The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump, Trump Jr., Cruz, and Boebert were among those in the GOP embracing imaginary entities and events.


GOP claim linking Southwest cancellations to vaccine mandate debunked

excerpt:

"Donald Trump also sought to link the issues to vaccine mandates, as well as his endlessly repeated false claims about the 2020 election.

"I think it has a lot to do with a lot of things. I think it has something to do with the election that was rigged," he said in a radio interview this weekend. "I think these are big fans of your favorite president, I think that this has something to do with that. I think it has something to do with the ... I think it has a lot to do with mandates."

Donald Trump Jr., also amplified the baseless claim on Twitter, claiming that employees had gone on "strike" over the mandates.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson amplified these unfounded claims to his primetime audience, saying that the flight cancellations were the "direct consequence" of Biden's vaccine mandate.

But there's no evidence of a strike or sick-out by airline employees. The pilots' union has said that pilots called in sick at a normal rate over the weekend.

Asked how much the company's vaccine mandate contributed to the cancellations, Southwest CEO Gary Kelly told CNBC, "Zero."

Kelly said that the rate of employee absences over the weekend was "very normal.""

Desperation.


Some GOP officials are urging Republican voters to back Democrats in 2022 to save the party from 'pro-Trump extremists'

excerpt:

"Two GOP officials have urged Republicans in some cases to vote Democratic in the 2022 midterm elections as one of several ways to bolster the party from candidates they described as "pro-Trump extremists."

Miles Taylor, a Trump-era Department of Homeland Security chief of staff, and Christine Todd Whitman, a former Republican governor of New Jersey, wrote a New York Times op-ed article that ran Monday. Taylor is best known for anonymously writing a 2018 op-ed article in The Times describing a "resistance" of Trump administration officials working to tamper what he called the former president's "worst inclinations."

Together, Taylor and Whitman asked that the GOP's base consider supporting Democrats so "conservative pragmatists" could retake control of the party."

Bissey originally pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor in July."

 

Family of Hilton man charged in Capitol riot: 'He's a gentle kid'

excerpt:

"Rochester, N.Y. — The Hilton man charged in connection with the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 is in court Tuesday for a bail hearing.

Cody Mattice was in a restricted area and impeded Capitol police from doing their job, according to an arrest warrant.

Video posted to social media in January shows Cody Mattice begging for water after he says he was pepper-sprayed on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

"I’m not trying to fight nobody. I got pushed," he says. "I need water. Need water."

Nearly nine months later, the 28-year-old is facing charges from that day.

Mattice's grandfather, Robert Evert, says in the early morning hours of Oct. 7th, the FBI arrived at their home in Hilton. They pulled up in an armored vehicle, ready to arrest Mattice.

"What really shocked him, well shocked us too, was when they set off their flash bang grenade right out the front," Evert said."

 

Jon Stewart Explains Why Donald Trump Has ‘Very Good Chance’ Of Winning In 2024

excerpt:

"But although a future Trump run would “all be about Jan. 6 and ‘Stop the Steal,’” Stewart predicted, he said what Republicans “really learned from this exercise was there are really specific pivot points within the American electoral system, and those pivot points are generally the administration of elections run by partisans, but not ideologues.”

Stewart suggested the replacement of said election officials with ideologues could lead to a right-wing administrative coup and bring about an “early-stage minority rule.” The “actual danger of what happened is that it exposed a fragility at a level that is not flashy, or sexy, or known,” he added.

Last month, Stewart admitted misjudging Trump before the 2016 election, saying it was ridiculousness and shamelessness that actually “made him dangerous.”"

'Mark My Words': MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan Reveals GOP's 'Chilling' Plot For 2024

excerpt:

"Hasan said the Republican goal was to ensure that GOP-led state legislatures will have the power to ignore their states’ election results and certify their own electors instead.

“Mark my words: If Donald Trump is the 2024 Republican presidential nominee and Republicans control the House of Representatives, they will not certify a Democratic victory in 2024,” Hasan said."

Capitol police union reveals cops suffered "brain injuries," loss of eye after pro-Trump riot

Capitol police union reveals cops suffered "brain injuries," loss of eye after pro-Trump riot

excerpt:

"The Capitol Police Officers' Union—the group representing police officers within the US Capitol Police (USCP) force which protects the federal congressional grounds in Washington D.C.—has accused the USCP leadership of leaving officers unprepared for the January 6 insurrection. As a result, the union said, officers suffered "brain injuries", a lost eye and other injuries.

