Unbelievable nonsense to believe this guy is going to save our Republic.
The Republic will not be saved without bloodshed.

Don't get me wrong, I really hope you're right but he said similar stuff ~ when he was a candidate the first time around and we ended up with among other things, him praising the Clinton's and Joe Biden as POTUS. Not a good outcome

If they wanted him dead, I think he'd be dead, like JFK. Feels like we're being played by the establishment again and Trump's the lead "willing" character.

Time's telling.
But they haven’t let him ride off into the sunset either. He’s going through hell in New York , bastards raided his home..

He literally hired the Swamp and then acted confused over the outcome.

I saw similar when W. Bush was POTUS. A lot of Republicans go along with nonsense, when their "team" is in charge.
I will buy this, and postulate...

Trump, I think, was actually surprised he won at some level. He scrambled and this can be seen in the choices, and employment length, of his direct hires. He was certainly a pariah, for better or worse, with the slander of the 51 IC folks that challenged his perceived validity.

Sadly, I have serious doubts there are enough folks that are far enough from the swamp to run the swamp.

But, if Biden runs, I'll vote for anyone but Haley on the other side. No more settling for the best of the worst.

That's no game. Homegirl Letitia and Rikhter Engeron who are currently tag teaming Trump....you really think Trump's in on that? He's already found Trump guilty for committing no crime. He's in on that? All this is burning through loads of cash. They're going to steal his money and revoke his license to do business in NY. Bank on that. Yes, Trump will appeal, and hopefully, sooner or later, that will be overturned, but meanwhile, they've hurt Trump badly.

This is real life, not some WWF story line.

Waving a foreign nations flag and breaching the White House
They had to install riot fences and still.

Yea, I’m the danger to America’s future.

Is this an insurrection?

I agree with the "**** Joe Biden" chant, but anyone waiving a flag other than the US flag should be treated with extreme prejudice.

I see a shit load of shenanigans with this sign. We can do this! I quit chopping years ago when the software wanted a subscription, but I am absolutely positive this can be a classic basis for creativity.

First one should be those crazy ass red LED eyes that the early Star Wars aliens had along with some sweet horns. Ala AC/DC.

Daytime drama from my perspective. When he actually gets convicted of anything real and “they steal his money”, I’ll believe it. Dollars aren’t wealth. The vast majority aren’t even physical, they’re electronic inputs that can be created and destroyed at will, (by particular entities). Those entities control government's, media, corporations, etc., government’s don’t control them.

These same “Powers” that are allegedly persecuting Trump, created the Plandemic and shut down most of the world. Then they introduced their “vaccine” and inoculated a huge portion of the World’s population with it. Trump not only stood by while they did this, he promoted it, even took credit for it.

He’s either in on it or seriously stupid. I’d much rather give a politician like DeSantis a shot. He’s done a great job as governor and doesn’t have the baggage… Or the Trading Cards. Seriously, what kind of person issues trading cards with pictures of himself as a superhero? Bill, how do you justify him and support him doing that?

DeSantis has been a good governor “politically” but his inaction on the property owners insurance in the state has been disastrous.

Do you know that you CAN NOT get insurance on a house or commercial property in Florida if the roof is 15 years old? The current insurance situation is a disaster.

The insurance companies have Tallahassee in their pockets.

20 years for the roof and no insurance company will cover any house older than 20 years. i am dealing with it and have to go through CITIZENS for now, which is backed by the state....our tax $$$.

Meanwhile, citizens is "depopulating" and i am being forced into the only other company available. It's bullshit.

As an outsider, looks like Florida is a nightmare for insurance companies with hurricanes and such? On top of the crazy inflation and crowding out effects of the federal government’s seemingly endless, spending spree.

I can’t imagine insurance companies are walking away from profits. Are they?

Probably isn’t profitable for them to cover it, then. Insurance is a business, not a right, they have to earn a profit or disappear.

There’s a reason I’m living in OmaHell, in sub-zero temps and it isn’t because I like it. Among other things, Insurance is cheap and plentiful.

The 'trading cards' were in poor taste, but really, how are they different than Bitcoin, Doge coin, etc.? Somebody somewhere made those things up out of thin air, just totally worthless, artificial creations, not unlike Kwanza, but they caught on, and now people trade them just like they trade other totally worthless things, like fiat currency. And the people who bought the Trump 'trading cards' have done pretty well with their investments, so far.

If people can buy and sell an internet meme dog, why not Trump superhero cards? It's the same thing.

Weird, an expression of vanity, but not a deal breaker. Just one of those cringe things you have to accept to get a populist leader who, while making mistakes, isn't trying to destroy America. I'll settle for trading cards if we can stop the illegal alien army overrunning our country.

The insurance companies are corrupt. And they are dictating the law through their lobbying practices.
It all started after Hurricane Andrew and they have been bullying the state lawmakers for decades.
And DeSantis is only offering lip service.
