The Donald Trump Score Card

In the Pennsylvania case, the SCOTUS vote was 9-0. Legal experts say that the court is sending a message that they want nothing to do with the election.

 

Last whistleblower fired from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office days after suing for retaliation

Last whistleblower fired from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office days after suing for retaliation

excerpt:

"The Texas attorney general’s office has fired the last remaining whistleblower who alleged Ken Paxton broke the law in doing favors for a political donor — just days after aides had sued the agency alleging they suffered retaliation for making the report.

Deputy Attorney General for Legal Counsel Ryan Vassar — who had already been placed on paid leave — was fired Nov. 17, according to internal personnel documents obtained by The Texas Tribune, making him the fifth whistleblower to be fired from the agency in less than a month. The three others who reported Paxton to law enforcement have resigned.

On Nov. 12, Vassar and three of his former colleagues filed a whistleblower lawsuit against the Texas attorney general’s office, claiming they had suffered retaliation after they told law enforcement they believed Paxton broke the law by using the agency to serve the interests of a political donor and friend, Nate Paul.

Joseph Knight, Vassar’s attorney in the lawsuit, said the justification Vassar was given for his termination amounted to “made-up, nonsense reasons” — and that he believes the firing was an act of retaliation. Vassar was hired by the agency in 2015.

Neither the attorney general’s office nor Ian Prior, a political spokesman for Paxton, returned requests for comment on why Vassar was terminated, though Prior has said previous terminations were not acts of retaliation but rather related to policy violations.

The FBI is investigating Paxton over the allegations of the eight whistleblowers, who were all senior aides, the Associated Press reported earlier this month."

 

Last whistleblower fired from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office days after suing for retaliation

excerpt:

"The full scope of the relationship between Paxton and Paul remains unclear, but the two sometimes saw each other socially, and Paul gave Paxton’s campaign $25,000 in 2018. Paul also revealed in an unrelated deposition that he hired a woman at Paxton’s recommendation, though he said doing so was not a favor to the attorney general. The woman he hired had been involved in a romantic relationship with Paxton, according to two people who learned of the affair from Paxton in 2018.

The agency took the highly unusual step of intervening in a lawsuit involving Paul and a local charity, and, aides say, Paxton pushed his staff to write a legal opinion that would help Paul stave off foreclosure sales at several of his properties.

Most strikingly, though, Paxton appointed an outside attorney to vet complaints by Paul, who claimed he had been mistreated by numerous state and federal authorities when his home and office were raided by the FBI in 2019. Top aides have said that they found Paul’s complaint meritless, but Paxton seemed unsatisfied with their investigation and hired a Houston defense attorney with five years of legal experience to probe the claims."

 

Pro-Trump truthers could go a step further and say she was also a dead person who voted for Biden.


1st person to get Pfizer's COVID vaccine already beset by conspiracies

excerpt:

"In one post, a user claims that Keenan actually died in 2008 based on an obituary that clearly is referencing another person with the same name. The user goes on to suggest that the footage is yet "another psyop and crisis actor."

The conspiracies only became more bizarre and outlandish from there. In another example on Facebook, one user argued that Keenan was a member of the "illuminati" after she appeared to make a "masonic hand gesture."

Another user claimed that the footage was actually months-old given that he saw it in an article from CNN that was originally published in October. In reality, the old article merely had a video player embedded that is designed to autoplay current content."

The case brought before the court simply had no merit or standing

 

How is that good we would need over 60% of the population to get infected killing hundreds of thousands.

 

Conspiracy theories can be fun but as nothing more than a sideshow, a distraction from normal everyday life. But these people have so immersed themselves
in conspiracy theories, they can no longer tell the difference between reality and fantasy.

I'm beginning to think there might be one conspiracy theory with merit, the link between fluoride added to water and low IQ.

We know from the Nazis scientists that we captured in operation paperclip that sodium fluoride was used in German and Russian prison camps to
make the prisoners dumb, docile, and receptive to outside influence. There really may be something to it.

 

Arizona Election Challenge Tossed Out by State’s Highest Court

The Arizona Republican Party’s attempt to reverse President Donald Trump’s loss in the state was rejected by the state’s top court in another blow to the his unprecedented campaign to overturn the election results.

The Arizona Supreme Court unanimously rejected the state GOP’s request to conduct another, larger examination of duplicate ballots cast in Maricopa County, home to Phoenix, which voted heavily for President-Elect Joe Biden.

In a written ruling, Chief Justice Robert Brutinel said the GOP chairwoman Kelli Ward had failed to “present any evidence” of misconduct or illegal votes — “let alone establish any degree of fraud or a sufficient error rate that would undermine the certainty of the election results.”

 

Trump's false crusade rolls on despite devastating Supreme Court rebuke

Trump's election fraud crusade rolls on despite devastating Supreme Court rebuke - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Clearly, Trump's supporters in a party that he transformed in his own populist nationalist image after forging a stunning connection with his party's base, are acting out of their own political interests. Anyone who wants a future in the GOP can't get crossways with the President. But their conduct also suggests that much of the Republican Party, the one-time home of Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan has simply become a vessel for Trump's personal crusades. The relentless pursuit of power -- rather than principles that once made the GOP the most fertile party of ideas in Washington -- are now its organizing principle.

