The Donald Trump Score Card

Man surrenders after claiming to have bomb near Capitol

excerpt:

"Videos posted to his Facebook before the page was taken down appears to show Roseberry at the Nov. 14 rally attended by thousands of Trump supporters to protest what they claimed was a stolen election. One video appears to be filmed by Roseberry as he’s marching with a crowd of hundreds of people carrying American flags and Trump flags and shouting “stop the steal.”

Roseberry’s ex-wife, Crystal Roseberry, said she had seen images of the man in the standoff at the Capitol and confirmed to The Associated Press that it was her ex-husband. She said had never known him to have explosives, but that he was an avid collector of firearms."

They can hold you for up to 48 hours, without even telling anyone where you are. Congress gave the president the power to torture and kill anyone on the planet or in orbit, without having to bother telling them. You do not want to know what these idiots are capable of. I grew up around them, a military brat, and you really don't wanna know what all that money can do.

 

Capitol bomb suspect surrenders after hours-long standoff with police - follow live

excerpt:

"Mr Roseberry is a 49-year-old man from Grover, North Carolina, according to authorities.

On a video live-streamed to Facebook which has since been taken down, Mr Roseberry made a long, rambling speech, in which he said he was looking to start a revolution against Joe Biden and the Democrats.

He spoke of his family back in North Carolina, his hatred for President Biden, who he called out by name dozens of times, and claimed to be upset at the decision to pull US troops out of Afghanistan.

“The first thing I want is airstrikes in Afghanistan. Kick that Taliban’s ass and keep them from killing people,” he said.

His wife told NBC News that her husband had left North Carolina on Wednesday night and told her he was going on a fishing trip.

“She says her husband has been upset of the result of the Presidential election and voted for the first time in his life for President Trump,” NBC News reported."

 

I doubt he's also upset with Trump for signing the agreement to pull the troops out.

excerpt:

"Trump’s former national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, has been arguably the most brutal about the Taliban deal. Having in the past compared it to the infamous Munich agreement of 1938 which paved the way for Adolf Hitler’s rise, McMaster even more explicitly tied the events of the past week to it.

“Our secretary of state [Mike Pompeo] signed a surrender agreement with the Taliban,” McMaster told Bari Weiss. “This collapse goes back to the capitulation agreement of 2020. The Taliban didn’t defeat us. We defeated ourselves.”

McMaster’s successor as national security adviser, John Bolton, has offered similar comments, suggesting Trump would have made the same mistakes as Biden and that the two of them were “like Tweedledee and Tweedledum.”"

 

That would probably be classified as "fake news" made up by the "loony left"

 

ICU Doc Shows What 'Anxious and Scared' Gov. Greg Abbott Did After COVID-19 News

excerpt:

"ICU doctor and NBC News analyst Vin Gupta is urging Texans to “take note” of the actions of Gov. Greg Abbott (R) after he tested positive for the coronavirus on Tuesday.

Abbott has actively thwarted efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic by banning mask and vaccine mandates.

Yet once he was infected, he was given Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment, despite being fully vaccinated and having no symptoms.

Gupta, a pulmonologist, tweeted:

Quickly getting access to monoclonal antibody therapy when you’re the fully vaccinated, asymptomatic Governor of Texas shows just how anxious and scared @GregAbbott_TX actually is of a virus that he constantly downplays."

 

ICU Doc Shows What 'Anxious and Scared' Gov. Greg Abbott Did After COVID-19 News

excerpt:

"COVID-19 cases have skyrocketed in Texas in recent weeks, from around 1,000 daily cases reported in early July to over 20,000 cases reported on Monday.

Despite those rising numbers, just 45% of the state is fully vaccinated, well below the U.S. average of 51%."

 

It's the outcome of Abbott proudly and fully opening the state of Texas last spring when he mistakenly thought it was the end of the virus that he is now so afraid of for himself (but not others) that he had the monoclonal antibody Remdesivir given to him shortly after he tested positive in August.

 

This is a vital statement...

He also said that the South shall rise again, or something to that effect.

 

Its not even greed, the money takes on a life of its own, because the lights are only left on when nobody's home. Money only has value, because somebody holding guns tells you what its worth, and people holding guns only tell you what its worth, according to the stock market.

 

Suspect who claimed to have a bomb near US Capitol has surrendered - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Christopher Roseberry said his father expressed political frustrations with him after the November election. "Since Biden got elected he's just been like, man ... he doesn't like change, I reckon. ... I tried to tell him ... 'Who cares what goes on up there in DC? Worry about what you've got down here.' I tried to tell him that and he's like, 'No, I'm sticking up for my country. We need to get the country back to the way it was,'" he said."

 

That passage was apparently a misunderstanding or a typo by journalists. Later reports say that Roseberry loved the president (former president Trump), and disliked Biden.

 

A Changing Country

excerpt:

"The multiracial category, added to the census only 20 years ago, is the fastest-growing group in the U.S. That could account for some of the decline of the white population, social scientists say; people of more than one race who previously chose white on the census form can now answer more accurately.

Fast-growing cities

The fastest-growing big city in the country is Phoenix, which surpassed Philadelphia as the fifth largest. Immigration, a tech boom and middle-class Californians seeking affordable housing all contributed to Phoenix’s growth, The Times’s Jack Healy explains.

The change in Phoenix reflects a trend: All 10 of the largest U.S. cities saw their populations rise in the past decade. Three big cities in Texas — Houston, San Antonio and Dallas — outpaced the national average.

New York City also grew by nearly 8 percent, defying predictions that its population was on the decline. The city now accounts for nearly 44 percent of the state’s total population.

The metro area that grew fastest since the last census, though, was not a major city; it was The Villages, America’s largest retirement community, located outside Orlando, Fla."

"Political Consequences

The new census data will launch an intense scramble to redraw districts for the House of Representatives, which states do once per decade. Legislatures control redistricting in most states and can draw gerrymandered congressional maps that advantage their party, which will help determine who will win control of the House in next year’s midterm elections.

The data was less favorable to Republicans than some experts expected, The Times’s Nate Cohn writes. Rural areas and white people’s share of the population shrank, while traditionally Democratic cities and increasingly Democratic suburbs grew.

But Republican-controlled legislatures will still get to redraw 187 maps, compared to Democrats’ 84. “The parties do not compete on a level playing field,” our colleague Nick Corasaniti, who covers politics, told us. “While it is still very early to fully grasp the impact” of the new data, “it is perhaps most important to remember who will be drawing the maps.”"
