Is this a joke? You repeat a long line of demonstrable lies, baseless denials, and conspiracy theories and call what I'm posting "tripe"? I've already called you disingenuous, but it's clear now you're either severely misinformed or a total liar.

Here are some reality checks for you:

Yes, it was coup:

Yes, there was collusion, and it was proven:

Yes, Trump intended to sell the documents and admitted it:

Guilliani admitted campaign money was illegally funneled through the law agency on Trump's orders:

Trump's economy in reality, note that it did NOT begin to rebound until Biden was in office.

The 2008 downturn was comparably bad, I'll give you that, but 2020 was precipitous and entirely the fault of Trump's blatant incompetence. That's not "partisanship," that's recognizing that the last two GOP presidents left their Democratic successors with a mess that they then cleaned up.

And yes, he mounted an insurrection! It was his final tantrum after his feeble attempts at overturning the election and recruiting Pence and the Army to reject the outcome and seize the voting machines:

You're not familiar with his capitulation but claim he didn't capitulate? How the hell are you ignorant of some of his most flagrant failures? Allow me to educate you:

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/trump-betrayed-us-fleeing-kurds-condemn-u-s-decision-to-leave-syria

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/08/20/trump-peace-deal-taliban/

https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-letter-trump-urged-erdogan-to-make-a-deal-11571264449

The begging to Erdogan was especially shameful, and Erdogan reportedly shared Trump's letter with the world while they had a good laugh.

FYI, the withdrawal from Afghanistan was entirely Trump's plan. Like I showed, he conceded everything to the Taliban and left Biden to deal with the fallout.

As for the "crisis," I am willing to admit it's more than a political talking point. But Hochul and Adams have not sounded anything like Trump. They've called for solutions, rather than family separation and letting children die in cages.

Yes, you've said that, and you're clearly lying. You're also being a tremendous hypocrite, accusing me of partisan spin. Everything you've said comes straight from the alt-right's campaign of misinformation. And don't project onto me, pal. I know of what I speak and back it up, which is more than I can say for you. You are just repeating "nuh-uh" and countering with demonstrable lies.
