The Donald Trump Score Card

There's good evidence that Trumps criminal actions after the general election, followed by voter apathy by his staunchest supporters after it was clear Trump lost, is why the Republicans lost the two senate seats in georgia to the democrats

Let's hope that still applies

 

Brown said she could just feel it in the air that Trump won.


GOP nominee for Wayne Co. election board was at Jan. 6 rally

excerpt:

"But Brown said she "truly believes" Trump won last year's election and she wouldn't have certified the result in Wayne County, a Democratic stronghold that's been at the center for the former president's criticisms.

“If I was on the board of canvassers, knowing what I would have known about that election, I honestly don’t think I would have," Brown said. "That’s just being honest."

She's the latest example of individuals who have supported unsubstantiated assertions about Michigan's vote being nominated by local GOP officials to serve on county canvassing boards that are in charge of verifying election records and certifying results."

 

GOP nominee for Wayne Co. election board was at Jan. 6 rally

excerpt:

"Asked why she believes Trump won the 2020 election, she cited the TCF Center, where absentee ballots in Detroit were counted, and said there was unfair treatment of GOP poll challengers.

"You can feel it in the air. You just knew. There were Trump signs everywhere," Brown added of why she believes Trump prevailed."

 

Brown prefers to base certification on how many Trump signs she sees in Wayne County.


GOP nominee for Wayne Co. election board was at Jan. 6 rally

excerpt:

"A series of court rulings, dozens of audits and a probe by the Republican-controlled Senate Oversight Committee have upheld Trump's loss in Michigan. Democrat Joe Biden won by 154,000 votes or 3 percentage points."

 

Because there were Trumph signs everywhere....."Your honor, this goes to show the mental state of the witness - mass induced hystereia"

 

GOP nominee for Wayne Co. election board was at Jan. 6 rally

excerpt:

"A Detroit News investigation on Monday revealed a trend across the state involving Republican Party leaders choosing to nominate newcomers to serve on the canvassing boards. The pattern is concerning Democrats and some experts who believe hardcore Trump supporters might refuse to certify future tallies if they gain spots on the panels.

In Wayne County, the state's largest county, the GOP congressional district chairs declined to renominate Monica Palmer for her position on the board of canvassers. On Nov. 17, Palmer and fellow Republican canvasser William Hartmann initially opposed certifying the results before changing course and signing off on them.

“I think this is clearly an attempt (to ensure) that I don’t remain on the board of canvassers because I did eventually certify the election," Palmer said last week."

 

Palmer tried to rescind her decision to certify the 2020 election win for Biden in Wayne County, which contains Detroit.

In spite of trying a stunt like that, apparently she's still not loyal enough for Trump. The GOP chose to not nominate Palmer to continue as a canvasser in MI and instead nominated Brown who attended Trump's January 6 rally in DC.


Trump Targets Michigan in His Ploy to Subvert the Election

excerpts:

"The president has also asked aides what Republican officials he could call in other battleground states in his effort to prevent the certification of results that would formalize his loss to Mr. Biden, several advisers said. Trump allies appear to be pursuing a highly dubious legal theory that if the results are not certified, Republican legislatures could intervene and appoint pro-Trump electors in states Mr. Biden won who would support the president when the Electoral College meets on Dec. 14."


"Roughly 24 hours after that contact by the president, Ms. Palmer and the other Republican board member, William Hartmann, announced late Wednesday that they were reversing their move to certify the results."

 

And that was just ok.

 

Palmer offered to selectively certify Wayne County in the 2020 election by certifying the white areas of the county but not the black ones that voted heavily for Biden.


The Inside Story of Michigan’s Fake Voter Fraud Scandal

excerpt:

"Just days earlier, a meeting of the Wayne County canvassing board had devolved into pandemonium after the two GOP members initially refused to certify the county’s results. There were valid concerns about some inconsistencies in the balancing of Detroit’s poll books; and yet, those inconsistencies were minimal relative to the 2016 election, when Trump won by a margin 15 times smaller—and when the board voted unanimously to certify the result. Monica Palmer, one of the GOP canvassers, caused an uproar when she offered to certify the rest of Wayne County—precincts like Livonia—without certifying Detroit. (Livonia, which is 95 percent white, had more poll-book irregularities than Detroit, which is 80 percent Black.)"

 

Van Langervelde didn't bow to Trump. He made a proper decision for MI similar to that of Pence saying that he didn't have the power to overturn the election for Trump.

Trump pushed MI to the brink just like he did the country with his rally and riot at the Capitol on January 6.


The Inside Story of Michigan’s Fake Voter Fraud Scandal

excerpt:

“We must not attempt to exercise power we simply don’t have,” declared Van Langevelde, a member of Michigan’s board of state canvassers, the ministerial body with sole authority to make official Joe Biden’s victory over Trump. “As John Adams once said, 'We are a government of laws, not men.' This board needs to adhere to that principle here today. This board must do its part to uphold the rule of law and comply with our legal duty to certify this election.”

