That's how you sound

Chris
Here's how your president sounds by counting the lies from his inaugural address:

He condemned “the vicious, violent and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department,” which did not happen in reality.
He said North Carolinians were “treated so badly” by the government, but his post-hurricane lies have been repeatedly and thoroughly discredited.
He claimed the United States has provided “sanctuary and protection” for immigrants “from prisons and mental institutions.” Trump has said this before, but there’s literally no evidence to support the rhetoric.
He said wildfires in the Los Angeles area have burned “without even a token of defense,” which would probably come as a surprise to firefighters in the area.
Trump complained about “record inflation” in the Biden era, apparently indifferent to the fact that inflation rates were nowhere near record highs.
He vowed to “revoke the electric vehicle mandate,” adding that Americans will soon be able to “buy the car of your choice.” In reality, there is no electric vehicle mandate, and consumers can already buy the car of their choice.
Trump promised to “tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens,” despite the fact that it’s impossible to impose tariffs to “enrich” Americans, and there’s also no way for the United States to “tax foreign countries.”
He described “a national energy emergency,” necessitating “drill, baby, drill,” which was bizarre given that domestic oil production hasn’t just reached an all-time high in the United States, it’s also outpaced every other country on the planet.
Trump decried “devastating crime” rates, despite the fact that crimes went down, not up, during the Biden era.

"You quote Rachel Maddow.  You lost me there."

Nope, it was Steve Benen whom I've quoted, as noted in the link. It happened to be reported on the Rachel Maddow show.

Elon has, of course, nothing to do with the predicament facing the EOS complex or anything associated with it. He does, however, give a heck of a Seig Heil, now doesn't he?

Now the facts for "The TORMENTOR" the real scumbag here:

2. "A slew of big brands, including Disney and IBM, decided...to stop advertising on the platform after a report by liberal advocacy group Media Matters said ads were appearing alongside pro-Nazi content and white nationalist posts."

3. "Musk responded on X to a user who accused Jews of hating white people and professing indifference to antisemitism by posting, “You have said the actual truth.” He has faced outcry, including from the White House."

Here's Musk apologizing for supporting doing the above:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwpbVmYdCBI

Finally your anti-semitic conspiracy theories about George Soros speak volumes about you...

“You have said the actual truth.”

Looks like it to me/see for yourself:

"Musk was seen making the gesture a total of three times on live television."

"More than 600 people were sentenced to periods of incarceration, but only a fraction of them are still behind bars. Of those who are in the custody of the federal Bureau of Prisons, many were convicted of violent attacks on police officers protecting the U.S. Capitol during an assault in which Jan. 6 defendants were armed with firearms, stun guns, flagpoles, fire extinguishers, bike racks, batons, a metal whip, office furniture, pepper spray, bear spray, a tomahawk ax, a hatchet, a hockey stick, knuckle gloves, a baseball bat, a massive “Trump” billboard, “Trump” flags, a pitchfork, pieces of lumber, crutches and even an explosive device."

"More than 140 police officers were injured and several Trump supporters died during the attack, including one who was shot when attempting to breach the House Speaker's Lobby and another who died in the middle of a brutal battle at the lower west tunnel, where some of the worst violence of the day took place."

They can't because any leftist prosecutor who would try that would lose in court.

There were rioters and the only person who was killed by anyone else was UNARMED Ashley Babbitt, who was shot by Officer Byrd and killed by Officer Byrd who already had 3 reprimands on his official record for reckless use of his firearm.

But killing an unarmed white woman gets you applause from leftist Democrats, who are the same Democrats who screamed about George Floyd who died of Fentanyl overdose and a cop went to jail for it.  

That of course caused radical leftist Democrats to burn down cities all over the nation as well as a Federal bldg in Portland, along with a police station.  Those radical f'ers were all given a pass by Dems like you. 

Dems like you supported it and excused their criminal acts.  During the summer of Democrat violence by Antifa and BLM, over 30 people were killed including police officers by violent Dems and those like you excused and supported it.
Stop your damn lying freak, and don't make the insurrectionists out to be martyrs that they're not. Trump has pardoned those convicted of seditious conspiracy and that is: "If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both." An insurrection is :" a violent uprising against an authority or government." In other words, more of the same. 

In these cases, a retired conservative judge has this to say about  "What do judges think about Trump’s actions in these Jan. 6 cases?"

"In many cases, these judges sentenced the offenders to less than what the government was asking for. They gave them a break and went below the advisory sentencing guidelines that judges have to consult when they pass sentence."

It was indeed refreshing to see tonight that at least one Jan 6th convict acknowledged her guilt and will not accept Trump's pardon of her conviction and jail time. There may be at least one other who reportedly may refuse it as well. Then there are the families of some of those convicted of seditious conspiracy or other serious Jan 6th crimes who don't want the convicts out of jail. Then there's "LD" Vance who, just a few days ago, said the violent Jan 6th convicts should not be pardoned.

Trump Pardon's Jan 6th Insurrectionists Despite Plea From Capitol Police Chief Not To Do So

Posted By Rod Kaufman

Speaking of crazies:  "Man who got Jan. 6 pardon is arrested on federal gun charge"

"On Tuesday, Daniel Ball’s case tied to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack was formally dismissed after he received a full pardon from President Trump. But by Wednesday, Ball was arrested once more on a pending federal gun charge."

"The Florida man appears to be the first Jan. 6 rioter to face additional legal trouble after the sweeping clemency bestowed on those who rioted at the Capitol..."


"Ball was charged in May 2023 with 12 counts tied to the Capitol attack, including assaulting, resisting or impeding officers using a dangerous weapon and using explosives to commit a felony."

" Ball’s two previous convictions — for domestic violence battery by strangulation in June 2017 and battering and resisting law enforcement with violence in October 2021 — are detailed in the charging papers. He’s accused of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, around May 2023."

Kinda sounds like a tormentor, now doesn't he?
