You don’t have to change anyone’s mind to have a successful conversation. Sometimes just gaining perspective, even in a disagreement, is productive. I don’t agree with a lot of opinions on this thread but I admit I have gained some perspective even in disagreement. That’s not to say there’s still garbage in this thread, because there is that too.
I think competing dialogue is good, and enjoy reading the other side, despite obvious disagreements with many of the positions.
Apparently it was a short term rental (4 yrs) not the longer 8 year rental period.
And it hasn't been rent free. He collected $200 million+ from his grift about using the $ for fighting election returns, and put it in his pocket...I guess for his personal lawsuits or golf. I do wonder how long he can go on with those particulars con games. I'm guessing the fundraising emails may still be going out.
Trump seems to consume your thoughts quite a bit, free or not. Look the guys a bozo. He was elected to try to rid the country of its problem people in government that needed to go. Those people got pissed and waged war and found a way to get him out of office. Trump was too much of an egotistical idiot not to let his childish behavior get in the way and allowed himself to get beat by probably the weakest candidate ever. So we move on and buckle up. We still have most of the idiots in office that have done nothing for 20, 30 and even 40 years so nothing will change and we will continue to see the buffoonery in DC.Quote:

There are credible sources reporting that social media is full of calls to have further violence.
Some on the 17th (I guess it matches the letter Q's place in the alphabet) and on Inauguration Day.
The President may be blocked from social media, but he damn sure could call a press conference.
He could actually condemn the violence unleashed on the Capitol in strong terms (not I love you, you're patriots) the same way he condemned the violence that sprung out of the protests this summer. Then they were scum and thugs, etc. Now their patriots.
Maybe, just maybe, he'd help calm down the rhetoric and help prevent further violence.
Then again, maybe they'd turn on him like they did on Lindsey Graham. I don't know.
But he's still got the bully pulpit, and could actually use it to help the country for a change.
Problem people? He just added to the pile and then fired them all because he thinks he knows everything. Did you vote for Mitch for his 7th term? People bitch about the old fogies in Congress and then continue to elect the circular firing squad.
I'm also going to make an exception for Discord. You know, since we need at least one Among Us night a week and all.Quote:

But now he regrets making the video and says he's not resigning.

Someday all people will figure out this guy only cares for himself, not for America.
It's still not too late for him to try and help the country by holding a press conference and maybe preventing further violence between now and the 20th.
