Trump doesn't seem to have made comments about the prosecutor in GA requesting a grand jury or his big loss in the Supreme Court regarding executive privilege. He was infuriated by the select committee requesting Ivanka to meet, even though it wasn't a subpoena.
https://www.thebharatexpressnews.co...will-blow-the-roof-off-the-house-says-raskin/ excerpt: “But you know, this guy is a walking crime wave and he’s been committing crimes all over the country, including sexual harassment and assault on many people. There’s bank fraud and there’s real estate fraud and there’s tax evasion,” Raskin said. “And there are prosecutors all over the country looking into all of this. I don’t want us to fetishize Donald Trump so much – he will meet, you know, his creator, somewhere or another, there will be accountability and a reckoning with the law.
Mary Trump says her uncle will 'stop protecting' Ivanka if he feels it's necessary excerpt: "The whole 'she should be protected because she's his child' is absurd," Mary Trump said, adding her uncle knows his 40-year-old daughter might have information that could be useful to the committee. MSNBC host Alex Witt asked Mary Trump, "You don't think there's any chance that he [Donald Trump] would step forward and say 'OK, I'm going to take the heat in an effort to shield my kids'? That would never happen?" "No," Mary Trump responded. "Donald will throw anybody under the bus if he believes it's in his best interest to do so. If he believes that it will help him avoid accountability. That's all he cares about." "She has information that the American people deserve. She worked for the American people, not for her father," Mary Trump continued. "She owes the committee truthfulness about what happened that day." Mary Trump also noted that Ivanka Trump is also thinking in her best interest and making a "calculation" similar to her father's that "will help her in the long run." "She knows she has to come down on the right side of things or she'll continue to stay her father's ally, and have to see how that plays out," she said.
Trump is still showing examples of why it's not a great idea for a president to have his children as official administration members in the White House. Trump feels that Ivanka has a special status that should shield her from inquiry. It also creates a false sense that a child is supposed to be working personally for the father rather than the American public. Various conflict of interest issues arise as well. Trump's White House counselor Kellyanne Conway used the White House briefing room on live national TV to tell everyone to go out and buy Ivanka's merchandise after she became frustrated that Nordstrom dropped her clothing line. Trump also made public statements critical of Nordstrom. 'Go buy Ivanka's stuff': Conway called out by GOP official for free Ivanka 'commercial'
Acclaimed journalist Carl Bernstein says US democracy 'ceased to be working well' before Trump was elected excerpt: "The idea that the Trump base is some narrow group of white men with guns? Bullshit. This is a huge movement including misogynistic women, including racists of every kind, but also including all kinds of educated people in cities and suburbs," he expressed to The Guardian. He continued: "It's also a movement against liberalism, against what the Democratic party in their view has come to represent. It's about race, all kinds of forces, people's idea of what the United States ought to be. This movement embraces autocracy, authoritarianism, a peculiarly American neo-fascism which Trump represents." In the 2016 presidential election, Trump defeated Clinton in the Electoral College, but Clinton edged him out in the popular vote, securing nearly 2.9 million more votes than the Republican. Four years later, now-President Joe Biden won both the Electoral College and the popular vote in what was a high-turnout, high-stakes election. While Biden received over 81 million votes, Trump earned more than 74 million votes.
It's difficult to imagine a unifying event in today's atmosphere. Another 9/11 terror attack could cause the same type of culture wars that COVID has caused. The 9/11 attack initially had a unifying effect for about a year that was later destroyed by military adventurism in the Mideast.
Last week, over 3,000 COVID deaths were recorded in the U.S. on Thursday and Friday, the equivalent to two 9/11 attacks in two days. The death toll is nearing 900,000. It seems to go unnoticed now by most people.
Start the Steal: New MAGA Emails Reveal Plot to Hand Arizona to Trump excerpt: "The emails show how a group of fringe election sleuths pressed state legislators on a plan to disrupt the 2020 election certification and potentially change the vote count in a battleground state that helped deliver Joe Biden the presidency. The emails also reveal that several Trump advisers, including campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis and legal adviser Bernie Kerik, were included in the discussion. But while the Trump campaign knew about this plotting, it was the obscure investigators and researchers, the emails show, who made the case directly to Arizona legislators about how to find supposed fraud and potentially use that evidence to challenge the outcome. Those outside investigators remain active in the growing movement to find fraud in the 2020 election. What’s more, one former state lawmaker included on the emails, Mark Finchem, is now running for secretary of state in Arizona. If Finchem wins, he would oversee Arizona’s elections. No evidence has emerged to show widespread fraud in the 2020 election. A court-ordered audit of Arizona’s ballots confirmed Biden’s win. Multiple judges dismissed lawsuits filed by Republican groups and Trump supporters alleging fraud in Arizona. Bill Gates, the Republican chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, was one of several election officials in Arizona who debunked many outlandish accusations of fraud and wrongdoing made by Trump and his allies. For this, Gates was called a traitor, he and his family faced harassment, and he feared for his physical safety. Gates, who reviewed the emails, says they show pro-Trump activists and lawmakers “trying to figure out that hail-mary pass” to overturn the election. “They’re drawing up the hail-mary pass that obviously culminated in January 6,” he adds. “This is part and parcel of it.” Gates says the records also illustrate how people outside of Arizona drove the election-fraud frenzy, supplying state legislators with strategies, talking points, and reams of technical jargon. “This was not an organic effort,” he says. “This is obviously people from outside, along with Trump and his lieutenants, pushing this.”"
