The Donald Trump Score Card

Cruz and Donald Trump Jr. behaving like preschoolers.

excerpt:

"1. Bake a cookie.

2. Frost it with the likeness of former president Barack Obama, styled after the iconic 2008 “HOPE” poster, but globbier and lumpier.

3. Hand the cookie to Donald Trump Jr., who will make a face and post it to Instagram. (Optional: Add Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex).)

4. Enjoy?

Certainly, some did.

The president's eldest son shared the photo on Sunday with no less than three tears-of-joy emoji, and more than 40,000 people clicked a heart beneath it.

But many most severely did not enjoy this little mix of confection and politics.

Some accused the cookie, and by extension the men with it, of disrespecting the office Trump Jr.'s father now occupies.

Some even saw racism within Obama's glazed contours.

The Dallas Observer, the city's alternative weekly newspaper, reported on calls to boycott the city's ritzy Le Bilboquet restaurant, where Trump Jr., Cruz and the Obama cookie had gathered for a party over the weekend.

Le Bilboquet's owner consequently disavowed the pastry in an open letter to his customers, expressing “indignation” that people unknown had brought the cookie into his restaurant “to promote, disrespect, and spread hatred.”"

 

Anybody who has been within arms reach of Donald Duck for the last four years is about to receive a prostrate exam, and his son is such an obvious problem asshole, the doctors will want to do a thorough job. The question yet remaining to be answered is not who will secede to the throne, but how much will the courts charge. The democrats are selling justice, while the Tea Party is selling low taxes and white power. McConnell first supporting traditional republican dogma and then kissing Donald Duck's ring is what the Mafia calls doing the "Ritual Thing". I would call them Mafia, except the Mafia has more self-respect.

 

Looks sort of like Bart Simpson.

 

QANONSENSE!

So the military will rise up and depose Joe Biden in a coup and Trump will be re-inaugurated this Thursday March 4. And on Friday there will be public executions of Biden, Obama, the Clintons, etc., all of Trump's enemies.

And if it doesn't happen? Then it's time to move on to the next wacko theory. Who needs reality when you have Q?

 

The point is the mindless mob has destroyed the republican party and politics as we know it. You'll catch on, when half the country keeps this up for a few years.

 

I call him Junior Achievement Garbage.

 

Normally I don't reply to your posts because they're so fucked, but this time I feel compelled to. Half the country isn't in QAnon, even among the most ardent of Trump supporters they're a lunatic fringe. And Trump's base is shrinking, along with Qanoners who have had a revelation: "Hey, this is all bullshit!"



The average Republican doesn't believe that Democrats and Hollywood celebrities are pedophiles and cannibals, drinking the blood of children for their "adrenochrome". QAnon is an aberration made up of gullible loonies with too much time on their hands. Problem is they've become a real threat. Whoever Q is, I bet he's having a lot of fun guiding these idiots.

 

His very own words ............ recorded for all to see & hear. Future history - if we in fact HAVE any as a "United States of America" - will be a gruesome judge of Trump.

Trump’s baseless election claims march GOP into ‘policy wasteland’

Trump’s baseless election claims march GOP into ‘policy wasteland’

excerpt:

"Ronald Reagan, the president who reinvigorated the Republican Party, promoted the GOP as the “party of new ideas” on his way to a landslide reelection in 1984.

In the post-Donald Trump era, judging by the fare inside the Orlando ballroom where the Conservative Political Action Conference unfolded, the GOP has evolved into the party of precisely two ideas: re-litigating Trump’s defeat and seething over the de-platforming of the former president and his supporters.

At the first major gathering of Republicans since Trump left office, conservatives spent the weekend clinging to the false claim that Trump’s presidency was stolen from him and raging over the perceived “cancel culture” of Big Tech and the left.

Nearly four months after the election and one month into Joe Biden’s presidency, the politics of grievance has become the near-singular organizing principle of the post-Trump GOP. And whether at CPAC or in statehouses across the country, policy prescriptions for restoring so-called voter integrity have emerged as the primary focus of the party’s energy."

Trump's speech at CPAC later today will be crucial. If he nails it he could be a factor over the next 4 years, including being the presumed candidate in the 2024 election. So here's hoping he doesn't nail it, though he's had plenty of time to prepare.

