The Donald Trump Score Card

Stay in those embarrassiing situations until it eventually peters out.

 

Belinda Knisley(L) and Tina Peters.

 

Rep. Jim Jordan was seen in a video saying Trump is 'ready to announce' a 2024 run, but the Ohio lawmaker's spokesperson denied it

excerpt:

"He's gonna run again," Jordan is heard telling Lauren Windsor, executive producer of the political webshow "The Undercurrent," in a video posted on Twitter.

"I know so. I talked to him yesterday. He's about ready to announce after all this craziness in Afghanistan," the Ohio Republican continued. Republicans, including Trump and Jordan, have criticized President Joe Biden over his handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal.

The conversation took place at an event hosted by Iowa's Dallas County GOP, where Jordan was the keynote speaker. Windsor wrote on Twitter on Thursday evening that Jordan revealed Trump will launch his third bid for the White House "any day now."

 

Man... These guys must really be hard up for speakers.

 

He’ll lose again….

 

They'll be even more hard up if they invite Peters.

 

Donald Duck is a superstar, while the rest couldn't even get a job in Vaudeville.

 

Another Trump rioter gives herself away and is arrested.


A Lehigh County woman’s bear spray-stained walls helped identify her as a Capitol riot suspect

excerpt:

"Or maybe it was the string of Facebook posts with selfies she took shortly after.

“I am in the front line,” she wrote, adding later: “We’re at the front door.”

Later still, she posted: “I’m out. I’m safe. Someone may have trashed a certain speaker of the house’s office. But I will never tell who.”

And if none of that sealed the deal, perhaps it was the orange stains agents found on her walls when they showed up at her Schnecksville home with a search warrant nearly three months later — remnants, her husband told them, from a can of bear or pepper spray that O’Brien took with her to Washington. It had exploded in her powder room after she returned.

O’Brien, a 49-year-old QAnon adherent, is at least the 55th Pennsylvania resident to face prosecution for participating in the Jan. 6 insurrection. Agents arrested her Aug. 18, but the charging documents in her case revealing the allegations against her were not made public until this week."

 

Jensen's alibis when agents made a surprise visit to his home.


Insurrection Defendant Jailed Again After 'Found Alone in Garage' Watching MyPillow Guy Online

excerpt:

"But when court officers paid an unannounced visit to his Iowa home 30 days after he was released, they discovered Jensen was “alone” in his garage and streaming “news from Rumble,” a right-wing news outlet, on a cell phone. When he was caught, Jensen first said the phone belonged to his daughter, but his daughter told an officer she had gotten a new phone weeks earlier. Then he claimed that his wife left the news on for him when she went to work. Finally, he admitted to a court officer that he had “spent two days watching Mike Lindell’s Cyber Symposium regarding the recount of the presidential election.”

Prosecutors argued in court on Thursday that because Jensen violated the terms of his bond, he should be sent back to jail. “Two weeks after swearing to this court, he would obey its order, he was back to [his] habits,” Assistant United States Attorney Hava Mirell said. “His violations were swift and blatant.”"

 

Bet she will... in court.

 

Which he created.

he may run again, but if the crowds don’t show up he’ll come up with an excuse to quit(bone Spurs)

 

Donald Duck and the Tea Party did a real number on a lot, A LOT, of people, and the idiots are rapidly assuming they can get away with anything, and have no choice but to commit illegal acts. These idiots will persist for decades, making them a prime target for my bots, which can easily persuade them to do the stupidest fucking bullshit.

 

Advantages for Trump to formally announce a run early.

excerpt:

"4. It will help freeze the field. Right now, potential Republican 2024 candidates are in the awkward position of having to figure out how to ally with Trump (and avoid irritating the most-vocal part of the Republican base) while positioning themselves to potentially run against him. If Trump jumps in, one effect will be to immediately spur potential candidates to decline to run. Who wants to deal with two-plus years of highly personal attacks from a guy who’s already got millions of votes in the bank?

This also helps solidify Trump’s grip on the party. The longer he goes on as a former president and not a future one, the more the conversation turns to other potential candidates. Declaring his candidacy will allow Trump to demand that other prominent figures step up to endorse him and donors to contribute, making it hard or impossible for, say, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) to do the same.

