For real. It’s one thing if you’re commissioned to build a site. It’s entirely different if you choose to build a site on your own time to support a candidate you like. The real issue would be if the site owner then tried to skim off the top of whatever donations get collected. Because at that point, it’s just straight up fraud.
Wait has everything trump done been under a PAC? Isn’t the pac law literally written so that they don’t have to disclose anything but what went in. IRS or any financial watchdog cant ask what happened to that money?
I find it funny and fitting that most of this is written like how you would talk to a 5 year old when trying to explain to them for the first time the difference between right and wrong
I also like the turning around of “make america great again”. I don’t necessarily agree that America is “already great”, but I do like how this points out that the slogan itself is unpatriotic, since that’s an irony most Trump supports fail to grasp
If they end up having it again, for the people that calm, eloquent, well-stated reasoning doesn’t reach, well…
You know how Polio was a horrible, debilitating disease, but we still keep it around in a lab? Just in case we ever need it to cure something even worse?
Forgive me for reminding everyone of a dark time, so deeply buried in our memories… but if this has to happen twice… Trumpers should be goatse’d. The polio of the internet.
In our country, everyone has to follow the rules, no matter who they are. Our Constitution, the big rule book of our nation, says that we’re all equal. Nobody gets special treatment.
I want to talk a bit about lying. A lie is when someone doesn’t tell the truth on purpose. It’s like saying you ate an apple when you really ate a cookie. Lying is bad because it breaks trust. Imagine if your friends didn’t believe you anymore because you lied a lot. In some cases, like when people lie to the courts or the police, it’s not just bad, it’s a crime.
Before we dive deeper, it’s essential to understand what personal character means. Personal character is the mix of qualities that define a person, like honesty, kindness, and courage. It’s how you act when no one is looking. It’s doing the right thing, even when it’s tough. Our character is like a muscle; the more we use it in good ways, the stronger it becomes.
When we think about American presidents, there are some character traits that we’ve traditionally valued. We want leaders who are honest, brave, and selfless. Why? Because these qualities help presidents make the best choices for all of us. An honest president tells us the truth, even when it’s hard. A brave one isn’t scared to make tough decisions. A selfless leader puts the country’s needs before their own. These qualities have guided our nation through good and tough times, and they remind us of what’s great about America. And, remember America is ALREADY GREAT. We didn’t need an improvement. We only needed someone with good character to take the job of president for a while and then pass it on to the next citizen.
Now, there’s something else we should think about. Asking people to give money to your political campaign is okay when it’s for the right reasons, like getting support to try to make the country better. But asking your friends do donate money to the Patriot Legal Defense Fund and then using that money to defend yourself from crimes? That doesn’t seem right. It’s like if a friend kept asking for lunch money but didn’t buy lunch. People give their money to people who want to be president to make things better for everyone, not just to help one person with their problems.
“A president is a citizen that has the job of president for a while. But he is still just a citizen and subject to its laws.”
Now, Donald Trump is in trouble with the law in Georgia. This is the fourth time something like this has happened. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but if someone keeps getting into trouble, we should think about what that means about someones character. Can all of the people be wrong who are bring criminal charges against him?
Being honest is really important. If a leader isn’t truthful, it’s hard to trust them and that makes them dangerous. Our Constitution helps us when things get tough and when we’re not sure about our leaders. We need to make sure everyone tells the truth and does the right thing.
We should care about what’s right and good for our country, not just one person. As we watch what’s happening with Trump, let’s remember to always look for the truth. That’s what being an American is all about.
Thanks, and let’s always do what’s right for our country.
Oh! and if you want to help makes things better for EVERYONE, not just one selfish person.
Imo thoughts like this are part of the problem. If we can’t humanize our enemies then we can never work together. If we take away the humanity of another group then we’re no better than them.
Problem is, the supporters strongly believe the election was stolen and that the way the votes were counted was illegal. My parents are Trump supporters, I just can’t believe what comes out of their mouths when they talk about this stuff. And I don’t know where they get it, probably watching fox news 24x7 , I don’t know. But they truly believe that Trump should have won, Biden is an imposter, and all this legal trouble Trump is in is just the evil left trying to shut him down because they feel threatened by him, that he’s never done anything wrong. When you have people that believe that kind of stuff, of course they’re willing to send money to help with legal battles, they believe he’s innocent, they believe the coup to take over the government wasn’t Jan 6th, it was on election day. They’re so brainwashed.
Before we dive deeper, it’s essential to understand what personal character means.
I mean, the rabid Trump supporters are working from such a different starting point and set of assumptions. It makes perfect sense to go right back to basics: definitions of “lying” and “personal character”.
