Yesterday, U.S. Senate committee concluded Russia used Manafort and WikiLeaks to boost Trump in the 2016 election. Remember in the primary when Trump said on several occasions he loves WikiLeaks? Now we know why.
Putin put Trump where he is today. Let’s hope the 2020 election will be decided by the American people only.
Donald Trump admitted on August 13, that he opposes funding for the USPS in order to make it more difficult to deliver mail-in ballots. Trump admits he is undermining USPS to make it harder to vote by mail. Trump says if USPS can’t get the money that’s in the Democrats’ coronavirus relief bill that he will not sign. They won’t be able to handle all the mail-in ballots. More Democrats vote by mail than Republicans.
A reporter asked Trump after three and a half years, do you regret, at all, all the lying you have done to the American people on everything, all the dishonesties. Next question please.
The Washington Post says Trump has told more than 20,000 false or misleading claims over the course of his presidency. Why would Trump lie instead of telling the truth? He’s hiding something.
Now, the Republicans are on to this QAnon deal, which is a conspiracy.
I see no difference in it than a cult. The FBI says it is a possible domestic terrorist threat. Reminds me of Jim Jones, preacher, faith healer, turned cult leader, who poisoned all his followers.
Maybe some of our local Trump supporters can explain it to us in more detail.
And here’s another item maybe Trump supporters can explain to us: I recently saw on Facebook a picture of Trump saying to pray for this man, he’s fighting an evil which we can’t even imagine.
This could very well be a Russian post.
He’s failed to revitalize the coal industry.
Mexico hasn’t paid for the wall.
Our economy is in shambles.
Hillary is not in jail.
Has not made MAGA.
He signed an executive order the other day guaranteeing pre-existing healthcare conditions will be covered, and that’s already in Obamacare, which he has been trying to get rid of for three and a half years.
Truly, Biden should not have to come out of the basement.
