It's boring, no interaction just Trump's grievances and lies. 

Good on you. If someone lies to me more than a few times, I stop listening to anything they say. I won't read anything he writes.

What's needed in the GOP is a 'Reformation' type split. They need to find their own Martin Luther or Calvin to bring them a French Revolution type purge. 

Not guillotined, but excised. They are very lost and their Pope Trump needs exorcism. I don't see anyone with the chops even as their cowardice and misogyny was so blatantly exposed. I honestly don't know how republican women tolerate being in that party that shows absolutely no respect for them and their abilities or needs?

So there's this theory that the CDC announcing that vaccinated people don't need to wear masks is really just timed to distract from the crises in the Middle East, the Pipeline closure, and the border.

I don't think that's true but what is true is the need to downplay any good news like Rep. Griffin states "yeah it's good but what about......" .  They need to keep the highlight on his challenges and how ineffective he is at handling them.  

My conspiracy theory is that Republicans started the cyber attack and closed the pipelines, and they told their buddy in Israel to start a war to make Biden look bad.  (sarcasm)

January 6, 2021 was just another tourist day in Washington.  Nothing much more to talk about.

So I hear that Trump's blogs are not getting many visitors and I was wondering if his supporters just don't read? 

More than a hundred words is fifty too much? 

They can't read anything pass headlines so I wonder about depth. Maybe it explains a lot about them? 

 

They engaged with him on Twitter so yes they can read.  

But it does seem they aren't engaging as much.  Perhaps this is a good sign that they are going to look elsewhere.

So it would seem that all of my rants about Louis Dejoy is coming to fruition. Caught in the same scheme that brought that Agnew. 

So many pleasurable moments watching all of these corrupt officials from Trump's administration going to jail in the next few years ???

Has he ever got anything right?

So an out of control pandemic and a country reeling from a violent attack on the capitol that was inspired by the lies and corruption of the previous president is your idea of looking pretty good?

What is more important than the health of the people and the health of the republic? Trump did immeasurable damage to this country and his efforts aren't yet concluded. Despots don't retire quietly to the seaside.

We've covered those topics.

My reply was to the poster about his article blaming Trump on the current mess in the Middle East. 

Nice deflection, though.

You still don't know what deflection means, besides, even if it was deflection (it's not) you made a point to tell us that you don't care about deflection previously.  Your response must indicate that yeah...you think that a poorly managed public health crisis and a Republican sponsored insurrection are evidence of things looking good after Trump.  That would be consistent with your other statements.

I did take it that he was only talking about the Middle East being in good shape and perhaps it was.  

At best you misunderstood that he meant or if you did you deflected.  Own it.  No one cares anymore.

I can't access the article.

Regardless, Trump isn't necessary to blame for the current blow up.  But his predictions of a "New Middle East" full of peace certainly was a false prediction.   

Certainly though it isn't necessarily a failure of either Trump or Biden that there's fighting in the Middle East right now.

This was written when Trump was in office.
