Donald Trump may indeed be guilty of the charges for which he was indicted last week…or maybe not. He may even end up being convicted. Regardless, assuming he’s on the ballot, I’ll vote for him, even if he’s dressed in stripes and sitting in a jail cell.
Why? Not because I don’t take seriously handling classified records or trying to “obstruct” the Justice Department. Both are serious. But even if Trump were guilty of both, even if he violated the letter and the spirit of the law, those violations are nothing compared to the federal government weaponization we’ve observed over the last decade and a half.
The Democrat party has spent much of the last fifteen years turning the federal government into an American Stasi to be used against its political opponents in a manner unprecedented in American history.
Barack Obama took aim at the Constitution in 2010 when his Justice Department targeted the press under the guise of “national security.” The DOJ seized records from FOX News reporter James Rosen and accused him of “espionage” for his reporting on American policy towards North Korea. Three years later, they used similar tactics against the Associated Press.
Not content to eviscerate freedom of the press, Obama next set his sights on freedom of speech, this time harnessing the IRS to undermine the Constitution.
Other presidents have been accused of using the IRS against opponents, but they were pikers compared to Obama’s war on speech. The IRS sought to smother hundreds of grassroots Tea Party organizations in their bassinets before they could even crawl. The likely result of that “mistreatment” of grassroots opponents was that Barack Obama won reelection despite having 5 million fewer votes than he did in 2008

I’ve made no secret I work for the DoD, hand in hand with not only our active duty, but many veterans, preparing to defend this country if necessary. If that’s a problem for you, maybe you’re the problem.
Yes the government could use some improvement. But the way Trump has tried to go about it has obviously failed.
His vain attempts to build an Obama-like following based on cult of personality is not going to get anything changed. It’s just a big sideshow and ultimately made the situation worse. We’re constantly distracted with this ridiculous circus of his and unable to stop things even he’s pushing, like support of the clot shots, WEF initiatives like 15 minute cities, and LGBT “rights.” But chose that side if you want, many others obviously have. I have to go to work, defending this country.
You didn't even have to, Glowie.
If that’s a problem for you, maybe you’re the problem.
Spoken like a commie bureaucrat tinpot dictastor wannabe.
We’re constantly distracted with this ridiculous circus of his.
Sounds like you're obsessed and/or have a bad case of TDS. Or are simply a paid "social media influencer". On the latter point, it's working, but to quite the opposite effect your bosses were hoping.

Concur.
“Trump may be a highly flawed man,”
I don’t think so.
They say he’s dumb, but casual observation indicates otherwise. Besides.... these ‘tards ALWAYS say that.
Best they can come up with after 10 years of intense scrutiny:
He says mean stuff :.....(
He makes crude jokes... one time... long ago :.....(
He says raciss’ stuff (don’t research, just take our word for it) :......(
Not buying it. And not buying the fake “conservatives” that ‘splain it to me.
Like you said, a fig leaf.
Taking stuff out of context?! To bash Trump?!?
I can’t believe it!
“Because you smell like a fed.”
Naaaaaawwwwwww. Did you see the account’s tagline? It says it’s an ultra conservative.
XD XD XD
