The Donald Trump Score Card

Zeldin hand-waves his way through his confirmation hearing.

Trump has nominated him to head the EPA.


Lee Zeldin, Trump’s E.P.A. Nominee, Is Short on Environmental Experience

 

Who Is Lee Zeldin?

excerpts:

He’s a booster of fossil fuels and promises to unleash “energy dominance.”

He has taken more than $410,000 from the oil and gas industry, and he questions the scientific consensus on climate change.

His voting record in Congress is mostly anti-environment, with an LCV lifetime score of just 14 percent.

He supported a few conservation efforts for his district.

He appears to be against clean energy funding and tried to gut public transit funding in New York.

 

Legal wrangling continues over whether to release Volume Two of Jack Smith report that pertains to the documents case.


DOJ aims to keep Trump out of Mar-a-Lago case as court mulls releasing full Jack Smith report

excerpt:

To hear the government tell it, the remaining controversy before Cannon just does not have anything to do with any of Trump’s rights – constitutional or federal. And, the government also says, if Trump really wants to keep the second volume of the report from seeing the light of day, he has chosen the wrong procedural vehicle.

“Intervention is unnecessary here, as the Defendants in the case are seeking the identical relief on which the intervention is predicated,” the motion continues. “If the President-elect seeks to prevent the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees from being permitted limited access to Volume Two of the Final Report, he could file his own civil action requesting that relief.”

 

“I did nothing wrong.”

But you can’t read about why.

 

With no trial for Giuliani, he can fly to DC to attend Trump's inauguration (after he said his health problems prohibited him from attending a contempt hearing).

 

The details about how much money Freeman and Moss may have received from Giuliani are not known. It's part of the settlement and may never be known.

 

Freeman, Moss, Giuliani, and the attorneys on both sides were probably worn down after a years-long battle that started in November 2020 with Giuliani's incessant lies about election workers Freeman and Moss.

They finally reached a settlement a few days before Trump's inauguration.

 

Biden has clinched a ceasefire and hostage release agreement in the Mideast conflict, an agreement that Trump will claim he, not Biden, achieved.

The author of the article is upset because she thinks Biden wasn't honest about his health (as if Trump and his incessant lies the next four years are going to be a better situation).

Trump posts blacklist.


Trump names and shames 11 people on his White House blacklist for second administration

excerpt:

“In order to save time, money, and effort, it would be helpful if you would not send, or recommend to us, people who worked with, or are endorsed by, Americans for No Prosperity (headed by Charles Koch), ‘Dumb as a Rock’ John Bolton, ‘Birdbrain’ Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, disloyal Warmongers Dick Cheney, and his Psycho daughter, Liz, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, General(?) Mark Milley, James Mattis, Mark Yesper, or any of the other people suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, more commonly known as TDS.”

 

Someone also bailed Giuliani.


Mystery over who bailed out Rudy Giuliani as he is allowed to keep World Series rings, Manhattan condo and Mercedes in deal with Georgia election workers he defamed... a day after Trump's 'Save Rudy' plea | Daily Mail Online

excerpt:

"Criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Randy Zelin suggested Trump or someone in his orbit could be the mysterious benefactor.

'There is no question that a betting person would say that's someone who is very interested in spending time in a warmer climate at Mar-a-Lago,' Zelin said.

Zelin also pointed to the influence of wealthy Trump allies who have previously donated to Trump's causes, including billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos who contributed to his inauguration committee.

'People understand that the next four years are going to be Trumpworld,' Zelin added.

'And someone decided to be that benevolent benefactor who will get something out of this.'"

 

It’s the least he could do considering that Giuliani experienced a total financial and mental collapse as a result of the association.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a harder fall from grace.

They can both rot.

Inauguration Moved Inside For First Time Since 1985 | Weather.com

excerpts:

"The weather for this year’s inauguration is forecast to somewhat mimic that of 1985, which took place on Jan. 21. The high temperature that day was 17 degrees, with sunny skies and afternoon wind chills in the minus 10 to minus 20-degree range. The parade was ultimately canceled, and the swearing-in ceremony had to be held indoors."


"The warmest January Inauguration Day took place in 1981 for Ronald Reagan’s first inauguration, meaning Reagan’s two inaugurations hold the record for the warmest and coldest January Inauguration."

Trump orders his inaugural to be moved indoors due to cold weather.


Trump swearing-in to move indoors due to cold weather, source tells Fox News

excerpt:

"President James Monroe’s inauguration was moved outside because the Capitol was so badly damaged after the War of 1812 when the British burned the building. That started the outdoors custom."

 

Ironic that Trump is moving his inauguration to inside the Capitol considering the outdoor custom started after the British attacked the U.S. Capitol and damaged it, a mass attack that wasn't seen again until Trump's rioters trashed it on Jan. 6.
