Is he explaining why he then fell into the trap of supporting Donald Trump? Or was his quote just sour grapes BS?

Just remember Everything Trump Touches Dies

Neither Biden or Harris were members of a seditious conspiracy, or violated their oath of office like Trump did on January 6th

No, its usually meh. Tulsi is playing an interesting role right now for herself.

She checks a lot of boxes (women, veteran, surfer), but she keeps trying to walk this outsider/tell it like it is crowd (hence her wimpy 'present' vote on impeachment) and as a result gets a fair amount of love from the right (The S Other Forum mentions her frequently), BUT, ironically I doubt most of them realized she is far from a centrist and she is basically Bernie Sanders on many of her high profile positions.

I don't dislike many of her positions (particularly on being less of a police state for other countries and being less interventionist), but as a candidate but she may have pissed in the DNC cheerios too much to get much traction beyond the Joe Rogan demographic.

Tulsi is like Liz Cheney, fell out of popularity a little on her own side, trying to make friends with the other party.

My point was, the lefties here implied that because even Liz Cheney criticizes Trump, that means Trump musty be bad. Fine. Using that same logic, if Tulsi Gabbard says that Biden and Harris are bad, they must also be bad.

Enjoying speaking with them doesn't mean he endorsed their systems of government. He obviously doesn't endorse communism or communist governments. In the response to O'reilly he referred to Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong-un as tyrants. He said he enjoyed speaking with many world leaders, but he felt he was more successful with the tyrants. That's probably why he enjoyed them more. As you know, he likes to be, or to consider himself to be, successful.

And it's not un-American for Trump to enjoy speaking to communists. On the other hand, one might question how pro-American and anti-Communist it is to be ideologically tied to the Communist party of the USA. As in the Democrat party allowing itself to be effectively supported by the Communist Party with whom they have an almost mirror image platform:

https://cpusa.org/article/people-pow...ox-and-beyond/

And as in the Democrat Party being infiltrated by the CPUSA which affirms loyalty to Beijing:

pete...better step up your misinformation campaign, maybe add a room in the basement bunker, as the nation is desperately relying on you to prevent trump from running in 2024....I heard brandon plans to try to retain his title....might need a new running mate tho'...pelosi would be an excellent choice

Did your brain just robotically fart out your political MO for us to admire, or is this supposed to be a serious response to something?

O well and fountainhead of wisdom, please enlighten us on why enjoying speaking with someone endorses his system of government.

Hannity his a clown. i don’t watch Ingraham or Kilmeade.

Of course you can’t find fault in what they said.. you are unable to follow the bouncing ball


Imagine if Rachel Maddow. Sent Biden a text pleading with him to do something. Your head would explode .. hell you think the entire left watches her show! What’s funny we know all trumpers watch and listen to the fox big 3 Tucker hannity and Ingram ..

instead of insulting me for not finding fault with what they said, tell us why a reasonable
person would find fault.

tell me, what’s wrong with someone saying on juju 6, that (1) we need to stop the violence now, and (2) commenting that trump supporters have never engaged in large-scale politically motivated violence before.

you tell me what’s wrong with that. i’m all ears.

you think the presidents chief of staff doesn’t communicate with friendly media outlets? that’s what bothers you? you think it’s bad that foxnews hosts contacted the chief of staff to try and out an end to violence?

you think cnn and msnbc staff don’t regularly communicate with senior officials of the biden administration? i’m sure they do, and i could care less. that has to be a normal thing in politics, but as always, you only care when republicans do it.

do you get tired of being totally wrong?

you’re not upset with what the fox hosts texted, you’re upset that they sent texts to the chief of staff?

seriously? why would
anyone care about that?

BC they were implying that it wasn't Trump supports but rather ANTIFA or someone else when they clearly knew that it was Trump's supporters. So they lied on air - and they continue to lie to this day. And don't forget they weren't saying those things to the same people. They were saying them to different people. Putting those 2 statements together sounds fine but you didn't include the full statements and you didn't note it was to different people.

And let's not forgot how Repub. congressman spent time trying to figure out how to steal the election and subvert the will of the people.

at the time, they were right. we know that liberals went to tea party rallies with racist signs to discredit them. it wasn’t all that kooky a thing to say then

turns out it was just republicans acting horribly.

“they clearly knew it was trump supporters.”

i don’t know they knew that. asking meadows to try to stop the riot, isn’t the same thing as knowing who the rioters are.

now we know. at the moment? i don’t know who knew what.

I agree it doesn't hurt their legacy. But one of the comments was it hurts "all" of us.

I heard the democraps are planning a big january 6th celebration...probably make it a holiday...Happy Insurrection Day!!!

schiff is pathetic ..https://thefederalist.com/2021/12/15...ep-jim-jordan/

"Oops, he did it again. After leaking fake Donald Trump, Jr. emails, fabricating the transcript of a 2019 phone call between former President Donald Trump and Ukraine’s president, and lying about his interactions with the so-called whistleblower behind House Democrats’ first impeachment of Trump, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is now running the same con against a fellow lawmaker. During a hearing Monday night on the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Adam Schiff claimed to have proof that a member of Congress texted former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to instruct former Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.

Not only did Schiff misrepresent the substance of the text message and its source, he even doctored original text messages, which were obtained and reviewed by The Federalist in their entirety."

i’m curious to see the lefty response to Schiffs stunts.

Jim’s obviously lying to avoid acknowledging Trump’s complicity.
He claims that no Trump supporter committed any violence prior to Jan 6 while on numerous occasions people who supported Trump committed crimes.
All across the country right wing activists committed crimes to further their agenda.
Jim doesn’t agree with their politics completely, or claims that they have yet to be convicted and therefore they don’t count, but yet he paints the left with the crimes of any vandal that took advantage of the cover of protests.
Just more

Now adding a period is doctoring

Gym Jordan suggested that GOP-controlled states anoint Trump electors “before those states were even called.”

This wasn't overturning the election. This was scrapping democracy before the votes were even counted.

The flurry of lawsuits to block production of documents suggests there is more — and worse — to come. They will all lose their subpoena challenges and the truth will come out. In the absence of a genuine privilege, “The public has a right to every man’s evidence.”
