Republican voters don’t care about Trump’s corruption — and here’s why

[blake9999]

The past couple of weeks of the news have served up a hefty reminder not just of the deep corruption of Donald Trump, but of the entire Republican Party. On top of the headline-dominating story about Republicans ignoring all sorts of ethical concerns to place Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, there was also a blockbuster New York Times report showing that Trump amassed his massive fortune not through hard work or business acumen, but old-fashioned tax fraud and corruption. Meanwhile, there's a pileup of stories indicating that Republicans intend to shore up their prospects in the November midterms through blatant and racist cheating, using a series of Jim Crow-style strategies to keep black and Native American voters from the polls in November.

To add to this already disturbing situation, there's the shady behavior Trump is displaying around the disappearance and likely murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist who has run afoul of Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia and big buddy of presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner. Saudi Arabia is widely believed to be behind the attack, but Trump — who himself is overtly hostile to the free press — seems reluctant to do anything about the situation, citing his unwillingness to spike an arms deal with Saudi Arabia. It's a stance made even more disturbing by the fact that arms deal isn't even real, but more like a fantasy unlikely to come to fruition. There is also reason to believe that Trump is personally enriching himself off the Saudi government, which likely factors into his decision-making.

Just like Dem's didn't care about Obama's..........you now see how it works?

We'd never hear about Republican voter suppression measures without the press reporting on it. No wonder GOP is threatening journalists. Worse, GOP is encouraging foreign governments by signalling we won't take any action if they do some dirty work for them.

New York Times Publisher and Trump Clash Over President’s Threats Against Journalism

By Mark Landler

• July 29, 2018

Mr. Sulzberger continued. “I warned that this inflammatory language is contributing to a rise in threats against journalists and will lead to violence.”

This is particularly true overseas, Mr. Sulzberger said, where governments are using Mr. Trump’s words as a pretext to crack down on journalists. He said he warned the president that his attacks were “putting lives at risk” and “undermining the democratic ideals of our nation.”


The pigeons are coming home to roost.

No, I don't see how it works. Show us some examples where Obama encouraged violence against the media. Or how Obama became rich by committing inheritance tax fraud.

Your whataboutism falls short of the mark, I think.

Name one shady deal Obama ever made.

Let me save you the headache: there are none. He, like every president before him, liquidated all his business interest before taking office. The only investment he had left was U.S. Savings Bonds. Trump is the only president in American history not to do so.

One other little tidbit for you:

• Number of crimes committed in less than two years of the Trump administration: 183 and climbing.
• Number of crimes committed by the Obama administration in 8 years after 5 years of investigations by Republicans: 0.

You and people like you are the problem. You live in a world of make believe and make shit up.

Trump did none of that.

It's about time that someone told the anti-Trump people the truth. They will never here it on the fantasy programs called the news.

 

[WordzyBoii]

I just chose one at random and jeeves says it was true. You sir are a liar.

 

[UncleBuck]

Reported as spam

I did chuckle at the “law and order” section though




What are we up to, 40 indictments, 200+ criminal charges, 5 prison sentences (and more pending)?

LOL

Also, wages are falling, healthcare is skyrocketing, gas is way up, labor force participation is down, lowest job numbers since 2011, the deficit is over a trillion dollars a year, and there has been no growth in the market for 10 months now

They forgot to include “most crying toddlers ripped from their mothers arms and imprisoned in concentration camps” in their spamgraphic

 

[UncleBuck]

Also, most criminal trials for toddlers and infants

 

[Justin-case]

He promised you he would. I never believed him, but you sure did.

The fat bastard was gone golfing for 1/3 of the year. He's no wannabe dictator. Wannabe dictators don't spend 1/3 of the year on vacation. We can rest assured he's not scheming to take over the world. His buddy Putin is doing that.

Yes, but you're gullible and stupid, so you'll continue to pretend you don't care.
