The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump shows his disdain for ballot drop boxes.

excerpt:

"Former President Donald Trump's disdain for drop boxes is fueling a multifaceted effort to restrict their use in a number of states, and giving some GOP candidates a new way to court favor as primaries approach.

Earlier this week, Trump took aim at draft legislation in Wisconsin that would have allowed for some drop boxes monitored with continuous video surveillance to be used as a method for returning mail-in ballots, scrambling Republican support for the measure even before it was introduced.

“These fools are playing right into the Democrats’ hand. Drop boxes are only good for Democrats and cheating, not good for Republicans,” he said in a statement Monday, released shortly after a draft version of the bill was posted on The Gateway Pundit, a conservative site."

Arizona bill would allow legislature to overturn election results

excerpt:

"An arch conservative member of Arizona’s state House of Representatives has proposed a mammoth overhaul of the state’s voting procedures that would allow legislators to overturn the results of a primary or general election after months of unfounded allegations and partisan audits.

The bill, introduced by state Rep. John Fillmore (R), would substantially change the way Arizonans vote by eliminating most early and absentee voting and requiring people to vote in their home precincts, rather than at vote centers set up around the state.

Most dramatically, Fillmore’s bill would require the legislature to hold a special session after an election to review election processes and results, and to “accept or reject the election results.”

The proposal comes after President Biden became the first Democrat since former President Clinton to win Arizona’s electoral votes. He defeated former President Trump there by just under 11,000 votes, or about three-tenths of a percentage point."

 

I worded my post as I did because so many of the T**** followers (right-wing fringe-dwellers) claim that they're "good Christians", are following "Godly" advice by refusing to get vaccinated and following infectious disease experts' advice. They conveniently ignore God's own C-O-M-M-A-N-D to love one another. You don't demonstrate love by ignoring medical advice that can prevent your fellow man & woman from getting seriously sick and maybe dying. If society thinks that drinking alcohol or taking illegal drugs and then driving is irresponsible ........ then it must follow that ignoring sound, proven medical advice and continuing the spread of a potentially deadly virus is JUST AS IRRESPONSIBLE.

The point being simply this ...... you can't claim to be a good Christian and ignore the health & safety of yourself - and your fellow man & woman. But yet sooo many do that. And many, MANY good folks have died because of that indifference.

 

Like various other Trump supporters, Filmore wants to return to the life of the 1950's.


Arizona bill would allow legislature to overturn election results

excerpt:

"But Fillmore said at a committee hearing Wednesday he still does not believe the reports he has seen, though he maintained his skepticism has little to do with the ultimate winner.

“I don’t care what the press says. I don’t trust ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox or anybody out there. Everybody’s lying to me and I feel like I have a couple hundred ex-wives hanging around me,” Fillmore said. “This is not a President Biden thing. This is not a the other red-headed guy thing.”

“We should have voting in my opinion in person, one day, on paper, with no electronic means and hand counting that day. We need to get back to 1958-style voting,” he added."

 

Does that asshole (T****) think that no Republican voters use ballot drop boxes???????

 

Time for the U.S. to get over the T****- drunken stupor and get smart again. Democracy ........ NOT authoritarianism.

Flush T**** down the toilet like the turd he is.

 

They did what Trump told them to do.

excerpt:

“I’m incredibly sorry for my part in what has now put a stain on American history.”

Mehta asked him why he thought it was permissible to breach the Capitol that day.

“I was caught up in President Trump telling everybody that this election got stolen and he had kind of everybody enraged,” Zachary Wilson said. “We didn’t even have any idea that we were gonna do a march. We thought we were just there for the speech. And then when he said, ‘Yeah, turn around and march,’ and everybody’s like, ‘Yeah, march.’ And he’d already had everybody so worked up that when we got up there I just reacted wrongly. I really feel stupid, to be honest.”

 

Shoot, why stop there? We can reinstitute the poll tax, too.

 

Some of Trump's rioters seemed like they were stained long before the riot.

As Fred Sanford would say, "Esther, your family was stained when I met y'all. Even Ajax couldn't take out a stain like that."

 

I think Beau is too smart for that...

