    Trump: GOP Infighting May Force Me To Run

    excerpt:

    "PALM BEACH (CBSMiami) – Real estate mogul Donald Trump, who dropped out of the GOP presidential race months before the first primary, now said he may reluctantly be forced to run as a third party candidate, a decision revealed Sunday on a special Miami broadcast of the CBS News program Face The Nation.

    In an interview conducted Saturday night at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach with Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer, Trump blasted Republican infighting, saying was hurting the party’s chances to beat President Obama in 2012.

    “I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s Republican against Republican, and yet the level of hatred, I guess you could say, I mean, there’s no other word for it, is unbelievable,” he told Schieffer. “The question is, are they hurting themselves? Are they hurting the party? Are they hurting the Republicans, and are they hurting their chances of winning an election against Barack Obama? And probably the answer is yes.”"

    Bolton exhibits a 'we would have lost anyway' approach and cites his dislike of political opponents as a way of defending his choices to avoid direct personal commitment and involvement.

    During his interview with CNN, he tried to justify not testifying against Trump at his first impeachment by saying that the impeachment was destined to fail because of Nancy Pelosi's narrow span of using only the issue of Ukraine as the basis for impeachment.

    Bolton defended his avoidance of serving in Vietnam by saying that the war would have been lost anyway and lost because of people like Edward Kennedy.

    It's a cheap way of defending his lack of will to actually engage in a real battle. He chooses to fight his battles with his mouth and defend it retroactively when the issue at hand has long since passed.

    He's the type of person who would refuse to play in the football game when told by the coach to enter the game because he didn't like the coach and he thought the game was going to be lost anyway (while sitting on the bench and yelling at his teammates still playing that they should be more aggressive).

    It's part of why he is known as an armchair warrior and political chickenhawk.

    Trump replaced Bolton with O'Brien who was the fourth and final National Security Advisor during the Trump administration.


    Robert O'Brien replaces John Bolton as Trump's national security adviser

    excerpt:

    "O’Brien, a Mormon, was a campaign adviser to Mitt Romney, but has been unstintingly loyal to Trump, careful to credit him with any hostage successes.

    In April, Trump quoted O’Brien as saying: “President Donald J Trump is the greatest hostage negotiator that I know of in the history of the United States. 20 hostages, many in impossible circumstances, have been released in last two years. No money was paid.”

    The White House later insisted the quote had come from O’Brien, who had said Trump had “unparalleled success” in bringing home hostages."

    The card is funny but these guys were deadly serious.

    They had 5 pipe bombs, and automatic weapons with enough ammo to nuke Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    I agree with both of you, but an enemy of my enemy is my friend, people are saying.

    You should never argue with an idiot. The idiot brings you down to their level and beats you with experience.

    Judge slams a pair of pro-Trump lawyers for 'just repeating stuff' the former president 'is lying about' after dismissing election fraud case

    Judge slams a pair of pro-Trump lawyers for 'just repeating stuff' the former president 'is lying about' after dismissing election fraud case

    excerpt:

    "A Colorado judge gave a scathing rebuke to a pair of lawyers after he dismissed their case challenging the results of the 2020 election, suggesting they were just parroting former President Donald Trump's talking points.

    Lawyers Gary Fielder and Ernest John Walker filed a class-action suit in December last year, claiming to represent the voting rights of 160 million Americans. They accuse a slew of high-profile politicians and tech CEOs of thwarting a Trump election victory with China and Iran's help, according to court documents seen by Insider.

    The pair have bankrolled their case via a crowdfunding page calling it "the largest civil rights class-action lawsuit in history."

    The case was dismissed in April, one of the numerous failed attempts to implicate voting technology company Dominion Voting Systems in an alleged plot to steal the election for Joe Biden."

    The only thing those guys are serious about is going to the toilet, which they probably intend to blow up with their stupid pipe bomb. Timothy McVey was serious, these guys need to go back to kindergarten.

    excerpt:

    "On Monday, a federal judge in Michigan spent nearly six hours skeptically questioning a group of nine lawyers, including pro-Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and L. Lin Wood, in a similar hearing to determine whether to discipline the group for filing a lawsuit that sought to overturn President Biden’s win in that state.

    Sanctions hearings are pending in other states as well, including Wisconsin, where Gov. Tony Evers (D) has asked a judge to order Trump and his lawyers to pay the state’s legal fees stemming from post-election litigation.

    Meanwhile, a committee of judges in New York suspended the law license of former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, arguing that Trump’s personal lawyer had “communicated demonstrably false and misleading statements” that amounted to an ongoing threat to the public. Giuliani’s lawyers have said they are confident his license will be restored after a hearing."

    Still glad the FBI arrested them before their Watergate on Steroids plan was initiated.

    Rudy Giuliani was so 'incredibly drunk' on election night that Trump aides worried he'd smash valuable White House china, Michael Wolff says

    excerpt:

    "Rudy Giuliani was so drunk on election night that former President Donald Trump's aides were concerned he'd accidentally smash valuable White House china, presidential biographer Michael Wolff told MSNBC.

    Wolff described how on the night of November 3, 2020, the former New York City mayor was struggling to maintain his balance while trying to convince others that Trump had won re-election.

    At one point, he was pulled aside into the White House's china room by several aides of the former president, Raw Story reported. "And at that moment, Rudy was incredibly drunk, weaving this way and that way," Wolff told MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell on Friday afternoon."

    Giuliani is crazy enough to break China by smacking it on his head.
