Pure projection. The only person who shoukld be jailed for thw shameful incitement of the insurrection on the Capitol is Trump.

Trump has mentally lost it. He's in a meltdown.

Yeah, he sounds just like a dictator from a banana republic.

The old man is losing his grip on reality and is dangerous for America, and thus the world.

Embarrassing, childish, puerile idiocy. Typically. He has lost it: his mind and the election. I think he knows it and doesn’t care anymore, just in kicking all the toys over mode.

But Obama making a vulgar joke about the size of Trump's genitals during a speech at the DNC which was being viewed by school kids as part of their Social Studies class is apparently fine.

His supporters see themselves in him, wackos all

The title says it all. TFG is in rapid mental and political decline, and, as Politik Kills said, he’s in kicking-over-the-toys mode. And now he’s also throwing them out of the crib.
But, he’s justified in doing this because of Kamala’s laugh. Or Hunter Biden’s laptop. Or EVs and sharks. Or somethibg.
Anyway, looking forward to flaccid deflections of an equally imbecilic nature.

Only person will prosecuted is Trump,their have not been on piece of evidence that their is political collusion,these judges works under judicial commission that investigate allegations like this

70,000 health professionals signed a petition that he's mentally ill. his cult followers are also mentally ill.
they identify with him from a psychosis for relentless attention and constant need to prove their intelligence after being at the bottom of their classes in school as children.
his maga madness for today was saying that he'd have won in california in 2020 if jesus was the vote counter.
as james carville said, in a normal, humane world, rfk jr. and trump would be in mental institutions.

Oh my, how will his supporters defend this?
Rhetorical question. They will of course use Olympic level mental gymnastics.

“Trump is waging a secret campaign against enemies in the “deep state” and a child sex trafficking ring run by satanic pedophiles and cannibals.”
Some people actually believe Hillary is a ‘satanic pedohile cannibal’. It’s useful that they loudly announce such views, makes them easier to spot and laugh at.

This is sick stuff, even for Trump's typical gutter-level mind...
It's a clear sign that his already fragile hold on reality has completely collapsed...
His supporters better prepare themselves - he only has at best a few weeks before his brain shuts down and they haul him away in a straight jacket...
Of course, they'll deny the reality of that also...

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again—we’re too distracted by what/who Trump is or what he does/says, when we should be focusing on what he and his administration can do for the country.
—
90 million people will still vote for him. And then you have people like Patrick Mahomes’ wife and Lady Gaga’s father, who are also MAGA, supporting Trump—
It’s called real life—there’s nothing wrong with supporting someone who wants to put America first, rescue the economy, and make the American people feel safe.
sunfunbun
This alone, among all the many idiotic things Don Old believes in, demonstrates the insanity of Trump. He loves QAnon, his insurrection buddies.
He and his entire cult, whom believe everything MAGA, also agrees to this obsession of bigotry leading to conspiracy idiocy of QAnon and insurrection activity promoting their dictator.
At least I haven’t read any of them condemning Trump’s latest crazy. A train wreck of humanity, sad, so sad, further meltdown of him and his cult. Funny, but sad.

Claiming 90 million will vote for Trump isn't real life.
Except the only thing Trump puts first is himself. He couldn't care less about working class folks, which is why he's spent a lifetime ripping them off.
Yes, by jacking up tariffs on imports, deporting workers, and driving up the national debt by trillions. That'll be great for the economy. ;)

What Trump or his staff post on his social media that is targeted at his supporters, not you or the general public, is irrelevant to me. Free speech and memes and all. Whatever. Enjoy yourself!
what is relevant is Harris policies. All of which are nonsense or stolen from Trump or a complete flip flop from her policy 5 weeks ago.

Never has there been a US Presidential election as politically toxic, an assassination attempt on Trump
A Harris/Biden presidency intent on weaponizing the DOJ, the judiciary to circumvent the US constitution.
To criminalize an opponent, to deliberately prevent the US electorate from making a open and informed choice at the ballot box.
To witness "predator" Bill Clinton side by side, next to Kalama Harris at DNC, blurting out shamefully “for the people” as her campaign slogan, is frankly appalling in its hypocrisy, cynicism.

Nonsense. No one said it doesn't happen at all. There is no proof of outcome determinative voter fraud. It doesn't exist. These are silly conspiracy theories which rely on the notion that one side cheats more than the other, which isn't true.

No, it's not. You want somebody with character who can handle the unexpected. Under Trump Covid hit and he did a terrible job handling it. And most of that was due to his character. He was looking out for himself and his re-election, rather than looking out for America. Ironically, if he had looked out for America, he probably would have been re-elected.
Who cares? You must be pleased.

TFG has been a 9-year nightmare that has cost the American taxpayer bigly and remains an ever-present menace to public order and a threat to the future of freedom in America. A long custodial sentence for the grifting con-man who has exposed the broken US justice system where "equal justice under law" has not been applied to him nor to the many members of the political class conspiring with him, is the only way to put an end to the years of mayhem he has caused. An example must be made of this madman to deter future wannabe "Fuehrers".

She isn't, but Trump and Vance certainly are.

in all cases, they professionally and many times sensitively, explain that photography is not allowed in some sections.
political photos are strictly not allowed, but trumps goons started an altercation that is being described as the worst situation ever seen in the history of arlington cemetery.

Out of pure curiosity, I wonder which the MAGA crowd hate more:
Bill Clinton, who was unquestionably guilty of a serious misjudgment of character while in office, but who turned the economy around and left the US with a surplus (which the next guy then pi**sed away).
or
Barack Obama, a president who had essentially zero scandals in his two terms, but who also achieved significant political gains.
This puts them in a bind: they can bleat about "character" but also about "only results matter", so how do they parse the above two presidents?

The people she defended as a prosecutor disagree. She made a name for herself as one of the most effective prosecutors of child and adult sex crimes, winning cases with legal gambits no other prosecutor thought of. In one of her cases after putting two men in jail for raping a young girl who ran away from a home for troubled girls, she figured out the director of the program was pimping the girls out and put him and some of his staff in jail for a good long time. There are a lot of men deservedly in jail because of her legal acumen.
I'm sure that angers some so-called, cough cough, "men.
And there there is the deal she worked out with the lending industry to pay down underwater mortgages. The other state AGs were all willing to accept less. She refused and instead threatened to take the industry to trial. None of the other AGs had the courage to do that. She forced the industry to pay out tens of millions more than they originally agreed to. One think Kamala Harris is not is a pushover.
All Jupiter has ever done is run law enforcement down and disparage them. He fears her and well he should because he is exactly the kind of, cough cough, "man" (child) she has put in jail.

Here’s a short suggestion to the media.
Just inform us what Mr. Trump posted.
That’s it. We only need information. We do not need your opinion as to what he said nor your opinion as to who the American people should vote for in their next election.
Some dude
She made a name for herself as one of the most effective prosecutors of child and adult sex crimes,
I knew she was a prosecutor, but I didn't know that specific detail. Suddenly the reason for the MAGA / republican dislike of her becomes much clearer if you follow the thought process:
Right wing / MAGA types are more likely to be religious and to attend church.
Almost every day there's news of a pastor of some church or other being arrested for crimes along those lines. Obviously they're not the only ones who do it, but it's especially egregious given their position in society.
MAGA people can not conceive of anyone on "their side" being wrong about anything.
Thus, when someone (Harris, in this case) sends such criminals to prison, it hits way too close to home.
Wonder how many drag queens are in prison for such crimes?
