The Donald Trump Score Card

'Biden can’t fight two fronts!' Pro-Trump truckers believe convoy related to Russia-Ukraine war

excerpt:

"People saying that Ukraine is a distraction fail to see how this favors the convoy," the organizers posted. "Biden can't fight on two fronts, the convoy for freedom now has free ride in the USA!"

 

Lindsey Graham throws tantrum over Biden Supreme Court pick — only 256 days after voting to confirm her

excerpt:

"One of two Republican senators who has chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee lashed out at President Joe Biden shortly after multiple media organizations reported he would nominate Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the United States Supreme Court to succeed Justice Stephen Breyer.

"If media reports are accurate, and Judge Jackson has been chosen as the Supreme Court nominee to replace Justice Breyer, it means the radical Left has won President Biden over yet again," Graham tweeted.

Graham's complaints came 256 days after he voted to confirm Judge Brown to the DC Appeals Court, which is widely seen as the second most important court in the country."

 

Johnson, who stole Pelosi's podium, is sentenced to 75 days in prison.


Podium-stealing rioter given harsh sentence by angry judge

excerpt:

"A U.S. Capitol rioter was handed an unusually stiff sentence for stealing House speaker Nancy Pelosi's podium during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Adam Johnson, who was famously photographed carrying the podium and wearing a broad smile and a Trump cap, was sentenced to 75 days in prison after pleading guilty in November to entering and remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority, reported Politico.

“Messages have to be sent,” said Reggie Judge Walton, who warned from the bench that Johnson and the other rioters' conduct was a hazard to the “fundamental fabric of American society."

"That’s what we see in countries, like what we’re experiencing now in Ukraine," Walton said. "That’s where we’re headed if we don’t do anything to stop it.""

 

Has the ISS become a new front in Russia’s war in Ukraine?

excerpt:

"The head of Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, has suggested that the International Space Station (ISS) could fall out of orbit and crash into the United States or Europe as a result of sanctions on Russia.

The comments came following US president Joe Biden’s announcement of new sanctions that “will degrade their [Russia’s] aerospace industry, including their space programme”.

The announcement came following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"If you block cooperation with us, who will save the International Space Station (ISS) from an uncontrolled deorbit and fall into the United States or Europe?" Dmitry Rogozin, Director General of Roscosmos, said in response on Twitter.

He pointed out that the station’s orbit and location in space are controlled by Russian-made engines.

"There is also the possibility of a 500-tonne structure falling on India and China. Do you want to threaten them with such a prospect? The ISS does not fly over Russia, therefore all the risks are yours. Are you ready for them?""

 

‘Florida has defeated Fauci-ism,’ DeSantis tells CPAC convention

excerpt:

"Declaring that “Florida has defeated Fauci-ism” and condemning the “scientific and technical elite,” Gov. Ron DeSantis kicked off CPAC in Orlando on Thursday, where some of America’s most prominent conservatives have gathered for four days of schmoozing and speeches.

“We need people all over the country to be willing to put on that full armor of God to stand firm against the left,” DeSantis said. “I can tell you this: in Florida, we will be standing our ground. We will be holding that line. We are not going to back down. …We have only begun to fight.”

One thing the Republican governor did not mention was Russia’s attack on Ukraine, despite speaking at the same time President Biden addressed the nation about the crisis.

The governor is not the most high-profile speaker scheduled at the Conservative Political Action Conference held at the Rosen Shingle Creek resort, however. Former President Donald Trump is returning to Orlando for its second year of CPAC on Saturday.""

 

The 2022 CPAC convention is in Orlando Florida again, like it was in 2021.

The 2022 CPAC speakers include but are not limited to:

Donald Trump
Donald Trump Jr.
Candace Owens
Govenor Ron DeSantis
Senator Ted Cruz
Mercedes Schlapp
Tito Ortiz
Michele Tafoya
Papa John
Senator Marsha Blackburn
Representative Lauren Boebert
Dr. Ben Carson
Glenn Beck
Mike Pompeo
Jim Jordan
Sean Spicer
Ronny Jackson
Sebastian Gorka
Madison Cawthorne
Rick Scott
Andy Biggs
Eduardo Bolsonaro
Matt Gaetz

 

Florida has become the GOP's favorite destination, and not just for its beaches

excerpt:

"CPAC rose to prominence over several decades as a summit for conservatives, and for the last decade it's been held in Maryland, near the nation's capital.

But Schlapp thinks it may have found a new home in Florida: "Going forward, I think it will be very hard for Maryland to convince us we want to do business in a high-tax state that's colder, that at any moment the government can decide to shut us down."

A host of other Republican gatherings have also found accommodations in Florida. There was the Federalist Society meeting recently where former Vice President Mike Pence said Trump was wrong in saying the vice president could have overturned the election. The Republican National Committee has held several meetings here, including a spring donor retreat last year that included a visit to Mar-a-Lago, the private club where the former president now makes his home."

 

Florida has become the GOP's favorite destination, and not just for its beaches

excerpt:

"Republican fundraisers are held frequently at Mar-a-Lago. The Washington Post identified 30 Republican events at the club last year, including fundraisers for at least 20 Republican candidates.

Former Republican political strategist Rick Wilson said, "Mar-a-Lago has become ... where you go and grease the palm of Trump to get an endorsement."

A co-founder of The Lincoln Project who is based in Florida, Wilson has become one of the loudest and sharpest critics of the party under Trump. "People go down there. They pay for a big fancy reception. They pay to rent rooms for parties, events and fundraisers. And there's the hope that Donald Trump will notice them," he added.

A fundraiser is being held this week at Mar-a-Lago for a Trump PAC, "Make America Great Again, Again!" It has a top ticket price of $250,000 per couple with an option to purchase a two-night stay at the club."

