A lot 12 accomplishments so far and going…

Most of the list you provided will never be enacted. A lot of House resolutions (i.e. statements) or new House committees.

Accomplishments, lol . . .

The GOP House has not been able to pass anything. You know why? The MAGA wing's stuff is just too crazy to even make it out of the House, much less get passed by the Senate.

so the GOP should just roll over and go with whatever the Dems want? 

There's such a thing as compromise. Democrats and Republicans used to be able to do it until the Tea Party, the Freedumb Caucus, and other circus performers took over the GOP.

Desperation is often the trade of a fallible prosecutorial political driven band of so-called lawyers.

You have an opinion based on no evidence. None. Garland and Smith have nothing in their record even remotely suggesting partisanship or corruption or membership in some secret leftist adenochrome cabal.

My conclusion, based on a preponderance of facts, is that Trump is a crook, he is unfit for the presidency or any other public office, and he has severely wounded American democracy and political discourse.

It’s really not complicated.

Garland and Smith…can’t even say what they are, this is a family site.

Classy.

What have these men done to warrant such public vitriol?

—Are there specific facts you dispute?

Pretty much the majority of them as to the political severity of them, now ask how I feel about the lackey’s working for the DOJ that are tasked with trying to (unsuccessfully) take down this man.

It’s clear you haven’t read the indictments.

He also called for Smith "and his Thug Prosecutors" to be jailed alongside Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Trump is a lunatic.

How anyone could support this man at this point is beyond me.

He’s talking about jailing a prosecutor and AG for doing their jobs.

you are allowed to believe whatever false nutty witch hunt TDS narrative you want.

Facts are facts, and the law’s the law.

I’ve heard nothing from you about the substance of these charges. Are there specific facts you dispute?

Yeah, nothing is more presidential than a total disdain for laws, the judiciary, law enforcement, the government, or anyone who doesn’t give him everything he wants.

lol

Trump is a deranged narcissist and nihilist. He has no concern for anyone but himself, and certainly not for the nation.

@bass

What’s your defense of Trump ordering security cam footage deleted while knowingly under investigation for knowingly stashing top secret documents that he knew he hadn’t declassified?

All I’ve heard is attacks on Jack Smith, whose motives you seem to know.

here is the hard part, prove the intent, and state of mind.

Not hard in this case.

What possible state of mind would make a person order staff to delete security cam footage while under investigation?

There’s really only one answer, given Trump’s patterns of behavior. He wanted to hide something that the DOJ was looking for. That’s criminal, and the mens rea is clear.

Rudy Giuliani is not disputing that he made public comments falsely claiming two Georgia election workers committed ballot fraud during the 2020 presidential race but he argues that his words are constitutionally protected statements

Willful defamation based on known falsehoods is not constitutionally protected.

Giuliani used to be a smart lawyer. Then he got tangled up in the MAGA swamp.

Try that in a small town.

What he's insinuating is a white small town, well armed, and ready to use vigilante justice against uppity minorities and libs who don't know their place.

Yeah, ya think you’re tough--when you're a majority with a bunch of AR-15s.

Celebrating the ugliest legacy of the South.

BTW, Macon isn't a small town.

Oh, just remembered another hallmark of far right authoritarianism: whitewash and mythologize the nation's history and cram this uncritical narrative into the public school system. Orban's doing it in Hungary, and the current MAGA GQP is working on it as well.

--Time-tested MO of the authoritarian right: blame racial minorities for the country's problems,

No, not at all to do with that, this is about this admin., and their wretched apologies.

The rise of Orban and the other semi-fascist authoritarians over the past couple of decades is because of the Biden administration?

Hungary certainly has not come to terms with its Fascist past.

carries out a replacement of its population via migration

There we go. The Great Replacement theory. Which is why Orban is so popular among MAGA/Q-Anon/White Supremacist Americans. Spoke at CPAC. Tucker did a special from Hungary.

Birds of a feather.

The EU rejects Christian heritage . . . and conducts an LGBTQ offensive,

Time-tested MO of the authoritarian right: blame racial minorities for the country's problems, and spread fear about "traditional values" being under threat.

now that Ray Epps will be sacrificed as “proof”all the prosecutions were “fair”.

Bingo!

Wow. We’re circling back to this nonsense again?

Hot chicken nugget?

Outrageous, egregious, preposterous!

why most of those establishment Republicans that were against his agenda have been replaced

The ones who have been replaced were booted not because of their policy positions but because they were against Trump’s vision of the presidency as his personal fiefdom and his dirty dealings.

Think Liz Cheney, who voted for almost everything Trump backed, but is now considered a RINO. It’s not ideology, it’s not policy. It’s loyalty, and it’s a cult.

As for Q Anon, rule #1 for these people is to deny they know what Q is when confronted by nonbelievers.

we are talking about Washington.

No, we are talking about New York.

More like the left are getting tired that the left can’t stop this guy, so now they’re just slinging knives and hoping one sticks,

All leftists in America are conspiring against Trump. It's a big conspiracy, I tells ya! A FACT!

Hellerstein rejected Trump’s argument that the indictment could be moved to federal court because it was “politically motivated” and the product of “state hostility.”

Trump's legal arguments are getting dumber and dumber.

Methinks he has a few screws loose.

a “coordinated effort” among Republican parties in several battleground states including Michigan to push so-called alternate slates of electors with fake documents

Led by the arch traitors Donald Trump, John Eastman, and Rudy Giuliani.

like the same kind of rhetoric when it comes to heads of people that don't serve the former President on a silver platter.

Nope. Not anywhere close.

he wants his nominees confirmed, and he will give in to Paul's request,

Terrorism. You don't give me the head of Fauci, I'll punish America's diplomatic corps and America's interests and reputation.

if the roles were reversed, the Dems would do the same.

First of all, it's not the entire GOP that's holding up these nominations. It's Rand Paul. Secondly, no, the "Dems" wouldn't do the same.

I have my suspicions but again, I am not Paul, he has his reasons.

His reasons are that he has a special place in his heart for baseless conspiracy theories and obstructing government for political gain.

Ask Paul to be more specific, he’s asking for them. I’m not in Congress.

But you called the documents "crucial". You must have some reason for that.

if the Dems want to play hardball and not allow the other side to view these crucial documents

What "crucial documents"? Can you be specific?

Paul might have a point (though still not justified) if there were a legitimate basis for his request. But there's not. It's all based on Q-Anon, anti-vax conspiracy theories, and anger over having to wear a mask. He's holding up diplomatic nominations for that?

the left wants to call this political terrorism, that sentiment feeling goes both ways

Sigh . . .

Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, has a blanket hold on all Defense Department nominations and promotions in an attempt to try to change Pentagon's abortion policy.

He’s OK with white nationalists in the military, though.

Another fine Southern gentleman.

—Another MAGA political terrorist.

This is violent and unacceptable language.

Oh? And what would you call Paul’s little stunt?
