You say "nobody believes", yet we know for a fact that he has followers who take things he says as gospel. They're either too dumb or too lazy for critical thinking or due diligence.
****, we have one of them here, and he admitted it. You think there aren't tens of millions more?

So no right-wingers believe it? What else that he has said do they not believe?

How is it "peddling another narrative", when HE is the one who stated it publicly?
It was HIS narrative!

Sam who? Rachel who? Tell me about them.
Looks like Biden/Harris increased deportations at a higher rate than Trump. Their 4th year literally quadrupled their first. Trump slowly climbed in years 1-3, then tailed off in year 4.

Kamala offered a plan, while Trump offered a plan to make a plan. Or maybe it was an idea of a plan, or an idea to make a plan. I'm not sure, but I know he had no plan.

What exactly has president-elect Musk Trump accomplished in the past 5-6 weeks?

LOL - you seriously can't see that the whiny liberal loons have just found yet another narrative to run with to claim Trump is insane, going to start ww3, etc??? At least now we know whether you're one of the lefties peddling the BS or if you're one of the ones falling for the loonie left narrative.

Why would you even refer to Trump's 2020 numbers? Did you forget that something rather unique was going on in 2020 that affected the border and border policy? BidenCo's numbers were low until it became a losing issue and suddenly they start deporting. Some people may look at Biden/Harris's 2024 numbers and claim success, but what I see on that chart is 3 years of utter failure by the current administration. Illegal immigrants weren't taking over bus stations and apartment buildings when Trump was in office.

Yep. Loonie liberals. Even the president of Panama responded to the orange idiot with a no way, and the orange idiot responded back.
Just a comical back-and-forth between two politicians. Good humor there.

Trump was POTUS from 2017-2020, you know. The pandemic changed nothing about 2017-2019, unless you think there was some time rift going on.
Trump oversaw the lowest numbers between 1993 and now. And don't even TRY to say that all the illegals just gave up because they knew Trump was POTUS. No one with an IQ higher than a Trump follower's would believe that bullshit.

So we'll discount the economy being better under Democrats, b/c obviously that is not important to you.
What did the Democrats make "not great"?

Stop it, we already know Democrats are no good at math.

You presented a faked video from Tucker Carlson to show the man is innocent, even though he pleaded guilty and admitted he did wrong.
How about you provide some REAL proof?

Now the videos are fake... how long before you cry "STOLEN ELECTION"?

And? He entered a guilty plea and publicly stated he did wrong.
Show me where/how this did not happen.

People plea down all the time jackass. Doesn't mean they did what you claim.

"Murder"? Interesting. Where exactly was this "unarmed vet" when "murdered?
How EXACTLTY did this "unarmed vet" get there?
What EXACTLY was this "unarmed vet" doing?

"A Capitol Police sergeant, whose name is redacted, described seeing Babbitt climbing through a broken window, but did not witness her holding a weapon, according to a portion of the documents received by Judicial Watch."

"The Internal Affairs Division also conducted a different interview with another Capitol Police officer on Jan. 6, who was positioned directly behind Byrd in the Speaker’s Lobby during the shooting of Babbitt.

"He did not see Ms. McEntee [Babbitt] in possession of any potential weapons," the summary report states.

"He reiterated that he did not observe that she was armed."

So your previous defense for Trump's involvement (that people act of their own free will) is only viable to defend Trump? When it comes to informants "instructed to do things", the other people no longer had free will.
Interesting.

No, I am saying these informants did illegal shit and were the cause of most if not all Jan 6th damage at the capitol. Yet none were charged with any crime.

Given your shitty memory, lists area really good idea for you. Without them you are just some schlub making shit up and posting it here, demanding it's fact because you spewed it.

My shitty memory? When are you going to back up your BS that spokey9 was repeating some lie?

If you said a video was fake...he'd demand you prove it

@RobGMN I would like to say that yes, people act of their own free will. I can ask YOU to not be such a one sided biased ******* and follow us peaceful Trump supports into the next 4 years but you are of your own free will to continue to be you. I am certain that is the choice YOU will make on your own and of your own free will.

The thing is, I could say his quotes are fake since they are almost NEVER how the original statements were written. Or how about him paraphrasing just to paraphrase. He could just say what was said and not try to interpret it to what he thinks the writer meant to say. I think he is to far gone to help anymore.

I should just tell him "welcome to the world of videos" "Take a class in video watching" or some dumb shit he likes to say about the English language.

Stop it, we already know Democrats are no good at math.

Says the guy who can't figure out averages, thinks you can't have partial percentages of a population of millions, doesn't understand nominal versus real pricing, thinks that import tariffs are paid by the exporter...

Now the videos are fake... how long before you cry "STOLEN ELECTION"?

YOU are the one who says that the videos are all faked. Now you want tot say they are real?
Make up your mind.

People plea down all the time jackass. Doesn't mean they did what you claim.

OK. So he did that, which means his offense was even worse. Got it.

"A Capitol Police sergeant, whose name is redacted, described seeing Babbitt climbing through a broken window, but did not witness her holding a weapon, according to a portion of the documents received by Judicial Watch."

"The Internal Affairs Division also conducted a different interview with another Capitol Police officer on Jan. 6, who was positioned directly behind Byrd in the Speaker’s Lobby during the shooting of Babbitt.

"He did not see Ms. McEntee [Babbitt] in possession of any potential weapons," the summary report states.

"He reiterated that he did not observe that she was armed."

Is that the normal mthod for taking a guided tour of the Capitol? Climibing through a broken window? Seems like a bit of a liability issue to me. How do they leave when the tour is over? Do they jump off the roof?

No, I am saying these informants did illegal shit and were the cause of most if not all Jan 6th damage at the capitol. Yet none were charged with any crime.

Cool theory. Got proof, or is this another of "trust me, bro" situations?

My shitty memory? When are you going to back up your BS that spokey9 was repeating some lie?

From when? I've had Spokey on ignore ever since he decided to act 100% like a grade-school child.
Tell me what I need to back up, and I'll do it in a flash. Unlike you, I can do it with anything I post here.

So the insurrectionists acted of their own free will and chose to "fight like hell" as Trump suggested.
Fair enough.

Okay, Trump is planning an invasion of Panama and immigration was the worst ever under Trump. You run with that.

He's got that on a sticky note on his mirror...he recites that daily while brushing his teeth

This is the problem with politics. You have people running with conspiracy theories, claiming so & so is a fascist, racist, *********, misogynist, etc and when they aren't doing that it's just straight delusion.

I would consider **** to be worse, but his past few weeks have certainly been a mess of stupidity.
I wonder what nonsense we'll see now that he's lost his first appeal in the EJC case.
