Every MAGA accusation is really a confession of their own intent and actions [1]

Trump supporters. Pretty much what you’d expect. Loud and crazed.
Here we have the usual “Two-Tiered” Justice system arguments. It’s actually quite amazing how well-disinformed these people are. They know every detail of the Trump case — except they have them all factually wrong. They know everything about the Hunter Biden cases, except the truth. Hillary should have been prosecuted. Obama did something or the other, I don’t know what it was but it was Bad! Trump is a poor helpless victim of the “Global elites” and the “Deep State” and the Magic Evil Pixies floating invisibly through the air, etc.
The problem here though is that their every accusation against others is really a confession of what they really want and what they really do.
Listening to this pack of Trumpsters, you’d almost think that somebody, somewhere, was actually feeding these people a curated story and narrative intended to frustrate and infuriate them to spew hate and rage toward just the right people. It’s literally weird how they complete each other’s sentences like they are almost a hive mind. It’s as if they can't actually think for themselves, they haven’t made an independent decision but instead can only parrot back the narrative. “Wauck, Hunter Biden’s Laptop. Eh! Two-Tiered Justice System Bwack! Bribery Tapes! Wauck Hilary’s Emails!” Strange, ain’t it? I wonder how that happened? I’ve said a lot of this before, but it bears repeating. They argue that the Bidens are corrupt because there's an audio tape of something, but when you bring up that there's an audio tape of Trump admitting that he doesn't have the ability to declassify a document (that he shouldn't legally have) they say "Let me hear the tape!"
They automatically believe one allegation - without actually seeing or hearing it - and then disbelieve the other also without seeing or hearing it. Trump's crimes are magically turned into Biden's crimes, and Hillary's crimes, and Obama’s crimes.
They say that we used to be "Energy Independent" under Trump - when in fact we still are Energy Independent under Biden. Oil exports from the U.S. are at a record high, and still greater than imports (which is what they usually meant by "independent"). By the time President Trump took office in 2017, U.S. net energy imports had fallen 75% from the 2005 level. In 2019, net energy imports turned negative, meaning the U.S. had become energy independent. So, while it is technically correct to say that the U.S. became energy independent while President Trump was in office, the reason was the shale boom that had begun in earnest in 2005. [...] In conclusion, 2022 marked the highest level of US energy independence since before 1950. This milestone was achieved through a combination of factors, including the shale boom which led to a steady decline in net energy imports, rather than being solely attributed to any specific presidential administration. But not only that clean energy outputs are rising and growing greater than the amounts generated by dirty fossil fuels like coal. Renewables vs Goal They argue that the border is "wide open" even though it isn't, the Biden Admin has stopped, arrested and expelled more migrants than ever before in history - and the rate of migrants entering has just dropped by 60% - below the levels of Trump's migration.
Washington — The number of unauthorized entries along the southern border has dropped to an average of 4,400 per day after soaring to 10,000 last week ahead of the expiration of Title 42 border restrictions, a senior U.S. official said Wednesday, attributing the sharp drop to increased deportations, tighter asylum rules and efforts by other countries to stop U.S.-bound migrants. Over the past two days, U.S. Border Patrol agents have recorded fewer than 4,000 migrant apprehensions, a 60% decrease from the record daily border crossings seen before May 11 when the Title 42 pandemic-related restrictions on migration expired, said Blas Nuñez Neto, the Department of Homeland Security's top immigration policy official. This has happened because using Trump’s Title 42 made things worse. The numbers of encounters are often misconstrued as a record of individual migrants. But the tally of encounters doesn't account for migrants who illegally cross multiple times -- one person could be counted as multiple encounters. And since Title 42 is not an immigration policy, there are no legal consequences for getting expelled, unlike for those processed under long-standing U.S. immigration law. Nearly half of all people processed under Title 42 in budget year 2021 – the first full year the policy was in effect -- had previously tried to cross into the U.S., according to Border Patrol data obtained by ABC News. The massive numbers of people being encountered at the border for the last two years aren't unique individuals — in many cases, they are the same people over and over again. This is why the numbers suddenly and dramatically drop without Title 42, now we can see who's really there. They argue that unemployment was at an all-time low under Trump, but ignore that he lost 2.6 Million jobs due to Covid while Biden has recovered 13 Million jobs and the current unemployment numbers are lower than Trump’s. U.S. employers added more than half a million jobs in July: more than twice as many as forecasters had expected. The unemployment rate fell to just 3.5%, matching the level before the COVID pandemic. Trump’s average GDP growth was just 1.7% and was the weakest showing since Herbert Hoover, while Biden has seen GDP growth of over 5% and the greatest economy in over 20 years since the Administration of Bill Clinton. US Deficit by Year Trump increased the deficit by almost $2.5 Trillion and increased the debt by $7 Trillion (or a total of 25%) while Biden has brought the deficit down by a record of more than $1.7 Trillion to a level that is about even with where Barack Obama started in his first year after Bush’s Great Recession. [You can also see from the chart that Obama brought the deficit down each year and that Trump increased it each year even *before* the pandemic hit.]
After his 6 New Jersey Casino bankruptcies Trump was kept afloat by selling almost $100 Million worth of mansions and condos to Russia Oligarchs and Mobsters . You don't think he might be a bit grateful to Russia and their chief mobster, Putin?
Ivanka magically gained 18 patents from China just before she started working in the White House - you don't think she earned some Communist Money using those patents? Together, Jared and Ivanka earned $640 Million while working in the White House - you don't think some of that came from overseas and it didn't impact their policy decisions?
Jared was given $2 Billion from Saudi Arabia after he helped downplay that MbS implemented a bone saw murder of a Wapo Journalist who was working on a story about Jared giving MbS classified info that helped him arrest, imprison, torture and extort $Millions from competitors in his own family.
You think that might be a conflict of interest? I do. And yet every time I bring any of this up to GOPers they ignore it. They pretend like it didn't happen.
But it did.
"Global Forces" control Biden but they somehow have no influence on Trump? Really?
But Biden is the one "Destroying" the country?
They want to be the ones pulling the trigger, not the ones in front of the proverbial firing squad.