Van Langevelde is a Republican. He works for Republicans in the Statehouse. He gives legal guidance to advance Republican causes and win Republican campaigns. As a Republican, his mandate for Monday’s hearing—handed down from the state party chair, the national party chair and the president himself—was straightforward. They wanted Michigan’s board of canvassers to delay certification of Biden’s victory. Never mind that Trump lost by more than 154,000 votes, or that results were already certified in all 83 counties. The plan was to drag things out, to further muddy the election waters and delegitimize the process, to force the courts to take unprecedented actions that would forever taint Michigan’s process of certifying elections. Not because it was going to help Trump win but because it was going to help Trump cope with a loss. The president was not accepting defeat. That meant no Republican with career ambitions could accept it, either.

Which made Van Langevelde’s vote for certification all the more remarkable. With the other Republican on the four-person board, Norman Shinkle, abstaining on the final vote—a cowardly abdication of duty—the 40-year-old Van Langevelde delivered the verdict on his own. At a low point in his party’s existence, with much of the GOP’s leadership class pre-writing their own political epitaphs by empowering Trump to lay waste to the country’s foundational democratic norms, an obscure lawyer from west Michigan stood on principle. It proved to be the nail in Trump’s coffin: Shortly after Michigan’s vote to certify, the General Services Administration finally commenced the official transition of power and Trump tweeted out a statement affirming the move “in the best interest of our Country.”

 

Trump's supporters wanted to throw out 878,000 votes in the black, Biden-dominated county because a few hundred ballots were out of balance.

Palmer wanted to selectively throw out votes in Detroit but keep the ones in heavily white areas.


GOP canvassers try to rescind votes to certify Wayne County vote

excerpt:

"During Tuesday's meeting, an elections official said countywide, the precincts were out of balance by a few hundred votes in a county that saw 878,000 votes total on Nov. 3. The Democratic stronghold county backed Biden over Trump 68%-31%."

 

Throw out 878,000 votes in a heavily Biden area because of a 0.03% discrepancy.

 

Trump-inspired GOP infighting in Nevada.


'Really embarrassing': GOP erupts into swing state civil war

excerpt:

"In recent days, Republicans tied to a pre-existing leadership group in Las Vegas’ Clark County filed a lawsuit seeking to bar the state party from electing officers at its fall meeting on Saturday in Northern Nevada. On Thursday, a judge in Nevada denied their request, dismissing the case.

And that same day, the state party chair, Michael McDonald, pledged in an interview to counter-sue.

Meanwhile, several GOP officials in Washoe County — the state’s second-most populous county and a traditional bellwether — resigned from their posts earlier this week amid an uprising from pro-Trump activists within their ranks. In Carson City, former state Controller Ron Knecht resigned from his leadership position in his local Republican club and from the state party’s central committee, which he torched as “dysfunctional” on his way out.

“Oh my God,” said Amy Tarkanian, a former chair of the state Republican Party. “It’s really, really embarrassing, just as a whole.”"

 

The remnants of rational people in the GOP are resigning.

For the GOP’s shrinking band of traditionalists, the warring has laid bare the limited options remaining for them in a party that is still fiercely loyal to Trump and his baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged. Nearly a year after the November election, the party continues to reckon with the volatile forces set loose by the former president.

In Washoe County, some old-guard Republicans have simply left the GOP organization and formed a PAC to help elect Republican lawmakers, working outside of the party."

 

The Trump-induced, post-election antics have been about assuaging Trump's hurt ego after losing the election.

Trump behaved the same way after he was wrong about a hurricane supposedly on a path to hit Alabama. He altered a government weather document with his Sharpie pen. He even forced an unnamed high official at NOAA to say Trump was right in an unsigned letter.

He's been doing a grand version of one of his Sharpie moments with the 2020 election that a Sharpie pen won't fix.

That's 263 votes. Probably about as many times as Trumph voted for himself, or how many time he played golf in his first year.

Capitol Police officer indicted for obstruction in January 6 case | wusa9.com

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON — A 25-year veteran of the U.S. Capitol Police force was indicted Thursday on two felony counts of obstruction for allegedly advising someone who entered the Capitol on January 6 to delete photos and posts showing their involvement in the riot.

A federal grand jury returned an indictment on two counts of obstruction for Capitol Police Officer Michael Angelo Riley. According to documents filed in D.C. District Court, Riley is a K-9 officer with Capitol Police who was not inside the building on January 6, but did respond to the pipe bombs found on the Capitol complex.

Investigators say in the indictment Riley accepted a Facebook request from someone he didn’t know on January 1. The individual is named only as “Person 1,” and according to the indictment, they had no prior relationship with Riley except for both being avid fishermen and members of fishing-related Facebook groups."

 

The GOP can't be embarrassed, because they can't distinguish their own fucking lies from the truth. Sadly, no matter how strongly they claim to be embarrassed or that the truth actually matters to them, over twenty years of Fox News and the Tea Party make fucking bald faced liars and con artists out of all of them. You can't have a civil war in the GOP, because it no longer exists, and is up for grabs to the highest bidder, Donald Duck right now.
