The Donald Trump Score Card

A mass shooting could occur at a press conference about a mass shooting.

 

They probably don't allow guns at their press conferences...

 

Former House Republicans urge GOP lawmakers to comply with Jan. 6 subpoenas | The Hill

excerpt:

"Twenty-one former House Republican lawmakers are urging the five current GOP lawmakers subpoenaed by the select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot to comply with the panel’s demands.

“We believe our country is at a pivotal moment. In the wake of the January 6th, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, current Members bear a responsibility to do all they can to secure our institutions. As part of that duty, we write to urge you to cooperate with the House Select Committee investigating the attack,” the former lawmakers wrote.

The letter is addressed to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Reps. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), all of whom were served subpoenas by the committee earlier this month after they bucked voluntary invitations to speak with investigators."

 

If the GOP takes over the House in the 2022 election, those are the people who will comprise a committee that will investigate Democrats and Fauci.

 

An example of politicians becoming increasingly fringe.


GOP candidate says life begins before conception, even in cases of rape

excerpt:

"Republican candidate for governor of Oklahoma has called for a total ban on abortion without any exceptions, while arguing that life begins "before" conception.

Mark Sherwood, an alternative medicine practitioner and former police officer, said on Thursday that he hopes to push a total abortion ban through the Oklahoma state legislature if he is elected. Sherwood is one of at least three Republican candidates hoping to unseat incumbent Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt when the state's GOP primary takes place on June 28.

Sherwood, who was adopted, told Real America's Voice host David Brody on a Thursday segment for The Water Cooler that his birth mother had likely been raped before giving birth to him. He suggested that abortion should be banned even for pregnancies that begin under the most "heinous" of circumstances, before citing a Bible verse to explain his belief that life begins "before" pregnancy.

"No life, even conceived in the most heinous or even less-than-ideal circumstances, is a mistake," Sherwood said. "As I sit here and talk to you, I can tell you unequivocally, even the people that are pro-choice are not mistakes."

 

Sounds like she has some personal experience.

 

Incidents just as strange have happened.

A survivor of the Las Vegas mass shooting was killed during another mass shooting in his hometown.


Thousand Oaks: Las Vegas shooting survivor among dead

excerpt:

"A man who survived a mass shooting in Las Vegas last year was among those killed in Wednesday's attack in California, his family says.

Telemachus Orfanos, 27, died alongside 11 others when a man opened fire at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, north-west of Los Angeles.

He escaped death last year when a gunman killed 58 people in Las Vegas.

A number of survivors of that shooting, the worst in modern US history, have said they were at the bar on Wednesday.

"My son was in Las Vegas with a lot of his friends and he came home. He didn't come home last night," his mother told ABC News.

"I don't want prayers, I don't want thoughts, I want gun control", she said.

"It's particularly ironic that after surviving the worst mass shooting in modern history, he went on to be killed in his hometown," his father told the Ventura County Star."

 

GOP is still frustrated that Trump lost WI and wants to abolish the bipartisan elections commission.

excerpt:

"MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The only Republican candidate running for governor in Wisconsin who had supported keeping the bipartisan state elections commission in place reversed his position Wednesday, calling for it to be dissolved hours before the panel was to vote on who would be its next chairman.

Construction company co-owner Tim Michels said in a statement that he now supports doing away with the commission after speaking with attendees at the Wisconsin Republican Party convention last weekend, including commissioner Bob Spindell. Spindell, who is running to be the next chair of the commission, was one of 10 Republicans who tried to cast Electoral College votes for former President Donald Trump in Wisconsin, even though he lost.

The next chair of the commission will hold the position heading into the November election and in the lead up to the 2024 presidential election in battleground Wisconsin. The chair by state law approves the vote canvass following elections and certifies results. The chair also sets the agenda for the commission and can exert influence over how questions are framed, an important power on the board that is evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats.

Spindell would need at least one of the commission's three Democrats to vote for him in order to be elected. State law requires the next chair to be a Republican and the only other commissioner allowed to seek the post is Dean Knudson, a former state representative. Knudson said on Tuesday that he did not anticipate having any comment before the commission's meeting."

DOJ interviews Georgia Republicans about interactions with Trump campaign in fake elector probe - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Federal investigators have interviewed Republicans in Georgia about interactions with people in former President Donald Trump’s orbit and his 2020 reelection campaign, as the Justice Department’s sprawling criminal probe examines efforts to put forth alternate slates of electors to displace Joe Biden electors in battleground states Trump lost.

In one case, FBI agents asked a prominent Georgia Republican whether he had direct conversations with Trump.

“They just asked who talked to me. If anyone from the Trump campaign had been in touch with me. Did Giuliani talk to me? Did Trump talk to me?” said Patrick Gartland, who was set to serve as an elector but dropped out. He recounted how two FBI agents visited his home in Marietta, Georgia, a few weeks ago.

Investigators have sought answers this month from Gartland and others connected to the GOP in Georgia – both in FBI interviews and in grand jury subpoenas for documents and testimony. Investigators are looking at whether the Trump campaign played a role in the submission of false election certificates, according to people approached by the Justice Department."

 

And if any Democrats then refuse to honor subpoenas issued by Republicans, the GOP will scream bloody murder, accusing Dems of treason and lawlessness while decrying the damage being done to the system of law in America........apparently not recognizing the irony that they started the whole thing.

 

But then again, the Democrats don't seem to be having much of a shit fit about all of the GOP's transgressions.

 

Fuck Rafael Cruz

 

That was a great question line....'why is this an American problem?'.......

 

"Because we need more guns! .... And less doors! ..... " ~ Ted Cruz

 

As Grieving Parkland Families Waited for Trump, He Ranted About How to 'Stick It to the Mexicans'

excerpt:

"As Trump’s team was preparing him in late 2018 to meet with the families of murdered children from Parkland, Florida, the president, according to the individual present, was more concerned about his border wall, a desire to “stick it to the Mexicans,” and an unflattering headline on the conservative news site, Drudge Report.

The meeting in question was in December of 2018, when the administration had invited select Parkland victims’ families to the White House for a roundtable on “the Federal Commission on School Safety Report.” Before Trump’s on-camera summit with the families, he was in a closed-door Oval Office meeting, where his staff was trying to prepare the then-president to discuss school safety and what his administration was, ostensibly, doing about it.

The advisers got barely “two minutes” into briefing Trump on “school-safety” recommendations before the president upended the meeting with a long and unrelated tirade, according to Miles Taylor, then a Department of Homeland Security official who was in the Oval that day.

“I want to close the border. Let’s do it. If they don’t give me the money we shut the whole border,” Trump said, according to contemporaneous notes Taylor took of the meeting and shared with Rolling Stone. Trump wanted the money for his wall, and his push to buildwas was part of a longer rant in which he discussed the border and yelled at his lieutenants about various media grievances. “can’t focus on the kids. Doesn’t care about the kids. Can only focus on the wall and possible shutdown … Fuck this,” the notes read."
