No, they're not blackmailing Trump, it's something else.

I used to think the Democrats had something on Trump and blackmailed him into sabotaging his effectiveness by deliberately alienating people
What if all they did was give him a taste of stardom in TV which is a very liberal industry? It could have thrown him completely off his game.
He had been trying to get nominated to run for president since 1988.
When they saw him getting close, they suggested a TV show and treated him like a diva and flattered him about his chances to be president.
Then when he started to politely turn them down, they probably blushed and said, "oh, you thought we meant for us?"
When he eventually became president, he played for glamor points by hot dogging on Twitter and alienated all the moderates and all the thinking Republicans. It had gotten personal for him.
He couldn't let go of being a star during the Jan. 6 riots and failed to call off the rioters.
Now he's undermining Republicans who support him because they only support him within the bounds of reason.

Failed to call off the rioters? You get all your news from CNN?

Trump is his worst enemy, as all humans are. He needs to shut up stop tilting at windmills and get over his lost (stolen) election.
Tweeting, twiddling and twattling are school girl pass times NOT Presidential communication tools. I hold this against Trump but someone should have been warning him about this childish behavior.
Yep, more crying about his personality and how he made people "FEEL"! I could care less about feelings, he was hands down the best president in modern history! He brought gas back down to below $2 a gallon, ended the USAs wars abroad(and did not start ANY wars), stock market was the highest ever, jobless claims were the LOWEST ever, ended the Iran nuclear deal, ended NAFTA, and the ACCOMPLISHMENTS go on and on and on!
BUT by all means, let's kick him out and install a moron that will/has destroy(ed) our country. They make therapists for "feelings", I wish they made one for RECORD high gas prices, unemployment, inflation, and LOW stock prices!(I sure could use some help with those REAL WORLD problems created by kicking Trump out of office)!

The first report of the rioters breaching barriers happened at 12:53.
Originally, before Trump's Twitter account was reinstated, it was reported that he did not try to call off the rioters until after 4pm. However, waiting an hour and 20 minutes is still kind of long. And, part of the tweet was deleted:
From Wikipedia:
He failed to repeal Obamacare, and he failed to get the wall built.
They knew he was going to be effective. They wanted to blunt his effectiveness on issues which required consensus.
He repealed all of obamacare that the judges would allow. He also was in the process of building the wall! Matter of fact, FJB shutdown the wall progress........and paid the contractors NOT to work(had to pay out the contracts) and left millions of $s of built fence laying on the ground.
So.....tell me again how that is Trump's failures!?
FJB
Just let it go dude...just..let it go...
Let what go? Just pointing out facts to counter feelings.
FJB
I'm in the "Screw your feelings" camp as well.
BUT, I hold Trump personally responsible for the twit being voted into office. If He (Trump) would have just shut his fat mouth and rode the wave into office we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now. The election was his to lose and he did a great job of it. I pray the powers that be in the Republican party are wise enough to evade Trump at all cost. For the second election in a row the presidency is ours to lose. The thing we need to remember is that Independents and moderates are going to choose in 2004. THEY WON'T CHOOSE TRUMP!
For me, it's DeSantis all the way. Tulsi Gabbard as running mate? Lets put someone up who's electable!
IMHO, no matter who runs on the republicans ticket, he will be vilified! Just remember, Trump received MORE votes than ANY sitting president BUT still lost......"fairly".......SMDH.
I understand that he had a mouth, but he never threw the 1st punch. People always forget that he simply hit back harder!
The mind control that our media(including social media) has is absolutely terrifying!
The election was lost because the fix was in. And nothing's going to change until we go back to paper ballots, strict ID requirements and clean voter rolls.
No matter how many facts you lay out for them it won't change anything.. they believe whatever MSM tells them.. feelings over facts... cheating..lying and hating the orange man is in..and they won't budge..
And that is exactly what the Rino's are hoping for.. same old song and dance..all the while growing their bank accounts by the tens of millions.. they don't have time to worry about the "Poor's".. they need another mansion...
Well, if they didn't breach barriers until 12:53, that means they ignored what he was tweeting at 12:15 when he called them off. How many times did he need to do it? The old "STOP or I'll say 'STOP' again" still work with you?

