The Donald Trump Score Card

Gableman wants the 2020 WI election decertified (which is impossible anyway) based on such a murky personal claim.

 

In addition to Trump's legitimate loss, down-ballot state and local elections would need to be decertified also based on the type of claim Gableman is making.

No Trump endorsement for McSwain.

Trump blew up on him for not pursuing investigations of alleged 'massive fraud' in 2020 PA election.

Trump legitimately lost PA in 2020 by 81,000 votes.


Donald Trump attacks 'coward' Bill McSwain in Pennsylvania governor's race

excerpt:

"One person in Pennsylvania who I will not be endorsing is Bill McSwain for Governor," Trump said. "He was the U.S. Attorney who did absolutely nothing on the massive Election Fraud that took place in Philadelphia and throughout the commonwealth."

McSwain was appointed by Trump in 2017 to serve as the top prosecutor for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. McSwain had been angling at a Trump endorsement in the 2022 governor's race for months, even writing a letter to the former president last summer in which he claimed he was silenced by the orders of then-U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr."

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON (AP) — An Arkansas man photographed with his feet on a desk in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot has rejected a plea deal over the federal charges against him, attorneys said Tuesday.

An attorney for Richard Barnett said during a pretrial teleconference hearing that the 61-year-old Gravette man was turning down an offer by the government to plead guilty to one charge in his case, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.

Barnett has pleaded not guilty to federal charges including entering and remaining in a restricted building with a dangerous weapon, theft of government property and disorderly conduct.

Prosecutor Mary L. Dohrmann said that under the rejected agreement, Barnett would have pleaded guilty to obstruction of an official proceeding while six other charges would have been dismissed, the newspaper reported.

Joseph McBride, Barnett's attorney, called the offer unreasonable and cited the sentencing guideline of 70 to 87 months for the charge, the newspaper reported. McBride also cited Barnett's age as a factor."

 

Trump says he gets along well with Putin.

Putin and Trump:have common attributes: immersion in a 'great again' fantasy of restoring a fatherland and an inability to admit mistakes.

Their mistakes stem from their fantasies and incompetence.


Opinion | Putin Has No Good Way Out, and That Really Scares Me

excerpt:

"Why not? Because Putin surely knows that “the Russian national tradition is unforgiving of military setbacks,” observed Leon Aron, a Russia expert at the American Enterprise Institute, who is writing a book about Putin’s road to Ukraine.

“Virtually every major defeat has resulted in radical change,” added Aron, writing in The Washington Post. “The Crimean War (1853-1856) precipitated Emperor Alexander II’s liberal revolution from above. The Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) brought about the First Russian Revolution. The catastrophe of World War I resulted in Emperor Nicholas II’s abdication and the Bolshevik Revolution. And the war in Afghanistan became a key factor in Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev’s reforms.” Also, retreating from Cuba contributed significantly to Nikita Khrushchev’s removal two years later.

In the coming weeks it will become more and more obvious that our biggest problem with Putin in Ukraine is that he will refuse to lose early and small, and the only other outcome is that he will lose big and late. But because this is solely his war and he cannot admit defeat, he could keep doubling down in Ukraine until … until he contemplates using a nuclear weapon."

‘A plot to destroy democracy’: civil rights group raises alarm at threats to US elections

excerpt:

"It focuses on four main tactics that it says are used in this effort: gerrymandering, voter suppression, misinformation and intimidation.

In 2021 alone, 20 states have leveraged census data to redraw congressional maps, it noted. The new maps proposed by Republican state lawmakers “are no more than modern-day gerrymandering that strips voting power away from communities with Black and brown voters”, the report said.

It also listed 34 laws passed in 19 states between January 1 and December 7 2021 that make it more difficult for people to vote.

In addition to shortening the window to apply and deliver mail ballots, those laws limit absentee voting lists, restrict assistance in returning a voter’s mail ballot, reduce the availability of mail ballot drop boxes, and increase barriers for voters with disabilities, among other restrictions.

