    Trump Played the Conspiracy Theory Hits at Bill O'Reilly 'History Tour' in Dallas

    excerpt:

    “We saved tens of millions worldwide by creating the vaccine,” Trump said, while occasionally peppering in “no mandates” between sentences. “It would have been like the Spanish Flu without it … We should take credit for it and you play right into their hands [when you doubt the vaccine].”

    For a moment, things seemed normal. In touch with reality, even. But when O’Reilly followed up Trump’s defense of the vaccine by saying “both the President and I are vaxxed. We got the booster,” the crowd booed in disapproval.

    And then it got worse.

    “We don’t have anyone on the left in this room, do we?” Trump asked. “Wait, no, don’t say it. We don’t want anything to happen.”

    Trump is frustrated because his supporters won't take the vaccine that he falsely thinks he invented and for which he thinks he should be praised and awarded the Nobel Prize In Medicine.

    He filled them with so many truther narratives that they will never take the vaccine.

    About the only way to have Trump's supporters take the vaccine is if an oral version is available and sneaked into horse antibiotic pills.

    Trump, like Mr. Subliminal:

    "We saved tens of millions worldwide (no mandate) by creating the vaccine (no mandate). It would have been like the Spanish Flu without it (no mandate).

    Trump wants the courts to help him sabotage the January 6 investigation

    excerpt:

    "Similarly, Trump claims that the contested records are beyond Congress’s power to conduct investigations. But this argument borders on frivolous. The Supreme Court has long held that Congress may investigate any subject matter “on which legislation could be had.” And the January 6 investigation could inform all sorts of potential legislation, including laws governing the certification of a presidential election, laws governing police resources at the Capitol, and laws shaping the government’s response to domestic terrorism.

    That leaves Trump’s claim that the documents are protected by executive privilege. As the Court explained in United States v. Nixon (1974), such a privilege exists to ensure that presidents receive candid advice from staffers who may be more circumspect if they fear that their communications will become public. “Those who expect public dissemination of their remarks,” the 1974 Nixon case explained, “may well temper candor with a concern for appearances and for their own interests to the detriment of the decisionmaking process.”

    For this reason, GSA’s holding that executive privilege does not evaporate completely when a president leaves office makes sense. A presidential adviser might be reluctant to offer unpopular advice in 2020 if they fear that this advice could become widely known in 2021.

    Still, as mentioned above, executive privilege is weaker for a former president. And it is especially weak when the sitting president disagrees with their predecessor’s decision to assert executive privilege. “It must be presumed that the incumbent President is vitally concerned with and in the best position to assess the present and future needs of the Executive Branch,” the Court explained in GSA, including the executive branch’s need to keep the advice offered by past presidential advisers secret."

    Trump wants the courts to help him sabotage the January 6 investigation

    excerpt:

    "But the practical impact of Mazars was that it allowed Trump to keep his records secret until after the 2020 election. That was an enormous victory for Trump.

    A similar dynamic could play out in the Thompson case. Although the appeals court ruled against Trump in Thompson, it blocked its own order until December 23 to give Trump enough time to seek review of this case in the Supreme Court. In the overwhelmingly likely event that Trump’s lawyers do seek Supreme Court review, the appeals court order will not take effect until after the justices decide whether to act on the case.

    If the Court agrees to hear the case, Trump’s records will almost certainly remain secret while the case is pending before the justices — and, depending on when the justices schedule the oral argument in Thompson and when they hand down their decision, the Court could potentially delay its own ruling until after a newly elected Congress takes office in January 2023."

    Trump's star has definitely faded. Recent rallies he's held have had many empty seats, and a recent attempt to have Mitch McConnell ousted was overwhelmingly rejected by the GOP.

    Still, he's far from done. The 2022 midterms could resurrect him if a lot of Republicans are elected, especially ones he endorses. On the other hand, if that doesn't happen it could effectively end his political career. People will need to get out and vote, no matter how difficult the Republicans make it!

    Here's an odd thought: Does anyone consider the possibility that a lot of proponents of 'non-vaccination' have actually received the inoculation?

    They decided to get vaccinated because they wanted to protect themselves from Covid.......but they tell everyone that they didn't because they want to be known as backers of 'personal freedom' and 'the right to control their own bodies' and any other garbage they can come up with.

    This way, they get to have their cake & eat it, too!
