I think what I see as a plus is Trump's ability to learn and adapt. While he was not my first choice and he is clearly flawed, this ability is huge in my eyes.
You simply cannot look at him and say he's dumb. He turned the nation's politics upside down in 2016. From 2021 through this year, he endured political persecution the likes of which have not been seen, at least in my knowledge of history. And now he's come in having a plan and hit the ground running like nothing we've ever seen.

People can come and go as they please. Or you can just block me if you wish.
The kind of disagreements and rhetoric we've seen lately is nothing new. it was the foundational principle of TNCR.

You say that, but if everybody left who finds your rage and bloodthirstiness tedious, you would have no more reason to post any of it. The feeling that you're upsetting people is the whole point.

Now if this poor man could afford the best attornies like his dear leader, he wouldn't have seen 1 day in jail.

Thank you for making a great point!
Regardless of where one landed on the January 6 scale, the Just-us Department threw unlimited resources at people who could not afford to defend themselves effectively against a legal tsunami. Many of the convictions were not based on simple justice - after all, who gets months or years in jail for trespass? - but on vengeance and a burning desire to teach those ruffians who is actually in charge. Sign the plea deal or we'll bankrupt you, take your home away and turn your family out into the street.

My point was the lack of justice on both ends of the spectrum. I am not discounting your post nor its validity, only pointing out something just as bad if not worse. Let's put the shoe on the other foot for a second. If Joe Biden had stayed in and lost the election but cried foul, that it was rigged, then staged a rally on January 6, 2025, telling his minions you have to fight if you want to keep your country, thus creating a bullrush to the Capitol where mayhem ensued. Then, deciding to carry off hundreds of this country's most classified documents home with him upon leaving the White House, how do you think you personally would have felt about his actions? And then seeing how his attornies use the system to delay delay delay justice?

There's always been a reasonable case to be made about how the election was affected by the Hunter laptop story, and how the swamp came out to disingenuously destroy its credibility. As for outright voting fraud, I mean beyond the invisible and untrackable fraud in the ID-free precincts, that's a much less supportable argument.
Education is extremely important.

Joe could cry foul, if they could have woke him up to do so.
Trump still thinks the 2020 election was rigged. I, and many millions besides me, think so, too.
I believe the last election helped prove that.

and I think that Santa Claus is real, and millions support my notion. I believe the presents under my Christmas tree helped prove that too!

That case only became reasonable with hindsight. Remember the laptop’s origins were so dicey that even FoxNews and WSJ passed on the story. That’s how it ended up at the NYPost.

@jon-nyc the intelligence community dunking on its credibility was always disingenuous, and we can know that they knew that at the time. Or maybe in your world, they made an honest and well intentioned mistake.

How can we know this?
@jon-nyc On the basic principle that when an expert weighs in on something, thereby abandoning the default position of "I don't know", and backs it with their credibility as black box thinkers with access to information and expertise that laymen do not have access to, and then they are proven wrong in retrospect, that those experts fell victim to a human failing. I'm uninterested in any attempt to disentangle motivated reasoning or tribal groupthink from outright dishonesty, because in the human mind, there is no bright line between them. In your world you can continue to believe that honest and well intentioned mistakes were made, while everybody else can see the convenience of that puzzle piece in your preferred narratives.

Actually if you reread the letter they weren’t even wrong. They stated outright that they’re had no direct knowledge of the whether the emails were real or not. What they said is ‘it had the hallmarks’ of a Russian disinformation campaign and it’s hard to argue otherwise.
