You're right. This administration has done nothing but sit on it's laurels the past 2 years.

I think given the performance of DOGE, the wars, the executive orders, the epstein files, we can make a SMALL logical stretch here and assume, FOR THE MOMENT, that this happened.

Can you give examples of a few allegation stories that have been later retracted, in relation to the current administration?

Neither of these involved legal allegations later proving to be false, they were simple news story retractions (just like Fox News did Sunday with Trump's dignified transfer performance [0]).

The topic at hand was a whistleblower report, which would have serious ramifications if proven false. It isn't apples-to-apples.

Trump suing a news outlet (bbc) for how they edited a piece doesn't seem like "a report of allegations that ended up not being true".

DOGE was a shit show. It didn’t need to happen and achieved nothing. It was distraction so that musk could gut regulatory organizations probing his self-drive claims.

I was for the admin based on claims of lawful immigration enforcement and keeping out of foreign wars. however, after inept efforts with immigration, doge and the Iran war I will not be for republicans again.


Do you find those more impactful on your future voting than the lies, the massive amount of money funneled to the trump family, threatening to invade our allies, and the epstein involvement plus its subsequent cover up?

I'm not trying to be snarky but I am trying to take the opportunity to gauge how some folks are prioritizing these things when they vote.


I think it has a lot to with where people get their information. If you stick your head in the Fox News / NewsMax sand you aren't even going to see the all of the corruption that was clear before the election.

And the twitter sewer is full of unsubstantiated rage bait and thinly veiled toxic innuendo. Musk knew exactly what he was doing when he used his direct control of a multi billion dollar communication network to influence the election.

I'm just glad some people are finally saying "hey, wait a minute..."


Frank answer - the total release of Epstein files was a promise during election time. As was not getting into foreign wars. Immigration enforcement is a problem - all they had to really do was turn the tap off at the border and use legal means to deport as opposed to the mess they created.

During the previous time they were in power - these were mostly adhered to. Tariffs - again inept. They need to be targeted to keep allies close and wean off of Chinese dependence.

So all in all - most of the corruption didn’t exist during trumps first term.