The decent thing for him to say would be, "Yes I'm running for re-election in 2024, and in the meantime please respect President Biden's call for unity. And QAnon, I'm not coming back on March 4, so please stand down." But I don't expect him to say that because he's not a decent person. I expect him to instigate trouble we'll have to deal with over the next 4 years.

 

Trump’s baseless election claims march GOP into ‘policy wasteland’

excerpt:

"It may come at a cost. As the Republican Party prepares for the midterm elections and the next presidential primary, it’s doing so as a shell of itself, having lost the White House and both houses of Congress in the span of four years. The last time it carried the popular vote in a presidential election was 2004, and America’s shifting demographics are making it increasingly unlikely that it will do so in 2024 — regardless of attempts to raise barriers to voting.

“It is a party that has been fashioned in the mold of Trump — Trump’s message, Trump’s tactics — and it is perfectly comfortable being a party that is defined by what it’s against,” said Kevin Madden, a former Mitt Romney adviser.

The difficulty for the party, Madden said, is “you become almost toxic as a party brand to larger, growing parts of the electorate. … The limitation of a message and a platform that’s just about disagreeing with the opposition is that it doesn’t speak to the broader concerns or anxieties of a big part of the electorate.”"

 

Trump's deep state.


Trump railed against the ‘deep state,’ but he also built his own. Biden is trying to dismantle it.

excerpt:

"There was nothing new about Trump’s attempts to convert political appointees to civil service employees, a process called “burrowing” by some government watchers; outgoing presidents have done it for years. (Civil service workers have protections that political appointees do not, and are harder for new administrations to fire.)

But good-government advocates, government watchdogs and experts on the federal bureaucracy, including one member of Congress, said that Trump’s "burrowers" were both more plentiful, and more dangerous, than usual.

Further, these experts pointed to moves by Trump, in the final days of his presidency, to place allies in unusual positions like little-known advisory boards with close ties to decision-makers at key agencies, and low-level unpaid jobs on prestigious boards. Those allies retain access to lawmakers, decision-making processes and information that could ultimately make its way back to the former president.

“Under the guise of stopping a 'deep state' coup that never existed, Trump appears to have tried to create a deep state of his own,” said David Rohde, the author of the 2020 book “In Deep: The FBI, the CIA, and the Truth about America's 'Deep State'” and the executive editor of NewYorker.com. Rohde called that effort, if it had proceeded unfettered, “an existential threat to democracy.”"

 

Trump railed against the ‘deep state,’ but he also built his own. Biden is trying to dismantle it.

excerpt:

"The Trump administration conversion that caused the most concern, the congressional aide and numerous experts said, was Michael Ellis, a Trump loyalist who, one day before Biden took office last month, was sworn in as the top lawyer for the National Security Agency.

On Jan. 20, Biden's first day in office, his administration placed Ellis on administrative leave while his transfer to the agency from his previous role at the Trump White House was reviewed by an inspector general for the Department of Defense.

Ellis, a former staffer for Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who went on to work in the Trump White House, was involved in the placement of a reconstructed transcript of Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy into a classified computer system, The Associated Press reported. That July 2019 call — on which Trump asked his counterpart to investigate Biden and his son Hunter — became the basis of Trump’s first impeachment trial. A National Security Council spokesman speaking on Ellis' behalf at the time declined to comment to the AP."

 

Why would s the media even covering CPAC? It just gives publicity for trump.

 

If there's an interest in it, the media will cover it.

 

Trump and his cronies were not interested in what Paul Manafort did, or what Rudy Giuliani did, or that the husband of a Republican Congressmember from Illinois did, or a close pal of Marjie Greene did, or child separations at the border, or Michael Flynn's contacts with Russia; but, they are interested in what Andrew Cuomo did all over a sudden.

 

While I would never want my supervisor saying to me the things Cuomo is alleged to have said to these women.....and would consider it completely inappropriate.....let's remember that the man has not (yet) been accused of touching them or forcing them to engage in a sexual action. That's a hell of a lot different than a boss using his/her position to compel a subordinate to submit to unwanted sex.

Naturally, the Republicans are bound to ignore the distinction and categorize Cuomo as a rapist. Politics has little to do with justice.

 

But it's perfectly fine for Trump to do worse...
