The Donald Trump Score Card

It's inspiring that you haven't worked out how to quote yet

 

2024 election: Trump campaign asks supporters if the President should run - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"The legal fine print on the donation page, which says Trump is raising money for the US Senate runoff elections in Georgia, shows that 75% of the funds donated up to $5,000 will go to Save America, a new Trump fundraising leadership PAC launched after the election. Save America could become an avenue for Trump to continue funding political operations as he weighs a presidential bid in 2024.

It's part of why the Trump campaign has blitzed supporters with so many solicitations. Since 11 p.m. ET on Election Day, the Trump campaign has sent at least 498 fundraising emails and 170 text messages.

The rules on spending by leadership PACs are far more relaxed than those for campaign committees and do not restrict politicians from using donors' funds for personal expenses -- a use forbidden in a presidential campaign account.

So far, it's been a lucrative effort -- the campaign had raised more than $207 million since Election Day amid Trump's baseless election fraud claims as of December 4."

 

As of November 2020, COVID-19 deaths are about 8 times higher in predominantly non-white counties in the U.S. compared to predominantly white counties.

Trump has avoided talking about the deaths altogether, let alone how non-white counties have had a disproportionately high death rate.

Trump snubbed such groups by saying that the coronavirus affects just about nobody. A large fraction of the 'nobodies' are the non-white populations. Trump performed poorly with such groups in the 2020 election which he attributed to alleged voter fraud.

Forcing a 'pledge of allegiance to Trump' vote on the Senate floor on Jan. 6 could result in Trump bashing Republican senators who voted to not support his desire to overthrow the election. It could damage the ability of Republicans to maintain control over the Senate in the 2022 election, assuming they even maintain control of it in 2021 which is contingent upon two runoff elections in Georgia on Jan. 5.


Defying Trump, McConnell Seeks to Squelch Bid to Overturn the Election

excerpt:

"A small group of House members, led by Representative Mo Brooks of Alabama, plans to use a constitutional process to object to the inclusion of five key battleground states that day. There is almost no chance they will succeed. But if they could persuade at least one senator to join them, they could force a vote on the matter, transforming a typically perfunctory session into a bitter last stand for Mr. Trump.

So far, no senator has committed to joining them. In seeking to prevent anyone from doing so, Mr. McConnell argued that a challenge would force senators to go on the record either defying Mr. Trump or rejecting the will of the voters, potentially harming those running for election in 2022.

He dispatched his top deputy, Senator John Thune of South Dakota, to lobby lawmakers one by one.

The remarks were a decisive shift for Mr. McConnell. They came only after members of his leadership team in the Senate — and even the chamber’s chaplain — began softening the ground by congratulating Mr. Biden on Monday evening and Tuesday morning."

 

Defying Trump, McConnell Seeks to Squelch Bid to Overturn the Election

excerpt:

"Polls suggest a clear majority of Republicans believe Mr. Trump’s fabrication that the election was fraudulent, and they are likely to follow the president’s words, not those of Mr. McConnell. Meanwhile, many of the president’s allies in the House continue to support his challenges to the results, with more than 60 percent of them signing on last week to a legal brief endorsing the failed effort by Texas to overturn results in key battleground states. The House’s top leaders were mostly silent on the question on Tuesday, and their aides did not respond to questions about Mr. Biden’s victory.

Mr. Trump himself showed no signs of backing down, repeating his false allegations on Twitter just after Mr. McConnell spoke: “tremendous evidence pouring in on voter fraud.” Mr. Trump also shared a news article about Mr. Brooks’s efforts, raising the possibility that he could begin pressuring members of the party to join in, stoking an even bigger fight in the weeks ahead."

 

That's the mark of a charlatan.

 

They haven't paid the Black majority counties in Wisconsin for their recount either. Typical Trump dishonesty, huh?