Start the Steal: New MAGA Emails Reveal Plot to Hand Arizona to Trump excerpt: "The Arizona Senate would go on to order a hand-counted audit of more than 2 million ballots cast in Maricopa County in 2020. That supposed audit violated multiple best practices and procedures for handling ballots, cost millions of dollars, and reaffirmed Biden’s victory. Still, election-law experts say no matter the audit’s outcome, it also served to further undermine trust in the last election and supply a pretext for legal and legislative changes in the future. Bill Gates, the Maricopa Board of Supervisors chairman, says he believes the sham audit demanded by Arizona Republicans was in part fueled by the discredited claims of people like Waldron. “These are the people the Arizona state senate relied on in pursuing this effort, which has now been thoroughly discredited, wasted millions of dollars, wasted time, and accomplished nothing other than sowing doubt about our electoral system,” he says. “These people were the ones pushing it. They were the ones some of our Republican state senators listened to.”"
Top Jan. 6 Investigator Fired From Post at the University of Virginia excerpt: "The top staff investigator on the House committee scrutinizing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has been fired by the state’s new Republican attorney general from his position as the top lawyer for the University of Virginia, from which he was on leave while working on the congressional inquiry. The office of the attorney general, Jason S. Miyares, said the firing of the investigator, Timothy J. Heaphy, was not related to the Jan. 6 investigation, but the move prompted an outcry from Democrats in the state, who accused him of taking the highly unusual action as a partisan move to further former President Donald J. Trump’s attempts to undermine the committee’s work. “This is purely payback for Jan. 6 — there is no other reason that makes any sense,” said Scott Surovell, a top Democrat in the Virginia State Senate, who said that he knew of no other similar example in recent history where a new attorney general had immediately removed a school’s top lawyer. “In our state, we normally leave those decisions to the school’s board of visitors and president.”"
Trump thinks Biden's son is fair game for investigation but not his own daughter whom he gave a formal position in the White House. Trump thinks it so much that his first impeachment stemmed from his obsession with Hunter Biden and Ukraine. Donald Trump's niece said it's hypocritical for him to complain about the Jan. 6 commission investigating his kids after his attacks on Hunter Biden excerpt: "She added that despite Trump's defense of his children, she believes he "will throw anybody under the bus if he believes it's in his best interest to do so." Trump has repeatedly gone after President Joe Biden's son Hunter and his business dealings. Trump's first impeachment was sparked by a phone call in which he pressed the Ukraine president to investigate Biden and his son over claims of corruption. In a presidential debate in September 2020, Trump pressed Biden repeatedly on claims involving Hunter, resulting in chaotic discourse as Biden repeatedly denied the allegations and moderator Chris Wallace tried to stop Trump from talking over him. Trump and his allies also promoted theories about Hunter based on a laptop that contained lurid details and explicit images of his private life."
Apparently the same Nordic star beings who helped German scientists develop the time machine (the Nazi Bell) also helped to transport them to Mars to escape the Nuremberg trials
It's been said that Trump is his own worst enemy. He proved it again with Hunter Biden and Ukraine and his 2020 election loss, obsessions that precipitated two impeachments and possible prosecution. Nixon harbored a similar trait with his paranoia about perceived enemies and a preoccupation with trying to dispose of them.
Trump followers zero in on secretary of state campaigns - POLITICO excerpt: "Drafting off Trump’s endorsement, Finchem brought in more than $660,000 for his campaign in 2021, according to new campaign finance reports. That’s more than the combined fundraising totals of the two leading Democrats, former Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes and state House Minority Leader Reginald Bolding, who respectively raised about $385,000 and $200,000 for the year."
Trump followers zero in on secretary of state campaigns - POLITICO excerpt: "Having failed to prevent certification of the 2020 election, Trump and his followers are targeting state and local offices that will be involved in running the next presidential election, boosting loyalists who cast doubt on the 2020 vote and pouring energy into races that typically see little engagement. Secretary of state duties vary from place to place but can include coordinating election policy across their states, investigating wrongdoing and certifying the final vote counts in state elections — once-invisible responsibilities that have gained prominence since the attempts to subvert the 2020 election."
