The Donald Trump Score Card

That sounds interesting. I’m going to see if I can stream that and watch it.

 

Bannon defends Trump and the ultra-billionaires at Mar-a-Lago.


ABC host turns tables on Bannon: Trump favors billionaires over 'forgotten men and women'

excerpt:

"That doesn't seem like the forgotten men and women that Trump talked about last time," the ABC News host continued. "Are you surprised to see that?"

"I am not," Bannon insisted. "They're there as supplicants. They're not there as the oligarchs."

 

We need ALL their water and most of their snow!

 

We should all wear BLACK tomorrow. To honor Martin Luther King and his Wife.

 

Rubio takes defeatist stance on Ukraine war, implying Ukraine will have to give up its land.

Rubio is Trump's nominee to be Secretary of State. Trump used to call him 'Little Marco'.


Rubio, Trump's Pick For Secretary Of State, Says Ukraine Must Make Concessions

excerpt:

“There's no way Ukraine is also going to push these people [Russian forces] all the way back to where they were on the eve of the invasion just given the size dynamic,” Republican Senator Marco Rubio told lawmakers during his Senate confirmation hearing on January 15.

 

Foreign leaders and dignitaries expected to attend Trump's inauguration or related events.

Meloni of Italy appears to be the only head of state who will actually attend Trump's inauguration oath event. She's known for her neo-fascist views.

Milei of Argentina will be attending one of the inaugural balls.

Former Georgia President Salome Zourabichvili will attend the oath ceremony.


Trump's inauguration will be first attended by foreign leaders

 

Fetterman was elected to challenge convention. Now, he's challenging his fellow Democrats

excerpt:

"Fetterman has broken with his party on some policy matters and warmed to President-elect Donald Trump, a man he bashed on the 2024 campaign trail as a “felon” who is “obsessed with revenge.” Fetterman later became the first Senate Democrat to meet with Trump since the election."

 

Blitzkrieg of executive orders by Trump on first day.

Two involve declaring national emergencies.


Trump likely to sign executive orders at Capitol, then at Capital One Arena, sources say

excerpt:

"They include the following, the sources said:

Declaring a national emergency on the U.S.-Mexico border

Rescinding any DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) or gender-related directives from the Biden administration

Designate cartels as foreign terrorist organizations

Repeal rules on electric vehicles

Offset limits for offshore drilling on federal land

Order troops to help build more infrastructure at the border

Relaunch the Remain in Mexico policy

Declare a national emergency related to energy"

 

Let the ass kissing begin in earnest!

 

Anyone notice how conspicuously he avoided putting his left hand on the Bible while being sworn in? His (trophy) wife was holding it right there.

The equivalent to crossing one’s fingers while making a promise. Either that or he was afraid of getting electrocuted.

 

Don't forget enriching himself further. And getting rid of regulations that protect ordinary citizens from being screwed by corporations.

 

Melania couldn’t even applaud since she was holding a stack of books.

Donald Trump Is Deliriously Happy. The Resistance Is Embarassed. Welcome to Trump 2.0.

excerpt:

"Sometime in his first days or weeks as president, Donald Trump will do something unspeakable—send Navy SEALs into Jutland, or arrest the nation’s pasteurizers, or some other shit. Whatever he does will display that familiar Trumpian flair, that mixture of showmanship, stupidity, and malevolent glee that characterizes his every act."

 

Donald Trump Is Deliriously Happy. The Resistance Is Embarassed. Welcome to Trump 2.0.

excerpt:

"Remember four years ago? We were all listening to “Drivers License.” Nomadland fever was sweeping the nation. Everyone was about to get vaccinated. (Remember how we’d call it “the jab”—“Did you get the jab yet?”) And Donald Trump was on his way out of the White House. He was a footnote, a one-term president, a hiccup in the arc of history—the guy people would remember, 50 years from now, with a collective chuckle and shake of the head. That sure was the last gasp of the 20th century, the future would say. They elected that fucking TV clown president!

Well, we were all wrong. (Maybe you weren’t wrong. Maybe you always knew he’d win again! I’ll stop using the royal we.) I was certainly wrong. I absolutely thought that cocky piece of shit was washed up: that the chickens were coming home to roost, and that his was a future of courtrooms, exorbitant fines, business failure, and maybe even—could I dare to dream?—a few months in a minimum-security prison."

 

Lindsey Graham upset at CBS for asking tough questions.


Lindsey Graham Berates CBS Host for Tough Questions: ‘Worry About Reporting the News Fairly’

excerpt:

When the CBS host asked Graham whether he would be asking Patel about his threats against journalists, the prominent senator accused the host of being unfair in her reporting.

“You shouldn’t worry about Kash Patel,” he said. “You should worry about reporting the news fairly, which you don’t do when it comes to everything Trump.”

 

Lindsey Graham Berates CBS Host for Tough Questions: ‘Worry About Reporting the News Fairly’

excerpt:

“I am ready to vote for Kash Patel, because you will never ask me the role he played in exposing the darkest moment of the FBI since J. Edgar Hoover,” he said, referring to the former FBI director whom critics accused of overreach.

“That’s why I trust him,” Graham added.

 

Get ready for the world’s first trillionaires

excerpt:

"The ranks of the billionaire class last year grew by just over 200 to nearly 2,770 people. Their wealth skyrocketed by $2.1 trillion — three times faster than the year before — to a total of $15 trillion. In the United States alone, where 816 billionaires reside, the net worth of this group soared by $1.4 trillion.

What’s more, if any of the 10 richest men lost 99% of his wealth, he’d still be a billionaire, Oxfam found.

Meanwhile, the number of people living in poverty is roughly the same as it was in 1990, according to the report, citing World Bank data."

 

Get ready for the world’s first trillionaires

excerpt:

"Five people are expected to amass at least $1 trillion in wealth within the next decade, if current trends continue, according to Oxfam’s annual inequality report, released Sunday. Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, currently the world’s richest person worth more than $430 billion, should cross the mark in just under five years."

 

Get ready for the world’s first trillionaires

excerpt:

"This year’s Oxfam report, titled Takers not Makers, also points out that more than one-third of billionaires’ wealth stems from inheritance. In 2023, more billionaires amassed their wealth through inheritance than through entrepreneurship for the first time. Plus, all of the 17 billionaires under 30 had their fortunes passed down to them.

This transfer of assets is aided by the fact that two-thirds of countries don’t tax inheritances to direct descendants, Riddell said. And in the United States, the estate tax has been gutted by tax cuts and strategies to dodge it."
