What I found telling was this:"...You dismiss these guys based on the crap you get from QAnon style comments and Trumps ranting..."

So this guy is all good with trusting hagiographic autobiographies like Barr's to tell the "real story", and additionally trusting an entire media that pushed the Trump Pee-Pee Hoax for years and then deliberately suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story and has malignantly lied repeatedly about everything, and has done so for years. Even worse, they have collaborated with the Left in the political persecution of conservatives.

Apparently the Person Of Stature is all good with trusting that. All in on that.

I prefer to base my judgements on the veracity of a source or a person by looking at past performance. If someone lies to me on something of substance, and I discover it, it is pretty hard to overcome that. If someone is contrite, has a reason, and wants to make up for it, I give those people a chance.

But when someone or something lies to me, they know they are lying, they they know that I know it, but do it all the same with malevolent intent, well, I think I would be a fool to give them another chance. And I think people who don't think that way have a screw loose.

Trust is not a thing given, it is a thing earned.

In any case, that statement at the top of this post speaks volumes. He is something, RINO, Douchenozzle, or both, but he is no critical thinker, and no conservative.

Not someone I want to associate with.

I would say 50% of Freepers are 1) old 2) Old school mainstream Republicans that hate Trump’s “style”. Dilettantes

The latter. No one in finance, apparently, believes there will ever be an accounting for the perpetual deficit economy and the mass creation of money by the FED.

Oh yeah. Just shut up and accept the fact that the deep state can steal elections any time they want. Shut up Trump and let the uniparty get back to business as usual.
