TRUMP: 'RINO' Lindsey Graham "doesn't know what the hell he's talking about" when the Senator says it would be inappropriate for Trump to potentially pardon Jan 6 defendants.

Between Graham and Schiff, I’m not sure which one I dislike more.
***Graham is going AGAINST our stated principles; Schiff is FOLLOWING their stated principles.
That is one of Trump’s best qualities. He gets the enemy out in the open.

T R U . . .
See...you don't even have to put the whole word together, just seeing T R U is enough.
To these people, the sight of an orange in a supermarket bin is enough to cause their eyes to bug out.
I love it. I love seeing the self-inflicted torture.
It would be hilarious if it weren't so scary. I work at a place where one of the facilities is "The Trump Building". Now, it has been in existence for decades, not named after Donald Trump, but people complained to the highly Leftist leadership of the organization about seeing the name that they had to change the signage to spell out the full non-Donald J. Trump name to drive home the point it wasn't him.
And it was very likely the Leftist leadership who did it, although I did actually hear one person complain about it.
The electoral college in 2012 was a disaster and it did make our country look like a laughing stock electing Obama a second time.
***The electoral college did exactly as it was supposed to in 2016 and a couple of other times. Why do people care that our country looks odd to other countries? We have the oldest republic in the world. At least, we used to — until SCOTUS refused to do their job and told every last one of us that we have no standing in Berg vs. Obama.
Romney should have won easily.
***Bullshiite. Kowtowing to RINOs and Assistant Democrats is a luzing strategy, just ask Bush1, Dole, McCain and then... Romney.
But Trump never said go to a strict popular vote. He never said get rid of the electoral college. He said we need a revolution.
***What is your point?
At the time we needed a revolution to defeat Obama and his tyranny and Marxism.
***Some of that makes sense, some of it is mixed-in political hyperbole. Our declaration of independence is the template, so if it really is tyranny then revolution really is called for.
Mark Levin at the time was also calling for a Revoultion.
***Some guy on some radio station? It’s gonna take far more than that.
Educate yourself.
***Your bar for determining whether someone is educated is that they listen to some guy on some radio station? Perhaps you should just educate YOURself. I’m sure Mark Levin is a great guy with excellent points but he isn’t the source of “educating oneself”.

***Well, Trump won 3 years later. But then he had his 2nd win stolen from him by those whom the ‘revolution’ shoulda been directed at. The deep state has a lot of the high ground.
Didn’t someone once post a tribute song to him, based on “Doctor my eyes”?
Doctor Raoul has seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor Raoul
Tell me what is wrong
Was I a fool to leave them open for so long?
‘Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I’ve been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it’s later than it seems
Doctor Raoul
Tell me what you see
It seems so cruel
Just say if it’s too late for me
Doctor, Raoul
We cannot turn the fools
Is this the rule
For having learned how not to cry?

Donald J. Trump: “Lindsey’s a nice guy but he’s a RINO. He’s wrong”
Lindsey is a windsock. Just follows which way the wind is blowing.
Donald Trump deleted some controversial tweets in wake of President Barack Obama winning reelection but he also lashed out on Wednesday against NBC News anchor Brian Williams for criticizing him.
NBC News anchor Brian Williams slammed Trump on Election Night for his tweeting, saying that Trump had “driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible.” [...]Brian, if I’m “well past the last exit to relevance” how come you spent so much time reading my tweets last night? @ nbcnightlynews— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 7, 2012
On Tuesday night, Trump’s Twitter tirade blasted the Electoral College and bemoaned the country’s direction. One of the deleted Tweets? “Phoney electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!” Another: “Votes equals a loss… revolution!” [...]
Brian Williams lashed out against Trump on air, saying he had ‘driven well past the last exit to relevance’
***That’s some pretty good wordsmithing for someone who’s so obviously wrong that the guy he aimed the comment at was president 4 years later.
At this point a pardon doesn’t seem enough.
Okay, assuming what you wrote is true [BIG FReeping ASSumption] then you’ve made a bit of a case that the man went from criticizing the Electoral College to relying on it in 2016. That reinforces my perspective as a straightforward constitutionalist.
My objections to obambam other than ideology was that he shat on the constitutional requirement of NBC. In 2012, 5 years later, Trump was pushing the birther stuff but it was already too late due to the 20th amendment.

