Nope.
Obviously, he’s the one the Democrats are most afraid of! To get rid of their money laundering,lining their pockets with our hard earned dollars, selling America to our enemies.
All this has not only shine the light, it has magnified the despots that are in and running our government. and you want the main person who could clean it out gone? Probably won’t happen. There’s too many pro Americans still left in the country.
Especially now that more and more are waking up to what has been said over the years is even worse than we all thought
2º"Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? So, help you God." "Anything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law." Now, given the premise that lying seems to have become the national pastime, do you believe the trials that are about to take place regarding Trump and associates will be totally fair and non-biased? How can they be because every liberalized progressive AG or prosecutor involved in the accusations have openly and publicly avowed to get Donald Trump and permanently remove him from being eligible to hold office. In addition, it should be obvious, their objective is to impugn, discredit, and remove from the public eye as many prominent Conservatives as possible. In my opinion, these indictments are the most devious, deceptive, and contemptable proceedings to evolve from a corrupt judicial system. Period.
That being said, If Joe Buffoon Biden and this Buffoon Brigade administration can blatantly ignore the rulings of the Supreme Court without consequences, what is the standing or status of the DOJ? I will remind you of the warning words of Charles Schumer to Donald Trump about going against the DOJ. "They have six ways from Sunday to get back at you". So, do you think the Democrat run Federal and Georgia judicial systems are impartial and non-biased?
3ºMarc Aldred I did respond to you, Marc. Unlike you, I acknowledged that you were right. Shocker!
Here’s my response (again) so you don’t have to scroll looking for it;
Marc Aldred (I didn’t Open your link, I don’t open links sent to me on Facebook from people I don’t know) however, I did look it up on the New York post and I saw the march that you’re talking about. The marchers also said we’re here we’re queer and we’re going shopping. I believe the whole thing was a spoof on the Simpsons episode, but they shouldn’t have said that about the children. I wish they wouldn’t do that. It just gives right-wing nut jobs ammunition 
4ºRebecca Hazen Love, I understand this can be complicated. Simply contesting an election is not only legal but we have procedures in place for just such a thing; dt and his minions list over thirty of those cases; in a court of law; many of which were run by judges he put on the bench himself. Speech is legal: Trying to overturn an election, after failing at all your legal challenges by putting up unelected “electors” is in fact against the law. Your welcome. Now go read a book; preferably about how the US, and our legal system, is structured. Best wishes becoming an educated citizen.
5ºMarc Aldred After the 2020 United States presidential election, the campaign for incumbent President Donald Trump and others filed and lost at least 63 lawsuits[1] contesting election processes, vote counting, and the vote certification process in multiple states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.[2] Among the judges who dismissed the lawsuits were some appointed by Trump himself.[3]
Nearly all the suits were dismissed or dropped due to lack of evidence.[4] Judges, lawyers, and other observers described the suits as "frivolous"[5] and "without merit".[6][7] In one instance, the Trump campaign and other groups seeking his reelection collectively lost multiple cases in six states on a single day.[8] Only one ruling was initially in Trump's favor: the timing within which first-time Pennsylvania voters must provide proper identification if they wanted to “cure” their ballots. This ruling affected very few votes,[9] and it was later overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.[10] (Wikiup)

I don't think conservatives are evil, but logic suggests people who are admirers of Jesus Christ would align themselves with those who reflect his values. And it's pretty hard to argue Jesus was anything but a peace-loving, free-thinking, tree-hugging liberal.
After all, this is the guy who said, "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which spitefully use you, and persecute you."
I'm not saying this is either a good thing or a bad thing, and I'm not so arrogant as to claim I know the mind of Jesus Christ. But based on his own words - at least those passed on through the Bible -- it shouldn't be hard to guess which side of the aisle he would come down on if he were here today.
Liberals are traditionally the folks accused of wanting to increase entitlements for the poor and expand welfare. When conservative politicians talk about budget cuts, these are the areas they look to first.
But wasn't it Jesus who said, "Give to him that asks you, and from him that would borrow of you turn you not away?"
Seems to me folks looking after the less fortunate among us are reflecting the teachings of this same Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus said, "What man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?"
And let's not forget it was Jesus who fed 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish because he did not want them to go hungry.
When you're debating whether to welcome immigrants seeking refuge from war and pestilence in their own countries, remember Jesus saying when you've fed the hungry and clothed the naked and taken in the stranger, "In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
Liberals are sometimes ridiculed for their zeal in protecting the environment, but who was a bigger nature lover than Jesus? Check the Bible and see how often he went to pray in the mountains or the gardens or in the splendid isolation of nature.
"Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them," he once said. "Are ye not much better than they?"
"For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear," he said on another occasion.
And later in that same passage, he marveled that a seed "when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it."
Woke folks like to point out that liberals are usually identified as "liberators." They're inclined to "rock the boat" as Jesus did.
"He was a dreamer who saw life as process with progress," my pop says. "He embraced the forgotten, the poor, the unknown."
Which is why I'm bewildered by evangelical Christian leaders who embraced Donald Trump throughout his presidential campaign and continue to make excuses for him now. Try to imagine a figure in American politics who is more un-Christlike than this billion-dollar spoiled brat.
Jesus advised, "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
Jesus advised, "When thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men."
Trump, on the other hand, says - well, you've already heard the lies and insults and threats and accusations, followed by more lies. I can't bring myself to write his quotes alongside the quotes of Jesus.
