[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can draw a straight line from:

Joseph McCarthy to Roy Cohn to Fred Trump to Donald Trump. Roy Cohn counseled the Trumps on how to evade the law, tell outrageous lies, accuse your enemy of whatever you’re doing, and to make anyone who crossed them as miserable as possible so they’d think twice about doing it again.

And from Richard Nixon to Roger Stone to Paul Manafort and Donald Trump. It was Stone who first proposed that Trump run for office, and Stone was involved in the planning of January 6th. Manafort was a Trump campaign strategist and was Trump’s campaign manager who succeeded Corey Lewendowsky in 2016. Manafort failed to register as a foreign agent and was instrumental in connecting Trump and Jared Kushner to foreign contacts, which initiated the Russian connections.

And from Donald Barr to Jeffrey Epstein and to his own son, Bill Barr. Jeffrey Epstein was hired by Bill Barr’s father to teach math at a private school, with seemingly no prior experience or particular qualifications. Epstein later became a personal acquaintances of Donald Trump’s and was a sex offender and human trafficker. Bill Barr served as the US Attorney General for both George H W Bush (father of George W) and for Donald Trump. He misrepresented the findings of the Mueller Report to the American people for Trump’s benefit.

And from Ken Starr, the independent counsel who exhaustively investigated the Clintons, to Rod Rosenstein and Alex Azar, who investigated Whitewater, and Brett Kavanaugh, who was one of the investigators and principal authors of the Starr Report, which ultimately led to Bill Clinton’s impeachment for lying under oath about his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, which had nothing to do with Whitewater. Trump later appointed Rosenstein to Deputy Attorney General, Azar to Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

From George W Bush to Neil Gorsuch to Donald Trump. Gorsuch, of the Justice Department, defended the Bush administration’s terror and torture policies, fighting to prevent the public disclosure of the abuse at Abu Ghraib and the detention of terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay. Trump appointed Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.

If you ccombine Cohn’s brand of showmanship, retribution and smear campaigns, Nixon’s corruption, Reagan’s economic policies (the rich get richer and the economic disparity between the wealthiest Americans and everyone else grows exponentially; services are cut and the people who need them reviled), dirty tricks from the playbooks of people like Lee Atwater and Karl Rove (who got George W Bush elected, after George HW Bush gave Rove the title of Chairman of the College Republicans, following accusations of Rove’s cheating in the election), the Federalist Society’s ideology (Project 2025), the fake-it-till-you-make-it tenacity of Ken Starr, the willingness to justify the unjustifiable of Neil Gorsuch, the foreign connections of Paul Manafort, a Jeffrey Epstein level of respect for women, and the racism of Fred Trump (Donald’s father who was arrested on the street when Klansmen were being rounded up after a rally and who refused to rent properties to Blacks), what do you get? Donald Trump.

He is the sum of all who came before him and a natural step in the progression of the Republican Party. He didn’t ruin the Party; he is the Frankenstein of Party’s creation. To argue about whether Trump is worse than previous Republican presidents is to obfuscate their role in Trump’s rise to power. They made a Trump presidency possible. Don’t forget that when you assess the damage they’ve done to America.[/quote]

And then there is Joe frickin Biden. The unfit jerk who let his greed for power give Frankenstein an easy victory in 2024 so that now we get to endure another term of the worst POTUS ever AKA Frankenstein.[/quote]
Biden wasn’t qualified to serve a second term and definitely should not have run again. You can blame Joe Biden for a Republican winning in 2024, but you can’t blame him for that Republican being Trump. More reasonable Republican candidates ran. The GOP rejected them — the same GOP that wouldn’t hold Trump accountable for January 6th by making him ineligible to hold office again. The Republican Party owns Trump’s second term.[/quote]

You can blame the idiots who supported the nomination of Biden in 2020 for putting the country in the situation of having an unviable incumbent basically gifting the worst POTUS ever a 2nd term in 2024. Duh duh... never saw that coming duh[/quote]
Those same “idiots” prevented Trump from being re-elected in 2020. In January 2021, the GOP refused to make sure Trump could never hold office again. The Trump problem could have been solved in between Biden’s win in 2020 and Biden’s announcing his 2024 candidacy, but GOP Senators wouldn’t do it and 2024 GOP primary voters refused all other candidates, and GOP judges gave felon Trump some cover. Trump’s second term isn’t anyone else’s fault. The blame lies squarely on the Republican Party.[/quote]

They must be pretty convinced that either the party will never end or that the democrats will once again take the high road.

We need to make sure that we elect Democrats that will step up to make sure that the traitor party ends and that the Republican collaborators are properly punished for it.[/quote]

Why do we need to elect democrats? They SUCK at everything they run. All the cities they run are in shambles. Crime up, economic development down, constant financial graft and payoffs like Chicago politics on steroids, grievance and racial politics to consolidate power, people fleeing donkey blu states, constant handouts because that's all their little Marxist hearts know.

What is it you offer again? Can you offer anything other than lawyers and community activism?[/quote]

Why do we need to elect Republicans? They SUCK at everything they run. All the red states are in shambles, poor, and uneducated. etc etc etc[/quote]

Republican and Democratic politicians suck. This point has been well established and fully proven in recent years. Let's move on now, boys and girls.[/quote]
Sorry, no “both sides.” They are not equally corrupt or equally bad for mankind.[/quote]
