Show one post of mine where I supported his candidacy? I have repeatedly mentioned I voted for myself. If you consider my valid criticism of almost everything the Democrats party stands for as supporting Trump, feel free. I don’t.
Trump’s Presidency is covered in many stains. Just the mess is not as bad as what a Harris Presidency would have looked like IF the House and Senate went Dem as well.

As I’ve also mentioned many times, things go better when it’s either 2-1 Republicans or 2-1 Democrat. 3-0 results in many overreaches like we are seeing now.


You continue to avoid the question. Namely, Can you point to any of your public statements made contemporaneous to Donny's deposition, where you called it a stain on his Presidency? Did you hold his invoking the 5th back then to the same standard as you do of former Biden aides today?

Your refusal to answer the question shows how deeply hypocritical your morals actually are.

And yes, in my opinion the evidence shows you supported his candidacy in 2024. I was not around in 2020 or 2016 to speak on those elections, but I wouldn't be surprised.

As for the "stain," i.e. an action deemed unusual and not in a necessarily positive way:

per google...

"No U.S. President before Donald Trump has publicly invoked the Fifth Amendment during a deposition or testimony
.
Donald Trump himself invoked the Fifth Amendment numerous times in 2022 during a deposition related to a civil investigation into the Trump Organization's finances being conducted by the New York Attorney General's office.

While other presidents have faced various legal proceedings and given depositions or testimony under oath, there is no record of them invoking their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in such settings.

Trump once said pleading the Fifth was for ‘the mob.' "

You are what’s known as ‘a pip’. I don’t plan on following your command to scour my posts for ‘public contemporaneous statements’. How about this…. Show me a post where I supported his candidacy? You may be able to find posts of mine stating how bad it would be for the country under a Harris presidency, but as I’ve stated, that is NOT supporting Donald Trump. My VOTE was not for Donald Trump. I gave no donation to Donald Trump. I told no one to vote for Donald Trump.

Saying Donald Trump as President is better for the country than virtually any Democrat is not supporting Donald Trump. It’s just pointing out how bad the Democrats are, and ANY living human being with general Republican policies is better. Sadly for me, and the country, the Republicans chose Donald Trump.

You are still avoiding the question, because you are afraid of the answer. I dare you to state that Donny invoking the Fifth was a stain on him or his Presidency. I dare you.

You don't get to hid behind "I voted for me"...while then supporting his policies, his Presidency and his candidacy. Who did you vote for in your state's 2024 Presidential primary? You had a panopoly of candidates, including at least one living human being with general Republican policies.

Donny invoking the 5th is a stain on Donny. And thus his Presidency as well. I am never afraid to point out my embarrassment at having a man like Trump as our President. I did not vote in the primary. But if I would have I was a DeSantis supporter. When it was down to essentially Haley and Trump I wished for Haley to win.

So YOU are afraid to answer. Show me posts of mine where I supported his candidacy?

Took you long enough. What did you say about Donny invoking the fifth back then Did you express any opinion at all?

But you support his policies and actions as President now. You state that removing him from office now would be horrible for the country.

But you never cast your vote for either of those candidates. Silence is the voice of complicity. Where was your embarrassment when he ran a third time? Did you actively oppose his candidacy Hint": No, you didn't. Did you support efforts to kick him off the ballot due his support for the insurrection? Hint: No you didn't. You stated that the people should have the choice to elect him or not.

I've already stated that I'm not going back to 2016 or 2020. 2024 speaks for itself, as I've already addressed. You are embarrassed by having him as President again, but not too embarrassed to vote for opponent.

The 2024 election offered up only two unattractive candidates.

Many opting for the oaf did so because Harris was seen as a train wreck whereas Trump was a locomotive careening out of control, i.e. the proverbial "lesser of two evils."

Too bad John McCain never got a shot back in the day: he was a much better, much "bigger" man than Don the Con will ever be and he was moderate enough to keep the ship of state on an even keel: I wish the republicans could have offered up a more "sane" and moderate candidate in 2016 and after: instead we get a wannabe Stalin.

Harris would have taken advice and not pretend she knows all the answers. Also, would not have tried to take control of the culture at every level. She’s also not pompous baboon mimicking a human. She didn’t love dictators. She wouldn’t have been grifting half the nation with personal crap. And she couldn’t possibly lie half as much as the orange turd. And furthermore, the economy would have probably ticked up without all the f***ing nonsense. And she looks no more foolish than Trump dancing.

Sure, you might have to endure more “brown” people from the South. I don’t care —small price to pay.

We still haven’t stopped Iran from possibly making the bomb. There isn’t actually peace in the Middle East. We don’t have any more “deals” yet because of Trump’s braggadocio than we probably would have anyway.

We’ve not had hostile relations with Canada since around the founding. Half the world thinks we elected a fool.

And no one with any intelligence thinks trump can get anything done other than threats. Because he’s impotent. His wife probably hates him, and a dog would probably die of neglect.

I’m being too nice to him.
