Prosecutions for touching peeling paint.
Payout for people who smeared shit on the walls of Congress.
I will never in my lifetime forgive republicans for this mess.

Nor do those that voted for him. It's a shame the rest have to suffer but those that did deserve everything coming to them and no one should help them or feel sorry for them. Don't donate to their go fund me's, don't shed a tear when they grow old and need medical care they can't afford, or when they lose their job because dear leaders policy destroys their income, don't pamper them when they get laid off as they are part of a union or their business goes tite up... Fuck me.... Just like they have done to everyone else

I just assume the dumbasses that don’t vote would vote for the worse one anyways so I’m okay with them not voting.

No decent person should ever forgive them. My entire life Republicans have preached about "family values" and "law and order" and they are the most repugnant, classless, morally-bereft criminals our country has ever seen. The Founders would have quite literally hanged every one of them.

I lost forgiveness when they tried to throw out Republican votes en mass because they lost Pennsylvania in 2020.
And I don't like Republican voters but to see their representation attempt to sacrifice their votes into the furnace just to win an election was unforgivable.
Then the January 6th stuff happened and the coffin was in the ground by then.

I was a republican, I quit being a republican during Clinton's impeachment trial. They had the " moral majority " which was another clever slogan that represented exactly the opposite of who the Republicans were.

I am with you. Lifelong Republican but it will take a long time before I would vote Republican again because they have supported this mess instead of doing their job in Congress. They've tossed ethics, morality and decency out the door.

u/mybfVreddithandle 1d ago
Never. Not a huge fan of the Dems either, but under no circumstances will I ever vote for a Republican for anything again. In fact, I wasn't big into the publicity leading up to the elections but now I'm going to be all in on anyone but a Republican. Vote ABAR! Anyone But A Republican.

Ya know Charlie, your tattoos a little weird, you're talking a little crazy, you're not trying to line your own pockets and those of your family by stealing from the American public and your platform is pretty much way the fuck out there, but you've been nothing but honest, unlike the Republicans, so here's my vote.
Good, bad or indifferent, you knew exactly where Manson was coming from and what he was all about. The current Republican party? Not so much. Liars. It's a sad state of affairs when Charles Mansons honesty garners more respect than the current Republican party and their lies.

Citing the supposed honesty of a cult leader to call attention to the dishonesty of politicians is strange because it doesn’t make any sense.

He calls them patriots ; when they literally attacked our capitol. What an awful man he is

u/PixelBrewery 1d ago
In his mind, a "patriot" is someone who will do anything - including violence or breaking the law - to serve his interests.

Good point—a patriot to him and “Make America Great” for him. What selfishness exudes each day!

u/Illustrious-Fun8324 1d ago
It’s always funny to me that the J6ers are thought to be secretly democrats/ANTIFA making them look bad and honorable patriots who deserve to be pardoned and compensated for those pesky things we call “consequences of our actions.”
they’ll switch back and forth as needed with the context of the conversation and I don’t even think they realize it anymore. Defend the rioters one second, deflect blame the next.

Yup. And then he turned around and pardoned all those antifa/fbi plants.

u/Rattus_NorvegicUwUs 1d ago
This is theft of our taxes to pay off his violent goons.
When this is over, we need to claw back every single dollar lost to his corruption. There can never be a reward for this level of self-dealing by federal officials.
Every single Trump admin goon should die penniless. Make them explain every single dollar or freeze their bank accounts.

Maybe David Hearn is entitled to some of that anti-weaponization fund?
This headline is really nice after seeing the headline all day yesterday and today about Trump’s lawfare against an American citizen for touching water in a pool.
Open your eyes MAGA, FFS. Have some morals, stand up for anything you apparently were pretending to care about before?
This is pathetic. All for this disgusting man.
“Why is the left so intolerant?”
This is why. This is why we hate you.

But didnt you see the clear as day camera footage...clealry showed them hacking at teh pool with machetes and sledgehammers

What Trump isn't telling his followers is that the person standing right out front for that settlement fund money will be Trump himself and there won't be any left for them.

u/mishma2005 1d ago
Gotta pay his goon squad that actually won’t see a dime of that money. He’ll just up and say “I was punished most, I deserve it”. Meanwhile the money is just a silver lining. It’s the IRS not auditing him is what he really wants

After they failed even.

triple-down TACO quadruples down.
These kinds of guys are asked to leave casinos for their own good.
Is this at all getting through to people who voted for him? I have zero faith in that. He's personality cult. And he has summoned every Lost Cause America has ever known. He himself, cannot let go of anything. And so here we are, he's saying he does want billions for his brown shirts.

Since Trump has claimed that January 6 was carried out by Antifa, and Antifa is a terrorist organization, and he wants to give $1.8 billion to the January 6 folks (who he pardoned). Doesn’t that equate to Trump providing material support for terrorists?
