The Donald Trump Score Card

I want an immediate investigation! Is Kermit in on the conspiracy? Miss Piggy? Oscar? Is Elmo as innocent as he looks?

In 1992, VP Dan Quayle set off a culture war when he accused the TV show Murphy Brown of corrupting American family values.


That Time ‘Murphy Brown’ and Dan Quayle Topped the Front Page (Published 2018)

excerpt:

"It started with a speech by Vice President Dan Quayle during campaign season for the first President George Bush, who was angling for a second term. Mr. Quayle was talking about family values.

Murphy Brown had just aired its Season 4 finale in which Ms. Brown, an unmarried news anchor, gave birth to a baby boy.

Mr. Quayle said the character was “mocking the importance of fathers, by bearing a child alone, and calling it just another ‘lifestyle choice.’”

The blowback from liberals was swift, and an early skirmish in the culture war was on. Critics of the administration said it was hypocritical to condemn both abortion and single motherhood. In a fumbled response to Mr. Quayle’s remarks, the White House “first applauded, then dithered, then beat a befuddled retreat,” The Times reported.

A White House spokesman criticized the “glorification of the life of an unwed mother” on the morning after the speech. But shortly after that, he praised the show for its “pro-life values.”

And that afternoon, President Bush, besieged by Murphy Brown questions at an appearance with the prime minister of Canada, threw up his hands in frustration.

“I don’t know that much about the show,” he said. “I’ve told you, I don’t want any more questions about it.”

Murphy Brown was a divorced career woman in her 40s who had battled addictions to cigarettes and alcohol, decided to raise a child on her own and tried medical marijuana after learning she had breast cancer. Her fans saw her as an icon — an older, saltier, more modern version of Mary Tyler Moore."

 

Don't let it bother you Big Bird. Consider the source.

 

Trump must have something on him?

Trump bashes bipartisan effort that achieved an infrastructure bill that his administration in four years was unable to produce.


Trump slams Mitch McConnell and GOP lawmakers who voted in favor of infrastructure bill

excerpt:

"Former President Donald Trump slammed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republicans who voted in favor of the infrastructure bill on Sunday.

"All Republicans who voted for Democrat longevity should be ashamed of themselves," Trump said in a statement.

On Friday, 13 House Republicans voted with Democrats to pass the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill. The Bill passed in the Senate in August with 19 Republicans, including McConnell, voting in favor alongside every Democrat.

The legislation included funds for roads, highways, and bridges, alongside electric vehicles, clean energy, and high-speed broadband."

 

A Special Grand Jury In Georgia Could Be the Latest Splitting Headache for Trump

excerpt:

"The pace of the Georgia investigation has thus far been hampered by local issues demanding Willis’ attention, as well as a backlog of cases overwhelming her office. Willis’ team has looked to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot for backup, as congressional investigators are pursuing evidence that could be of considerable use to them. But that avenue has also been bogged down “by delays in the panel’s fact gathering,” according to the Times. Nonetheless, Willis appears ready to get the ball rolling. Convening a special grand jury focused solely on Trump’s attempts to interfere with Georgia’s election results would indicate “that her own investigation is ramping up,” the paper notes. A special grand jury would consist of 16 to 23 members and be able to issue subpoenas, though the Times adds that Willis “would need to return to a regular grand jury to seek criminal indictments.”

There are many charges the former president could be hit with in relation to his post-election conduct in Georgia, according to a recent analysis by D.C. think tank the Brookings Institution. They note that Trump made personal “entreaties to senior state officials”—from Secretary of State Raffensperger to Attorney General Chris Carr to Governor Brian Kemp, all of whom are Republicans—“to alter the outcome of a presidential election” whose results had already been certified. Among the crimes Trump could be charged with are “criminal solicitation to commit election fraud” and “state RICO violations,” the report concluded, an analysis based entirely on publicly-available data. Criminal liability could also extend to Trump allies who allegedly assisted Trump’s effort to subvert the results, the Brookings Institution notes, such as his former counsel Rudy Giuliani."

 

...

 

Trump was critical of GOP senators who voted in favor of the bill and said they "voted thinking that helping the Democrats is such a wonderful thing to do, so politically correct. They just don't get it!"

Hey Donald, how about they "voted thinking that helping the COUNTRY is such a wonderful thing to do?" Just further proof Trump doesn't give a shit about America, he wants the Biden Administration to fail miserably at our expense. He knows that's his only hope of getting back in office in his bid to become an autocrat.

 

Up next:

Cruz blames Big Bird for the bird flu and Porky Pig for the swine flu.

 

Nineteen GOP senators voted for the infrastructure bill in August. That's a large number of Republican senators for Trump to avenge and run out of office.

Trump says that everyone should wait until 2025 when he thinks he will be back in office so that he can land a better infrastructure deal that he never did in his term when both houses in Congress were Republican during his first two years.

 

He also blames these two for the Russian flu



And he blames these damn hippies for...whatever!

 

If we could just figure out where the moron factory is, maybe we could get it shut down!

 

There must be one in Ohio...

 

Mitch McConnell spent decades chasing power. Now he heeds Trump, who mocks him and wants him gone.

excerpt:

"McConnell’s vote on impeachment, which infuriated some of his closest backers, made clear his calculus that he couldn’t challenge Trump, even at the former president’s most vulnerable moment, a sign of the MAGA hold on the party electorate and many in McConnell’s own caucus. He opposed a bipartisan Jan. 6 investigation, blocked three bills Democrats put forward to counter restrictive GOP voting laws driven by Trump’s false fraud claims and endorsed a Trump-backed 2022 Senate candidate who echoed the false claim that the election was stolen.

To top it all off, McConnell has pledged to vote for Trump if he’s a 2024 nominee. Asked by The Post in an interview whether he would support Trump as the nominee “no matter what he’s done,” McConnell said he would “obviously” back the GOP’s presidential pick. How could he square that pledge with saying Trump had caused an insurrection? McConnell said it was “pretty simple,” because he would follow his party’s wishes.

“My guess is what happened is the tides changed and he realized there wasn’t support [to convict] in the caucus,” said Trey Grayson, Kentucky’s former secretary of state, whom McConnell once unsuccessfully endorsed in a Senate race against Rand Paul. “Sometimes leaders lead, and sometimes they have to follow some people that are trying to lead. And I guess that’s what happened.”"

 

Good one Joel.