 

There has been a legal issue on the backburner for a couple of years, since Robert Mueller was prevented from charging Trump with a crime. You see, Rod Rosenstein ordered Mueller to not carry out a National Security Investigation against Trump. So, the legal strategy to protect Trump has now surfaced again. Barr has just quit and may face charges himself for obstructing an investigation into Trump. Before the impeachment of Trump, the Inspector General for the Intel community made a criminal probe request with the justice department. Barr and Rosenstein blacked it to protect Trump. In 35 days, that's going to change. There is enough evidence to charge Trump criminally in that matter. After Barr quit, Jeffery Rosen is to act as AG for these 35 days. All he's going to do is carry coffee for Trump, then be replaced by Joe Biden. Trump is so desperate, he's asking for an independent council to investigate Hunter Biden. That's the guy who did not want to be investigated, huh?

 

After he took office, one of the first things Trump did was to allow meat companies to use beef by products previously designated for dog food or farm land fertilization to be mixed in with hamburger. They called that undesired meat scraps "Pink Slime" because it did look like that. Now on his way out, Trump is allowing meat companies to use GMO pigs for a meat source. These products will be ground up and sold in the Midwest Trump Country, assuming the ploy would garner more hog meat eater votes for Trump followers.

 

You just can't make this stuff up its too bizarre .................

Ex-Houston Police Officer Charged In Attack Over Bogus Election Fraud Plot

An ex-captain in the Houston Police Department was arrested Tuesday for allegedly running a man off the road and assaulting him in an attempt to prove a bizarre voter-fraud conspiracy pushed by a right-wing organization.

The suspect, Mark Anthony Aguirre, told police he was part of a group of private citizens investigating claims of the massive fraud allegedly funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and involving election ballots forged by Hispanic children. He said the plot was underway in Harris County, Texas, prior to the Nov. 3 election...lol...

 

I don’t know if the Democrats will take over the senate next year. I think there is a better chance in 2022.

10 Ways the Trump Administration Has Failed Rural America (and 10 Ways To Overcome It) - Center for American Progress

excerpt:

"6. Sacrificing small and medium farms in his trade wars

Despite Trump’s promise to negotiate stronger trade deals with China, Mexico, and Canada to the benefit of farmers, his erratic approach to trade policy and the retaliatory tariffs that have been levied in response have deeply wounded the agriculture sector. In the first year of the United States’ trade war with China, U.S. exports to China declined from $23 billion to $15 billion. In Iowa alone, the damage to corn, soybean, and hog markets was estimated at almost $1.7 billion. Between September 2018 and September 2019, farm bankruptcy filings rose 24 percent nationally. The long-run effects of the trade war on America’s competitiveness in the world market may continue to cost the agriculture sector for years to come.

While national net farm income was up between 2018 and 2019, this largely came as a result of the generous trade bailouts meted out by the Commodity Credit Corporation, the public entity responsible for farm payments and other price support programs. These trade war mitigation payments went primarily to the largest farms, while small and medium farms were left to fend for themselves. Meanwhile, the USDA signed contracts to purchase a total of $62.4 million in pork products from JBS, a Brazilian meatpacking company that is one of the four that dominates the U.S. hog market."

 

Trump asking about special prosecutor for Hunter Biden

excerpt:

"Under federal regulations, a special counsel can be fired only by the attorney general and for specific reasons such as misconduct, dereliction of duty or conflict of interest -- reasons that must be spelled out in writing. Appointing a special counsel for the Hunter Biden probe would also signal a more prolonged and complicated investigation than the current inquiry, so far largely centered on his taxes. A subpoena seeking documents from the younger Biden asked for information related to more than two dozen entities, including Ukraine gas company Burisma.

Either way, the probe is complicating Joe Biden’s pick for attorney general, upon whose shoulders this probe would land. Any nominee for attorney general is likely to face a mountain of questions at a confirmation hearing about how they would oversee the probe.

It could be that Rosen is left in the position for a few weeks after Biden is sworn in on Jan. 20. If Trump doesn’t fire him, that is."

 

Trump is floating around the idea that on inauguration day he simply won’t leave the white house.

God I hope that happens so he can be escorted out of the white house by US Marshalls

 

Is he going to lock himself in the bunker?

 

Bunker Boy

 

Bunker perhaps , but after everything that’s happened so far this year, It’s just another day in Crazytown

 

I heard that also, and it would great if he gets escorted out.
