After several rounds of fruitless “discussion”, there is one recurring topic that needs clarification.

In most conversations about Trump, I have described him as an “arrogant blowhard who doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut – and won’t be invited over to the farm anytime soon”. However, I recognize that his policies while in office were vastly better and had this country in a much better place and standing on the world stage. Especially now, with his opponent incoherently wandering around in his chemically induced haze embarrassing us on a daily basis, while HIS policies have us involved in multiple wars, swamped in massive debt, energy dependent with depleted reserves (to buy votes), a wide open border and out of control crime.

However, it doesn’t matter. ANY affirmation of Trump policy or questioning of a Biden action results in the “Ultra-MAGA Extremist” label, complete with assumptions that we only get our info from Fox News, spend all day seeking every word/speech/statement he utters, while we are slamming our coal fired 4x4s through protected wetlands on our way to militia training to learn guerilla tactics on how to bring down an F15 with our fully automatic scary black rifles w/100 round magazines. After training, we return to our bunkers where we declare our devotions to him beneath our Trump poster hanging over beds.

The truth? We have no Trump bumper stickers. We have no Trump signs displayed anywhere. We don’t listen to any of his speeches or statements. We have never attended his rallies and have no intention of doing so.

We don’t watch Fox News but I do enjoy Gutfield or The Five clips on YouTube occasionally. This is especially relevant now that they are claiming everything you see with your own eyes is a deep fake manipulation.

There is no propaganda machine leading us astray, echoing his insecurities as we blindly fall for his “Gospel of Fear“. Many of us have simply been

PAYING ATTENTION

to the events of the past several years, we remember what was said and reported then, and we gauge that against what is being reported now.

The only time I even pay attention to anything he says is when he is misquoted (like the “bloodbath” comment that was widely circulated but instantly debunked). In those cases, I seek proper context to learn the truth but in actuality, he is as hard to listen to as Kennedy. At least Kennedy can blame his irritating (Katherine Hepburn) voice on past throat issues whereas Trump is just generally irritating.

Like I said, none of that matters if you refuse to swallow their Kool Aid.

To put into context, I asked this question to a regular detractor (since banned here for refusing to back up any of her claims in violation of the site rules):

So, if anyone who disagrees with you is an Ultra MAGA Extremist, can we then assume that ALL of you support terrorists and are for the extermination of all of the Jews?

Sadly, it’s no surprise she didn’t understand the connection and it flew over her head – like every major story for the past 8 years.

Except no one knows (even now) what that additional crime was. Care to name it? How can anyone defend against a crime that hasn’t been disclosed?

No, arrogance is someone:

• who proclaimed we should believe all women – unless they are named Tara Reid or Ashley Biden.
• someone who said everyone should be vaccinated to stop the spread of COVID and should be excluded from society if they are not.
• someone who claimed the Hunter laptop story was faked and bought into the 51 intelligence officials letter that it was Russian disinformation.
• someone who claims the meetings, conversations and transactions disclosed on the laptop (EVIDENCE) didn’t prove Biden did anything illegal.

I could go on but it is obvious you are unable to absorb anything that counters what you have been told by the unconvicted felon.

I know the above sounds like “I told you so” but you must have a titanium blast cover on your echo chamber to continually be wrong about so much and yet feel emboldened to ridicule others who got it right.

Here are just a few avenues for appeal that are probably “news” to you:

• A handpicked highly partisan “judge” orchestrated for a sure conviction.
• Nullified change of venue request to keep trial in highly partisan Manhattan where no “jury of YOUR peers” was remotely possible.
• Jurors NOT sequestered in likely the highest politically charged case heard in a long while.
• Charged for a minor misdemeanor (where the statute of limitations had long since expired) that was elevated to a felony by being tied to another crime that was never disclosed.
• All 34 counts for legitimate and legal financial transactions and entries. Only being judged here due to the coupling with the “other” undisclosed crimes that couldn’t be contested by the defense because they were never revealed.
• Lack of any corroborating witnesses. Prosecution witnesses that did testify soundly refuted the testimony of the primary witness, a known serial liar and convicted felon who even admitted to stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the defendant.
• Defense witnesses censored, harassed, repeatedly threatened with contempt.
• Former chairman of the Federal Election Commission refused to be allowed to testify. Dismissed as being irrelevant to the case when the subject at question was election law.
• Yet, a porn star (who owes Trump over half a million dollars) was allowed to articulate her juicy details to the court that had no bearing whatsoever on the financial transactions being questioned.
• New evidence allowed to be introduced by the prosecution during closing arguments with no recourse for the defense to address or cross examine.
• Fraudulent jury instructions providing the ability to convict on any additional charge whatsoever. They didn’t have to unanimously agree on what transpired or which laws were allegedly violated.

