There was no President Biden then, there was only President Trump. He and his "select" committee masterminded the entire failed coup attempt. It was all orchestrated on Twitter, and by secret phone calls to Mark Meadows.

Chump did all of it... Why should the taxpayers give him $1.8 billion? He owes that much to all of us.

I have heard several times during both of trump’s terms that he doesn’t accept a salary, or that he donates it. Has any reporter asked to see evidence of either? Not accepting his salary is easier said than done, for legal reasons. I heard JFK wanted to do that and was told he couldn’t; he’d have to accept it and donate it, which he actually did. If trump is donating his full salary, which charity or charities? Do you really think he would pass up an opportunity to brag about donating to a specific, legitimate charity?

Reminds me of Senator Joseph McCarthy's "I have here in my hand a list of 205 card-carrying Communists in the State Department." Consummate liars often try to be overly specific in an effort to appear more credible.

Repugs are good at waving papers around, not so good at presenting evidence.

I remember, back in 2001, a rightwing acquaintance argued that republicans were responsible for Clinton’s economic policies. I pointed out that Clinton’s budget was passed when democrats had a majority in Congress and the bill didn’t get a single republican vote. Of course the guy I was talking to was so brazen that this didn’t stop him for a second, he just pivoted to the next lie and then claimed that he won the argument.
