Yours is a more compassionate perspective than some, Anthony. It lends itself toward healing divisions within the country caused by a man who has the ability to divide like few others we've ever seen. Time will tell, my friend.

I’m not so sure. For DJT and his followers, women are generally seen as potential traitors, so Hope Hix would have been under double suspicion before she ever opened her mouth. And now she has. She is no longer a good woman, quiet, of service and disposable at the whim of her master. That will be punished.

@edwardgobbo9685 4 ай бұрын

You have fairly said it, in that if Biden were involved in a fraction of the shit that Trump has mired himself in, Democrats would drop him like a turd. Our system of government is our 'great leader,' not some man, (or woman). The point here is about where one's loyalties truly lie. Does one take an oath to the President, or to the Constitution? This is something that the former Republican Party seems to have forgotten in the twists and turns of their own rhetoric.

I'm sorry, I understand the thinking behind giving people "a soft place to land". But Hope Hicks did what she did knowingly and very willingly. And has never said she was sorry. And I think MSNBC Lawrence O'Donnell's 20min. piece called: 'The people call Hope Hicks'. Hits the nail on the head when it comes to certain people in Trump's orbit. Some people don't really regret what they did and probably still support Donald in their hearts. She hasn't "changed" I don't believe that for one second. If Hope had not been called/forced to be a witness we wouldn't have heard of her in or out of Court condemning Trump. Her tears were crocodile tears. No real regret or change. ✌🏻
