The answer to the lie being pushed by Fox and the GOP to distract from Trump's 37 count indictment




The lie: President Biden is having the DoJ go after TFG because he is worried about him as a political rival.
The facts: The DoJ is going after TFG independently from any input from President Biden or the White House
because TFG broke the law. The DoJ is not going after TFG because he is President Biden's rival they are
going after TFG because he broke the law.

It's not that hard to beat him in an election, why would we go through all this if it wasn't true Walleye Jun 2023 #1
Arguably, Trump would be easier to defeat than any of the other Republican candidates. n/t Yavin4 Jun 2023 #13
And this prosecution isn't deterring him from running, quite the opposite. Walleye Jun 2023 #16

For a measly $5 million. I like Joe’s answer. “Where is the money?” Also nobody has answered the question of why foreign national in their right mind would bribe a Vice President, who has no policy making power whatsoever. Obama was making the policy not Joe Biden. In 2013 or whenever they’re alleging, nobody expected Biden to ever be POTUS. I know we can’t expect logic, but geez.

It's just that those accusing him are as guilty or more guilty than he is. They are pathetic.

He had the chance to go after her & his cult was calling for her to be locked up, but he didn't.

He had congress his first term & what did they do? Try to reverse the ACA & get tax cuts for the rich & wealthy. They're all talk, all show, no action. The cult will never stray, but sometimes I think the biggest problem a lot of moderate repubs are having it admitting that they were duped by a con man. Some of them twice.

The law IS being enforced fairly.
.
'We the People' can see the evidence of criminal activities/actions (sworn to under oath) our government is accusing the ex-president of having committed. He even admits to many of the illegal activities/actions! Stay focused on the facts!
.

Again, do you believe your ex-president did not commit the criminal actions/activities he is accused of? Never let up.

The only people he doesn't hate and want to destroy are the rich. He'd even destroy his sycophants to get more $$ for the rich - it's what fascists do.

Lock her up.
Hunter lap top.

Their reptilian brains can't handle much beyond that.
Anyone, and I mean absolutely ANYONE, that identifies as a Trump supporter with a straight face is beyond redemption in my eyes.

To me, I won't be satisfied until the name "Trump" is as tainted and reviled as "Hitler" and that mention of their ideology is disqualifying for public service.

.. Fox, social media, and shit bags like Marsha Blackburn scratches the one itch they all have
and that is racism. And having your racism reinforced feels really good so they swallow the
lies and parrot them back on cue.

Just for the 14 million dead from C-19 world wide or all of CIA and other intelligence agents and
and contacts that are all dead or missing because Trump gave them up to our enemies. At the
very least he needs to die in prison.
