The Donald Trump Score Card

It stands to reason that Trump would pick someone from that type of venue to be his communications person.

Cheung has been with Trump since 2016.

'Dispirited' and 'Humbled': The Conspicuous Absence of Bay Area Protests After Trump's Win | KQED

excerpt:

"This time, he won the electoral college more handily and is leading in the popular vote by more than a two-point margin. There’s much less shock because he’s held office before. In general, the feeling is more resignation than anger.

Whether those feelings linger or turn into determination and defiance will be an important indicator of how national politics will trend in the near future, Krosnick said.

“If the part of America that supports the Democratic Party becomes deactivated as a result of this, then the momentum of the Republican Party is going to be tremendous in the coming decades,” he said.

Republicans also gained a majority in the Senate, flipping four seats. Control of the House of Representatives has not yet been decided, but Republicans have already picked up two seats from Democrats."

 

Giuliani’s Legal Team Desperate to Quit His Tragic Court Bid

excerpt:

"Judge Liman has at times sounded livid in court as Giuliani’s counsel have launched one squirrely argument after another that he shouldn’t have to hand over property.

When they said last week that he shouldn’t have to part with one watch because his grandfather gave it to him, Liman retorted, “Oh, come on, that’s ridiculous. The law is the law.”"

 

Giuliani’s Legal Team Desperate to Quit His Tragic Court Bid

excerpt:

"Giuliani’s case has devolved into a bizarre game of hide-and-seek as he has repeatedly refused to turn over assets, including his Manhattan apartment, New York Yankees memorabilia, and luxury watches in defiance of a court order.

When lawyers for Freeman and Moss were granted access to the apartment last month, they found that valuables including furniture and art had been removed in advance.

To add injury to insult, Giuliani showed up to vote in Florida on Election Day driving a Mercedes-Benz he was ordered to surrender.

Days later, he begged for money and claimed he couldn’t afford food in a desperate, since-deleted tweet."

 

Giuliani finally turned over his Mercedes, watches, and ring to Freeman and Moss.

Giuliani has relentlessly made fictitious claims that Freeman and Moss engaged in election fraud in the 2020 election.

He's been playing a shell game to hide both himself and his property in the civil defamation case.

In his criminal case in AZ, the process servers had difficulty locating him to deliver the indictment to him as he hid in Florida and mocked prosecutors about it.


Rudy Giuliani has turned over his luxury watches in defamation case, rep says

excerpt:

"A judge last week ordered Giuliani to hand over a trove of prized possessions, including a 1980 Mercedes once owned by movie star Lauren Bacall and more than two dozen watches, after missing an Oct. 29 deadline."

 

Will Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's new 'department' actually be able to do anything?

excerpt:

“There are 1,200+ programs that are no longer authorized but still receive appropriations,” he wrote. “This is totally nuts. We can & should save hundreds of billions each year by defunding government programs that Congress no longer authorizes. We’ll challenge any politician who disagrees to defend the other side.”

Ramswamy’s post prompted some users to note that among those expired programs is veterans’ health care — one of the largest expenses in that bucket.

 

Will Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's new 'department' actually be able to do anything?

excerpt:

“It’s unclear at this point what the exact role or mandate will be of this advisory committee,” said Joe Spielberger, policy counsel at the Project on Government Oversight, a nonpartisan government watchdog. “But first of all, just putting two knuckleheads in charge of government efficiency sounds pretty counterintuitive as a starting point.”

 

Trump has repeatedly lied that the $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicles is a government mandate.

Trump's transition team has said it will end the credit.

excerpt:

"If Kennedy gets an opportunity as the country’s top health official to promote his past claims that vaccines are not safe and effective or to act on his desire to fire 600 people at the National Institutes of Health, which oversees many facets of health research, including vaccines, he could have a more immediate impact on the lives of millions of Americans. If for instance his advice or ideas led to a lowering of the penetration of vaccines in the US population, a significant number of lives could be at risk.

Kennedy has some views that top physicians welcome, including his calls for processed foods to be removed from school lunches and his warnings that the food industry is marketing products that increase a chronic disease crisis. But the president-elect’s decision to put RFK Jr. in charge of the health of 350 million Americans, despite his stances on vaccines that contradict the science-based research of most scientists and medical experts, is likely to ignite a new debate about the potential real-world implications of the second Trump term that will begin in January."

 

Trump’s New Oligarchy Is About to Unleash Unimaginable Corruption | The New Republic

excerpt:

“The next four years are going to be a smash and grab under Trump,” Senator Ron Wyden, chair of the Finance Committee, told me in a statement. Wyden added that the “special interests who put Trump back in office expect a return on their investment,” which is “all the more reason not to let up on oversight.” But Republicans will now make this oversight a lot harder.

