I'm with you on this. Something tells me the people here arguing that Flaherty wasn't coercive or threatening would be arguing just the opposite if this was the Trump administration. Apparently it's about time for our collective citizenry to relearn some generational lessons from history, preferably not the hard way.

    I haven't seen any outcry from Hardcore trumpists. There is an outcry for anything Biden does. Is it possible you want them not to support Trump doing that, even though they might do?

    They never raised a stink, so I have to assume they, at the very least, didn't have a problem with it.

    Horse shit. Even people who swear up and down that they don't like Trump pretend he has done nothing wrong and the only negative press about him is a smear campaign by the wokestream media. He's very likely going to get the Republican Nomination again.
