical political differences of opinion. Trumpery represents a unique threat to the survival of democracy. It stands against basic decency and honesty. It is by its nature a corrupting force.

    That's a great chart! I'll incorporate it into my own armament, if you don't mind.

    And that was just after Trump's first year in office. After four years, when investigations are done with, it will be interesting to see if Trump exceeds all previous 44 presidents added together, Including Nixon.

    I could argue some of the points you've made about Trump. But I'm not going to. I have moved on, and I guess my point is that others should too. For their own sake, if nothing else. The answer to your last question is no, I do not have a difficult time keeping people in my life who disagree with me. The thing about this situation is that my friend doesn't know whether or not I "idolized" Trump, as we never discussed it and I'm not on social media (I mean other than this). To me, the fact that she felt like making such a blatant, and yes, cruel, statement, out of the blue, may show some kind of psychosis, because I don't believe she is a naturally obnoxious or anti-social person. Seems like it's a problem for a society if an overwhelming number of its inhabitants are mentally unhealthy.

    It's all about perspective. It sounds to me as though your long time friend and business associate has drawn a line in the sand. She has set standards for friendship, and being a Trump supporter crosses that line. For her. She isn't being cruel - she is being true to herself. And if by having those standards makes you think she has some kind of psychosis, perhaps she is on to something.

    I guess the bigger point is that this obsession with Trump, someone who is not even in office anymore, really needs to stop. In the interest of the unity that Biden said he wants. Actually, Biden should stop his own obsessing about "his predecessor" too. I understand that it is really about fear; the fear that Trump might come back, and might have enough support to do so. That may or may not happen, but until and unless it does, we need to live in the present, get over it, because there are other issues in need of much discussion.

    Well at very least Trump has found a home in each and everyone of them to be sure.. Take this site for example, 20 to 1 Trump to Biden posts :) Then again considering Brain Bleeders current show I'd be avoiding posting or taking about that moron too ;)

    So why post this thread? You have initiated a thread about Trump in a round about way - in essence, taking shots at those who oppose(d) him.

    So republican justice departments are more aggressive than democrat ones. I would have guessed that without the numbers.

    There is no "right" to join the military. Its a privilege and you can be rejected from being entered into the military or continuing to serve in the military at any point in time.

    I didn't see Trump being Guilty of War Crimes, Crimes against Humanity, Treason - aiding and abetting the enemy - lying to congress about it .. and lying to congress in general .. en mass spy program .. and I have just started .. and these crimes are far weightier than anything Trumpinski has done.

    Why are you accusing me of your state of being ? You are the one who does not care about the fact that Obama/Hillary/Biden - were not charged for their crimes .. crimes far greater than anything Carrot Top did.

    Or is it that "you do not care about actual justice" ?

    Of course you didn't! Trump has instructed you to not believe your eyes and ears whenever what you see or hear might displease The Leader. But he (should I say "He" -capital H- so as not to insult somebody's religious sensibility?) is most definitely guilty of the crimes indicated. And very likely guilty of the ones in other columns. And maybe more.

    Oh... BTW, I just remembered I need to add "Making False Statements" to his "Proven" column.

    Obama/Hillary/Biden's crimes were far worse than the Trump admin .. what part of this fact do your partisan goggles not allow you to see ?

    and lose the "Trump has instructed you" Ad Hom fallacious gibberish that often seems all you are capable of. My arguments against Trump are way better than yours.

    Have you lost the thread mate - going on about rubber and glue perhaps hoping that will somehow resurrect your lost argument ?

    Obama/Hillary/Biden - Far bigger crimes than the Trumpster -
