Turned the sound down on MSNBC while they interview a traitor supporter

What exactly did traitor do for the country? He didn't do anything for the people I know, but still, many of them rave about what he did for the country.

I know what he did to the country, but I just don't know what he did for the country. Except sell it out to the highest bidder.

1. What he did was, he made it OK again for them to beat up on gay people and POC

I have come to believe that that’s what they mean when they say all the great things he did for the country. They mean them, white supremacists

2. He had several Infrastructure Weeks, never built anything but a few miles of wall.

Mexico never paid for the wall as promised either. He brought back the 1950s where it was cool to be a
racist asshole.

The magas talk about the economy under Trump, like the final year didn’t happen at all. The pandemic is no excuse, Biden had to deal with the same pandemic when he came in the office. And I remember the 50s and I don’t wanna go back there

I think 11 charts on the Trump economy that looked pretty good. But it was on the first 2 1/2 years like the last 1 1/2 never even happened.

3. Economically, he kept the ship pointed in the direction Obama sent it.

Autopilot. Interest rates were basically nothing. All he had to do was nothing and he excelled at that.

He delivered a majority troglodyte SCOTUS, and packed the courts with Federalist Goons. He had basically nothing to do with any of that, either.

6. He had everything to do with packing the courts...

…HE turned selection of judges completely over to the Federalist Society - who gave him a list to choose from. And he orchestrated the resignation of Justice Kennedy - a very suspicious resignation, indeed. It was a dirty deal, to be sure.

So yea Shitler had a LOT to do with packing the courts - in tandem with The Federalist Society.

8. I give more credit to McConnell

but OK. "turning it over to the Federalist Society" is making 1 decision. If he gave it more than 10 seconds of thought I'd be shocked.

15. I give the "credit" for that to McConnell, too.

McConnell can't stand Trump, but I believe he played Trump like a violin to get the conservative judges he wanted appointed. I've always thought Mitch was in control of that whole process. Trump probably never even bothered to read the recommendations the Federalist Society sent over. We know how lazy he is, and that he's either functionally illiterate or just hates to read.

Sure, Trump signed off on everything, but that's about all he did.

Their vapidness and aphasia is staggering.
