Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!
over 60 people were killed throughout the summer riots.
MILLIONS in damages to federal buildings.
100's of millions in damages to local businesses
Harris put together a bail fund for the criminals .. most times they were released right away.
the actions of Anti-Fakes and BLM during the summer were they same for 1/06/21 in DC. The FBI KNEW of the insurrection WEEKS before Trump gave his "peaceful / patriotic " speech.
the bombs were set days before the event at the capital buildings.
there is NO WAY that the summer riots were peaceful.. but the MSM didn't tell you that.Comment

Nikki Haley criticizes Trump and says he has no future in the GOP
Former US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley directly criticized former President Donald Trump for his involvement stoking the US Capitol riot in a new interview, a notable condemnation from someone who is widely viewed as harboring presidential hopes in a party that is still in thrall to Trump.
"We need to acknowledge he let us down," she told Politico magazine in an interview published Friday. "He went down a path he shouldn't have, and we shouldn't have followed him, and we shouldn't have listened to him. And we can't let that ever happen again."
Haley has often attempted to walk a fine line between allying herself with Trump -- who remains a hugely popular figure within the party -- while distancing herself enough to appeal to his Republican and moderate critics. She notably left his administration in 2018 on good terms with Trump, a contrast to many other officials who have publicly fallen out with their former boss.
In the Politico piece, Haley expressed anger over Trump's treatment of former Vice President Mike Pence on January 6 and said she hasn't spoken with Trump since then. Trump attacked Pence on Twitter that day for doing his duty of presiding over Congress' counting of the Electoral College votes, as the mob of supporters broke into the Capitol hoping to stop the certification, some of whom chanted death threats against Pence.
"When I tell you I'm angry, it's an understatement," Haley told Politico. "Mike has been nothing but loyal to that man. He's been nothing but a good friend of that man. ... I am so disappointed in the fact that [despite] the loyalty and friendship he had with Mike Pence, that he would do that to him. Like, I'm disgusted by it."
Asked how Trump should then be held accountable, Haley replied, "I think he's going to find himself further and further isolated."
"I think his business is suffering at this point. I think he's lost any sort of political viability he was going to have. I think he's lost his social media, which meant the world to him," she continued. "I mean, I think he's lost the things that really could have kept him moving."
The Senate could also consider a vote of whether to bar Trump from serving in public office, preventing him from running for reelection in 2024. Haley, however, predicted that Trump won't run for federal office again and that the former President will not have a future in the Republican Party.
"I don't think he's going to be in the picture," she said. "I don't think he can. He's fallen so far."
She acknowledged that "the love" Republicans have for Trump is "still very strong" and won't "fall to the wayside."
She continued, "Nor do I think the Republican Party is going to go back to the way it was before Donald Trump. I don't think it should. I think what we need to do is take the good that he built, leave the bad that he did, and get back to a place where we can be a good, valuable, effective party."
Although Haley left the Trump administration on good terms with Trump, she has occasionally spoken out about his rhetoric, even while supporting many of his policies. The day after January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol, Haley told members of the Republican National Committee in a closed-door speech that the President's actions after the election "will be judged harshly by history."
In the Politico piece published Friday, Haley said in January she's "deeply disturbed" by what's happened to Trump since the election, arguing "the person that I worked with is not the person that I have watched since the election."
"Never did I think he would spiral out like this. ... I don't feel like I know who he is anymore," she claimed.

Donald Trump's team didn't tell the truth about his Covid-19 illness
Donald Trump was far sicker with Covid-19 than the White House physician or his top aides let on, even to the point where there were concerns that the then-President would have to be put on a ventilator to deal with the illness.
The details of the previously unacknowledged severity of Trump's condition, which were first reported by The New York Times, are as unsurprising as they are appalling.
Throughout Trump's campaign for president and the four years in the White House, he and those closest to him repeatedly sought to obfuscate about his overall health -- setting new lows in the standards of transparency for our chief executive in the process.
... the ex President was given a heavy dose of experimental drugs to help him recover quickly from the virus. These drugs could have very well impaired his better judgement that led to his erratic behaviour in the final month of his Presidency. In a perfect world, VP Mike Pence should have taken over at that time.Comment

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!
When are you going to realize that it small group of anti Trump liberal activists that were causing the trouble? Marches on Washington DC have been used for decades. Or have you never heard of Martin Luther King's 1963 March on Washington. Or the "Million Man March" on October 16, 1995 called by Louis Farrakan?Comment

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!
I thought that you lived in Canada not Egypt. That is a lot of history that you are denying. Are you not aware that here in the USA February IS Black History Month. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month. And that includes President Trump.Comment

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!
I misspoke. The correct phrase is "denial is not a river in Egypt"
It refers to denial of the fact that Trump supporters waving flags and wearing MAGA hats and logos after listening to the ex President speak immediately walked directly to the Capitol Building and assaulted the same recorded in full view of the global media.Comment

Re: Just how Crazy is Donald Trump!
And the true facts are that you are denying that the actual assaulting has already been proven to have been by extremist opposed to President Trump who had planned it weeks possibly months in advance. You are also denying that the Democrat Party has been ignoring and in many cases encouraging, supporting and inciting violence against US citizens, police departments and federal government offices.Comment