Our best and brightest are never the ones who hold office. It would be advantages if those that did hold public office listened to our best and brightest. That's not happening at the moment, though.

 

The Chief: "All we know is that they threatened to wipe out the city containing our finest intellectual minds and greatest leaders."

Maxwell Smart: "Well, at least Washington is safe."

 

Yes sirree Bob. When a black person's place was at the back of the line. A wimmin's place was in the home. When men were men, and didn't hold hands.

 

McConnell has another opportunity to change his mind again about the swiftness of confirming Supreme Court nominations.

excerpt:

"After news of the passing of legendary Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) wasted no time making it clear where he stood on the timeline to confirm a successor. "President Trump's nominee will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate," he said in a statement.

That position seemingly contradicts the stance McConnell took in February 2016 when Justice Antonin Scalia died, nearly nine months prior to that year's presidential election. That time around, the Republican leader blocked President Barack Obama's nominee, Merrick Garland, saying "the American people should have a say in the court's direction." President Trump won in November, and Neil Gorsuch was eventually confirmed to replace Scalia more than a year after he died."

 

McConnell gave Trump a swift confirmation for the replacement of Ginsberg who died less than two months before the 2020 election.

McConnell denied a confirmation vote for Obama's selection after Scalia died about nine months before the 2016 election.

McConnell thought nine months wasn't enough time for the American people to decide about Obama's pick, yet two months was for Trump's pick.

Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed October 26, 2020, a little over a month after Ginsburg's death on September 18, 2020.

 

Barrett received no votes from Democrats in the Senate. It's very unusual for any Supreme Court justice to not receive at least one vote from the minority party.


Amy Coney Barrett - Wikipedia

excerpt:

"Barrett is the first justice since 1870 to be confirmed without a single vote from the Senate minority party.[129][130]

The nature of her appointment was criticized by numerous Democratic politicians; Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer called it "the most illegitimate process I have ever witnessed in the Senate."[131] Republicans responded that they were merely exercising their constitutional rights, and that accusations of hypocrisy were nothing more than "an unwarranted tantrum from the left".[131]."

 

Walker declines Trump's offer to exit the Senate race and run for a House seat with his endorsement. He will continue to run for the Senate seat.

Trump wants Budd to win the Senate seat.


Walker defies Trump, says he’ll stay in N.C. Senate race - POLITICO

excerpt:

"Former Rep. Mark Walker says he is staying in North Carolina’s open Senate race, a decision that rattles the GOP primary in one of the nation’s most competitive contests.

His decision to remain in the contest defies former President Donald Trump’s offer to endorse him for a House seat — an offer that was designed to clear the Republican field for Trump’s chosen candidate, Rep. Ted Budd.

As Walker spoke to a crowd of hundreds of supporters in Greensboro, N.C. on Thursday night, a crew dramatically lifted a tarp from his campaign bus, revealing a Walker for Senate logo."

 

Fincastle man finally arrested for involvement in Capitol riot.


Fincastle man charged in connection with Capitol riot

excerpt:

"For more than a year, the man seen on video surveillance wearing a white cowboy hat emblazoned with the words “TRUMP 2020” during the U.S. Capitol riot was known to law enforcement only as AFO-324.

AFO stands for assault on a federal officer. The suspect was pictured in photograph number 324 on an FBI website. Federal authorities urged anyone with information on who the man might be to contact them.

On Wednesday morning, they found him.

Markus Maly, 47, was arrested at his Fincastle home and charged with assaulting police officers and eight other crimes during an insurrection in which thousands of supporters of former President Donald Trump forced their way into the Capitol as Congress was meeting to certify the 2020 election.

According to court documents, Maly pointed and sprayed a chemical irritant at a line of police officers who were attempting the secure the Lower West Terrace area as the horde approached."

 

Trump attracted some wretched people.


Fincastle man charged in connection with Capitol riot

excerpt:

"After hearing evidence that Maly has twice been convicted of assaulting a police officer in Pinnellas County, Florida, Magistrate Judge Robert Ballou ordered that he be held without bond. Future hearings will take place in Washington, D.C."

 

Trump is still quiet about his loss in the Supreme Court regarding executive privilege.
