I hope you are not serious lol

Sadly I don't think he is joking ... The alt right only accepts sources that validate their beliefs as factual news outlets 

 

God himself could declare something and they would fact check him against Newsmax first

If you had said  “or” I would have understood your point. I wouldn’t have agreed with it but I would have understood it. Yes SD is a 15 minutes of fame person but she is also a porn star that Trump paid hush money.


 

Damn, did you just “you guys me”?

:classic_laugh:

 

 

I guess it depends on your definition of "fame", but I'm thinking there's significantly more more than 15 minutes of it....:classic_unsure:

Ok maybe I can't believe Wayne but Jennifer sounds believable.  After all, she's a Vegan mom of three boys and FFI Culinary Student

 

And she's quoting a comment made by Mark Meadows to Maria Bartiromo.....

 

Can't get a better source of "facts" than that....:classic_rolleyes:

I saw Trump's video on CNN on Jan 6.   I believe it was shown on all news outlets.   Maybe you missed it while only following Twitter.

 

Yes, he called for peace and law and order.  A great many of us have what we feel are valid concerns over things that happened just prior to Trump making that video after finally succumbing from pleas from all corners to actually say something to defuse an unprecedented and deadly situation.

I remember it too.

 

Dont know wtf that poster is going on about.

 

Here is the footage

And the house commitee's findings..

https://apnews.com/article/capitol-siege-panel-hearing-3e3dc618ed8cee37147cf6a792c0c0fa

'WASHINGTON (AP) — Despite desperate pleas from aides, allies, a Republican congressional leader and even his family, Donald Trump refused to call off the Jan. 6 mob attack on the Capitol, instead “pouring gasoline on the fire” by aggressively tweeting his false claims of a stolen election and celebrating his crowd of supporters as “very special,” the House investigating committee showed Thursday night.

The next day, he declared anew, “I don’t want to say the election is over.” That was in a previously unaired outtake of an address to the nation he was to give, shown at the prime-time hearing of the committee.

The panel documented how for some 187 minutes, from the time Trump left a rally stage sending his supporters to the Capitol to the time he ultimately appeared in the Rose Garden video that day, nothing could compel the defeated president to act. Instead, he watched the violence unfold on TV.'

Trump never gave order to deploy National Guard ahead of January 6, former defense secretary testifies

Trump Did Float Idea Of 10,000 Troops Jan. 6 — To Protect Him On Capitol March: Committee

 

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-did-float-idea-10-004609956.html

 

 

Fact Check: Did Pelosi Reject Trump’s Request for National Guard Troops on January 6?

https://thedispatch.com/article/fact-check-did-pelosi-reject-trumps-request-for-national-guard-troops-on-january-6/

 

“The speaker of the House does not have the power to block an order from the commander in chief,” Drew Hammil, deputy chief of staff for Pelosi, told The Dispatch Fact Check via email. “This is fiction.”

 

Josh Huder, a senior fellow at Georgetown University’s Government Affairs Institute, similarly told The Dispatch Fact Check that “the speaker does not have control of any branch of the armed services.”

 

“The National Guard can only be activated by the president or a governor,” Huder added. “In the case of D.C., it can only be mobilized by the president of the United States.”

 

A statement from Ryan McCarthy, secretary of the Army under Donald Trump, on the “National Guard response to timing and coordination with other States,” does not mention Trump’s request for a National Guard presence, nor does it mention anything about Pelosi rejecting the alleged request. A section of the statement reads: 

 

During a rapidly evolving situation Wednesday Jan. 6, the Department Defense was fielding uncoordinated calls from hundreds of elected officials requesting and offering assistance to respond to the unprecedented breach of the U.S. Capitol Building. The Army and the D.C. National Guard were coordinating with the federal Capitol Police and the local D.C. Metropolitan Police Department to assist with an immediate response. Secretary McCarthy first spoke with Governor Hogan at 4:40 p.m. on Jan. 6, where he thanked Governor Hogan’s offer to provide support. Secretary McCarthy thanked Gov. Hogan for his support and ensured him his service members will be taken care of and provided a point-to-point contact.

Trump has not given up a single.thing for any of us

Your either a second rate troll.or seriously brain washed... Maybe a mix of both

 

When he trashed the gold star family in his first campaign any freedom loving person who honors their military should have been done with him and his rubbish forever 

 

He never served in actual duty ... Completely shit in soldiers taken prisoner.

It's Trump that thanks you for so blindly and obediently worshiping him as your lord and savoir ......

Tell us your in a cult without telling us your in a cult lol

Will have to agree to disagree there but it will be interesting to see how voters respond when the time comes

 

Disagree all you like. Measures are taken based on lower court rulings all the time. The courts wouldn't decide anything if it was just assumed that rulings would be appealed and possibly overturned.

IMHAO these court challenges to His Orangeness will only serve to galvanize his supporters. Sadly they will only come out more.
Fortunately the Rats have Biden, who is clearly a much better candidate and man and person than The Orange Ass Clown. So Biden will win again. The world will be a lot better off with Biden than with the Oinker.
