    Whenever you people say he said something it's a good indication that he didn't.

    Funny how Trump fans completely IGNORE the basic fact that it is Trump's ex Cabinet members and staff who are warning us about letting Trump
    back in the White House. ALL his ex Chief of Staff have said Trump is not fit run the country. But you' all ignore it. Whatever.

    Just more layers of the conspiracy against poor Donald. What else could it be? That they’ve been conned??

    He bitches about what he reckons is White House political interference with the DOJ and then says he will do exactly the same. What an arzehole.

    My favourite poster's latest on Humpty and those who have turned on him.

    Pure Hogwash. The only people who don't recognize the vendetta are the people pushing the vendetta.
    How people conduct themselves is an expression of their honor, their self-respect, and moral values. While nobody's perfect and we all make mistake, and we're all a bit different- some people respond to their moral compass, and others throw it out. The bar and moral compass of the left is somewhere in the deep ocean. They no longer use those things and have forgotten why they matter.

    The "dictatorship" is trying to lock itself in on America right now. It's evident in everything we see the left doing- but nothing more relevant than trying to make the conservatives the enemy of the nation, in order to allow the true enemy unbridled corruption.

    They've sold you a crock of BS, and apparently you eagerly swallowed it. The nation didn't get in this mess by following conservative principles- but by throwing principles out the window and adopting the kind of nonsense mindset we see in punk teenagers, with zero acceptance of responsibility for their own actions, supported by arrogance and denial.

    So you want to put Schiff in jail for political purposes and yet wonder what's wrong with politics.

    Schiff is a bad man who did bad things. He lied, fabricated evidence and made it much harder for a sitting president to do his job. Schiff’s conduct was treasonous. He belongs in jail.

    If you don’t like what I posted, provide evidence that it isn’t true.

    You're giving me the typical answer from MAGA who know nothing about the case.

    I'll educate you a little.

    Trump is not being sued just because he inflated the value of his property to get a loan.

    He's being sued because he submitted up to three different appraisals for the same property, depending on who he was dealing with: one for the bank, another for the insurance company and yet another for the City of New York.

    In many cases, he lied about surface areas, rental income, renovations, etc.

    He repeated this strategy for years, costing taxpayers millions in unpaid taxes.

    So, did Trump broke the law ?

    That's a funny one.

    Here’s Every Trump Property That’s Dropped His Name

    They make a good point. Trump was foolish enough to hire all of them. Executive incompetence matters.

    Dude, should we say the same thing about the GOP when Obama was president including intentionally not allowing nominees to judgeships? Was that "treasonous?" What about Tuberville and his antics on holding hostage some 350-plus flag and general officers? And want to name any politician who hasn't lied?

    Finally, AG Garland only referred 6 cases where a parent who was attending a school board meeting allegedly made a threat to a school board member. Threats to any politician, regardless of political party or office, should NOT be made regardless of issue or cause.

    This is remarkably like our "asset forfeiture" laws where your money is seized and it up to you to prove your innocence. NY's law can be applied to every property investor in NY.

    Actually, for most of Trump's initial appointments, most were well qualified for the position they were nominated for. Mattis for DoD, Sessions for AG, Elaine Chow f or Transportation, and many others. Trump's problem or issue is he wants absolute loyalty and that is what got many in legal trouble. Trump thinks he can do whatever the hell he wants, especially as president. He does not think long term, just the next day. Thus, when his confidants, advisors, and his inner circle got into legal trouble, the adage "no honor among thieves" and saved their own hides.

    The point is, it hasn't been applied where there has been no damages.

    What Schiff did in no way treasonous.

    Of course, if we didn't take care of every tax payer advantage, we would give over half of our earned income to government. He didn't cost taxpayers nothing. Let me educate you a little.....try using your logic if you have any. Trump supplies how many jobs in the City of New York? How much money has New York made off his enterprise in the way of sales tax , permit fees, employee taxes, tourist revenue, etc.? Our tax structures are designed to nurture those types of income. You don't like it probably because you have a vendetta against wealthy established business men. We should all be paupers of the government.

    Good.

    So, your point is that you want Trump to get a pass because he could fulfill your political agenda.

    It won't happen.

    So Trump, who said he only hires the best people, was conned by all of them? I would say that makes him a catastrophic judge of character. And how does that help the US when he meets with foreign leaders? (I guess that explains his 'love' for Kim Jong Un and his great admiration for Putin and Viktor Orban.)