I'll just mention the wife of Ted Cruz, the family of Capt. Khan, the people of Puerto Rico, John McCain, Rosie O'Donnell, and the numerous women who have accused him of sexual misconduct as people who have experienced Trump's brand of Christianity. And keep in mind he has never apologized or even taken responsibility for these actions.
This evangelical support reached a new level of bizarre when Pat Robertson, who I honestly thought was 10 years dead, said the mass shooting at a country music festival in Las Vegas was the result of "disrespect" for Trump. Really? Robertson might have had an argument if the attack had happened at an Eminem concert in Boston, but otherwise that's quite a stretch.
Under this rationale, one could argue the hurricanes in Texas and Florida and the wildfires in California represent God's wrath for sending this blasphemous buffoon to the Oval Office.
People bring this up rhetorically but nowadays you seriously have to wonder - what would Jesus say?

I want to take a moment to set the record straight about Trump’s Jan. 6 indictment and discuss the crimes he’s charged with.
Once again, let’s be clear: President Biden DID NOT indict Trump. Not in this case. Nor in other pending cases against the former president. Trump was indicted by a grand jury of ordinary people who found the evidence against him strong enough to charge him with four felonies.
Now, Trump's defenders call the case against him "partisan," and in a way, they're half right. How? Well, all the most damning evidence has come from Republicans, Trump's own inner circle, and even his family.
As we learned during the January 6th Committee Hearings last year, Trump knew the election wasn't stolen because his own Justice Dept, his campaign manager, and White House lawyers all told him so.
As his handpicked attorney general said, "The claims of fraud were bullsh*t."
Even Rudy Giuliani admitted, "we just don't have the evidence" to support Trump’s claims about the election— which is why more than 60 legal challenges to the election were struck down, many by Trump-appointed judges.
But as Trump's inner circle told him he'd lost fair & square, he conspired with others and tried to weaponize the government to falsely undermine faith in the election.
This is a crime in itself, and brings us to the reason for the first charge in his latest indictment:
Charge #1: Conspiracy to Defraud the United States.
You’ve probably heard Trump's defenders claim that he "really believed" his own lies. But that doesn't matter. Trump has been indicted because of what he allegedly did, not what he believed.
What's more, there's ample evidence Trump never cared if his claims were true. Trump began making claims about voter fraud before voting even began.
And his orders to the Justice Dept and to Georgia's secretary of state (caught on tape) show indifference to whether there was any actual fraud.
Trump allegedly ordered the Justice Dept to lie about the election. His acting deputy AG Richard Donoghue testified that Trump didn't care whether there was evidence of fraud or not, ordering him to "just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen."
Trump's defenders also claim his lies were "free speech." But as former Attorney General Bill Barr has said: "All conspiracies involve speech, and all fraud involves speech. Free speech doesn't give you the right to engage in a fraudulent conspiracy."
That brings us to the next two felony charges against Trump,
Count #2 Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding
Count #3: Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding
These charges focus on his alleged efforts to prevent certification of the 2020 election. Trump allegedly used at least four illegal schemes.
SCHEME 1:
Trump and his allies allegedly pushed Republican state leaders to change the election results in their states.
Arizona's Republican speaker of the House and Georgia's Republican secretary of state testified in detail about how Trump pressured and threatened them.
Trump was even caught on tape demanding Georgia's Republican secretary of state "find" the exact number of votes needed to overturn Georgia's results — showing again Trump was never interested in stopping actual "fraud," just in winning.
SCHEME 2:
Trump and his co-conspirators allegedly produced fake electoral votes cast by fake electors in 7 states, in hopes of getting these votes counted instead of the real ones.
SCHEME 3:
Trump tried to bully Pence into blocking certification of the election on Jan 6, falsely claiming a VP has such power. According to testimony, Trump knew this plan was illegal because John Eastman, the lawyer who concocted it, said so in Trump's presence.
SCHEME 4:
When all else failed, Trump summoned a mob to the Capitol on Jan 6, promising it "will be wild."
There is evidence tying Trump to the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, whose leaders have since been convicted of seditious conspiracy. These groups coordinated Jan 6 plans with Roger Stone and Michael Flynn while Trump's team was in continual contact with Stone and Flynn.
Flynn was in the Oval Office on Dec. 18. On Jan 5, Trump ordered his chief of staff Mark Meadows to talk with Stone & Flynn about the next day's plans.
According to sworn testimony, Trump was warned by the secret service that the mob had lethal weapons, including AR-15s. A former aide testified that Trump tried to have metal detectors removed to make it easier for his supporters to carry weapons to his rally.
Knowing the mob had weapons, Trump still ordered them to march on the Capitol and "fight like hell." He used the word "fight" at least 20 times in his speech.
The final felony charge in Trump's new indictment is:
Count 4: Conspiracy Against Rights
Here, the Justice Department alleges that Trump's efforts to overturn a free and fair election were an attack on the civil rights of every American voter.
Now, Trump is facing a wide variety of criminal charges in three separate cases, but the crimes alleged in the Jan 6 indictment are different because they're crimes not just against people, or even against our nation, but against the very idea of democracy itself.
Folks — no elected official has ever been accused of anything remotely on the scale of what Trump has been charged with.
As I’ve said before: Prosecuting Donald Trump isn’t an act of partisanship, it’s a defense of our democracy.