On Tuesday, USCP chief Yogananda Pittman said in a closed-door briefing with the House Appropriations Committee that the department was unprepared despite knowing at least two days beforehand about the strong potential for the Capitol to be targeted with violence. Pittman said the department "failed to meet its own high standards" in its handling of the riots.

Though Pittman was not the acting chief at the time of the riots—Steven Sund was, and he resigned on January 7—the union said her admission "angered and shocked" its members. The union said the leader's failure to adequately warn and equip officers with a plan was "inexcusable", "unconscionable" and resulted in one officer's death and other serious injuries.

"Between USCP and our colleagues at the Metropolitan Police Department, we have almost 140 officers injured," union chairman Gus Papathanasiou said in a statement released Wednesday. "I have officers who were not issued helmets prior to the attack who have sustained brain injuries. One officer has two cracked ribs and two smashed spinal discs. One officer is going to lose his eye, and another was stabbed with a metal fence stake.""

"You were in charge": Schiff slams Trump for blaming Capitol Riot on Democratic failure

"You were in charge": Schiff slams Trump for blaming Capitol Riot on Democratic failure

excerpt:

"Democratic California Representative Adam Schiff on Monday told Republican former President Donald Trump "you were in charge" after Trump blamed the January 6 Capitol riot on Democratic failures.

"The highly partisan Unselect Committee is just a sideshow to distract America from MASSIVE failures by Biden and the Democrats," Trump wrote in a Monday evening statement, referring to the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attacks.

"What happened to the Capitol would have never happened if the people in charge did their job and looked at the intelligence," Trump continued. "Instead of holding bad leaders accountable, the Democrats are going after innocent staffers and attacking the Constitution."

Trump's statement blaming the Democrats specifically named Schiff, who sits on the committee. Trump referred to Schiff as "shifty" and called the commission "the Radical Left's Witch Hunt." Trump has previously used the term "witch hunt" to refer to any investigations into his alleged wrongdoing.

Schiff's committee has issued several subpoenas against former Trump officials and allies whose actions are believed to have contributed to the Capitol riot.

In response to Trump's statement, Schiff tweeted, "Thanks for the shout-out, Mr. Former President."

"As for your statement that the attack on the Capitol would never have happened if 'the people in charge had done their job' You do realize that you were in charge on January 6th? Right? Just checking," Schiff added."

 

Lol!!! Get em Schiff!!

 

Bannon wasn't a member of Trump's administration when the riot at the Captiol occurred. Trump is no longer president.

In spite of that, Bannon is appealing to executive privilege of Trump to avoid having to respond to a subpoena.


Analysis: Pressure on January 6 panel ratchets up amid new explosion of Trump election lies - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"The sense that time is finite reflects the fact that the committee -- the final manifestation of a formal accounting process that pro-Trump Republicans tried to strangle -- is the last chance to provide an official historic record and to find the truth about January 6 before Americans next vote in a national election next year.

Leaders of the Democrat-heavy panel previously pledged to complete the probe by early next spring, before the midterm campaign consumes Washington.

First, the committee faces several important deadlines this week, including for a list of Trump associates already served with subpoenas, as it seeks to find out what the ex-President was saying and doing on January 6 and in the days leading up to his attempt to steal President Joe Biden's election victory.

Former Trump political guru Steve Bannon is due to provide a deposition and documents by Thursday but has said he will not cooperate, arguing that he is bound by "executive privileges belonging to President Trump." The claim is potentially dubious since Bannon was not a White House official in January and does not appear to fall under traditional interpretations of executive privilege -- a concept meant to secure the confidentiality of official advice to a president."

 

The Republicans in Congress said they would start their own panel to investigate the January 6 riot at the Capitol. Not much seems to have occurred on that front.

 

Trump (referring to himself as if he is the current president) thinks that the nonexistent worker strike at Southwest Airlines was a protest supporting him because the election was stolen from him (Trump's lie).

Trump packed as many falsehoods as possible into that twisted statement.

Trump is no longer president.

There was no worker strike at Southwest.

The election being stolen from Trump is a lie.

Trump isn't America's favorite president.

The situation at Southwest had nothing to do with vaccine mandates or Trump losing the election.

 

Well, well..... Won't respond, eh?

Simple... Lock this idiot up.

Three days without booze and he will be shaking like a leaf and ready to testify.

 

They caused it, they certainly don't want it investigated...
