The Donald Trump Score Card

Glad you mentioned Lev. Our new AG will go over that case with a fine tooth comb. There will be no more protection for Trump provided by William Barr.

 

Read Rachel Maddow's latest book. It is titled Bag Man and tells about Spiro Agnew who was Nixon's VP, and a true pure crook. There are lots of similarities between him and Trump, even the badmouthing of the press.

 

Trump loses in court again.


Trump loses Wisconsin lawsuit in latest legal defeat

excerpt:

"MADISON, Wis. (AP) — President Donald Trump lost a Wisconsin lawsuit Friday seeking to disqualify more than 221,000 ballots and overturn his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in the battleground state, the latest in a string of legal defeats.

Reserve Judge Stephen Simanek ruled against every argument Trump made challenging ballots in the state’s two largest counties, saying the election was properly administered and that there was no wrongdoing as the president alleged.

“The bottom line here is that the court should do everything to ensure that the will of the voters prevail,” the judge said.

Trump quickly appealed the ruling and his attorney Jim Troupis said he would ask the conservative-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court to take the case from the lower appeals court. Trump also has a federal lawsuit in Wisconsin where the judge could rule as soon as Friday.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court court previously refused to hear Trump’s state case before it went through the lower courts. A majority of justices have also openly questioned whether disqualifying the ballots, as Trump wants, would be appropriate."

 

Maybe I misspoke, but I was alluding to the fact that he was at the swearing in ceremony of Amy Cony Barrett at the wh. Was he there to support her? Either way I think the optics were not good. For better or worse, perception is usually reality.

 

Trump continues to punish himself with his slapstick lawsuits that he mistakenly thinks will work.

For him it's been one bruising mishap after another.

The Supreme Court has rejected The Texas/Trump case for overturning the election results in Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. This news came about 8 minutes ago. I heard one guy on radio say this proves Trump & Paxton & Cruz are stupid fucking morons.

 

Great news. I guess Paxton thought the SCOTUS is as dumb as he is. Time to indict him for being ignorant. Doesn't say a whole lot about the people who elected him.

I guess Rafael(Ted) Cruz won't get his day before the court.

The SCOTUS also pointed out how stupid those 120 republicans, who jumped on the bandwagon, are.

I like beer!!

 

True--they are just afraid the cult followers will turn them out of office.

 

Good ole' Gym Jordan, the fucking moron, signed...

Lock him up!

 

because they can't get elected on their merits, or lack thereof.

 

What will the Cybernutor and his fellow Q-Anonsters say now? Wait for it: "The Deep State got to SCOTUS with mind-controlling drugs and hypnosis".

Trump and Paxton lose in Supreme Court.


Supreme Court declines to hear Trump-supported Texas case over election results in four other states

excerpt:

"Elaborating on that point, Cato Institute senior fellow Walter Olson noted a principle called "laches," Olson said the principle bars suits filed "at exactly the time most disruptive and prejudicial to the rights of third parties (such as, in this case, innocent voters who relied on their states' approved methods)," when the issue could have been addressed earlier without that disruption.

Olson also said that Texas is wrong on the merits of the case, noting that Texas itself has allowed changes to its presidential election to be made by the executive and judiciary.

"[T]he imagined 'rule' is universally ignored since states have in fact allowed their governors, judiciaries or both to make rulings and determinations affecting the manner in which presidential elections are held and electors thus chosen," Olson said.

Harvard Law professor Lawrence Lessig, meanwhile, accused the attorneys general of acting on politics rather than sound law in bringing the remarkable Supreme Court litigation.

"This is political posturing through litigation. Not one of those attorneys general believes they are entitled to win," he said. "As lawyers, that should stop them from signing onto such an action. But they are acting as politicians, not lawyers here – to the detriment of the rule of law.""

 

Supreme Court declines to hear Trump-supported Texas case over election results in four other states

excerpt:

"The Cato Institute's Ilya Shapiro, meanwhile, noted that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is bringing the suit without the support of his own solicitor general, Kyle Hawkins, who would normally lead litigation on behalf of the state.

"There's a reason why the Texas solicitor general's name isn't on the case," Shapiro said.

Biden won the electoral college 306-232 and received 7 million more votes than Trump."

If Republicans had sufficient control of the House as well as the Senate, they might have been able to overturn the election for Trump by contesting the electoral votes.

It's disturbing that more than half the Republicans in the House (at least 126 of 196) are willing to engage in trying to overturn the results of a fair election.

excerpt:

"But he warned that the effort from Trump and his GOP allies has, in his view, made clear that Republicans in Congress, if they held big enough majorities in both chambers, would plausibly attempt to “undo the will of the voter when they count the electoral college votes on Jan. 6.”

With Democrats controlling the House, he added, such a scenario is impossible this year, “but we are only a few democracy-conscious representatives away from that potentially occurring. That itself is extremely concerning for the longer-term health of our democracy.”"

 

These are the names of the unAmerican GOP Congressmen & women who want to KILL our democracy. Share these names. Spread their shame. Don't ever forget what they have done. Don't ever let them forget. If they are your reps, will YOU work to remove them from office?

White House Orders FDA Chief to Authorize COVID Vaccine Today or Resign

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows relayed a chilling message to the agency’s leader: Accelerate its approval or submit your resignation.

According to The Washington Post, Meadows threatened FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn’s job on Friday morning, prompting the agency to bring forward its timetable for authorizing emergency use of the Pfizer vaccine from Saturday morning to late Friday.