There are so many issues above that can result in this being thrown out. I just wonder which they will base it on. I also doubt it even needs to reach SCOTUS before it is reversed. Any of the appeals courts below that level could and should end this. All because his name is Donald Trump and he dares to question the idiocy in DC.

The only positive for the unconvicted felon is that he now has the excuse to slink out of the debates – even though he never had any intention of entertaining us by following through anyway. However, I look forward to Trump and Kennedy following through with an empty suit propped on a vacant chair. Actually, that likely gives the unconvicted felon a better chance than if he would participate.

The negatives are already piling up. Besides, refilling Trumps election coffers with 55 million dollars in 2 days, the first of many polls dropped showing the expected INCREASE in those now voting for Trump. Like Trump articulated, this is no longer about him and many holding their noses and switching their votes recognize what transpired and recognize the real “threat to democracy” in action. Like myself, they can still not care for the person, but realize this was clearly a witch hunt (as Zakaria points out) and are greatly alarmed it was allowed to happen. There WILL be more polls released in the coming days to reinforce that, since it has been the trend throughout this lawfare process.

I just hope all remember this come early next year when the roles are reversed now that the bar has been dropped to the floor. As a commenter recently correctly exclaimed, “clearly, the loser of this election is going to jail”. That’s our new banana republic folks!

So, they’ll continue to play their games by scheduling the next steps to conflict with the campaign as much as possible. You know – interfering in the election to “save democracy“. And when they see THAT is not working as the next polls spike even higher for Trump, they’ll release another virus or orchestrate some other event to suspend constitutional rights so the unconvicted felon is the only choice – just like in Russia!

So, if folks still prefer the unconvicted felon, a Biden victory will mean more wars, crashing the economy and continued encouragement for the godless, depraved Left to drag America into an immoral cesspool while tightening their control over every aspect of our lives.

I have yet to find a legal scholar or expert in any camp that thinks this trial was on the up and up. Most all are troubled by the blatant bending of the rules to arrive where we are today. Even MSM agrees and folks see right through it.

No matter. This will most certainly be thrown out on appeal. The only issue is which blatant offense they base their judgement on. They have their pick of several. What’s not a surprise (except to the cronies applying this “justice”) is this will surely put Trump over the top in the upcoming contest.

As with every other charge or accusation, misrepresented out of context quote or full blown lie declared, it has only made Trump stronger.

I can’t wait for the next polling data.

Have to give them credit. As crazy as this world is these days, they still find an angle for satire. Sadly, some out there will think it is true.

Archie Bunker knew what he was talking about.

I’ve never been much of a fan of twitter (X). However, it seems that every visit is an endless stream of leftist gaslighting (even though I do not follow any of those posting these toxic fumes). The saving grace is every post is inundated with 99% of the replies calling them out on their misinformation.

MSM is no better.

• Trump predicts ‘bloodbath’ if he loses 2024 election, ramps up anti-migrant rhetoric
• Trump says there will be a ‘bloodbath’ if he loses the election
• Trump Says There Will Be a ‘Bloodbath’ and Elections Will End if He Isn’t Reelected
• Trump says country faces ‘bloodbath’ if Biden wins in November
• Mary Trump’s Dire Warning After Donald Trump’s ‘Bloodbath’ Remark
• An Even Darker Trump: Warns Of ‘Bloodbath’ If Not Elected
• In Ohio, Trump warns of ‘bloodbath’ if he doesn’t win election
• Donald Trump talks about ‘bloodbath,’ attacks immigrants as he rallies for Republican Senate pick in Ohio

So, for those of you that STILL get your opinions from The View, Kimmel or Colbert, here is the context they won’t tell you.

Apparently, it is using the term “bloodbath” that is setting them off.

Really?

As I often respond, fewer and fewer are believing their BS anymore and every time they try something like this, they only manage to increase Trumps lead as those newly awakened souls emerge from their echo chambers alarmed at the level of gaslighting they have been subjected to. Hence, the record mistrust and rejection of the MSM. I always end my responses with a polite request to keep it up as it is doing wonders educating the public.
