@Jolly Didn't realize how flexible you are bending over backwards... just imagine for a second, try to, that the President not accepting his loss was Obama and the crowd was a bunch of libs, and they broke into the capitol by smashing their way in, fighting police, and looking to capture Boehner. I'd have the same reaction I do now, would you?

No, I do try to be fair.
You've swallowed the MSM line hook and sinker. Once you do that, you're like any other caught fish. It's just a matter of how they play you, until they land you in the boat.

Stephen Schwarzman — chairman, CEO and co-founder of private-equity giant Blackstone — says in a statement to Axios that he's defecting from former President Trump for the 2024 presidential race.
Driving the news: "America does better when its leaders are rooted in today and tomorrow, not today and yesterday," Schwarzman says.
"It is time for the Republican Party to turn to a new generation of leaders and I intend to support one of them in the presidential primaries."
Why it matters: This is a major defection by a GOP megadonor who was close to Trump — very engaged with him on trade issues — and had real pull in the Trump White House.The big picture: It's the second GOP megadonor to come out against Trump in two weeks.
Ken Griffin — the billionaire founder of the Citadel hedge fund, who had praised Trump policies — endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis last week.
Griffin, who moved Citadel's headquarters to Miami this year, told Bloomberg yesterday that Trump is a "three-time loser."
Between the lines: Two of the country's largest and most influential Republican donors are looking for a next-generation candidate.Trump doesn't need the money. But the statements by Schwarzman and Griffin are likely to give cover and backbone to some Republican elected officials to move on.

I think he's got $100M in his campaign warchest, so he doesn't need the big donors, as much as he needs the continued support of the small donors.

Have you donated yet since his announcement to run in 2024?

Journalism dies in the
opinion pagescopying one another.:
And NPR repeats the lie:
" he inflamed racial tensions like when he said there were "very fine people" on both sides of a white nationalist protest in Charlottesville, Va., where a counter-protester was killed"
-
Honestly, I have no problem with the headlines. Americans should never forget a President's refusal to accept an election loss. Never.
That being said, you are right about the NPR write-up, specifically this paragraph.
The foundation of Trump's 2016 candidacy and ensuing presidency was nativism — he campaigned on building a wall to keep Spanish-speaking immigrants out of the United States; in his early days in office, he banned people from some mostly Muslim countries from coming to the country; he inflamed racial tensions like when he said there were "very fine people" on both sides of a white nationalist protest in Charlottesville, Va., where a counter-protester was killed; and he regularly exaggerated dangers to trigger anger and fear in many Americans.
First, it's written like, by a 7th grader, like, totally, like ya know? Second, while I certainly disagreed with Trump on a number of topics (election denial, handling COVID early on, 3rd grade insults) the items listed above are very much inaccurate. I had no problem with his effort to secure the border in regards to illegal immigration, ban certain countries from sending people to the US (presuming there is a valid national security reason), and indeed there were many fine people on both sides of the Charlottesville event. Then again, as a native Virginian, I have more respect for Robert E Lee than probably most of the country.

He acted like a spoilt, whiny little brat when he lost the election, which perhaps isn't particularly surprising, but certainly isn't what I'd want as a head of state.
I'm not sure the headlines are particularly egregious.

And was still better than most of his opponents.