5. It allows Trump to cast potential criminal investigations as political. It’s not like Trump wouldn’t declare any criminal probe into him or his company as a political witch hunt regardless, given that this is what he has done with the Trump Organization probe underway in New York. But it does make it more politically cumbersome for Democratic officials at the state or federal level if they are looking at the actions of a declared candidate for the presidency.

6. It lets the GOP cast Biden as a lame duck. If Donald Trump declares his candidacy tomorrow, it makes it seem as though the 2024 election is already underway, a rematch of last year’s contest. Republicans have tried to blur the way in which “lame duck” is used as a descriptor, from the blockade of President Barack Obama’s 2016 Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland using the rationale (later conveniently abandoned) that the voters should weigh in before the vacant seat was filled, to the use of “lame duck” to describe Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) this year to imply that Republicans will retake the House next year.

Casting Biden as facing an imminent challenge allows the party to extend the window of the Garland tactic: How can Biden be allowed to do anything with an election around the corner? Is this ridiculous? Yes. Is it impossible to imagine being taken seriously? Well, have you been paying attention over the past few years?

7. It gives the media more reason to treat his blizzard of “statements” as something worthy of coverage. Since losing his social media platforms, Trump is very eager to reinject himself into the national conversation. If he’s an actual candidate, it becomes harder for the media to wave off his incessant fulminations as unimportant.

This brings us to perhaps the most important reason that Trump might declare soon.

8. Running for president was the only part of the presidency that Trump clearly seemed to enjoy. Don’t get me wrong, Trump liked the power and the pomp of being president. But what he really wanted to do was stand before crowds of thousands of breathlessly enthusiastic people, riffing for hours at a time on his opinions to deafening applause. When he won in 2016, he then transitioned away from campaigning to a thank-you tour of the same sorts of rallies he had been holding as a candidate. As president, he turned nearly every official White House event into a proto-campaign rally, causing legal headaches for his lawyers."

excerpt

"None of this means that Trump will actually stick with it. It does seem very possible that Trump will declare his candidacy to achieve the outcomes above for the next three years — then switch at the last minute to supporting someone else to avoid the possibility of losing the popular vote three times in a row."

 

Oklahoma's ERs are so backed up with people overdosing on ivermectin that gunshot victims are having to wait to be treated, a doctor says




Ya just can't fix stupid

excerpt:

"But through all that — as Trump Tower has dealt with imploding tenants, political backlash and a broader, pandemic-related slump in Manhattan office leasing since last year — it has been able to count on one reliable, high-paying tenant: former president Donald Trump’s own political operation.

Starting in March, one of his committees, Make America Great Again PAC, paid $37,541.67 per month to rent office space on the 15th floor of Trump Tower — a space previously rented by his campaign — according to campaign-finance filings and a person familiar with the political action committee.

This may not be the most efficient use of donors’ money: The person familiar with Trump’s PAC said that its staffers do not regularly use the office space. Also, for several months, Trump’s PAC paid the Trump Organization $3,000 per month to rent a retail kiosk in the tower’s lobby — even though the lobby was closed.

Campaign-finance experts said the payments do not appear to be illegal. This kind of PAC has very few restrictions and no expiration date, so Trump is free to spend its money at his own properties as long as he wants.

But they said Trump is continuing a practice that was a hallmark of his presidency by exploiting loose regulations — and his own supporters’ trust — to convert political donations into private revenue for himself.

“He’s running a con,” said Paul S. Ryan, a campaign-finance expert at the watchdog group Common Cause. “Talking about political expenses — but, in reality, raising money for self-enrichment.”"

 

Oklahoma's ERs are so backed up with people overdosing on ivermectin that gunshot victims are having to wait to be treated, a doctor says

excerpt:

"Despite health authorities' warnings, data from the CDC indicates that people are continuing to take ivermectin. From early July to the week of August 13, pharmacies filled more than 88,000 ivermectin prescriptions, about 24 times the weekly average in the year to March 13, 2020, the CDC said on August 26."

 

That leaves out the most important advantage, it means he gets to run his mouth nonstop about how the election was stolen from him.

 

Hmmm. I was wondering why Trump was focusing on his political career rather than his criminal charges. Now it makes sense.

 

U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth set Chansley's sentencing for Nov. 17.

The Phoenix resident has been jailed for nearly eight months since his arrest.

Chansley was one of the most high-profile people who stormed the Capitol. Images of him wearing face paint and a furry horned and feathered hat while baring his tattooed chest were widely circulated.
