The Donald Trump Score Card

Oh, that's right, we can blame Covid


So, I guess we will never know if less people would have shown up to Bidens inauguration than Trumps

 

Trump IS an expert at inventing and creating one thing ...................... and it's brown in color.

 

I've known that for months. I haven't responded to the trolling DOLT. Probably a puke from a troll farm in Russia, Iran, Hungary, or another autocratic prison of a country.

 

Trump's 'elite strike force' strikes out again.


Wisconsin Supreme Court tosses Trump election lawsuit

excerpt:

"MADISON, Wis. -- A narrowly divided Wisconsin Supreme Court on Monday rejected President Donald Trump’s lawsuit attempting to overturn his election loss in the battleground state about an hour before the Electoral College cast Wisconsin's 10 votes for Democrat Joe Biden.

In the 4-3 ruling, the court's three liberal justices were joined by conservative swing Justice Brian Hagedorn who said three of Trump's four claims were filed too late and the other was without merit. The ruling ends Trump's legal challenges in state court.

The president sought to have more than 221,000 ballots disqualified in Dane and Milwaukee counties, the state's two most heavily Democratic counties. Those were the only counties where Trump sought a recount, even though he lost statewide by just short of 21,000 votes, a margin of about 0.6%. Hagedorn said the Trump campaign was “not entitled to the relief it seeks.”"

Surgeon General Jerome Adams says people still need to wear masks after vaccine | Daily Mail Online

excerpt:

'We still need to be careful into at least the second quarter of next year.

'They were tested with an outcome of severe disease - not preventing infection,' Adams said on Monday in reference to the 22,000 people who were given the vaccine as part of Pfizer's trial.

'Vaccines are going out they are safe and they are highly effective.

'It's balancing the really somber news that we've got still over 2,000 people dying every day from this virus.

'Help is here, hope is on the way but we still need to remember to wear our mask, wash our hands and watch our distances,' he added.

 

What happened to crybenator?
He said he was staying around until Jan 20

 

Barr resigns.


Attorney General William Barr resigns, effective Dec. 23

 

Trump forgot his forgotten people and descended into endless whining about his personal grievances.


Trump will drift into irrelevance

excerpt:

"Trump won in 2016 because he made enough voters think he could improve their fortunes better than a traditional politician. He was mean and crude, as now, but he also said he’d bring back jobs from China, rebuild decaying towns and get government out of the way. By 2020, Trump’s agenda had shrunk. He didn’t have much to say about how he’d help working and middle-class Americans in a second term. Instead, he spent the campaign trying to scare voters away from Joe Biden and venting about imagined anti-Trump conspiracies.

Trump is even more aggrieved now that he lost, with every effort to overturn Biden’s victory repudiated by courts and vote-counters. His mantra now, and possibly forever, is the bogus claim that a mysterious cabal somehow cheated him out of reelection. Trump disguised his self-interest in 2016, when he ran for president at least in part to publicize himself. His self-interest is now overt. He no longer talks about the “forgotten men and women” he supposedly ran to help in 2016. Trump is all about Trump and the Trump grievances, all the time. This will get tiring, even to loyalists, and Trump doesn’t seem to have anything else to talk about."

 

It became tiring to loyalist Barr who resigned.

 

Trump's sabotage of the ACA further crippled the rural healthcare system which had already been declining.

Trump and his own officials couldn't explain his promised healthcare plan five years after he started making promised about it.

Those in rural America may have garnered an ideological high to hear Trump spout insults, but his behavior hurt them in a pragmatic sense.



Rural America Has Been Forgotten During the Coronavirus Crisis - Center for American Progress

excerpt:

"Rural areas have suffered from the spate of hospital closures that have occurred over the past 15 years. More than 170 rural hospitals have closed since 2005. These hospitals struggle with financial viability due to a number of factors, including uncompensated care. States that have expanded Medicaid as part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have helped hospitals remain financially viable. States that have not expanded Medicaid, which tend to be in the South and more rural, are putting their residents’ health at risk by diminishing their opportunities to receive health care. Data from the 2010 census shows that more rural people live in states that did not expand Medicaid than in states that did, at 31 percent and 23 percent, respectively.