Then there’s Trump’s decision to tap billionaire Elon Musk to head the grandiosely and misleadingly titled Department of Government Efficiency, a nongovernmental body that will push substantial cuts in regulations, spending, and personnel. As The New York Times reports, Musk has grown infuriated with oversight on his SpaceX company, yet he will now be in a position to get Trump to consider regulatory rollbacks that benefit him, even as he enjoys lucrative federal contracts. That, plus government oversight on his other companies, creates the potential for serious conflicts of interest.

excerpt:

"In a final pre-election moment of engaged progressive fury, a reported 250,000 of its subscribers canceled after Jeff Bezos’ last-ditch decision to not endorse a presidential candidate, which looked like cowardly appeasement by a self-proclaimed protector of democracy. Bezos’ move — and his unctuous post-election post congratulating Trump — made the cancellations feel like righteous revenge. Yet the subscription losses will come out of a budget that has supported consistently ambitious reporting, something more necessary than ever after the return of a leader whose closest former aides call him a wannabe authoritarian."

 

When Tuberville became a U.S. senator, he said publicly that he was going to use his Senate office to raise campaign money for himself, which is a violation of federal law.

It shows how clueless he is.

He's a former football coach. Trump endorsed him, which helped him become a U.S. senator.

 

Trump's daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, who became the RNC co-chair, may become a U.S. senator. She could fill the U.S. Senate seat in FL that has been opened by Rubio whom Trump tapped to become his secretary of state.

 

Summary of Trump's co-defendants who pleaded guilty in the GA election subversion criminal case.

Three of them were Trump's attorneys (Powell, Ellis, and Chesebro).

Trump can't pardon them because it's a state case.

excerpt:

"Sidney Powell, a public face of Trump’s attempts to challenge the election results in 2020 and 2021, pleaded guilty Thursday. The former Trump attorney will avoid jail time but agreed to testify as a witness and pleaded guilty to six misdemeanors for conspiracy to commit intentional interference, downgraded from felony charges she had faced.

Kenneth Chesebro, a less public face of the effort, was an attorney who helped engineer the fake electors plot. He pleaded guilty Friday to a single felony, conspiracy to commit filing false documents. He’s also likely to avoid jail time.

Scott Hall, a bail bondsman, pleaded guilty last month after being accused of conspiring to unlawfully access voter data and ballot-counting machines at the Coffee County election office on January 7, 2021."

Hegseth background.


Trump Pentagon pick had been flagged by fellow service member as possible 'Insider Threat'

excerpt:

"Since Jan. 6, Hegseth, like many Trump supporters, has minimized both the riot’s seriousness and the role of people with military training. Amid the widespread condemnation the day after the assault, Hegseth took a different approach. On a panel on Fox News, Hegseth portrayed the crowd as patriots, saying they “love freedom” and were “people who love our country” who had “been re-awoken to the reality of what the left has done” to their country.

Of the 14 people convicted in the Capitol attack of seditious conspiracy, the most serious charge resulting from Jan. 6, eight previously served in the military. While the majority of those with military backgrounds arrested after Jan. 6 were no longer serving, more than 20 were in the military at the time of the attack, according to START.

Hegseth wrote in his book “The War on Warriors,” published earlier this year, that just “a few” or “a handful” of active-duty soldiers and reservists had been at the Capitol that day. He did not address the hundreds of military veterans who were arrested and charged."

 

Three of Bannon's cohorts in the We Build The Wall scheme were convicted and sentenced.

Shea was sentenced to 63 months in prison.

Kolfage was sentenced to 51 months in prison.

Badolato was sentenced to 36 months in prison.

Trump pardoned Bannon in the federal case as one of his last acts before leaving office.

Giuliani still won't stop with his stolen election truther narratives, even after being indicted in two election-related criminal cases in AZ and GA and a civil defamation case in GA that he lost.

As he hid from the AZ indictment to be served to him, he mocked prosecutors by saying that if they couldn't even find him, that they supposedly couldn't count votes correctly, implying that the 2020 election really was stolen from Trump.

Giuliani Tracked Down by Arizona AG — Because He Kept Posting

excerpt:

"Too bad for him that he couldn’t stop posting: As a result, Giuliani was served on Friday leaving his birthday party.

“Our agents traveled to Florida [on Friday]. We knew he was there because of his nightly live video streams at his residence,” Richie Taylor, communications director for the Arizona attorney general office, tells Rolling Stone. “The agents took the opportunity to serve him when he was out at a friend’s nearby house as he left his birthday party … He is expected to appear in court on Tuesday, May 21, unless he asks the court for a delay.”":

Giuliani Tracked Down by Arizona AG — Because He Kept Posting

excerpt:

“If Arizona authorities can’t find me by tomorrow morning: 1. They must dismiss the indictment; 2. They must concede they can’t count votes,” Giuliani posted, alongside a beaming selfie with friends at an 80th birthday party.

 

It's been four years since Giuliani started his defamation campaign on Freeman and Moss to support Trump's lies about the 2020 election supposedly being stolen from him. Freeman and Moss are finally collecting from him.

Giuliani lost his condo in NY. He also finally turned over his Mercedes, luxury watches, and a ring after play games of hide-and-seek. He faced contempt of court and jail time if he continued to obstruct.

Giuliani's own lawyers have finally had enough of him and are dumping him.

Giuliani says Trump and the RNC owe him $2 million in legal fees. He won' receive it even if Trump pays it. The court said it would be transferred to Freeman and Moss.
