The Donald Trump Score Card

Personally I always felt he reminded me of the Penguin!

 

Indiana is big Trump supporter country. Mike Pence is from Indiana. Our Indiana newspapers this morning are saying Jon Ryan Schafer is the founder of the Oath Keepers and has just pleaded guilty to his part in the riot and invasion of the United States Capitol on January 6th during the year of Our Lord 2021 right here in America. The founder of the Proud Boys is also from Indiana.

 

I heard that he is cooperating with the FBI, but who knows if he is telling the truth. They are going to put him in the witness protection program.

 

HA HA HA HA! So he goes to the witness protection program to keep his oath? HA HA HA HA WEEZ WEEZ CAUGH CAUGH!

 

Too bad.

 

Trump loyalists start ‘America First Caucus’ to promote U.S. as ‘uniquely Anglo-Saxon’

excerpt:

"Far-right Republicans in Congress are forming an “America First Caucus” that would promote nativist policies, according to materials outlining the group’s goals first obtained by Punchbowl News.

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Paul A. Gosar (R-Ariz.) are reportedly behind it, with Reps. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) and Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) signed on as early members. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who faces federal and House Ethics Committee investigations over allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, tweeted that he was joining Greene in the caucus.

“We will end wars, stop illegal immigration & promote trade that is fair to American workers,” said Gaetz, who has denied all allegations against him.

A seven-page document that lays out policy positions for the caucus includes nativist language and perpetuates the falsehood that there was widespread fraud and corruption in the 2020 election. According to the document, the group says it seeks to advance former president Donald Trump’s legacy, which means stepping “on some toes” and sacrificing “sacred cows for the good of the American nation.”

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif) and Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) disagreed Feb. 24 on former president Donald Trump's role in the Republican Party.

In a section on immigration, the document describes the United States as a place with “uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions” and argues that “societal trust and political unity are threatened when foreign citizens are imported en-masse into a country, particularly without institutional support for assimilation and an expansive welfare state to bail them out should they fail to contribute positively to the country.”"

 

Hasn't it always been about that ... a White Christian Nation?

 

Code for white supremacist.

 

Sick......

 

Stone's black and white attire makes him look more like the Penguin than the Penguin.

 

U.S. counties with more Trump voters are less likely to be vaccinated, data shows | WKRN News 2

excerpt:

"Just last week, a Quinnipiac University poll found 45% of Republicans say they don’t plan on getting the COVID-19 vaccine, while 50% planned to or had.

Meanwhile, a Monmouth University poll from April 14 found political affiliation was the main factor in deciding who chooses to get vaccinated. Forty-three percent of Republicans in this poll said they want to avoid getting the vaccine, while only 5% of Democrats said this.

Overall, according to Monmouth, President Biden is receiving a majority of approval for his administration’s handling of the pandemic. Sixty-two percent said he has done a good job addressing the emergency, while 31% said he has done a poor job."

 

Compare that with Trump's 37% approval in October 2020, 25% lower than Biden's.


Trump's handling of coronavirus pandemic hits record low approval: Reuters/Ipsos poll

 

How we know the drop in Trump’s approval rating in January reflected a real shift in public opinion

How we know the drop in Trump’s approval rating in January reflected a real shift in public opinion

excerpt:

"Similarly, among approvers who rated Trump’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak as “excellent” in August, 12% shifted from approval to disapproval, compared with 35% among those who judged his handling of the pandemic as “good.”

But virtually equal shares of all of these groups took part in the January survey, so the overall decline in approval was not a result of a disproportionate decline in cooperation among the most enthusiastic Trump supporters. In fact, 91% of panelists who participated in the August survey and were sampled for the January survey completed the January interview, leaving little room for this type of error to creep in. More generally, there was no appreciable difference in the political makeup of those who took the two surveys.

Sizable shifts in public opinion like this are fairly rare, especially when the subject is well known and opinions have tended to be stable over time. Consequently, observers should be cautious when a survey shows a big change, such as the drop in Trump approval after the events of Jan. 6. However, the availability of data on the same respondents at two points in time allows us to distinguish between real change in opinion and something more illusory, such as differences in the samples of two polls."

 

NSA official installed as Trump left office resigns after he was sidelined

excerpt:

Michael Ellis, a former Republican political operative, resigned Friday as the National Security Agency’s top lawyer, having been sidelined for three months after President Biden took office.

The NSA director, Gen. Paul Nakasone, had placed Ellis on administrative leave the day President Donald Trump left the White House — just as Ellis was taking up the position. The reasons: a pending Pentagon inspector general probe, an official told The Washington Post at the time, and a security inquiry into Ellis’s handling of classified information, according to a letter from Ellis’s attorney to Nakasone, a copy of which was obtained by The Post."

excerpt:

"Yet, the timing of deaths in 1918 truly highlights the remarkable shortcomings of the US response to COVID-19. In October 1918, this sudden escalation in deaths occurred within weeks of the first cases and deaths. Government leaders, health officials, and the public were dealing with the surge in cases and deaths even as they implemented new health measures such as restricting public meetings, closing schools, mandating masks, and encouraging better hygiene. They were overwhelmed by the unexpected epidemic and failed to contain the sudden surge in deaths.

By the time public health measures were implemented, the spread of the disease was already slowing and mortality rates were falling. When new waves of disease appeared in late 1918 and early 1919, public health officials moved quickly to renew these measures, which were, in most cases, not needed as the disease did not return to the same level of severity observed in the worst weeks of the epidemic."

excerpt:

"In 2020, by contrast, federal, state, and local officials and the entire public had months to understand the transmission of the coronavirus, evaluate health measures, and take steps to protect their communities. Predictions of high death totals were reported but often dismissed or disregarded. We have access to an extraordinary amount of data about COVID-19 for the United States and the world, as well as granular information about testing, cases, infection rates, hospitalizations, and deaths at the national, state, regional, and even local level. We have known what is happening, and likely outcomes, and yet so many people have refused to make the changes in behavior necessary to control the continued spread of this disease, particularly among the most vulnerable populations.

The fact that deaths surged at the end of 2020, nine months after the pandemic reached the United States, with the highest daily death tolls in early January 2021, is perhaps the most discouraging comparison to the historical record. We ignored the lessons of 1918, and then we disregarded warnings issued in the first months of this pandemic. We will never know how many lives could have been saved if we had taken this threat more seriously. We are paying a terrible price now for this failure of policy and practice."

 

People who were scammed by Trump are now trying to retroactively stop the steal that he did to them during his 'Stop The Steal' fundraising campaign.

They have an opportunity to fall for it all over again if Trump runs in 2024.
