Boris, Natasha and Trump

Here are two cartoons making fun of Trump’s closeness with Putin and Russia. The black and white one was in the New Yorker. Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale were characters in Rocky and Bullwinkle animated TV shows.

Bad tweet by FiveThirtyEight

Every example you cite concerns Republicans. You should say this in your tweet.

Republican hypocrisy on Biden’s student loan plan

They didn’t complain about Trump’s tax cuts or PPP loans they got that were forgiven. Here are a few examples to which I replied.

You didn’t care about the truck driver when you gave tax cuts to rich people.
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) August 25, 2022

Your party bribed rich people with the Trump tax cut.
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) August 24, 2022

If that’s true, Republicans should like it. Your party is big on helping the wealthy.

The Pet Rock

The Pet Rock was a toy from 1975. It was just a rock you were supposed to treat like a pet. Over a million were sold!

Indict Trump if he’s guilty. Don’t worry about what his cult thinks.

If Trump is guilty (which I believe he is), he should be indicted.

I am not worried about dividing the country. We’re already there.

I am not worried about what they would do to Biden if they win the House. They would do it anyway even if Trump wasn’t indicted. I haven’t forgotten the impeachment of Bill Clinton (which was excessive for what he did) or the “Lock Her Up” chants. They have shown they don’t care about polarizing the country by their past actions.

I don’t expect the Trump cult to revert back to normal if Trump isn’t indicted. Trump will still be angry. They’ll still be angry. Trump escaped indictment for obstructing the Russia probe and he’s still angry.

It sets a terrible precedent if he isn’t indicted if it’s appropriate – nobody is above the law.

Totally disagree. Do you think Republicans would ever pardon a Democratic president? They wanted to lock Hillary Clinton up, impeached Bill Clinton, and will inpeach Biden if they take the house. If Trump is guilty, he should pay the price.

Republicans don’t care about dividing the country – for example, how they handled the Garland SC nomination and the insurrection. Their Supreme Court majority didn’t care when they overturned Roe.
— Harris Levy (@HarrisL585) August 22, 2022

There’s an article making the rounds today saying the only way to deal with trump is to let him off scot-free or else republicans will be angry and violent.

What a load of bull. If we fail to hold trump accountable *that’s* what will invite republican violence and fascism.

Trump and his movement cannot be permitted to set the price of social peace — and preservation of the rule of law itself — at a grant of absolute impunity for Trump. https://t.co/Czu91izJ6b https://t.co/aRoCFT2YHi