Laura Ingraham is missing from that list

 

How about some jail time for these douche bags??! Hell with online legal training- is this some kind of joke??!

 

I was hoping for the same thing but it appears lawyer Stefanie Lynn Junttila and Sidney (Release the crackhead) Powell submitted their filings with the court just before the midnight deadline, so they won't be held in contempt of court.

 

Georgia GOP chair tells 1/6 committee that Trump campaign directed alternate elector effort - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"The chairman of the Republican Party in Georgia on Friday told the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot that the Trump campaign had directed the party in 2020 to put forward an alternate slate of electors after then-President Donald Trump lost the state's vote, according to a person familiar with the testimony.

The Trump campaign's direct involvement in efforts to put forward so-called "fake" slates of electors in multiple states after Biden's win was previously reported by CNN, but it was not yet known if anyone involved had spoken about the campaign's directions to investigators.

The fake electors effort is now seen by the committee as a political disinformation tactic used to sow doubt in Joe Biden's win before the January 6, 2021, Electoral College vote certification in Washington. CNN previously reported that Trump outside lawyer Rudy Giuliani and the Trump campaign had been involved in organizing illegitimate elector slates in seven states."

 

Damn….

 

The Ukraine crisis is a major challenge for China

excerpt:

"The Ukraine-Russia crisis is posing a major challenge for China on many fronts.

The ever-closer diplomatic relationship between Russia and China could be seen at the Winter Games with Mr Putin coming to Beijing as one of only a handful of known world leaders to attend.

Significantly, Mr Putin waited until just after the Games were over to recognise the two breakaway regions of Ukraine and send in troops to back them.

In its public pronouncements, the Chinese government has urged all sides to de-escalate tensions in Ukraine.

But now that Russia has dispensed with all such restraint, where does that leave China's official position as clashes escalate?

The Chinese government thinks it cannot be seen to support war in Europe but also wants to strengthen military and strategic ties with Moscow."

 

Something has been off with Putin and Trump for many years.

Rubio seems to be recognizing this just now.


Top Republican on Senate committee says ‘something is off with Putin’

excerpt:

"US senator Marco Rubio has claimed that “something is off” with Vladimir Putin as invading Russian forces continued to attack Ukraine for the third day.

“I wish I could share more, but for now I can say it’s pretty obvious to many that something is off with Putin,” Mr Rubio said on Twitter on Saturday.

“He [Putin] has always been a killer, but his problem now is different and significant. It would be a mistake to assume this Putin would react the same way he would have 5 years ago,” he said.

Mr Rubio is a member of the Senate intelligence committee that makes him privy to briefings from American spies.

Russian forces have launched coordinated missile and artillery attacks on Ukrainian cities, including the capital Kyiv, in Europe’s worst conflict in decades that was launched by Vladimir Putin on Thursday. As the world watched events unfold with shock and horror after Mr Putin’s announcement on Thursday, leaders condemned the invasion and imposed sanctions against Russia."

 

NC Senate candidate Mark Walker turned down former President Trump and says it’s paid off so far

excerpt:

"Walker remains in a race that includes front-runners former Gov. Pat McCrory and Rep. Ted Budd, who last year landed Trump’s endorsement, in the battle to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Richard Burr.

"We’ve picked up seven or eight points," Walker noted as he touted recent polling. "We feel like this is ours for the taking, because of our record.""

 

Trump's people are the type who could riot amongst themselves backstage over a plan to start a riot.


https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/02/26/trump-pierson-wren/

"A simmering feud between rally organizers, including longtime Trump adviser Katrina Pierson and Republican fundraiser Caroline Wren, over who should speak that day was boiling over, culminating in a call to the U.S. Park Police, according to interviews with people familiar with the incident as well as text messages and police radio recordings reviewed by The Washington Post.

“Hey, can you break one or two bodies free to respond backstage? Possible disorderly,” says an unidentified speaker in a U.S. Park Police radio transmission that morning. The officers in radio communications described a “falling out,” with the person who called the police accusing another rally organizer of “interfering with the entire production.”

The call to police was made by Kylie Jane Kremer, executive director at Women for America First, a pro-Trump group that held the permit for the rally, who was aligned with Pierson in trying to keep some of Wren’s proposed speakers from addressing the crowd. Kremer confirmed in a statement to The Post that she called the Park Police."

McCarthy is still loyal to Trump after rioters were smashing the windows of his office at the Capitol.


Trump refused to call off mob new details from McCarthy call shows | Daily Mail Online

excerpt:

"CNN reported Friday that Trump and McCarthy engaged in an expletive-laced shouting match during the riot, with the California Republican begging the president to rein in his supporters.

'Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are,' Trump said, according to lawmakers who were briefed on the call by McCarthy.

McCarthy, who was described by CNN as 'furious,' yelled at Trump that the rioters were breaking his windows.

'Who the f**k do you think you are talking to?' the top House Republican yelled at the president of the United States.

New details about a call between President Donald Trump and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (pictured) suggest Trump was unwilling to call off the MAGA mob, even yelling at the House's top Republican: 'Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are' "

Trump refused to call off mob new details from McCarthy call shows | Daily Mail Online

excerpt:

"CNN's sources were Republican members of Congress, who believed that the contents of the call prove that Trump had no interest in calling off the deadly riot.

'He is not a blameless observer, he was rooting for them,' one GOP unnamed lawmaker said. 'On January 13, Kevin McCarthy said on the floor of the House that the President bears responsibility and he does.'

'This proves that the president knew very early on - what the mob was doing, and he knew members were at risk and he refused to act ... it's a violation of his oath of office to fail to come to this defense of Congress and the constitutional process immediately,' another GOP member familiar with the call told CNN."
