The Donald Trump Score Card

They did this when committing the crime.

 

These people aren't very bright, are they?

Eric, carry a flagpole (or a ladder for that matter) and observe the serious structural damage you can do with it. True, you may scratch the paint, but that’s about it.

 

Opinion | Boris Johnson’s Grip on Power Was Always Weaker than Trump’s

excerpt:

"Boris Johnson became the British prime minister because the Conservative party felt they had no other choice. They were, in summer 2019, on the verge of splitting — with no Parliamentary majority, no agreement on a deal to leave the EU, and the prospect of an election against a left-wing Labour leader who they felt represented an existential risk to the country. They turned to Johnson as a last resort, knowing full well his reputation for dishonesty and lack of material career achievements. But he was the only Member of Parliament (MP) who had both campaigned for Brexit and was reasonably popular with potential Conservative voters. So in desperation they took the plunge."

Trump tried to interrupt Ducey as he was signing the certification of Biden winning Arizona.

'Hail to the Chief' could be heard playing on Ducey's phone, which was known to be his ringtone for Trump. He put it on silent as he signed the document.

 

Trump removed from his own media firm.

From Bloomberg news:

excerpt:

"Dominion Voting Systems Inc. on Wednesday subpoenaed Christopher Krebs, the former top cybersecurity official at the Department of Homeland Security whom Trump fired for refusing to question the integrity of the election, court filings show. The company is also seeking to question Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who was pressured by Trump to flip the state’s election results after Joe Biden was declared the winner."

 

Webster also claimed that he was defending himself against the police he was beating. He said the police officer punched him in the face so hard that it felt like being hit by a freight train.

The video evidence doesn't support his claim. The jury didn't believe it.

 

Webster would claim that the flagpole is a dangerous weapon after a police officer took it away from him to disarm him.

But it's not dangerous if it's in Webster's hand being used to attack a police officer.

 

Some of Trump's rioters were using pieces of furniture as weapons, such as a leg of a table with nails protruding.

In the mind of Trump's rioters, those supposedly aren't dangerous weapons. Neither are fire extinguishers discharged and thrown at police, pepper spray, bear spray, flag poles (some with pointed ends, as seen in video), tasers, stun guns, stolen police property such as riot shields used to smash windows, and a knife used to gouge the eye of a police officer. It's all allegedly in self-defense.

 

"Legitimate Political Discourse"

 

Why Johnson fell but Trump remains his party's de facto leader ... for now - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Britain’s Conservatives just did what America’s Republicans never dared to do.

They toppled a wrecking ball right-wing populist leader who reeled from one self-created scandal to another and who was accused of flagrantly breaking the law, abusing power and building his political career on an edifice of lies.

After weeks of clinging desperately to office, Boris Johnson finally resigned as the ruling Conservative Party’s leader Thursday after a rebellion by his own lawmakers. The party will elect a new leader, who, according to the customs of Britain’s parliamentary system, will become prime minister.

America’s Republican Party, however, never turned on Donald Trump in the same way – despite his far more ruinous offenses against democracy than Johnson’s. It’s not that Republicans didn’t have the chance. The ex-President was impeached twice, but most GOP senators chose not to vote to convict him of high crimes and misdemeanors last year – a step that could have barred him from future federal office.

The contrasting fates of Johnson and Trump come down to personal factors, electoral politics and the idiosyncrasies in the political systems of two nations.

Johnson was long seen as a vote-winning machine. He was the talismanic figure who won a referendum in 2016 that led to Britain’s exit from the European Union. Then, in a general election in late 2019, he delivered an extraordinary victory for the Conservatives – capturing post-industrial working-class heartlands in England and Wales that had long been the left-wing Labour Party’s power base.

But Johnson was the author of his own demise. His appeal ruptured over revelations that he had attended parties in 10 Downing Street after ordering his country into Covid-19 lockdowns.

 

Why Johnson fell but Trump remains his party's de facto leader ... for now - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Trump and Johnson have long been seen as two peas in a pod – and not just because of their strong sense of victimhood and refusal to take responsibility for their transgressions on the way out of office.

Both have turbulent romantic histories, both rose to power on the force of untamed personalities and have distant acquaintances with the truth. Both often appeared to prioritize their own goals and craving to satisfy massive political egos over the national interest. And both tried to cling to office – Trump after losing an election and Johnson as his party deserted him – long after it was obvious they were on the way out.

Still, personal comparisons between Johnson and the other golden-haired rule breaker on this side of the Atlantic have generally been overblown, even if both weaponized resentment against elites to win power.

Despite his extraordinary success in winning over blue-collar voters, much as Trump did with rust-belt blue-collar Democrats, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson is hardly anti-establishment. Exceedingly well-read and a talented writer, Johnson came through Britain’s pipeline to power – from exclusive private school Eton and Balliol College at Oxford University. It’s unlikely Johnson would have survived a lifetime of scrapes were it not for the class deference embedded in British public life and the sense of entitlement his upbringing instilled in him."

Trump Blasted 'Stupid' Georgia Cowards For Not Tossing Vote For Him, Says Filmmaker

excerpt:

"Trump told Holder there was “no way that guy” — President Joe Biden —“got 80 million votes.” It could easily be straightened out with “signature verification,” but “stupid” Georgia Republicans Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger were “not brave enough” to cooperate, Trump said, according to Holder.

“This is a moment where the sitting president of the United States is sitting in the White House, looking me in the eye and telling me that he actually won the 2020 election when, in fact, he didn’t,” said Holder, whose docuseries “Unprecedented” will be aired in the future on Discovery+."

 

All Trump wanted to do was simply deputize his attorneys to circumvent privacy laws in GA and selectively rummage through people's personal data going back 5 to 10 years to try to see if it was the same group of people all those years who were registered to vote in Democrat-heavy precincts.