The spread of the coronavirus in rural communities could be even more dire going forward, especially given the Trump administration’s lawsuit to repeal the ACA. The nearly 1 million rural residents who have survived COVID-19 now have a new preexisting condition that insurance companies could decline or charge higher premiums to cover. Additionally, repealing the ACA would harm the viability of rural hospitals that are already struggling for many reasons. Primary among these is the fact that rural America is older, sicker, and poorer than more urban areas, all of which correlate with a higher volume of and more expensive health services. Prior to the ACA, many hospitals would treat uninsured patients and write the costs of that care off as charity care, but in states that have expanded Medicaid, these patients now have much of their care paid for by the federal government, representing a significant revenue boost to these facilities."

 

One more option for defiant Trump loyalists would be to start engraving tombstones with a message that reads they are proud of their loved ones who died of the coronavirus in the name of adhering to Trump and flouting safety guidelines.

Herman Cain was fairly close to this situation. He was still pledging his allegiance to Trump in the hospital before he eventually died of the coronavirus.

 

McConnell found a way during the Obama administration to prevent it from evening out.

The situation depends on whether Republicans maintain control of the Senate which depends on the outcome of the two runoff elections in Georgia on January 5.


‘They’ll freeze them out’: Democrats fear Senate Republicans will block Biden’s judges

‘They’ll freeze them out’: Democrats fear Senate Republicans will block Biden’s judges

excerpt:

"It's not just the Senate majority on the line in Georgia’s runoffs. It's also Joe Biden's chance to reshape the courts.

Should Senate Republicans win the fight to keep their majority, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will have unilateral authority to stifle Biden’s picks to the federal judiciary, weakening Democrats’ hopes to make up for four years of confirming conservative judges and two years of a McConnell blockade during President Barack Obama’s final years.

While an increasing number of Republicans say they’re willing to work with Biden on his Cabinet nominees, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin isn’t optimistic about GOP cooperation on judicial nominees. In an interview, Durbin, who is vying for the top spot on the Judiciary Committee, predicted Biden will have “very little” impact on the federal judiciary if Republicans keep the Senate in January and remained skeptical they’d approve his appointments to the federal bench.

“If the last two years of the Obama administration were any indication, they’ll freeze them out,” Durbin said. “Hope springs eternal but I believe in history.”"

 

Trump files another lawsuit in New Mexico.


Trump Campaign Files Lawsuit to Stop Joe Biden from Getting Electoral Votes in New Mexico: ‘2020 Was Not a Good Year’

 

Wow....
What the hell are these folks smoking???

 

You’ve yet to answer any of my questions so why should I answer yours?

 

Trump liked to play with the coronavirus death rate numbers to suit whatever ploy he wanted to use..

Trump didn't like to use absolute death numbers when comparing the U.S. to other countries because it showed the U.S. accounted for about 25% of the worldwide deaths. He preferred per capita death rate to try to make the U.S. look better than some other countries that had a higher per capita rate.

Yet domestically he liked to use absolute numbers instead of the smaller per capita numbers of populated U.S. urban areas to blame the blue states for the deaths, particularly earlier in 2020 when the virus hadn't yet impacted red states and when the blue states accounted for a large fraction of the deaths.

Later in the year, he ignored the absolute death toll and very high per capital death rate that were occurring in the pro-Trump rural regions. By autumn, the death toll in the rural regions was approaching that of the urban regions. Even then, he still selectively blamed the blue states instead of the red states for half the death toll.

He used a deadly pandemic to pit one part of the country against another for his own gain while ignoring the human tragedy. It's part of why he lost the election, which he has been blaming on urban areas like he did the coronavirus deaths.

 

Trump wants to prove to his followers that he’s still fighting the good fight, while they continue to donate funds to his stop the steal campaign.

He’s going to milk those fools for every penny they've got

 

Crack ..lol...

 

Trump is spending the last days of his presidency on a literal killing spree | Austin Sarat

excerpt:

"Trump and Barr have turned the solemn process of punishment into an assembly line of death. In doing so they have shown themselves to be indifferent to history, inattentive to the troubling problems plaguing the federal death penalty, and out of step with the country they lead.

They are behaving like vigilantes or characters in Clint Eastwood’s movie Dirty Harry, killing not because the executions will make the US a safer, saner, or more just society – but simply because they can.

The Death Penalty Information Center reports that the last time an outgoing administration did anything remotely similar was more than a century ago, in 1889. Grover Cleveland, the first Democrat elected president after the civil war and the only one to serve two non-consecutive terms in office, ordered his administration to carry out three executions in the period between his electoral defeat and the inauguration of his successor in March 1889."