“The burden of these laws – strict photo ID requirements, the elimination or restriction of Sunday voting, voting by mail and early voting, and the closing of polling locations – overwhelmingly falls on Black voters,” Marc Morial, president and CEO of NUL, said in the report.

“Since the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, the United States has seen a steady rise in disenfranchisement practices giving one party an edge over the other. But never before has the nation seen such an insidious and coordinated campaign to obliterate the very principle of ‘one person, one vote’ from the political process.”"

excerpt:

"Describing Trump as a man without scruples or integrity, defense attorney Samuel Shamansky said the former president engaged in a “sinister” plot to encourage Thompson and other supporters to “do his dirty work.”

“It’s Donald Trump himself spewing the lies and using his position to authorize this assault,” Shamansky told jurors Tuesday during the trial's opening statements.

Justice Department prosecutor Jennifer Rozzoni said Thompson knew he was breaking the law that day.

“He chose to be a part of the mayhem and chaos,” she said.

Thompson's lawyer sought subpoenas to call Trump and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani as witnesses at his trial this week. A judge rejected that request but ruled that jurors can hear recordings of speeches that Trump and Giuliani delivered at a rally before the riot.

Thompson’s jury trial is the third among hundreds of Capitol riot prosecutions. The first two ended with jurors convicting both defendants on all counts with which they were charged."

 

What Happened?: The 2020 election confirmed that Ohio is no longer a swing state.

excerpt:

"Ohio used to matter – a lot – in presidential elections. In the 2004 election, Ohio was the most-contested state. Presidential candidates George W. Bush and John Kerry visited the state 41 times and invested tens of millions of dollars in winning the state’s 20 electoral votes. In 2008, Barack Obama and John McCain visited the state 50 times and spent almost $50 million in advertising. Yet this era as a perennial swing state is gone: despite narrowly voting for winning candidates from 1992 to 2012, The Buckeye State gave Donald Trump an 8-point win in both 2016 and 2020. Has Ohio abandoned its swing-state status?

There is ample reason to suspect this is the case. First, the Democratic coalition that even as recently as 2012 propelled Obama’s re-election victory has changed, not just in Ohio but around the country. As a consequence, this new coalition has proven much less competitive in Ohio. Second, Ohio’s own changing demographics suggest that Democrats cannot rely on a “base-first” electoral strategy; to win back the state in 2024, Joe Biden will need to appeal to two-time Donald Trump voters. Yet even if Democrats pursue these voters, there is some evidence that a post-industrial Ohio will more closely resemble its long-conservative neighbor Indiana, than its swing-state neighbors Pennsylvania or Michigan, in the elections to come."

 

Trump had a comfortable 8% popular vote win margin in Ohio in 2016 and 2020.

 

Relative to its population, Ohio has a strong contingent of Capitol rioters who have been charged, on par with FL and TX. Most are from rural areas of Ohio. The outskirts of Columbus has been a hot spot for Trump rioters.

 

Obama won Ohio by about 4.5% and 3% in 2008 and 2012, respectively.

 

Mark Meadows removed from NC voter roll amid voter fraud investigation

excerpt:

"ASHEVILLE - Mark Meadows has been removed from North Carolina's voter rolls, a move made as the State Bureau of Investigation continues a probe into allegations the former White House Chief of Staff committed election fraud.

Macon County Board of Elections Director Melanie Thibault confirmed April 12 that she had removed Meadows the prior day from the county's active voter list.

Thibault said she consulted N.C. Board of Elections staff in Raleigh after finding records that Meadows was registered both in Virginia and North Carolina.

"What I found was that he was also registered in the state of Virginia. And he voted in a 2021 election. The last election he voted in Macon County was in 2020," she said."

 

Meadows seems to have gone quiet on this issue.

Ginni Thomas, wife of U.S. Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, has been quiet since the information went public about her ongoing visits to the White House where she pestered high officials like Meadows in the Trump administration and promoted fringe truther narratives related to the 2020 election.

 

Boy, must make for some interesting dinner conversation at the Thomas household.
