Hopefully with punctuation.

Yeah. That’s what we do around here. Take on ignorance. It’s even in our motto!
Just because someone was in the military doesn’t exempt them from being a traitor, of course.
I disagree, I think Trump will wait until the last possible minute to declare his candidacy.
The suspense and uncertainty is his brand, he’ll tease it out for as long as possible. Plus, his finances will come under much more scrutiny and the Trump PAC’s won’t be allowed to coordinate with him once he’s declared.
Heck, I’m wondering if he’s looking for a loophole that will allow him to run WITHOUT declaring his candidacy, kind of like the loophole he found that allowed him to hire crazy people that Congress would never approve by putting the word “Acting” in front of their job title.
Many traitors start out in the military after having been heros. What is with these people who cherish out country but no nothing of its history?
They’re Trumpers.
As Michael Flynn has amply demonstrated.
I don’t care if you have a chest full of medals, if you support DJT you are not a good American. Maybe in 2016 you didn’t know he was a monster so I’ll give you a pass. After 4 years, you should have known he was a Russian asset as well as a grifting liar. But after 1/6/21, you have no excuse. You either love DJT or you love America, you cannot possibly love both.
I tried to diagram this run-on sentence and my head exploded.
Actually, what he’s counting on is that he won’t have to run because the Supremes or somebody will declare that he has been president all along and that not only has Joe Biden never been president, Joe doesn’t even exist.
Beautiful.
There are alternate realities, and then there are whatever this is.
He thrusts his fists against the posts, and still insists he sees the ghosts.
Moderating:
Welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board, @Jordan41.
You are welcome to post your views. You are welcome to post them forcefully. You’re allowed to be wrong, and this community will set you straight best they can.
However, you’re not allowed to rant or insult posters, as your post has done, except in the Pit.
Here are the rules for participation in this Board:
Here are the specific rules for Politics and Elections forum.
I encourage you to acquaint yourself with them, or your stay with us will be short.
Thanks for that.
However, to be fair, when I’m grouped in with the rest of the Dope as “you ppl”… that’s not really an insult.
I hope.

I could have sworn this was in the Pit!
These “supporters” are paid by the word [I guess, only makes sense]. A wall of letters, cut and paste from the depths of their chosen conspiracy sites. It’s a bizzaro world they live in where every wholesale mean, vicious, underhanded, illegal tactic used by the GQP gets a “find and replace with Democrats”. Full on projection. Glad it’s just words [and not all CAPS, that would be rude] - this time. Next time, courtesy of the Thomas Supreme court, it will be Mr. AR-15 interrupting casual dining out at your favorite pizza parlor SAD.
I’d ask him, “What are the key points you have learned from the hearing so far?”, if I were wearing a face shield for all the spittle.
Oh, what the hell - I’ve got a few minutes for a forum-appropriate response.
These are hearings, not a trial. Nobody is “the accused” at this point. It is a presentation of evidence, not a prosecution. If the preponderance of evidence being presented - and bearing in mind that pretty much all the witnesses have been Republicans, many of whom were close to Trump and some of whom were his family - is so unilaterally damning, perhaps that’s an indication that the conclusion being drawn is a reasonable one.
This is rather ironic, given Trump’s background.
Trump and his followers also spent months telling his followers that they had to “stop the steal” and to “fight like hell” to do so. He praised them when they harassed and even attacked Democrats and independent election officials. On the day, his speech and the speeches before his encouraged his followers to “fight” in “trial by combat” and that it was their last chance to stop Congress from certifying the vote, and that if the vote got certified it would be “very bad”.
But if you carefully remove the word “peacefully” from the months of violent rhetoric and edit the evidence to pretend that it was the only significant word, I suppose one might not think Trump had exhorted his followers to violence.
A reminder that when Trump learned that his followers were hunting down Mike Pence and his family and building a gallows outside, he was somehow able to tweet (at 2:24pm on the day) “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what was necessary”, which only served to rile up his supporters further. He did not choose to tell his followers to go home until much later, and even when he did so he called them “special” and “great patriots” and told them “we love you”.
Because that didn’t happen. No, I’m aware that Sean Hannity said it did, but it didn’t.
No laws are being broken by either us or Congress. Trump, on the other hand, has demonstrably broken several over the years.
You’re lucky the diagram didn’t open an interdimensional portal and summon demons.
I feel very comfortable in saying that the majority of people who are active on this board are familiar with the ‘evidence’ that you claim supports Donald Trump.
But most of it has been debunked, is specious, doesn’t exonerate him in the way you might think it does, or – at the very least – doesn’t even come close to offsetting the tsunami of incredibly damning and highly credible information that this Committee has made public.
Also, the political make-up of the Committee was – de facto – decided by Kevin McCarthy. Some think he made a tremendous error in judgment in making the decision that he did make:
But I don’t see the progress of the Committee as being anywhere near as biased as the arguments you’ve put forth here.
I also don’t see anything in your post that even remotely resembles objectivity. You have summarily dismissed everything the committee brought forward and are, instead, relying on a very few, very flimsy pieces that you think support the person to whom you appear to maintain a tenacious – if incomprehensible – fealty.
ETA: TL;DR … But her emails …
But … y’know … welcome to the board !

Btw, I just shared the Zuckerberg ‘we’re banning Trump’ message with a cheery “Happy Independence Day” message to all my FB followers…
