Didn’t put it up again until 2020.

It hasn’t been up since he’s returned, but I will fly it again the day he dies.

Not proudly, like I did when I first retired, glad to be an American and thankful for my fellow Americans. Half of America is populated by evil trolls apparently. Not as trusting of my fellows any more.

Couldn't you have seen it then? Especially after the Access Hollywood tape?

Sometimes I wonder if all of Trump's supporters in 2016 just didn't know all the important deplorable facts about him, because they only get their news from Fox--maybe Miles was like that and didn't know either. If in 2016 you cared at all about decency and deplored cruelty, it seems that only by isolating yourself from the critical information that was out there in 2016 could you later take a job in his administration like Miles did. Just getting your news from places that weren't Fox would make it quite clear and obvious in 2016 how horrible he would be as a president.

I often suspected that many people who voted for Trump in 2016 just never saw the Access Hollywood tape. Of course, a lot did, and voted for him anyway--there's something seriously wrong with those people.

I'm glad he had the position he did. He was kept from doing much worse than he did because there were still some decent people serving under him.

I believe he and his family have received so many maga death threats that their friends stopped associating with them. I appreciate that he stood up for his principles and recognized Metamucillini for what he is.

knew from before he the slithered down the escalator. Some realized soon after. Far too many need the lead pipe to hit them in the head to see the danger. Taylor is the 'lead pipe' type. Here's the problem I have in accepting those who claim they were bamboozled, scammed, lied to, whatever. I don't trust their judgement in any situation or circumstance. It's clear that they care only about themselves and/or see in the Convicted Felon their own bigotry, racism, hatred of anyone not in their cult.

I hope he can look up from hell and see the massive, worldwide celebrations taking place.

He is beyond evil.

largely because of things that Miles Taylor said were likely to happen. I've definitely found him to be someone worth listening to.
