The Donald Trump Score Card

Georgia Senate passes bill to eliminate no-excuse absentee voting

excerpt:

"Senate Bill 241 would limit absentee voting to people 65 and older, those with a physical disability and people who will be out of town on Election Day — ending broad no-excuse absentee voting introduced by the Republican-led legislature in 2005. It would also require an ID for those who are able to vote absentee, among many other changes.

The bill passed by a vote of 29-20 and now goes to the House for more debate. Bills must get at least 29 votes for a majority in the 56-member Senate.

Several Republicans who could face tough reelection battles in quickly changing metro Atlanta districts were excused from the vote, including Sens. John Albers, Kay Kirkpatrick and Brian Strickland. Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, who has denounced efforts to limit who can vote absentee, refused to preside over the debate.

The bills are part of a push by Republicans to roll back voting access in Georgia after Democrats scored victories in the presidential election and two U.S. Senate runoffs. Many of the proposals being floated target absentee voting after former President Donald Trump repeatedly made false claims about fraud in mail voting."

 

Republicans considering more than 100 bills to restrict voting rights

excerpt:

"The restrictions come on the heels of an election in which there was record turnout and Democrat and Republican election officials alike said there was no evidence of widespread wrongdoing or fraud. There were recounts, audits and lawsuits across many states to back up those assurances. Federal and state officials called the election “the most secure in American history”.

Myrna Pérez, director of the voting rights and elections program at the Brennan Center, said the surge in anti-voting legislation was “countersensical” given that there were Republican and Democratic wins in key races across the country.

“The volume of anti-voter legislation is certainly revealing that a nerve was struck,” she told me. “There are certainly people who are sensitive to the idea of more progress … It ultimately comes down to an anxiety over the browning of America and people in power are afraid of losing their position.”"

 

So... May as well make it harder for people to vote.... Seems legit.

 

Republicans considering more than 100 bills to restrict voting rights

excerpt:

"Pennsylvania has 14 pending proposals for new voter restrictions, the most in the country. It’s followed by New Hampshire (11), Missouri (9), and Mississippi, New Jersey and Texas (8)"

 

PA passed no-excuse absentee voting in late 2019. Now, in 2021, PA has the highest number of pending proposals in the country to restrict voting access.



Trump politicized mail-in voting in 2020, but it came to PA with strong Republican support
The state law that legalized no-excuse mail-in voting was passed before COVID-19 as a compromise between Democrats and Republicans in Harrisburg. Then the world changed.

Trump politicized mail-in voting in 2020, but PA Republicans supported expanding it

excerpt:

"“Everybody thought this was a good idea — a great idea, in fact — until Trump spoke out against it,” said Joe Mistick, a law professor at Duquesne and local political commentator.

Act 77, the Pennsylvania law that legalized no-excuse mail-in voting, came together in 2019 as a compromise between the Democratic and Republican parties. Republicans achieved their goal of abolishing straight-ticket voting, which Democrats agreed to in order to obtain the vote-by-mail expansion.

Mistick said the law made Pennsylvania “a symbol, an example of bipartisanship, of how the two parties can come together for the good of the franchise and set aside their political differences.”

A lot has changed since then.

Republicans at the highest levels of government, led by Donald Trump, are denouncing a policy Pennsylvania Republicans overwhelmingly approved just over a year ago."

 

Well, they didn't expect Democrats to use those policies... because... Ummmm....

 

The RNC told the ex-president's lawyer that it "has every right to refer to public figures as it engages in core, First Amendment-protected political speech."
RNC says it has the right to use Trump's name and likeness for fundraising

 

Trump Says He Would Be a Much Better Princess Than Meghan Markle

 

2/10/20....“Looks like by April, you know in theory when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”

2/25/20....“CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
(note: They're doing a great job handling a hoax?)

3/13/20....“I don’t take responsibility at all.”

5/8/20....“This is going to go away without a vaccine. It is going to go away. We are not going to see it again.”

 

You forgot this one:

3/16/20....“I’d rate it a 10,” Trump said at a White House press briefing Monday when asked by a reporter how he would rate his response to the pandemic.

 

Judge won't release 'QAnon shaman' Jake Angeli who raided U.S. Capitol

 

Good!! That’s what he gets for walking around looking like a complete jackass.
These fools storm the capital brave and bold, but don’t want to own up to it when it comes to facing legal actions. “HEY ASSHOLES, WE ALL SAW YOU ON NATIONAL TV!!!”

 

These idiots who raided the Capitol truly thought there would be no consequences, because after all, they were actually overthrowing the government and keeping Trump in office! A mob of morons! An embarrassment to the country! Proof that our education system needs a massive overhaul!

 

I agree.
Here is the thing. Some teachers don’t care about teaching they are just in it for the perks, and some parents don’t consider having an education important.

 

That guy up front with arms out sure looks like that pillow fucker. He has a wire sticking out of his trousers like off an electronic device?

 

And another thing.
Why don’t these fucking republicans just come out and admit they don’t want minorities to vote.
Jimmy Carter is ‘disheartened, saddened and angry’ by the G.O.P. push to curb voting rights in Georgia.

 

They are empowered by delusional minorities that identify as republicans and support the GoP. It’s complicated....

 

Trump never conceded the election to Biden.

Trump thinks that the facts are on his side after losing about 60 court cases related to the election, losing the popular vote by 7 million, and losing the Electoral College by 74 votes (his win margin in 2016 which he said was a landslide victory).


Trump says there will be an orderly transition to Biden presidency

excerpt:

“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th,” Trump said in a statement posted on Twitter by White House spokesman Dan Scavino.

 

It's time they got off their butts and voted. That is primary reason Lindsay Graham got back in office. Even against a black Democrat. How's that working for them?

 

I agree. What better motivation is there to vote than to vote out the guy who stabs you in the back.
