In the new book Peril, by Bob Woodward, and Bob Costas, Here is an interesting passage: Trump cared little for truth, what voters decided in November or bedrock constitutional values -- but agonized about his reputation and mused that accepting defeat would brand him as one of history's losers. Donny, you were a loser before you became president.
I've been saying that for the last 4 years with T**** bashing NATO and our allies .............. but PRAISING our enemy-states' leaders Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jung Un for their "strong leadership styles." T****'s brainwashing of much of our population here has led to such DIVISION among our own citizens, our own military, and our political "leaders"(?????????) - that if a serious war broke out ........ we'd be easy pickins' IMO. A fascist dictatorship HERE was narrowly avoided after many, MANY ........ and continued ......... attempts to overthrow a fair election. But that threat alone IS NOT OVER here in the U.S. Witness the REPUBLICAN - CONTROLLED states that have rapidly enacted restrictive voter-suppression laws to ensure their states remain under REPUBLICAN CONTROL and in future elections - those states will GUARANTEE REPUBLICAN electoral college "electors." And it's ALL BECAUSE OF T**** and his selfish, ego-driven hunger for fame & power. T**** is for T**** ................. and NO ONE ELSE. A text-book NARCISSIST.
Secrecy .......... "dark money" with NO ACCOUNTABILITY ........... privileged conversations ............ deals done behind closed doors ........... partisan "audits" with NO BASIS of FACT ........... pardons granted preemptively to convicted government felons / co-conspirators ............. Transparency??????? Sound like a free, open, FAIR, democracy-type government to anyone??????? Or does it sound more like the SS and the Gestapo ????????
Trump and his lawyers have been trying to argue that tech companies are 'state actors' and that therefore they are subject to conforming to standards of the government. When it's entities Trump doesn't like, he tries to make them conform to government standards. When it's in his self-interest, he circumvents such standards, such as using Giulani as an unregistered government agent to conduct foreign affairs to dig up dirt on Biden while citing attorney-client privilege to squash transparency.. Top Trump lawyer predicts Big Tech case will go to the Supreme Court excerpt: "John Coale, in an interview with Fox News, said multiple factors make the platforms “state actors,” subjecting them to standards usually applied to governments."
Difficult to top the absurdity of that accident, with the possible exception of a vehicle carrying a giant sign saying 'Trump Safety'. Vehicle carrying massive pro-Trump display crashes into telephone pole in three-car pileup
The only thing Trump managed to unify is every bat-shit crazy conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer, and extreme right-wing neophyte with visions of a QAnon controlled all-white America
Yeah. the same Arizona Republican Representative Mark Finchem who worked with far-right activist Ali Alexander to coordinate Stop the Steal rallies in Arizona and in DC on January 6th
Trump is suing social media companies from another angle. Trump lawyers argue Twitter service agreement does not apply to him excerpt: "Lawyers for former President Trump argued in a court filing submitted Wednesday that Twitter's service agreement does not apply to him as part of an attempt to get the former president back on the platform. The filing, which was submitted on behalf of Trump and several others against Twitter and its CEO, argues that the terms of service agreement did not apply to Trump “as the 45th President of the United States.” The lawsuit claims that Trump “repeatedly used his account to report to the Citizens of the United States on virtually every aspect of Presidential activity” and was used as “a key channel for official communication.” The filing demonstrated that Twitter made clear in its terms of service agreement that it did not apply to government entities if they are unable to control law, jurisdiction or venue clauses. “One thing is undeniably clear in this case: Plaintiff’s account was a government account, and not a private one when he was censored,” Trump’s lawyers said in the filing."
Trump lawyers argue Twitter service agreement does not apply to him excerpt: "John Coale, the lead counsel for Trump and the additional plaintiffs, told The Hill that because Trump was banned while he was president and not a private citizen, the terms of agreement do not apply to him."
I.e. Trump trying to act stoic as he slowly loses his mind over his banned twitter account......lol...
Donald Duck has managed to unify half the country that now wants him dead. Half of conservatives are the batshit crazies like the Tea Party and televangelists, but the other half tend to urge them on from the sidelines. Moderate conservatives thought he did a good job in office, but took it too far, and are preparing to support democrats in drawing and quartering their first commander-in-chief, for presenting a clear and present danger to the nation.
McConnell says Trump is fading. Those two used to be seen hugging each other at public events. https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article254432803.html
McConnell only has sympathy for the devil, and would gladly rub salt in anyone's wounds, but only if he sees the vultures coming for them. He loves a good show...
Psychology majors will be writing thesis about him for the next fifty years: What a fucking anomaly in America's history books, huh?
was trump acting as president, or as a private citizen, when calling people derogatory names? Asking for a friend.
McEnany forgot that Trump was president in 2020. Kayleigh McEnany’s attempt to hit Biden on crime backfires spectacularly excerpt: "Trump White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany inadvertently slammed her own former administration as she tweeted about the rise in murders last year, claiming that it was President Joe Biden’s fault – despite Donald Trump being in charge at the time. “The US murder rate under Joe Biden...” Ms McEnany wrote in the now-deleted tweet along with a graph from The New York Times showing the spike in murders during 2020. Mr Biden became president on 20 January, 2021. Last year, the US saw the biggest spike in murders since records began 60 years previously, data collected by the FBI has shown."
