Anniversary of January 6th Insurrection
Against America
It's really very simple.
A person who calls reputable news sources FAKE NEWS when such organizations call him out on his lies or mistakes should not be president.
A person who asks the leader of another country to investigate a potential political opponent should not be president.
A person who uses inflammatory language to stoke the fires of anger and fear in his followers should not be president.
A person who watches violence perpetrated on our Capitol for over two hours and refuses to protect and preserve the sanctity and safety of the Capitol should not be president.
A person who promises to pardon most of the sentenced criminals who broke into a federal building and battled with police should not be president.
A person who deliberately purloined classified documents from the White House and refused to return such documents should not be president.
Any of the above actions should disqualify any individual from being president. Donald Trump has committed all of them. It's really very simple.

Donald's Truth Social soapbox will have to be upgraded. As with Facebook (Donald was kicked off of this platform due to his excessive lies and inflammatory language) right now users can only choose between lower-case and upper-case letters. The Great Deceiver of small minds often uses upper-case letters to emphasize some statement... it's tantamount to him yelling. In the past, he reserved his “yelling” for different phrases: DEEP STATE... FAKE NEWS... ELECTION RIGGING. Recently, the poor man has been worried about a number of possible upcoming indictments: one from Georgia, at least one from New York, and a couple from the DOJ.
He's more and more unhinged and his posts are increasingly more and more frenetic. Here's one he posted this week... all in CAPS (can you hear him yelling?): “I WAS BEING FRAMED BY THE FBI AND THE DOJ. NOW IT CONTINUES WITH THE BOXES HOAX, THE “PERFECT” PHONE CALL IN ATLANTA, THE MANHATTAN D.A., AND THE NEW YORK STATE A.G. SCAM. WHAT A GROUP, BUT ALL REPORT TO THE DOJ IN WASHINGTON. IT’S JAMES COMEY AND THE SLEAZEBAGS ALL OVER AGAIN. THEY ARE PLAYING ELECTION INTERFERENCE IN 2024 THROUGH ILLEGAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGAINST REPUBLICANS, IN PARTICULAR YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT, ME. THESE ARE CHEATING LOWLIFES, BUT WE WILL WIN. OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO HELL!”
No, he was not “FRAMED BY THE FBI AND THE DOJ”. Rather he was investigated by both since he had so many questionable connections with our arch enemy Russia.
BOXES HOAX? Really, Donald? You deliberately refused to hand over the purloined documents to the National Archives. You even bragged about how it was your RIGHT to take any materials with you. PERFECT PHONE CALL? You were pushing a state official to find just enough votes to carry the state for you. It's called election fraud and you were trying to get that official to commit that crime.
I have no idea what you mean by ELECTION INTERFERENCE IN 2024. You might be genius enough to see into the future but I'm not. You end with “WE WILL WIN”.
Of course, if you don't, you are already setting the stage for ELECTION FRAUD in that upcoming election with your ELECTION INTERFERENCE IN 2024. Finally, the country is not going to Hell. Actually on the day you wrote this illegal immigration was falling, the debt crisis was positively moving toward a bipartisan resolution, and President Biden gave awards to police who went above and beyond the call of duty to quell mass shootings.
So, why exactly does Donald need to upgrade Truth Social? Well, since he's yelling ALL THE TIME, he needs to somehow emphasize various incendiary phrases again. I suggest that he adds a bold-face option to his Truth Social. That way he could have CAPITALIZED and bold-faced “OUR COUNTRY IS GOING TO HELL!”. Ahh, that would have been REALLY LOUD SHOUTING.

When it's Appropriate, which this was,
I love a little sarcasm...
But I'd also like to claim that phrase...
Going to Hell...as a Lie
God has promised us So Much More!

L is for Liar.
In 1997, Bill Clinton said, “I did not have sex with that woman,” which, of course, was a lie. What he should have said was, “I did not provide dry-cleaning services for that woman.”
Perhaps the most famous (infamous?) lie of all came in 2003, when George W. Bush started the war in Iraq because “there were weapons of mass destruction” there. There weren’t; it was a lie. (Unless, of course, he believed it and, fifteen years later, he’s still looking for them, in much the same way O.J. is still looking for Nicole’s real killer).
Those political lies stand out because they were aberrations, not the norm. Donald Trump lies so often and so frequently that the truth stands out—or at least it will, if he ever tells it. Donald Trump tells all kinds of lies.
He tells lies of defamation (that Ted Cruz’s father was involved in the JFK assassination, for example); lies of dissembling, which is lying by posing as someone you’re not (Trump used to call journalists and pretend he was his own publicist); lies of deception (he fired Comey because of the “way he handled the Hillary email investigation”; even Trump didn’t believe that one!); lies of fabrication (he said Muslims in New Jersey were cheering on 9/11); and my favorite, bald-faced lies (for example, about the size of the crowd at his inauguration, in spite of aerial photos proving that what he was saying was patently false).
The truly fascinating thing is that Trump lies when it’s unnecessary and for no apparent reason. To this day, he carries on about how he was at the top of his class at Wharton Business School, a lie that (a) is not true, (b) was about something from fifty years ago, and (c) nobody cares about. If I said I was the Queen of Sweden from 1963 to 1964, it would clearly be a lie, but would you give a flying fuck? No. You’d just wonder why I would lie about something like that. Which brings us to the real problem with Trump’s lying: credibility.
If he’s lying about inconsequential things, how will we know if he’s telling the truth about big things, like a nuclear attack or a health pandemic or whether he’s hung like a horse, as he claims? It’s hard to trust someone who lies constantly. The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said it best: “I’m not upset that you lied to me, I’m upset that from now on I can’t believe you.” (He was deep.)
Donald Trump is like an adult version of the character in Aesop’s fable “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.” The boy lied and lied and lied about the wolf coming for his sheep, and then, one day, the wolf really did come, but nobody helped the boy fight the wolf off because they no longer believed him. In the end, the boy was eaten by the wolf. I think that if Trump keeps on compulsively lying, sooner or later no one will believe him, and he’ll get eaten by the wolf. And so will we, even though we have not been the ones doing all the lying. And that pisses me off.

Frankly, Folks, I believe Robert Sells when he states that It's Really Very Simple. But you don't have to believe Sells, Joy Behar...or Me...All you have to do is do your research. Nothing we've said can be proved...false... Now it's up to you to find out why the republican party continues to support a proven liar... And now has adopted his philosophy of not telling the truth. Sometimes we all need to reflect on the truth of it all... and how the violence was downplayed, ignored, or lied about... When the MAGA followers attacked our Nation...
