Forty fucking percent of the population claiming Donald Duck has done a good job in his final days in office, is fucking insane, and not remotely like politics, unless you are a huge fan of the Hatfield's and McCoys.
Legal scholars, including at Federalist Society, say Trump can be convicted excerpt: "Former President Donald Trump can be convicted in an impeachment trial for his role in inciting the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6 even though he is no longer in office, a bipartisan group of constitutional law scholars wrote in a letter Thursday. “We differ from one another in our politics, and we also differ from one another on issues of constitutional interpretation,” wrote the signatories, which include the co-founder and other members of the conservative Federalist Society legal group. “But despite our differences, our carefully considered views of the law lead all of us to agree that the Constitution permits the impeachment, conviction, and disqualification of former officers, including presidents.” More than 150 legal scholars signed on to the letter, which was obtained by POLITICO. They include Steven Calabresi, the co-founder of the Federalist Society; Charles Fried, who served as solicitor general under Ronald Reagan and is now an adviser to the Harvard chapter of the Federalist Society; Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University and adjunct scholar at the libertarian Cato Institute; and Brian Kalt, a law professor at Michigan State University and leading scholar on the specific question of whether former officials can be impeached."
Next they will promise to uphold the law so long as the grass is green and the sky is blue. Academics could not find their own ass with both hands, or a quarter of their fucking students would not still insist the sun revolves around the earth. The only fucking reason Donald Duck wasn't thrown in jail decades ago, is because money is the only thing left running the fucking country!
Trump business revenues plunged during pandemic, final disclosure reveals excerpt: "Former President Donald Trump’s business empire lost significant revenue during the pandemic, as the virus and the failed response to it cost his own interests money, according to a financial disclosure document released after he left office Wednesday. Most of his core golf and hotel properties saw steep declines as the virus and lockdown restrictions kept consumers home and suspended discretionary travel. Compared to his disclosure from the year prior, revenues at the Trump National Doral Miami golf course in Florida declined from $77 million to $44 million. Trump's Turnberry golf club in Scotland saw revenues fall from $25 million to just under $10 million."
Fauci talks 'liberating feeling' serving under Biden versus Trump - CNNPolitics excerpt: "When Dr. Anthony Fauci returned to the White House briefing room on Thursday, he did so without the sour reality of a hostile president watching him from feet away in the Oval Office. "I can tell you, I take no pleasure at all in being in a situation of contradicting the President," Fauci told the room, appearing nonetheless to take some pleasure in no longer having to dance around President Donald Trump's turbulent ego. "The idea that you can get up here and talk about what you know, what the evidence, what the science is -- let the science speak," he added. "It is somewhat of a liberating feeling.""
FBI Offers $75,000 Reward For Capitol Pipe Bomb Suspect excerpt: "The Federal Bureau of Investigation increased to $75,000 its reward Thursday for help in identifying the person who placed two pipe bombs during the January 6 assault on the US Capitol. The person, seen in a security video wearing a loose grey hoodie and black gloves, with face covered by a coronavirus mask, is believed to have planted the bombs at the offices of the Democratic and Republican parties near the Capitol. The bombs did not explode but were seen as an indication of the possible planning and seriousness of the insurrectionary threat to the US legislature by supporters of then-president Donald Trump. Some analysts, including the former head of the Capitol Police, suspect the bombs may have been designed as an intentional diversion to draw off security forces so that the attackers could force their way into the Capitol building."
FBI Offers $75,000 Reward For Capitol Pipe Bomb Suspect excerpt: "The federal government has charged 117 people involved in the assault so far, according to a count by the George Washington University Program on Extremism. Many of them have been identified through social media postings, videos they and others took of the assault and uploaded for the public to see, and tips from independent researchers focused on far-right extremism. According to the Program on Extremism's data, those charged so far include 102 men and 15 women, and they came from 35 states and Washington. Most have been initially charged with illegally entering the Capitol and violent behavior, but some have been hit with assault and other charges. But in a sign that charges for some could become more serious, on Tuesday three people were charged together for conspiracy in the attack."
What do you know, it is possible to teach an academic new tricks, like how to make damned sure their own students are not going to kill them. Maybe he'll catch on that Covid is the least of his problems.
Digital fingerprints are identifying Capitol rioters Darrell M. West January 19, 2021 Digital fingerprints are identifying Capitol rioters excerpt: "A number of individuals have been identified through facial recognition software and crowd-sourcing of video images. Facial recognition allows investigators in a criminal inquiry to attach names to specific pictures. According to Hoan Ton-That of facial recognition firm Clearview, “We have over 3 billion photos that we indexed from the public internet.” That library as well as other image sources available to law enforcement allowed the FBI quickly to identify a number of perpetrators and charge them with violence and vandalism. One suspect was surprised law enforcement was able to identify him so quickly after posting an Instagram photo of Pelosi’s office complaining the picture “was up for only an hour.”"
Repairing Trump's damage to VOA. Biden cleans house at VOA after revolt over Trump changes excerpt: "Pack, who appointed all three of those terminated on Thursday, resigned just hours after Biden was inaugurated. Soon after his resignation, the Biden White House announced that a veteran VOA journalist, Kelu Chao, would head USAGM on an interim basis. Pack created a furor when he took over the agency last year and fired the boards of all the outlets under his control along with the leadership of the individual broadcast networks. The actions were criticized as threatening the broadcasters’ prized editorial independence. The moves raised fears that Pack, a conservative filmmaker and former associate of Trump’s onetime political strategist Steve Bannon, intended to turn venerable U.S. media outlets into pro-Trump propaganda machines. His further actions did little to ease those concerns. Indeed, just on Tuesday he appointed new conservative members to the boards of Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks."
Trump-lover arrested for threatening to shoot anyone wearing a face covering. Trump-loving bus driver threatened to shoot 'anyone wearing a mask' after DC journey: Police Travis Gettys January 21, 2021 Trump-loving bus driver threatened to shoot 'anyone wearing a mask' after DC journey: Police excerpt: "The 49-year-old Ward was interviewed earlier this month as he began a journey across the country in a bus with "Trump won! Follow me to D.C." painted on the side, saying he was spurred into action by the now-former president before the vehicle's remodel was completed. "I think it's blatantly obvious that 'China Joe' stole this election, and Trump will be the president the next four years," Ward told the TV station during a stop in a Redding parking lot. "I've been remodeling the bus for about a year, but Trump asked a couple weeks ago to be in D.C. on the sixth so I want to make sure the Constitution holds and Donald Trump's re-elected again, so I threw this on the side of the bus, and here we go.""
He pardoned a guy who was sent up for 835 years for fraud. I think the guy's name is Sholam Weiss or something like that. That says a lot about Trump's pardon style?
