The Donald Trump Score Card

The meager job approval rating of Trump hinges heavily on the economy and during a time that has had a lack of crises (other than the fictitious ones that Trump concocts).

It lends to the imagination what his approval rating might be during a second term that involves an economic downturn.

Various polls show that he has no other significant positive attributes related to gun control, national security, immigration, foreign policy, diplomacy, healthcare, the national debt, infrastructure, U.S. international reputation, education, the environment, and race relations that could appeal to the general public during a time of crisis.

This explains why, instead of expanding outward to embrace other segments of the electorate, he digs a deeper, steeper trench to appeal to his hardcore supporters and fringe elements.

 

Yeah. NYC is notorious for electing racist mayors.

 

Don’t care.

 

I've been listening to the impeachment trial for maybe 20 minutes and Trump's lawyer has been talking about Obama the whole time

Holy. Shit.

 

Trump's lawyer are arguing that Obama withheld aid from Ukraine. Ok, but he wasn't running for reelection.
What a bunch of dumbasses.

 

I found an Old WaPo article that refers to what his lawyer is arguing:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...re-elections/2012/03/26/gIQASoblbS_story.html

So basically this isnt even remotely similar to asking a foreign entity to investigate a political rival in exchange for aid

 

and the little red hat people will say "It's exactly the same thing"

 

He was a Muslim born in Kenya. Didn't you know?

 

Indiana is notorious for electing racist governors. They elected Pence.

 

Bolton pits Trump against Senate GOP's majority

Bolton pits Trump against Senate GOP's majority

excerpt:

"Former national security adviser John Bolton alleged in an unpublished book manuscript that Trump linked U.S. aid for Ukraine to political investigations, the same charge at the heart of the impeachment trial, The New York Times reported. That puts Republican senators who are in tight re-election fights, the GOP leaders who hope to keep their majority and assorted moderates all in the position of recalculating how much impeachment-related risk they are willing to accept and how much the president should shoulder.

"Bolton's thumb has tilted the scale," said Dan Eberhart, a major GOP fundraiser for Senate candidates who supports Trump. "Protecting the president has become an even harder decision for Republican senators."

Trump is not in appreciably greater danger of being removed from office right now, but both Democratic and Republican insiders indicated Monday that the odds have risen dramatically that at least one figure with direct knowledge of the president's orders on Ukraine will testify in the Senate. That's because Republican senators at risk of losing their seats, along with colleagues who have more latitude to speak and vote for additional testimony without alienating GOP base voters, know that they are substituting Trump's interests for their own if they preclude Bolton from testifying."

 

Trump team turns Senate trial into extended Obama-Biden attack

Trump team turns Senate trial into extended Obama-Biden attack

excerpt:

"During the presentations, Democratic senators routinely scoffed at the president's lawyers when they argued that Obama had abused his power in his relationship with Russia and engaged in a quid pro quo with then-President Dmitriy Medvedev — identical accusations to the House's impeachment charges against Trump.

Bondi and Herschmann also expounded at length on allegations against Biden and his son Hunter that they said merited a corruption probe, one Democrats have called baseless. The claims against Biden are at the heart of Trump's effort to press Ukraine to investigate his political rivals. Democrats say Trump knew the charge to be baseless and simply wanted Ukraine to announce the probes as a way to damage Biden, a 2020 rival.

But the claims against Biden have become a fixture of Trump's political attacks on his potential Democratic opponent, and the Trump legal team's presentation was the most concerted case yet by the White House to push those charges into public view and hand Trump's Senate allies new ammunition to defend him in the trial.

Though the bulk of the presentations were geared toward exciting Trump's allies, there was at least one instance in which Herschmann attempted to appeal directly to Romney, who has already indicated he wants testimony from Bolton, who said he’d be willing to testify if subpoenaed. Herschmann played a clip of Obama debating Romney — then the GOP nominee for president — in 2012. In the clip, Obama mocked Romney for saying Russia was America's top geopolitical foe. Herschmann made eye contact with Romney, whose seat is in the back corner of the chamber, several times while he repeatedly invoked his name. Romney visibly smirked while his colleagues turned to face him."

Mitt makes his move
The occasional Trump critic is in the middle of an internal GOP fight over the impeachment trial.

Mitt makes his move

excerpt:

"Romney sent shock waves through the Capitol when he said on Monday morning that it’s “increasingly likely” that more Republicans would embrace his call for witnesses.

Among the senators most likely to join Romney, Collins and Murkowski are Toomey, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Rob Portman of Ohio or Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, according to GOP sources. But none have taken the public plunge.

Barrasso said the witness vote — set for Friday — "is still going to be close. They need four. And I haven't seen anybody shift."

Romney said later Monday evening that he didn’t base his earlier statement on any inside intel. He just thinks that if Bolton is willing to talk, logically, Republicans should be willing to listen."

 

A Very Stable Genius: a chronological account of the past three years in Washington, based on interviews with more than 200 sources.


An example of large news: They report that in the spring of 2017, Trump implored Rex Tillerson, then secretary of state, to help him jettison the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
“It’s just so unfair that American companies aren’t allowed to pay bribes to get business overseas,” Trump whines to a group of aides.


Another example: While visiting Pearl Harbor, according to John F. Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, Trump seemed to have no idea what had actually happened there.
Throughout he is misinformed and confused while at the same time utterly certain of himself.


An example of small but nonetheless piquant news: Administration lawyers came up with a nickname for Matthew Whitaker, the former acting attorney general. They called him Mongo,
after the illiterate galoot played by Alex Karras in the Mel Brooks movie “Blazing Saddles.”


More Trump insanity: (or signs of stability)


Trump considered awarding himself the Medal of Freedom.


He informed the Indian prime minister Narendra Modi, wrongly: “It’s not like you’ve got China on your border….ha, ha, ha...lol….

Photographs emerged of Colbie Holderness, one of the former White House staff secretary Rob Porter’s ex-wives, with a black eye. She said Porter gave it to her. Trump had another explanation.
Trump said, Holderness purposefully ran into a refrigerator to give herself bruises and try to get money out of Porter?”

Oh my God we have a fucking nutcase in the white house.....

 

The most important one

 

You are watching it?
