    Trump:

    “I want to confirm that Bill Barr, one of the most respected jurists in the country, highly respected lawyer, former attorney general under the Bush administration, a terrific man, a terrific person, a brilliant man,” Trump said as he departed the White House. “I did not know him until recently when I went through the process of looking at people and he was my first choice from day one, respected by Republicans and respected by Democrats.”

    Trump remark about Barr in a letter he sent to Lester Holt this week:

    "He was slow, lethargic, and I realized early on that he never had what it takes to make a great Attorney General."

    Translation: Barr wouldn't break the law for me.

    Violence at the Capitol is Trump's legacy. It was the culmination of years of his divisive rhetoric that finally exploded.

    Trump didn't know about Barr who had been around for decades and was AG for Bush Sr.

    That is what the people receive when voting for a Manhattan real estate mogul and reality TV star who supposedly was going to straighten out the country.

    The bone spur excuse he used as a medical deferment to avoid serving in Vietnam may have made their way up from his heels through his spinal column and into that thick skull

    Well he's correct 83,000 people didn't vote for Joe Biden in 2020

    The final total was 81,000,000 for Biden and 74,000,000 for Trump

    Kelly Tshibaka.

    She's running against Murkowski for the U.S. Senate seat in Alaska.

    Trump endorsed Tshibaka.

    Murkowski was one of seven Republicans who voted to convict Trump for the riot at the Capitol

    Article from April 2021.


    Vladimir Putin passes law that may keep him in office until 2036

    excerpt:

    "Vladimir Putin has signed a law that will allow him to run for the presidency twice more in his lifetime, potentially keeping him in office until 2036.

    The Russian president signed the legislation on Monday, ending a year-long process to “reset” his presidential terms by rewriting the constitution through a referendum-like process that his critics have called a crude power grab.

    Putin has been Russia’s most powerful politician since he assumed the presidency in 2000, after the resignation of his predecessor, Boris Yeltsin.

    If he remains in power until 2036, his tenure will surpass even that of Joseph Stalin, who ruled the Soviet Union for 29 years, making Putin the longest-serving Moscow leader since the Russian empire."

    I wish the world would put maybe a ten billion dollar bounty on Putin's head: WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. It could be deposited into a Swiss bank account from an anonymous source so no country could be identified as having participated.

    Loyalty goes out the window when large sums of money are involved. Offering a financial reward would be a lot cheaper than going to war.

    The criminals Trump has pardoned have a knack for being repeat offenders.

    They need Trump in office again to pardon them again.


    Ex-Rand Paul aide charged with funneling Russian money into 2016 election

    excerpt:

    "A former campaign staffer and the grandson-in-law of US Senator Rand Paul who received a presidential pardon from former President Donald Trump has been charged with directing Russian money into the 2016 presidential election, according to the US Department of Justice.

    The announcement came on Monday via an unseal indictment from 9 September.

    Business Insider reports that Jesse Benton, Mr Paul's former aide, "conspired to illegally funnel thousands of dollars of foreign money from a Russian foreign national" into the 2016 campaign.

    He also managed Senator Mitch McConnell's 2014 campaign.

    Mr Benton received a $100,000 wire transfer from an unnamed Russian national in October of 2016, according to the indictment. He was allegedly promised that he would get to "meet a celebrity" at a Philadelphia fundraiser a month earlier."

    January 6 rioters attacked police with bear spray and WD-40, officers testify - Business Insider India

    excerpt:

    "Capitol Police Sgt. Adam DesCamp, who attempted to stop Reffitt with a pepper ball launcher, recalled how rioters pinned his arms and dismantled his weapon as he and other officers tried to hold a line. At one point, he said, a rioter pulled down his mask and sprayed him directly with WD-40 or brake cleaner, he said. Another rioter then used pepper spray on him.

    "They sprayed me with carbon choke cleaner or brake cleaner and put my mask back on my face," DesCamp said. "They pushed my mask aside again and used the bear spray and sprayed it directly into my face."

    DesCamp and Flood's testimony came days after a Capitol police officer who's since left the force, Shauni Kerkhoff, shared her own recollection of the January 6 attack and Reffitt's role in it.

    Their testimony had the combined effect of underscoring a key point of the prosecutors' case: While he did not enter the building itself, Reffitt led the angry mob that swelled and swarmed the Capitol on January 6."

    The GOP appealed the redistricting case to the U.S. Supreme Court after losing in the PA courts.

    The GOP lost.


    Court rejects GOP redistricting plans in NC, Pennsylvania

    excerpt:

    "WASHINGTON (AP) — In a victory for Democrats, the Supreme Court has turned away efforts from Republicans in North Carolina and Pennsylvania to block state court-ordered congressional districting plans.

    In separate orders late Monday, the justices are allowing maps selected by each state’s Supreme Court to be in effect for the 2022 elections. Those maps are more favorable to Democrats than the ones drawn by the states’ legislatures.

    In North Carolina, the map most likely will give Democrats an additional House seat in 2023.

    The Pennsylvania map also probably will lead to the election of more Democrats, the Republicans say, as the two parties battle for control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the midterm elections in November.

    While the court did not stop the court-ordered plans from being used in this year’s elections, four conservative justices indicated they want it to confront an issue that could dramatically limit the power of state courts over federal elections in the future. The Republicans argued that state courts lack the authority to second-guess legislatures’ decisions about the conduct of elections for Congress and the presidency."

    Trump's pardoned criminals need Trump to issue them prospective pardons that insulate them from possible future prosecution related to the crimes they've already committed, similar to what Ford issued to Nixon.
