Trump's meltdown enters its second day as he continues raging over Biden's Jan. 6 speech

TFG's meltdown amuses me




On Friday, former President Donald Trump lashed out yet again at the ceremonies marking the first anniversary of the January 6 Capitol insurrection in a lengthy statement posted on Twitter by his press secretary Liz Harrington......

In a powerful speech at Statuary Hall on Wednesday, one of the very spots where a pro-Trump mob ran amok a year ago, Biden took off the gloves after a year of largely ignoring Trump.

"The former president of the United States of America has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election," Biden said, alluding to Trump's repeated false claim that the election was stolen from him through fraud -- an assertion that many Republicans still embrace.

"He's done so because he values power over principle, because he sees his own interest as more important than his country's interest," Biden said.

I am not going to cut and paste TFG's amusing but sad comments. The fact that TFG is so upset is all that matters

Hitler's propaganda minister made that comment.


"These radical leftists in Washington care NOTHING for American Democracy," said Trump. "All they care about is control over you, and wealth and riches for themselves. But they are failing. No one believes them anymore. And the day is quicky [sic] coming when they will be overwhelmingly voted out of power. Joe Biden’s voice is now the voice of desperation and despair. His handlers gave him that speech to read yesterday because they know the unprecedented failures of his presidency and the left-wing extremism of the Pelosi-Schumer Congress have destroyed the Democrat Party."

All that exactly describes Trump and the former GOP Party. Amazing...

It was all planned that way. Nail every one of them including rump, to the wall, and don't ever allow them to ever vote or run for another office again.

There likely has been a very calculated strategy to allow the major insurrectionists time to incriminate themselves while their every e-mail, phone call, etc. was collected, a purposeful effort to not alarm them into a defensive posture while evidence was being accumulated. Hubris is a very useful thing when investigating someone like #FailedCoupGuy, the ego makes him feel he is beyond reach of the law and his very own words can then do him in.

Fri Jan 7, 2022, 12:20 PM

And that was an intentional bit of psyops. Why is calling TFG a loser useful politically? Because nobody likes a sore loser. Most of us probably remember playing games when we were little kids, and having hissy fits if we lost. And then a parent comes along and reprimands you and reminds you to stop being a baby and that nobody likes a sore loser. So we all grow up with that idea that being a loser isn't such a bad thing; you just try again - but even Republicans were taught as kids that being a sore loser means you're a whiny baby nobody likes. That's psyops. That's how you get to TFG's fans; even they don't like whiny baby losers. Whining about losing just shows how weak he is.

Fri Jan 7, 2022, 12:38 PM
Jan 2022

Trump claims "the Democrats cannot sustain the preposterous fabrications about January 5 much longer." Please notice the date. To the rest of the world, January 6 was when the attack was. January 5 is when Trump's people were making their final preparations...like having his congressmen and congresswomen give guided tours to insurrectionists. In the Army we called this activity "reconnaissance and surveillance."

Trump also claims "They are trying to BAN voter ID and other basic measures that can ensure the sacred integrity of the vote." I know that several people have been arrested for either voting in two different places, like the residents of The Villages in Florida, or voting dead relatives' absentee ballots. Problem is, all those illegal votes were cast for Donald Trump.

Deal with this, America: until the Disgraced, Defeated, Useless, Worthless, Two-Timing, Double-Impeached Bag of Fertilizer either dies of natural causes, gets whacked by one of his creditors, self-deports or takes up residence in the Fort Hood Stockade, we're going to be treated to a tirade like this every time someone says anything bad about him.
