[Hoot Gibson]

Anyone who truly believes that Trump is a good human being is a member of the Cult.  Now not everyone who votes for him is included in the Cult, many would vote Republican no matter who was running, although Trump is not really a Republican, he is the ultimate RINO.

True . Millions of Republicans won't be able to vote for him. Some will hold their nose and vote him again. Guys like Jet and the The Wrong Thing(TWT) and other cultists would vote for him if he raped and murdered someone on the front steps of the White House. Hell, is a civilly liable rapist. A court held him responsible for a sexual assault. As a side, if Biden or any Democrat had attempted to incite an insurrection like Trump did, I could never, ever vote them. I would probably write in someone but I couldn't vote for anyone who held the peaceful transfer of power in such low regard. That's disqualifiable in my book.

Yet you're okay with Biden and his family peddling influence for cash. Biden has never been anything but a dim witted clumsy criminal. It's easier for criminals to thrive in political office, as long as they win elections. All Biden had to do was cheat his way through school and win his first election to Congress. As long as crooked public office holders avoid developing a conscience, they are on easy street.

If you actually believe that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are honest public servants, then you are no less a cult follower than the Trump cultists are.

I don't put a lot of stock in most politicians. One would be hard pressed to find one that doesn't influence peddle?  Speaking of influence peddling,  what do you think of Mitch McConnell, Hoot?   McConnell was the key in helping Biden get his BBB package done. He made a deal with Biden. Biden let him have some judges in KY that Mitch wanted and Mitch agreed not to run interference for Biden's stuff. Also, Mitch could have rid his party of Trump forever when he had the chance. He could have cooked Trump's goose and probably had a true conservative heading the party , instead of the pseudo-conservative marmalade MAGA cult leader.

I'm not a McConnell fan but what you described sounds like run of the mill exchanges of political favors to me. It's not like McConnell's family was accepting cash payments for granting an audience with him. I may not be a fan of Trump, but the impeachments were nothing but political stunts. He committed no impeachable offense, but for some reason Democrats felt the need to try to avoid running against him again. If they were to have nominated a decent candidate with broad appeal, Trump would have lost the 2024 election in a landslide.

Democrats showed extreme disregard for their own voters when they rigged their own nomination process to prevent Bernie Sanders from getting nominated in 2016. I'm no Bernie fan, but he was robbed. That left the most crooked Democrat ever to run for president as the Democrat nominee. Really, Democrats rigged the process and ended up with a dud candidate like Hillary? Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

I would have loved to have had somebody other than Trump run in 2016 and I would have preferred any of the other top Republican candidates in the upcoming election, but having the president of the United States getting impeached twice on bogus charges, which even if true did not meet the constitutional requirement of "high crimes or misdemeanors," would have hastened this nation to banana republic status.