Don't forget all the FBI agents in the crowd dressed in MAGA swag that were feverishly pushing people to "go inside the capital"! That is also a proven fact! There were many more alphabet agencies involved that would be harder to prove, plus antifa.
Also, Tump was still giving his speech when they first began to approach the capital. The real MAGA supporters were still standing, watching, and listening to Trump.
No matter how you slice it........our country was WAY better off then than now, and that is a direct reflection of leadership!(FJBs failed leadership has brought nothing but pain and hardship)
Just sayin'
We even got that message via text. He never meant it to happen. ATIFA or Black Lives Matter was probably behind it.

If you hate Trump over his personality then quit your job because the boss or the owner is just as bad. Put your money where your mouth is.
Recall that the reason we don't have a wall and still have Obamacare is he didn't win a second term or enough allies in Congress.
People will vote against someone because they come off totalitarian, even if you don't care how he makes people feel.
In fact, they may be right because some conservative sources online are claiming he's been undermining his Republican supporters because they only support him within the bounds of reason.
Most who hate Trump do so because he put together a huge list of accomplishments in the private sector, then moved directly to the top of the political pile. Others, such as the current holder of the POTUS job never accomplished anything, but spent decades spending public money, and getting rich at the public trough. The media hates him because he made fools of them for predicting a Hillary landslide victory. As POTUS, he put together an incredible list of accomplishments with almost no help from anyone in politics or the media. That is why the common person loved him and still do.
Hopefully more eyes will be opened..we have a very short window to save what is left of this country.. and in my opinion.. Trump's the only one who can do it..
I'm not sure if Trump is the only one who can save our country.....BUT he is the only one that has even tried! He will have my support.
I understand, not everyone likes him AND that is fine! I just don't like when the media creates a false version of him by distorting the truth and flat out lying!
An informed electorate is what we REALLY need, but that is very hard when the media is 95% biased and social media is 99% biased.
Agree totally about the informed electorate. That's why so many liberal heads exploded when Elon Musk allowed DJT back on Twitter.
The enemies of this great country are hiding in plain sight- Just watch CBS mornings with Gayle King, late night with Stephen Colbert, The View on ABC- just a small percent of a very large percentage of leftist and very biased mainstream media. Yet, there viewers that hang on every word of these idiots.
Did you hear since Elon Musk took over Twitter they are finding out that the DNC was behind all the suspended accounts? Donald Trump ect. They snapped there fingers and Twitter did it. Two books everyone should read, both by Mark Levin "Unfreedom of the Press" and his latest "American Marxism"

Actor James Woods is another person that was censored and blocked on Twitter by the DNC. I hope he is successful in his lawsuit against the DNC. His patriotic viewpoints did not fit the democratic narrative and he was shut down just like DJT.
There are videos available of Elon Musk asking Twitter employees during online conferences and asking them pointblank questions. When he heard something he did not like, it was " Wrong answer, you're fired." Absolutely hilarious.
Good for Elon Musk.... It's obvious he didn't just buy Twitter to buy Twitter.

Mike Pence was bought and paid for..He knew what he was doing was wrong..but Money Talks..
Would you care to elaborate on that, Floyd? I haven't heard about it.
I think of Mike Pence stepping up and being the adult in the room when his petulant boss threw a temper tantrum. With no actual real evidence of anything that would have changed the results of the election, he assured that we followed precedent and law for turning over the office of president.
Having a healthy dose of skepticism can be a good thing, but only grasping at things that fuel a preconceived notion can be counter productive. Bob
He did exactly what the Rino's told him to do.. He knew the election was stolen..he showed everyone real fast who's side he was on...Joe Biden's....
He's a Rino.. just like Mitch McConnell.. they were tired of him messing up their playhouse..so he helped install Biden...and it doesn't matter how much proof someone has..if the court's refuse to hear it.....
I am told body language experts rather think this image shows the Saudis are his boss. Perhaps he's not a business genius but a made man. Perhaps he was created by the Saudis to protect their interests in America.
A firm handshake and a solid look in the eye is the mark of someone I would trust on their word! ^^^^^^^
Just don't shake a Saudis left hand.
Looks to me like he's saying "screw with me and I'll fly a Hellfire up your wazoo!" and it looks like ol' Abdul is believin' him.
Why is this guy your hero? He's a deal maker and a competent manager. His bosses, whoever they may be, likely said "put together a deal that will get you elected, then use up everybody's patience for Obamacare repeal and the wall."
Putting deals together is what he does.
