The Donald Trump Score Card

More Republican hypocrisy.

The three Republicans who voted illegally for Trump twice are residents of a retirement community called The Villages. Trump, Gaetz, and Greene have held rallies at The Villages in Florida.

Trump told his fans at a NC rally in 2020 to vote twice to test the system.

At least three GOP people in The Villages did what Trump wanted and now face 3rd degree felony charges.

Residents of Trump-Loving Retirement Community Arrested for Allegedly Voting Twice in 2020 Election

excerpt:

“Multiple voting is unlawful,” said Christina Pushaw, press secretary for Governor Ron DeSantis. “It isn’t a crime to be registered to vote in more than one state, as long as you only vote in one.”

Trump hosted an October rally at The Villages ahead of last year’s election. “Thousands” attended, according to the Sentinel. The community has continued to be a hotbed of MAGA activity since the president left office. Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) hosted a rally there in May. The Sentinel called The Villages as a “refuge” for the Trump-loving lawmakers, describing their rally as “raucous.”

 

Trump Encourages People in North Carolina to Vote Twice, Which Is Illegal (Published 2020)

excerpt:

“We can actually run a list of people who appeared to have voted more than once,” said Ms. Wyman, a Republican. “Out of 3.5 million ballots cast in 2018, it appears that roughly 100 people may have voted more than once. Counties are checking.”

“Is it perfect? No,” Ms. Wyman said. “Is there rampant fraud? No. Do people sometimes make mistakes? Yes.”

 

That's 0.003% of people trying to vote twice in NC.

 

Trump says that as many as 500,000 people in GA voted illegally for Biden by forging signatures, via suitcases of fake ballots sneaked into the election centers, and by election workers running the suitcase ballots through the machines three times each. Then the machines were supposedly whisked away into hiding.

Trump was requesting Raffensperger to audit signatures for many years into the past to see if they stayed the same all those years leading up to the 2020 election.

 

Trump’s lackeys would rather defy US Congress than anger their old boss. Sad! | Lloyd Green

excerpt:

"Unlike Meadows, Bannon was not collecting a federal paycheck on 6 January – he had left the White House more than three years earlier. How Bannon’s post-election communications with Trump could be covered by executive privilege remains unclear, a fact that has not escaped notice.

As framed by the committee: “There is no conceivable executive privilege claim that could bar all of the select committee’s requests or justify Mr Bannon’s flat refusal to appear for the required deposition.”

Already, Bannon and Meadows have spawned at least one copycat – Peter Navarro, a Trump economic adviser who, in a book of his own, has cast Mike Pence as Brutus to Trump’s Caesar.

More to the point, according to published reports, Navarro recently defied a subpoena issued by a separate House select committee that is examining the Trump administration’s response to Covid. In his letter to the committee, Navarro wrote that Trump told him to “protect executive privilege and not let these unhinged Democrats discredit our great accomplishments”. Whether contempt charges will follow Navarro is the subject of speculation."

 

Analysis: Mark Meadows and what his text messages reveal - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"There was Donald Trump Jr.: "He's got to condemn this sh*t ASAP."

And Sean Hannity: "Can he make a statement? Ask people to leave the Capitol?"

And Laura Ingraham: "Mark, the president needs to tell people in the Capitol to go home. This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy."

And Brian Kilmeade: "Please, get him on TV. Destroying everything you have accomplished."

There can be no doubt that, in the moment, those who had Trump's ear -- from his eldest son to his enablers on Fox News -- were not only aware of what was happening at the US Capitol, but also were pressuring Meadows (and presumably Trump) to do something about it."

 

Analysis: Mark Meadows and what his text messages reveal - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"The point here is a simple one: Those closest to Donald Trump spent January 6 trying to make clear to him that what was happening at the US Capitol needed to be stopped -- and that he was the only person who could make that happen. He spent hours refusing to do anything and, when he did finally put out a video calling for his supporters to disperse, it was sprinkled with talk of "fraudulent" elections and a result that was "stolen from us."

What's truly remarkable is that that isn't even the worst thing that these texts reveal. The worst thing is this: Even knowing what they said to Trump on January 6 about the severity of what was happening, many of these same people have spent the last year doing their damndest to downplay it all -- arguing that the whole thing was overblown by the media and its Democratic enablers.
That, to me, is the truly appalling part of all of this. To know the right thing -- and to even call on Trump, in the moment, to do the right thing -- and then spend the next 11 months pretending publicly like you didn't? Gross."

 

North Carolina....boy, you should see the Jerrymandering going on here now.

 

Well, I guess it's time to fight dirty.

Trump's legacy is creating strife.

His insurrection at the Capitol was the culmination of his troublemaking.

Trump has no limit. If he returns to power or loses another election, there is little reason to think that there won't be more incidents like his riot at the Capitol and ones that are even more violent.

 

Another Trump rioter arrested.


Telluride man arrested in connection with U.S. Capitol riot | 9news.com

excerpt:

"SAN MIGUEL COUNTY, Colo. — A Telluride man is accused of assaulting two police officers during the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, according to a federal criminal complaint.

Avery MacCracken, 68, was arrested in Norwood on Saturday morning. He was held in the San Miguel County Jail until he was taken into federal custody Monday afternoon, according to the San Miguel County Sheriff's Office.

MacCracken is facing multiple charges in connection with the Jan 6. riot, including engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, civil disorder, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers, inflicting bodily injury."

 

In one of the videos of Trump's insurrection at the Capitol, one of the rioters is heard saying, "We should bring guns next time."

 

His legacy is to be the laughing stock of history.

 

GOP members take the Biden relief money that they railed against.


Republicans Who Assailed Biden's Stimulus Bill Are Embracing the Money

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON — At her annual budget address this month, Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota blamed President Joe Biden’s economic policies for rising prices, derided the “giant handout” of federal stimulus funds and suggested that she had considered refusing the money over ideological objections.

But like many Republican officials, Noem has found it hard to say no to her state’s share of the $1.9 trillion pandemic relief aid that Democrats passed along party lines in March.

Noem explained to fellow legislators how critical those federal funds were to South Dakota and outlined how she would use some of the nearly $1 billion slated for her state to invest in local water projects, make housing more affordable and build new day care centers. For those questioning her choice to take the money, Noem, who has opposed COVID restrictions including shutdowns and mask mandates, said any pandemic-relief funds she rejected would have just gone to other states."