My perspective at the time when obambam FINALLY released the long form, it was to silence the ramblings of some gadfly with lots of money because... he had some weird political ambitions or sumthin sumthin??? I was igNORing Trump at the time. He’s not much of a constitutionalist.
Another noob.

Are you serious? You really think he was criticizing the electoral college in 2012, but relied on it (because he lost the popular vote in 2016) because he had some sort of constitutional conservative awakening at 68 years of age? Give me a break. He will do or say whatever he thinks will work for him, and he couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the constitution. He had no problem with the outcome in 2016 (despite his losing the popular vote) because he won. If he had lost in 2016 he would have claimed fraud. If he had won the popular vote 2016 but lost the electoral vote he would have called the electoral system a sham. He will do or say whatever he thinks is in his interest.
OK, good. So now you accept that Trump posted those tweets?
***No. I’m allowing for it as a hypothetical so we can discuss it. Proving one way or another that someone once posted a deleted tweet is kinda difficult but that is the path you have chosen.
If so, do you find those tweets at all troubling?
***Nope. Trump is a weak constitutionalist but a strong enough politician to be the first civilian elected Prez. He aint perfect but he’s the best prez in my lifetime. Do you find all that deepstate stuff aimed at him at all troubling?
Note that Trump wasn’t saying the 2012 election was fraudulent.
***Because he didn’t have enough information. If you’re gonna argue from silence then so am I.
He was saying that the electoral college was “phoney”
***Again, he’s weak on the constitutionalist side. But he was qualified to be prez whereas obambam was NOT. Neither is Cruz, Trump jr., Nikkie Haley, nor Schwarzenegger.
and was calling for a revolution because he initially believed
***Now you’re starting to drift into political rhetoric, where Trump excels. For instance, he was calling for Hillary to be put in jail and then immediately upon winning the election he withdrew that rhetoric. Try to keep up.
that Romney won the popular vote but lost the electoral vote.
***Kinda immaterial, once the electoral college votes. We all saw that when obambam usurped the entire process and as a result, we are no longer a republic but an oligarchy. You know who does well in an oligarchy? Billionaires.
Trump is no conservative,
***He governed as a conservative. He didn’t even claim to be a conservative, he claimed to be a guy with conservative viewpoints. He’s the best conservative president we have ever had, including even Reagan.
though he might play one on TV for as long as it suits him.
***He governed as one, so there’s that. Your NeverTrumpisms are only going to get you the attention of the Viking Kitties.
Are you serious? You really think he was criticizing the electoral college in 2012, but relied on it (because he lost the popular vote in 2016) because he had some sort of constitutional conservative awakening at 68 years of age?
***Did I say that? NO. Not only NO but FUQ NO. I really don’t like trolls twisting my words so they can argue against the straw position.
Give me a break.
***No I will not give you a break because you are a NeverTrumper.
He will do or say whatever he thinks will work for him,
***Like most politicians. At least Trump didn’t shiite on the constitution and turn our country into an oligarchy like Obambam did, nor steal the election like Biden did. Actions. Actions.Speak.Louder.Than.Words.
and he couldn’t give a rat’s ass about the constitution.
***He gave a rat’s ass in 2016. But lookie here, you’re wandering into neverTrumpism land and that level of bullshiite has a tendency to get one zotted.
He had no problem with the outcome in 2016 (despite his losing the popular vote) because he won.
***Gosh, would that qualify as a “constitutional conservative awakening at 68 years of age?”
If he had lost in 2016 he would have claimed fraud.
***Argument from silence. Classic fallacy. If you’re gonna argue from silence then so am I. Hillary was silent about rounding up NeverTrumper RINOs because they were so ineffective so if she woulda won, you guys would all be dead just like her other political enemies.
If he had won the popular vote 2016 but lost the electoral vote he would have called the electoral system a sham.
***Well, I can see that hypothetical, since he supPOSEDly criticized the electoral college in 2012.
He will do or say whatever he thinks is in his interest.
***Once again, you drift over into NeverTrumpisms. It’ll cause your own zot. You should stick to facts instead of asserting your dumbass nevertrump opinions.
