The Donald Trump Score Card

MAGA rioter who wept in court faces up to 46 months in prison after pleading guilty to assaulting cops

excerpt:

"A New York man who boasted to his aunt about fighting and macing police officers at the January 6 riot has pleaded guilty.

Cody Mattice, 29, of Rochester, N.Y., pleaded guilty Friday to a count of assaulting, resisting or impeding officers on Jan. 6 – a felony charge with a recommended sentencing range of 37-46 months in prison and up to three years of supervised release afterward, WUSA9-TV reported. The two sides agreed to the sentencing range -- which is below the eight years’ maximum punishment for the offense -- but a judge is not bound by the agreement.

Mattice entered the plea via teleconference before D.C. District Court Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell from the facility in which he is being held. Also pleading to the same charge -- but in attendance in his orange prison jumpsuit -- was James Mault, 30, a friend of Mattice from Rochester with whom he participated in the riot. Mault had drawn attention for having joined the U.S. Army after taking part in the insurrection.

The two men were shown on video having pulled down barricades, attacking multiple police officers as part of a mob surging forward and having sprayed officers with chemical agents. And the judge took note that the defendants’ participation had been spontaneous."

Trump refused to release disaster aid unless governors groveled for it, book reveals

excerpt:

"Former president Donald Trump routinely forced governors to grovel and beg him personally for federal aid following natural disasters, according to a forthcoming book by a pair of New York Times reporters.

According to a copy of This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future obtained by The Independent ahead of its’ 3 May release date, authors Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns learned from Maryland Governor Larry Hogan that Mr Trump had a policy which stated that only Texas and Florida — two states with GOP governors he considered to be close allies — would receive federal aid when needed without question.

Mr Hogan told the authors that Mr Trump required the other 48 governors of American states to direct their requests to him personally.

“You have to call and ask me nicely,” he recalled Mr Trump saying.

The disgraced, twice-impeached ex-president’s penchant for tying federal funds to political concerns was widely known by the end of his term in office, and was what led to his first impeachment in 2019, after he tried to blackmail Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into launching sham investigations into President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden."

excerpt:

"Former President Donald Trump will hold a rally in Ohio Saturday evening. The event is aimed at boosting GOP Senate candidate J.D. Vance, who Trump has endorsed in the state’s Senate race."

 

These people must be charged and removed from Congress for violations of the 14th Amendment. If you participate in insurrection, as in giving advice for a takeover, then you go to prison.

 

Patronage.

 

Trump is still ranting about washing dishes.

"At one point, he spent nearly ten minutes speaking about a purported Biden administration regulation which he said was causing Americans to not have enough water to wash dishes or bathe themselves."

 

At his Ohio rally, Trump said he saved the washing machine industry.

Michigan GOP selects two Trump-endorsed, fringe 'stolen election' candidates to run for attorney general and secretary of state.


DePerno wins GOP attorney general race after runoff; Karamo wins SOS endorsement

excerpt:

"Grand Rapids — Donald Trump's preferred candidates, Matt DePerno for attorney general and Kristina Karamo for secretary of state, won the endorsement Saturday of Michigan Republican Party delegates, solidifying the former president's hold over a changing GOP.

DePerno, a lawyer from Kalamazoo, got the party's endorsement after a runoff election while Karamo, an educator from Oak Park, got the nod for secretary of state in the first round of voting.

DePerno won 54% of the delegates in the second vote after falling short of the required 50% in the first round. He was locked in a tight and contentious race with former House Speaker Tom Leonard of DeWitt, who got 46% in the second vote."

 

Election Denying, Conspiracy-theorist Karamo Endorsed to Oversee Elections - Michigan Democratic Party

excerpt:

"GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Michigan Republican Party today endorsed an inexperienced extremist for Secretary of State who denies the results of the 2020 General Election, peddles debunked conspiracy theories, and calls mainstream Republicans who don’t agree with her, “traitors.” Endorsed by former President Trump, Kristina Karamo has also dismissed as “actors and actresses,” police officers who testified before congress and who were brutally beaten by Trump supporters during the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

“As someone who peddles in conspiracy theories, denies the 2020 election results and spreads lies about the Jan 6th insurrection, Kristina Karamo shouldn’t be allowed within 100 miles of the Secretary of State’s office for which she has been endorsed by the Michigan GOP,” said Michigan Democratic Party Chair Lavora Barnes. “Kristina Karamo is a fear-spreading, inexperienced extremist who brands Republicans who disagree with her as ‘traitors’ and Democrats as much worse."

 

Trump-endorsed candidates emerge victorious in Michigan GOP convention

excerpt:

"The success of Karamo and DePerno are part of a broader national trend of election-denying candidates seeking top posts in battleground states. If these candidates are successfully elected, they will be directly involved with validating the results of future elections.

"It's true that any past party president, you know, would be a very influential endorsement," Matt Grossmann, a political science professor at Michigan State University, told ABC News. "What is not routine at all is that the president is making a decision on the basis of people's views of whether the last election was stolen or not.""

 

Self-inflicted punishment has become common for the GOP.

The latest is DeSantis and his antics against Disney that damage his own state and constituents.

Another is the un-vaccinated saying with their last dying COVID breath, "Freedom or death!"

A cartoon on the web shows a resident pleased about freezing during the power outages in TX due to totally free and unregulated markets that governor Abbott praises.

Another cartoon shows a person burning himself alive in his house while saying, "Take that, liberals!"

 

The Governor of Colorado has already made overtures to Walt Disney World if they want to move out of Florida.

They won't because the weather in Florida is part of the overall attraction but it could be a sign of things to come.

 

The bigger problem is his fans believed him...

Totally free market has its downsides. Customers who were on free market variable rates were being billed on the order of $15,000 for a month of electricity in TX.

Governor Abbott said he would have the state legislators offer some relief.

A $16,752 electric bill. "Take that, liberals!"

“My savings is gone,” said Scott Willoughby, a 63-year-old Army veteran who lives on Social Security payments in a Dallas suburb. He said he had nearly emptied his savings account so that he would be able to pay the $16,752 electric bill charged to his credit card — 70 times what he usually pays for all of his utilities combined. “There’s nothing I can do about it, but it’s broken me.”

 

In other words, tax-payer subsidized relief for the Abbott-praised, free-market utilities.

 

For Trump’s G.O.P., Crossing Lines Has Few Consequences

excerpt:

"Yet when the House Republican leader, Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, was shown to have lied about his response to the deadliest assault on the Capitol in centuries and President Donald J. Trump’s culpability for it, there was little expectation that the consequences would be swift or severe — or that there would be any at all."
