The Donald Trump Score Card

Let Trump have his rallies, as soon as it's over round up everybody that attended the rally, quarantine them all together in a school gymnasium somewhere for 14 days.... Nobody in, nobody out. Problem solved.

 

Birx and Fauci are again contradicting Trump and Pence who keep trying to put a euphoric face on the pandemic.

Trump’s Top COVID Adviser: Deaths Will Soon Start to Rise

excerpt:

"While the overall mortality rate in the country has held steady, there was already significant evidence that states experiencing a large uptick in positive coronavirus cases were currently seeing a corresponding rise in deaths, or would in the coming weeks. In Phoenix, hospital officials are running out of morgue beds, Mayor Kate Gallego told MSNBC Friday. Maricopa County, where Phoenix is located, is expected to soon receive refrigerated "morgue trucks" similar to those used in New York City during the peak of its COVID crisis, she said.

An increase in mortality rates across the country comes as President Trump is pushing states to reopen schools for the fall semester. This week the president and top administration officials, including Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, launched a campaign aimed at getting students back into the classroom despite the widespread fear among health experts that overcrowding could only exacerbate asymptomatic community transmission. "

 

By Saturday the tropical storm will have long since bypassed our area.

When confronted with that information the Trump White House said they don’t want early arrivals to get wet from the downpours.
Yet during previous rallies that never concerned them.

I wonder what’s really going on, too many sick staffers or Secret Service agents?

 

Trump is becoming increasingly fringe.

He's threatening to end tax-exempt status to schools he thinks are indoctrinating students with radical left ideas.

Rain ending in the morning and partly cloudy later in the day.

Trump can always change the forecast with his Sharpie pen to include rain if the forecast that matters to him predicts low turnout.

Windy in the evening, which isn't good for Trump's cotton candy hair.

 

The way his wet firecracker rally went in Tulsa, people at the New Hampshire rally likely could have arrived at the start time and occupied a small fraction of the available space.

 

Cotton candy is a good description although I always assumed a canary decided to nest on his head.

 

The rest of the world is befuddled by Trump and his following belittling social distancing efforts such as the wearing of face coverings.

During the peak of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. when deaths sometimes were over 2000 per day, Trump told Michigan state officials to bargain with protestors who stormed the capital who weren't wearing masks and who were carrying guns, referring to them as good people who wanted to end the stay-at-home order. That type of incident and attitude will perplex the people of just about any country.



As coronavirus surges in Republican territory, so does rage over masks

As coronavirus surges in Republican territory, so does rage over masks

excerpt:

"But Baker said that no other country’s citizens have taken such a willful stance against masks, and that international health officials have been particularly stunned that American leaders at the highest levels have done relatively little to urge mask-wearing, and at times have even seemed to belittle it.

“This idea that you’re going to make a political statement by infecting people around you just seems absolutely outrageous to me and I think to most people who think about it,” Baker said. “Why would you do that? Why would you encourage that behavior?”

Baker said the dissent against masks has coupled dangerously with the American rush to reopen businesses even as infection cases reach record levels.

“Not endorsing mask use and also encouraging the country to get back to work just seems like a terrible contradiction because, actually, mass masking would be one of the best tools for helping a country get back to work and it’s cheap and effective,” Baker said. “You’re just creating this perfect storm for yourselves in the U.S. by doing that.”"

 

Roger Stone's prison term is set to begin next week which puts pressure on Trump to consider a pardon or commutation.

Trump to consider pardon for Roger Stone

excerpt:

"Stone, who worked directly for the Trump campaign in 2015 and then as an unofficial adviser, was convicted in November for lying to Congress, obstructing an official proceeding and witness tampering.

He was facing seven charges and was found guilty on each one. Those were rooted in actions he took surrounding former Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III's Russia election meddling probe."

 

Yeah, but Trump does this shyt all the time, so all's good, right?



We
Are
So
Fucked

 

Trump commuted Stone's prison sentence.

Trump Commutes Sentence Of Longtime Friend And Adviser, Roger Stone

 

Not entirely unexpected, although I thought he would wait until after he lost the November Presidential Election before he initiated a series of pardons
to go along with what will likely become his scorched-earth policy

 

That's going to be his policy, win or lose....

 

He's just patterning after his idols, Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kin Jung Un. Control the thoughts and news, what's taught in government - censored schools = raise a generation of believing LEMMINGS. And HE talks about indoctrination .............................

 

This is EASILY the MOST CORRUPT, CRIMINAL administration in the history of the U.S. I pray to GOD that there are legal ways to nail these crooked, criminal bastards after Rump is out of office. And he was going to "drain the swamp." !!!! He enlarged it, deepened it, and added on to it. Rump is a national disgrace. The rest of the world laughs at us here in the U.S. for electing such an incompetent, CORRUPT asshole.

The price of having a pitifully uneducated electorate.

 

Who couldn't see Stone's pardon coming. But neither Stone nor Rump can escape the all-seeing eye of Almighty God. They've brought judgement upon themselves for their corruption, lies, disdain for law, & arrogance. We will ALL be judged for ALL our actions - or lack thereof - EVERY ONE OF THEM. No one escapes His vision and knowledge. No one can pull an "end run" around God. Like it or not - believe it or not .......................... Judgement is coming and is unavoidable.

Stone was convicted on EVERY charge against him ............................ and Rump said, in effect - "You're a free man. No punishment at all. Not one day in jail."

"Vengeance is mine." says the Lord. I find solace in that fact, concerning such CORRUPT, CRIMINAL actions.

 

Having a pitifully uneducated president is the price we pay?

 

He's desparate for votes. However, this will piss off his base
Trump says he'll sign order with 'road to citizenship' for DACA recipients

 

Trump says he will be issuing an executive order to give DACA recipients a road to citizenship.

It is similar to his accusation of executive overreach at Obama when he issued an executive order in 2012 that started DACA. But Trump is doing even more than Obama by offering citizenship to DACA recipients.

Trump is mistakenly claiming that the recent Supreme Court ruling about DACA gives him broad power to issue an executive order that is equivalent to the power of Congress passing legislation.

He's also blaming Congress for not passing immigration legislation, but it was drafting legislation during his term. He rejected the bipartisan immigration legislation in February 2018 because it didn't conform to his strict requirements of limiting immigration overall, even when Congress appeared to be willing to include $25 billion for his border wall.

Trump says he'll sign order with 'road to citizenship' for DACA recipients

excerpt:

"When former President Obama created the program through a Department of Homeland Security memorandum in 2012, he was criticized for executive overreach, although DACA only provides temporary deferral from deportation and a work permit to certain undocumented immigrants who meet a set of conditions.

After Trump rescinded that memo in 2017, he gave Congress six months to pass a statutory replacement for DACA, sparking a flurry of legislative activity that ultimately ended in a deadlock, as the White House nixed a nascent bipartisan agreement.

That legislation was replaced by a Republican-led bill, which included provisions unacceptable to Democrats, such as severe reductions of family-based immigration and the diversity visa program.

Negotiations fully broke down after Trump's rescission was blocked by the courts, starting a two-year process that ended in June's Supreme Court ruling.

In Trump's view, the Democrats broke a deal in leaving the negotiating table after the bipartisan deal had been nixed by the White House."
