    Some of Trump's rioters look like a whiter shade of Pence.

    Trump and his supporters seem to be in need of a lesson by Big Bird and Mr. Hooper on the difference between white and black.

    Trump has shown some ability to scrounge up people who are actually black to hold up the Blacks For Trump signs behind him at his rallies.

    Those type of people seem to never show up as guests at his parties at Mar-a-Lago, only in stereotypical menial roles who are told to leave temporarily when it's time to do a sleazy Trump photo-op (like Trump mingling with the bride's maids in the next room when he should have stayed with the leader of Japan who should have been at a more appropriate place for diplomacy talks, such as Camp David).

    The dictator of North Korea (whom Trump later bragged he fell in love with and whose love letters he illegally took to Mar-a-Lago as souvenirs because he loves him so much) launched a missile over Japan during Trump's party at Mar-a-Lago with the leader of Japan present. It caused a Keystone Cops incident where the secret service scrambled to take control of the situation and the nuclear duffel bag. The name of a secret service agent inadvertently was posted online in a photo that a guest at the party had taken.

    A jackass day all the way around.

    Missile crisis by candlelight: Donald Trump's use of Mar-a-Lago raises security questions

    excerpt:

    "As CNN reported and the Facebook photos later illustrated, Abe, Trump and their parties stayed at their tables as their aides passed them bits of paper, lighting them up with their mobile phones so they could be read, while the keyboard vocalist hired for the night sang on and Mar-a-Lago guests huddled around to get a better view. In one picture, Trump is talking on his mobile phone, half turned away from Abe, who seems to look skywards in supplication or disbelief.

    White House press secretary Sean Spicer insisted to reporters on Monday that no classified information was discussed. Instead, he said, the discussions seen in photographs were mostly about the logistics of press statements Abe and Trump were soon to give. The White House press secretary also said that Trump had been briefed about the launch before the dinner in a secure area."

    They look like they’re affiliated card carriers


    Deception at its best. Like nobody’s paying attention to the obvious. Those have to be joke photos or some bullshit memes. Am I right?

    Durham wants to distance himself from the furor.


    Durham Distances Himself From Furor in Right-Wing Media Over Filing
    By Charlie Savage

    Durham Distances Himself From Furor in Right-Wing Media Over Filing

    excerpt:

    "Former President Donald J. Trump has seized on the inaccurate reporting to declare that there is now “indisputable evidence” of a Clinton campaign conspiracy against him — and to suggest that there ought to be executions. Mr. Trump, Fox News hosts and others have also criticized mainstream journalists for not covering the purported revelation."

    Another Trump rioter busted.

    Numerous people who knew him turned him in.


    Athol man charged with using riot shield against police during Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection - The Boston Globe

    excerpt:

    "Gillespie was identified by video and photographs of the intense struggle between police and supporters of former president Donald J. Trump as they tried to stop, or delay, the counting of electoral votes by both the House and Senate, prosecutors alleged.

    “From at least 4:11 p.m. to at least 4:25 p.m., Gillespie was among rioters in the Lower West Terrance of the Capitol who engaged in pushing, shoving, yelling, and fighting with law enforcement officers. He struggled his way through the crowd, eventually maneuvering through the rioters to the line of police officers defending the Lower West Terrace’s exterior door,” federal prosecutors said in a statement Friday."

    Gillespie was at the west entrance of the Capitol complex known as the tunnel where the fiercest fighting took place.

    Evidence shows he maneuvered himself all the way up to the police line and battled police.

    He sounds like one of the nastier participants in Trump's riot.


    Athol man charged with using riot shield against police during Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection - The Boston Globe

    excerpt:

    "Multiple tips from the public helped identify him, the affidavit said. They came from a former neighbor of Gillespie; an employee of an American Automobile Association location in Massachusetts who recognized him from visits to that office; as well as three witnesses who work for the Town of Athol, where Gillespie “frequently attends meetings and pays his tax bills at the Town Hall.”

    The affidavit said the witnesses “independently, positively” identified Gillespie in images from the insurrection.

    Joseph R. Bonavolonta, special agent in charge of the FBI Boston Division, had said in September that his team was working the case hard.

    “We are working very closely with our law enforcement and private sector partners to identify those who attempted to use violence and destruction to intimidate, coerce, or affect the conduct of our government,” Bonavolonta said in a statement in September."

    Gillespie was known for proffering conspiracies and thinking that systems are rigged against him.

    It's the type of mindset that makes a person ripe for cultivation by Trump.


    Athol man charged with using riot shield against police during Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection - The Boston Globe

    excerpt:

    "In his suits, Gillespie alleged that his father, an American realist artist who committed suicide in 2000, left more than 400 valuable paintings that were sold off against his wishes, instead of being displayed in museums. He accused his stepmother, her lawyers, the trial court, and various judges of fraud, misconduct, and conspiracy.

    All of the suits were ultimately dismissed and in 2017, the SJC ordered him to pay nearly $5,000 to cover his stepmother’s attorneys’ fees.

    One of Gillespie’s half-siblings said in a brief interview Friday they had not spoken to Gillespie in about 25 years.

    “Honestly, I am just shocked and really saddened to hear that this has happened,” said J. Gillespie.I hold sympathy for the officers that were involved, and I hope that the justice system does whatever needs to be done.”

    In a 2016 Keene Sentinel article about voters canvassing for former president Trump, Gillespie was quoted saying that he believed US political systems are “rigged.”"

    If this keeps up someone might have to start a Melania Trump Score Card


    Melania Trump under investigation related to Florida charity laws

    The former first lady allegedly sold tickets for a meet and greet for a non-existent charity

    Melania Trump is being scrutinized for selling tickets to a meet and greet with a portion of the proceeds going to a charity that doesn't appear to exist.

    While noting that former first lady has already been attempting to make money by auctioning off some apparel, the Times' Shane Goldmacher and Eric Lipton reported that Melania has a "high tea" event scheduled in April in Florida that is raising eyebrows.

    According to the report, "Mrs. Trump is now selling tickets to the April 'high tea,' with organizers saying that some of the profits will benefit an initiative of her 'Be Best' endeavor called 'Fostering the Future,' meant to provide computer-science scholarships to young people who have been in foster care."

    With details vague as to what portion of the ticket sales will go to the former president's wife, questions are being raised about her "Fostering the Future" charity.

    I have never fully understood what it is that draws these people to crime or quasi-criminal behavior?

    They’ll do anything to get more power, and more money. In her case she will claim ignorance to the law(s).

    According to MSNBC news broadcast, Trump Inc has 590 million dollars of loans due in September 2022. Roughly half of those loans were personally signed by Donald Trump. Leaving him personally responsible for them.

    With his former accounting firm statement about Trumps financial statements being unreliable. His chances of refinancing those loans are very slim. If possible at all. The most likely event is donors giving him money or buying into his lies and bailing him out of his loans.

    Right now his Super Pac are leasing office space at stupidly inflated prices at Trump Towers. As the space remains totally empty. And that money is going straight into Trumps bank account. Where is that money coming from ? From his donors. What a scam !

    Ignorance is a term which appropriately describes them.
