The Donald Trump Score Card

That's what I think too. Now they will use the attack on the Capitol as a unification of all the baby Klans, including Alt-Right, Q-Anon, Patriot Prayer. Oath Keepers, and all the other idiots. Their main belief is America is and should be a White Christian Nation. All other issues are just fluff and window dressing.

 

Attack on Capitol was the beginning of an American insurgency, counterterrorism experts warn

excerpt:

"With President Trump only days away from an unceremonious departure from the White House, the vision of a mob desecrating the citadel of democracy felt for many observers like the end of a shameful period of norm breaking and tradition smashing. But for counterterrorism experts who have spent the two decades since the 9/11 terrorist attacks closely studying and fighting violent extremist groups overseas, the spectacle looked like something altogether different: the likely birthing of a violent American insurgency.

Retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal was formerly the head of Joint Special Operations Command in Iraq and the commander of all U.S. and allied troops fighting the Taliban and al-Qaida in Afghanistan. “I did see a similar dynamic in the evolution of al-Qaida in Iraq, where a whole generation of angry Arab youth with very poor prospects followed a powerful leader who promised to take them back in time to a better place, and he led them to embrace an ideology that justified their violence. This is now happening in America,” McChrystal told Yahoo News."

 

Attack on Capitol was the beginning of an American insurgency, counterterrorism experts warn

excerpt:

"Extremist movements also aggressively recruit from law enforcement and military communities to develop their hard power, a common tactic perfected by the Islamic State, whose close alliance with disaffected Baathist military officers enabled it to launch a military-style juggernaut in 2014 that captured a third of Iraq and Syria for its Islamist “caliphate.”

The participation of former military members in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was revealed in the past week with the arrest of retired Air Force Lt. Col. Larry Rendall Brock Jr., who was photographed wearing military-style tactical gear and brandishing zip-tie handcuffs inside the Capitol, and by the death of military veteran Ashli Babbitt, who was shot by police during the melee. The U.S. Army is reportedly investigating 25 people who participated in the attempted putsch, some of whom may be active-duty military. Meanwhile, two off-duty Virginia police officers, Jacob Fracker and Thomas Robertson of the Rocky Mount Police Department, were also arrested on charges of illegally storming the Capitol."

 

That's what I'm seeing here too: A KLAN KALIPHATE

 

Trump’s Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany Leaves White House a Few Days Early

excerpt:

"McEnany took on the job of press secretary in April from Stephanie Grisham, who served for nine months and didn’t hold a single news conference. McEnany had been a staunch defender of Trump on cable news before joining him in the White House."

 

Trump finishes with worst first term approval rating ever - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"It means Trump will be the first president in the polling era to end his first term with an approval of below 40%, the first with a disapproval rating north of 50% and the first with a negative net (approval - disapproval) rating.

Trump has even seen a decline among his once heralded base. His approval rating with Republicans has dropped into the mid-high 70s in the average poll taken over the last week. It's usually in the high 80s to mid-90s. It was 95% in the general election exit poll."

 

US Capitol riot: police have long history of aiding neo-Nazis and extremists

excerpt:

"For years, domestic terrorism researchers have warned that there are police departments in every region of America counting white supremacist extremists and neo-Nazi sympathizers among their ranks.

To these experts, and the activists who have been targeted by law enforcement officers in past years, it came as no surprise that police officers were part of the mob that stormed the US Capitol on 6 January. In fact, the acceptance of far-right beliefs among law enforcement, they say, helped lay the groundwork for the extraordinary attacks in the American capital.

“I’ve been trying to ring the alarm since before Donald Trump was elected,” said Cedric O’Bannon, a journalist and activist who was stabbed at a 2016 neo-Nazi rally in Sacramento and was later targeted by the investigating officer. “It’s nothing new. We’ve seen it getting worse and worse. The law enforcement collusion with white nationalists is clear,” he said."

 

US Capitol riot: police have long history of aiding neo-Nazis and extremists

excerpt:

"So far, several on-duty Capitol police officers have been suspended for allegedly supporting rioters, and two off-duty Virginia officers were arrested after boasting on social media about breaching the Capitol. A Houston officer caught inside the building has since resigned, and the police departments of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Philadelphia and other cities are investigating whether their employees attended.

“These are people who we give guns to, who get specialized training, who have access to sensitive information,” said Vida B Johnson, Georgetown University law professor and expert on policing, “and they took part in a plan to undo the votes for the democratically elected president.”"

 

Seems like the kind of guy who I would want operating on my brain. . . . . Not

 

GOP in AZ will vote on a measure to censure Governor Ducey and others.

Apparently, the GOP is still upset that Ducey put his phone on silent when Trump called him to try to obstruct him while he was signing the paper that certified the AZ electoral votes that legitimately went to Biden.


Trump blows up the Arizona GOP on his way out

excerpt:

"President Donald Trump’s fingerprints are on all of it, yet the state party will likely pass a resolution next week to officially “support & thank” the president. It’ll also vote on measures to censure three prominent Republicans who were deemed insufficiently beholden to Trump: Gov. Doug Ducey, former Sen. Jeff Flake and Cindy McCain, the wife of the late senator."

 

Trump’s Shambolic Empire Faces Long Odds for One More Comeback

excerpt:

"The Trump Organization, run by sons Eric and Don Jr., was struggling with the devastating consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic even before their father incited a raid on Congress. Efforts to sell his Washington hotel were shelved, his office buildings were losing value amid a glut of space in Manhattan, and his golf courses were facing the reality that younger generations aren’t so interested.

Trump entered office worth $3 billion. Despite soaring stock prices and his own tax cuts, he will leave about $500 million poorer, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

His buildings are saddled with more than $1 billion in debt, most of it coming due in the next three years and more than a third of it personally guaranteed. Refinancing would mean finding lenders and corporations willing to work with history’s only twice-impeached ex-president.

“Nothing like this has ever happened to him,” said Barbara Res, who was an executive in Trump’s company for years. “Will he come back? My gut tells me yes, because he always comes back. But he won’t come back the same.”"

 

Bullshit

 

Online far-right movements fracture in wake of Capitol riot over 'gullible' QAnon believers

 

Wait... What?

 

I feel like there must be something better to do than to rehash the Trump presidency; particularly considering its lack of merit... let's all roll our eyes together.*

 

What precisely did you like about Donald Trump (& do notice that's past tense)>?

 

Trump, the loser, who finally had to face reality.



Donald Trump is a loser

excerpt:

"The legitimacy of Biden’s win is undeniable, given that it follows the most heavily and transparently monitored election in modern history. Trump’s charges of voter fraud carry a burden of proof that ordinarily he can get around. His everyday lies are not cross-examined. They just persist, with some of us knowing that they’re lies, and the rest of the country either pretending otherwise or actually believing them. This time, however, he needs to furnish actual proof in order to continue being president, and he can’t."

 

If it was a backlash, why did they wait six months?

Yes, I do. Those hillbillies have to get back making meth.

 

Being a narcissist, trump has never accepted that people don’t like him, and even if he accepted it he couldn’t understand why.
