Stupid or evil?

If I was involved in this conversation with somebody I would give them their choice. Do you want us to think that you are stupid? Or do you want us to think that you are evil?

They had a choice in 2016. Elect a seasoned politician diplomat, bureaucrat—Or elect a power mad narcissist who clearly had very well documented ethical problems.

Trump supporters had to ignore an awful lot to vote for this guy. It has been worse than I could’ve imagined. Trump and his acolytes seem to get up every morning and try to determine how they can make the world worse.

This is a man who clearly failed to absorb any of the lessons that we all have to learn as children… How to play well with others, how to lose gracefully, Basic manners etc.

So, which is it? Are Trump supporters evil or they just simply stupid?

What they cannot be ever is solid citizens with good intentions and keen intellects. That ship sailed long, long ago.

Thank you

not sure what my favorite is… The fox sniffing the photographers butt...
or the wolf acting like an overly friendly labrador.

but thank you. I literally laughed out loud several times looking at these. Almost as good as cat videos.😂

put up or shut up

The justice department isn’t going to do Jack about this. There is no proof of any sort of widespread fraud that could have changed any race. Why are we still talking about this? What’s this little titty baby going to do when Monday comes? Is he gonna fucking nuke an American city.

this is going to pass. But this has revealed a very serious underlying problem with pretty much every police force in the nation. All of the police forces in the United States are infected with right wing ideas and sympathies. It showed again this weekend. The police stood by and let these domestic terrorists run rampant. This unfortunately, is very similar to the state that the Weimar Republic was in prior to the Nazis taking over.

Ken Paxton is a scofflaw

Ken Paxton has been and continues to be in a state of disgrace since before he ran for AG of Texas.

He is an indicted, but not yet convicted, felon--only because he has done everything in his power to avoid trial for multiple felony security fraud indictments. When you are the AG of the state that is trying to bring you to trial you can do quite a bit.

He is an extremely clever weasel who managed to hamstring his prosecution by having one of his allies to file a suit contending that the hourly rate being charged by the prosecution team (I still don't understand why the prosecution is being pursued by free lance prosecutors who bill @ $300 per hour) was excessive and, since that interrupted the flow of money, prosecution stopped.

This all happened before his campaign for reelection. He, of course, won with no difficulty. Being an accused felon is no bar to public office in Texas. Hell, it might even have helped.