This trend suggests that the constitutional nihilism perfected by the President will still be a strong force in the GOP when he has left the White House -- and will complicate Biden's hopes of unifying a divided nation, which critics in his own party view as naïve.

Stuart Stevens, a former chief strategist for Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign, said the party had squandered an inherited legacy of respect for democratic values.

"I think this stuff is very hard to undo. It's that, you know, old cliche. It's hard to build something and easy to tear it down. They're burning down faith in democracy," Stevens told CNN's Don Lemon on Monday."

 

Rampant cronyism.


Trump taps Conway, Chao to government posts in waning days of administration

excerpt:

"President Trump on Tuesday tapped former aide Kellyanne Conway and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao to government jobs in the final days of his administration.

The White House said in a press release that Conway will be appointed to the board of visitors of the U.S. Air Force Academy, and Chao, who is also married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), will be a member of the board of trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Lynn Friess, the spouse of major Republican donor Foster Friess, will also be a member of the board of trustees at the Kennedy Center, and Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union, is being appointed to the Library of Congress trust fund board.

The appointments were announced in a press release that included 26 appointments to government postings at places such as the National Cancer Advisory Board and Puerto Rico’s Financial Oversight and Management Board, among others.

The Tuesday announcement marked the second time in as many weeks that the White House announced government jobs for allies. The White House also released a number of other appointments last week that included the appointment of Pamella DeVos, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’s sister-in-law, to the Kennedy Center board of trustees."

 

Inauguration committee Republicans sink Democrats' resolution acknowledging Biden victory

excerpt:

"Republican leaders on Tuesday shot down a Democratic resolution formally recognizing Joe Biden's presidential victory, highlighting the dilemma facing GOP lawmakers leery of breaking with President Trump, who refuses to acknowledge defeat.

The vote occurred behind closed doors in the Capitol, among members of a bipartisan committee charged with planning the presidential inauguration ceremony on the Capitol grounds. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (Md.), a member of the panel, had proposed a motion empowering the committee to "notify the American people" of plans "for the inauguration of Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris," the Democrat said as he was leaving the meeting."

 

If Filipkowski isn't careful, his house could be raided next.

Florida Republican attorney resigns in protest of Rebekah Jones raid

excerpt:

“I believe the policy of this state towards covid is reckless and irresponsible,” he added.

Despite these concerns, Filipkowski said he stayed on the commission because “health policy was unrelated to my job.”

But after state law enforcement officers raided the home of former Department of Health employee Rebekah Jones, Filipkowski said the issue is “now a legal one rather than just medical,” and he decided that “I no longer wish to serve the current government of Florida in any capacity.”

 

Florida Guv’s Backyard MAGA Fest Could Be Next ‘Superspreader’ Event

excerpt:

"On Saturday, Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Republican leaders turned the backyard of the governor’s mansion into a GOP gloatfest with a pandemic twist.

Some of the top players in the party that has overseen coronavirus chaos in the Sunshine State tweeted photos and a video of DeSantis addressing a crowd of roughly 50 GOP grassroots organizers. Almost no one appeared to be wearing masks—including DeSantis, who had appeared with a mask at Donald Trump’s strange vaccine summit in D.C. on Tuesday.

One of the images, tweeted by Florida Republican Party Vice-Chairman Christian Ziegler, shows a maskless DeSantis from behind, facing his guests, a majority of whom were elderly—a population at especially high risk of death by way of COVID-19. Ziegler boasted: “Florida is in great hands and everyone in this photo is going to work like hell to crush whomever runs against him in order to keep it going.”

The GOP official retweeted the same photo the following day. This time, he identified another reliable target of Republicans and DeSantis: “It’s gonna be fun working for him and crushing the Socialists in Florida.”"

 

DeSantis is still pushing Trump's election conspiracies.

excerpt:

“In Florida, people can have the confidence that this [election] was done above board and done right,” DeSantis crowed. “We don't wait three weeks to then change the winner with vote dumps and all this other stuff that you are seeing go around.”

 

Chris Hayes Fears What’s To Come From The GOP After Donald Trump

Chris Hayes Fears What’s To Come From The GOP After Donald Trump

excerpt:

"Chris Hayes on Tuesday warned what people should expect from the GOP after President Donald Trump leaves office.

And it’s pretty much more of the same because “we are seeing just how deep the rot is inside the Republican Party,” said the host of MSNBC’s “All In.”

As Trump “starts to fade from the scene” and his “rhetoric grows more and more desperate and irrelevant, the problem he represents is only coming into clearer focus,” said Hayes.

Trump was “always a product of the GOP base, a person who channeled their most feral instincts in order to gain power,” he explained.

“The modern GOP isn’t just detached from reality. Much of it is willfully opposed to popular sovereignty and democracy,” he continued. “And many of its leaders are continuing to pursue dangerous delusions that are right now, day after day, hour after hour, indeed minute after minute, getting people killed.”"

 

Trump did the same to the general public, conjuring up its most vile and repulsive instincts that hadn't been seen since the fascist era.
