    Actually, I think we need to remind them that they are not Republicans but a third party using the Republican name.

    You:

    Democrats did it, but it was reactionary, and they didn't mean it. And they like puppies

    Also you:

    Republican did it, they are the scourge of the earth and deserve a slow painful death.


    Literally.

    Not like any Democrat would do that, huh? :rollleyes:
    What a crock. Things are getting so dark for your side you're producing tripe you'd have been embarrassed to post a few months ago. Indictments are only claims about what the prosecution THINKS they're going to prove; and in this case food for ridiculous and uprooting laughter on the part of many other professional prosecutors.

    Garbage. You know the difference between between words and action or are you, like Kevin, pretending you don’t?

    Who cares about Kevin? I'm focused on the condescending crapola about "hillary denying election is OK but trump denying election BAD"
    When I see hypocritical BS, its gonna get called out. DEAL!!

    I could be way off base here but I think most of Hillary's complaints about Don's legitimacy came after the info of the extent of Russia's influence campaign against her and for Mr. Indictment 2023 came out. Largely due to Mueller's report on the "sweeping and systematic" Russian interference. AND, her understandable outrage at the Orange Menace's willing, traitorous acceptance, indeed solicitation, of the interference.

    Hopefully, conservatives can see thru the disingenuous narrative Trump's prosecution is about "disagreeing" with him. Jeebers, what a monumental lie that is.

    Plus, having both of his campaign managers be UNREGISTERED FOREIGN AGENTS with eastern European connections is more than slightly objectionable, plus pretty strong evidence in itself.

    Think? We have testimony, texts, emails, FROM REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP STAFF.

    Proving won't be too hard. Sorry 'bout that.

    THat, too, but but Palast's work I believe was circulated in Dem party circles. If not, it should have been.

    When democrats concede they lost the elections they thought they should have won it's ok. When republicans stage a violent insurrection and conspire to overturn the results so they can make their guy a dictator because they REFUSE to accept vote certified by REPUBLICANS, dozens of court decisions and the report of advisors, attorneys and investigators that they THEMSELVES hired... it's not ok.

    Anything new you just discovered?

    Those may have been useful in the House's Kangaroo Court, in an actual court with defense counsel, cross examination, and actual laws, maybe not so much.

    While no equivalency can be 100%, there are still many things both have in common.

    1. Both used their influence and reach to cast doubt in the minds of their supporters.
    2. Both are sore losers.
    3. Both are disgusting people who should never hold more power than you would allow your worst enemy.
    4. Both exploit division.

    OMG - I totally muffed that one.

    Manafort was an unregistered foreign agent of Ukraine, taking in $17M for his work, including during the Trump campaign. He also got stuck for money laundering.

    I was thinking that Flynn had that role for a period. He was a Trump insider during the election when Flynn was an unregistered foreign agent of Turkey. After the election, he was US National Security Adviser(!)

    Also, Gal Luft was an unregistered foreign agent associated with the Trump campaign.

    But, neither of these last two were actually in charge of Trump's 2016 campaign, I believe.

    I'll work on doing better that that!

    We'll see about that.

    Of course, the Dem house jan 6 committee was 'kangaroo', but not the House repub committee who claims to be investigating the 'weaponization' of the DOJ, but they are weaponizing congress, putting taxpayer dollars on a wild goose chase and they come up empty. We got TONS of proof, much of which is IN THE INDICTMENTS

    Sorry 'bout that, but there it is.

    Politicians try to persuade their supporters to share their view. So?
    There's a big difference between complaining that you lost though you won by more votes, and losing by fewer votes
    and not accepting the vote,. and going around the country spreading lies about the election being stolen, and doing it at rallies incessantly
    Trump is, by far, a much worse human being, a criminal.

    This idea that you are trying to paint them both as people of comparable magnitude defies the facts.

    The main one being January 6.

    There are thousands of elected officials in the US. The original post did not specify presidents.
    Not at all. I disagreed with the premise that only republicans are at fault.

    Yep.
    The J6 Committee was hand picked by Pelosi. No defense counsel was allowed and hearsay abounded.
    Sorry, you partisanship trumps other character traits.
