They are scared Trump will use the same tactics against them.

And I hope they are right.

Camps.... Camps for all of them.

I'll settle for prosecuting those who have abused power, denied Trump and others their constitutional and civil rights and made a mockery of the judicial system.

Voting fraud needs a big flush too.

He accomplished basically zero economically (all trends continued unchanged from Obama), created a cult of personality, divided the country like no one before, and then shite the bed during his one crisis.

Total disaster.

I would argue that my personal economics did much better. Just my 401k alone could attest to that, I was at one point looking at a 24% increase.

This could have been avoided if the left didn't push so hard against him. Newton's 3rd law at work here.

I'm not going to defend Trump's response to Covid, he did what his experts recommended, which is what a good leader would do. He has however admitted his mistakes, which is all one can ask for.

I think he cannot use their own tactics against them - they made up "facts" out of whole cloth and tried to prosecute Trump for them.

Trump needs to shine the light on their crimes and let the world see them and demand justice.

If Joe Biden took a bribe from the Chinese government, then expose the bank records and prove that he committed an obvious and serious crime. We have to remember that the media is on Biden's side. They will not stand up tell the public that felonious jaywalking is akin to murder, like they did with Trump. It not only needs to be a clear violation of the law, but it needs to be a very serious crime - like bribery.

Not enough handouts. Too many gas stoves. No trannies in kids libraries. Immigrants couldn't just walk across the border and suck up public resources. Cheap gas. Less government. Too little environmental scams. Etc.

Wrong. My 401K was doing so well I considered just retiring. I was making more money in my entire life overseas on a project that I was working. My 401K was making more. Been dismal since Biden has been in office.

He also made us energy independent
He got nato to pony up more money
He got back respect for the military after Obama had let Iran embarrass our sailors
He also put sanctions on Iran
He got us out of the stupid arse Paris climate accords which were a big redistribution of wealth scheme.

* He did not keep nearly any of his promises even when he had GOP votes in both the Senate and House. For example, he did not build a wall and Mexico did not pay for it.

* Trump railed against elite universities that he said were “paying more to hedge funds and private equity managers than they are spending on tuition assistance.” He vowed to “push colleges to cut the skyrocketing cost of tuition.” But his administration did nothing to help average Americans afford the nation’s best schools.

* He said he’d release his tax returns. He never released his tax returns.

* He did not censure the government of Saudi Arabia for killiing a Washington Post Opinion columnist in their Embassy in Turkey.

* After pulling out of the Paris climate accord, he said he’d negotiate a better deal on the environment. He hasn’t attempted to negotiate any deal.

* He would never admit a mistake. A normal person would just laugh things off, but he would always double down.



* He said he would hire "The Best People" and the people he hired - well, if they were the best people I would hate to see what the worst people are like.

* In rallies Trump claimed he and his administration would always protect people with pre-existing conditions. When elected Trump administration and Republicans repeatedly put forward bills and filed lawsuits that would weaken Obamacare’s protections for preexisting conditions.

* At different times throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump said* he was going to “bring back” coal and “put the miners back to work. In 2016, the US produced more than 728 million tons of coal. The most recent available report indicates the US produced 706 million tons of coal in 2019, its lowest level since 1978.

* At a 2016 campaign rally, Trump said, “My first day, it gets signed, okay? My first day. There’s no more gun-free zones.” Tthis was never accomplished.

* In 2016, Trump called for enacting a five-year ban “on all executive branch officials lobbying the government for five years after they leave government service.” Within his first week, Trump signed the “Ethics Commitments by Executive Branch Appointees” executive order. The order contained a loophole. The order only required appointees to pledge that they will not “engage in lobbying activities with respect”

* He said "I'm going to issue a lifetime ban against senior executive branch officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government.” On his way out of Washington, President Donald Trump revoked his lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying for foreign governments.

* Trump Said - "I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.” A Washington Post analysis published Aug. 10, 2020, found that Trump at that point had spent all or part of 383 days of his presidency at his Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Fla., and his golf club in Bedminster, N.J.
