9. A trumpkin never answers a simple question, always deflects.

Example:

Q: If there was rampant fraud in the 2020 election, why did all 50 states certify the votes and the courts refused to uphold 60+ challenges?

A: They didn't look hard enough for the fraud.

Now who is the MORON here? A trumpkin or the well informed voter?
(A rhetorical question with the attendant )

Actually, that isn't a deflection, it's an answer. It's a stupid answer, but it is on point.

A deflection would be something like "Funny how Biden is now playing right into the Chinese plan for world domination!"

A closer deflection would be "Those Democrat run cities are full of fraud. That's how they stay in power. "
#9, A question I've never gotten an answer to from a tRumpkin in over four years is "If tRump is such a great president why does he lie so much". Not one direct answer.

I asked something similar to a trumper friend/neighbor. "Not withstanding all the lies, isn't it obvious that this guy just cannot govern? He has not had a stable cabinet during his entire first term and now no one with any credibility will come in to work for him. So why do you want this guy to be reelected?".

No answer.

No answer.
These people's ability to think has been cancelled.

It's ludicrous that the DC medical examiner determined that the strokes that Officer Brian Sicknick died from following the insurrection were a natural cause of death.

Apparently I'm not the only one to think those strokes were a result of massive stress that can be directly attributed to the violence of the insurrection.

When I first heard the reporting, my thoughts were, "what party is this examiner a member of?"

Sprayed with Bear repellent physically attacked then a stroke......

The question none have ever answered for me;

Define "Great", please?

They all want to "Make America Great Again", but refuse to define just what "Great" means to them.

Chris Wallace Repeatedly Grills Kevin McCarthy on Trump’s Jan. 6 Rage Call
DUCK & DODGE
The Fox News anchor pressed McCarthy on whether he’s discussed his Jan. 6 chat with Trump since then—something the GOP leader vehemently denied.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-ne...an-6-rage-call

Quote:
The Fox anchor specifically referenced Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler’s claims about the call.

“She said while the January 6th riot was in full force, you phoned President Trump and ask him to call off his supporters and, according to you, she said, the president responded, ‘Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election then you are,’” the veteran anchor explained. “Is she right? Is that what President Trump said to you?”

McCarthy immediately deflected, instead claiming he was the first person Trump spoke to after the seditious crowd broke into the building and that the then-president promised him on that call that he’d do something to stop the violence.

“And that’s what he did,” the congressman added. “He put a video out later.”

“Quite a lot later and it was a pretty weak video,” Wallace retorted, referencing Trump’s statement in which he told the rioters “we love you” while still peddling the election lies that led to the riots...
