i-node, that list you provided all happened BEFORE he lost the November 2020 election.
Yes, that's correct. I'm careful about that. Perhaps Trump got over the line after the election, but I simply do not count that as a negative, because that was his job to do.

When the other side is stealing the election, the sitting president has a responsibility to fight it the best way he knows how. Whether he went too far is not for me to say. But the accusations against him are utter lies from Pelosi on down.

Trump had a duty to stand up and make clear that the election was stolen, because there is zero doubt at this point that it was. While I was pretty aware of what had happened by that time, most of the public was entirely unaware of the theft that had occurred. Had Trump not spoken out on Jan 6, which is in no way a crime under the First Amendment, Americans still would not know the theft had occurred. So, whatever Trump did was entirely necessary.

Today, anyone who wants to know the truth can easily choose to do so (you, included!). Many do. The cheating was extensive, multi-pronged, and fundamentally corrupt.

We know now the entire history of the cheating, published in the excellent Mollie Hemingway book, RIGGED: How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections, 87% 5-star ratings and essential reading for everyone who cares about American democracy. But we didn't have that on Jan 6. What we had then was knowledge of the Zuckerberg Steal -- a clearly corrupt operation dreamed up by David Plouffe (former Obama campaign manager and assistant to Mark Zuckerberg) and an underhanded operation to weaponize Covid to win the election, also planned by Plouffe. It was an evil betrayal but Plouffe made it happen. (You notice Plouffe isn't visible given the extent of the disaster he created).

Just a little worried about you, Ten...
