The Donald Trump Score Card

"It’s Hard To Overstate How Anti-Environment Donald Trump’s Cabinet Picks Are"

link to an article in Huffington Post today....yeah, I knew this....am not sure this is registering in some people's heads at all.
even if trump gets impeached for something down the road as a President...that leaves us with Pence?...probably just as bad and even worse in some ways. I give up.

You guys just don't learn do you. Get used to Trump.

 

Keep that in mind. Most of us will find that hard to do, but I'm sure you'll like him.

 

No. Every cell of my being rejects him. It is not a choice. I will never get used to him. You should just concentrate on how you are getting used to him and accepting him...at the expense of wildlife, etc.....and nevermind what I am getting used to or not.

 

Report him! Call the police, or Comey. Well, maybe not Comey.

 

Of course, they will pick his cabinet. They picked Pence, when he wanted Christie.

and of course, Trump will be the only law, as far as he is concerned.

The dictator and is monarchy....wonderful.

I could not even dream of fiction that bad.

 

This person shares my sentiments, exactly, about even calling him Mr. Trump....I do not have one ounce of respect for this disgusting person....I cannot even call him a human being.......and there are other issues he did not even scratch the surface of in this open letter in Daily News.

I’m not a sore loser. For my entire life, I have called the man who won the presidential election, be they a Democrat or a Republican, by their rightful title of President of the United States. I didn’t vote for Ronald or either George, but to me they were always President Reagan and President Bush. Under no circumstance will I be calling Donald Trump “President Trump,” or “Mr. President,” “POTUS,” “King,” or any other title that he may very well claim as his own.

I do not respect Donald Trump. Furthermore, my self-respect is not trumped by my respect for the office he will soon presumably hold. In fact, my respect for the office itself has deteriorated to almost nothing as each passing day brings him closer to it.

He is the man Mitt Romney described as “a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University.”

He is the man Rick Perry described as a “barking carnival act.”

Roger Staubach to Trump: Army, Navy deserve respect, not insults

He is the man Michael Bloomberg described as a “demagogue,” and added, “I'm a New Yorker. And I know a con when I see one.”

He is dangerous and disgusting. He is an offensive, conniving, self-absorbed, misogynistic bigot. He is a self-obsessed liar. He is a gross and gaudy materialist. He is an arrogant, thin-skinned, egomaniac.

New York Daily News front pages on the presidential election
Over the course of the primaries and presidential campaign, PolitiFact, the widely respected nonpartisan political watchdog, evaluated 340 different statements made by Donald Trump. Sixty-one of them were outrageous “pants on fire” lies. An astounding 114 of them were absolutely false. Another 63 were mostly false. That means 70% of the unique statements made by Donald Trump and fact-checked by Politifact were mostly false, completely false, or outrageous lies. Another 51 of those statements were deemed to be only half true. When it was all said and done, only 4% of what Donald Trump said was determined to be completely true.

His first wife, in a sworn deposition, stated that in a rage he raped and assaulted her. Ivana later said she didn’t want her description to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.

KING: Allen West asked back to Trump Tower after anti-Muslim meme

He then began an affair with his soon-to-be second wife while he was married to his first wife.

He has no moral compass. His life is not guided by any redeemable ethics or values.

While he was married to his third wife, he was recorded openly bragging about his attempts to sleep with other married women, then proceeded to explain how he forces himself on women he is attracted to by kissing them without permission and, when he wants, Trump stated that he will “grab them by the p---y.”

At least 16 different women have now accused this man of either sexual assault or sexual harassment. Many of these women told their friends and family about the incidents when they took place at various points over the past few decades.

KING: Even Frosted Flakes dumps Breitbart — because they’re hate

Donald Trump’s lack of personal morality alone prevents me from having any respect for the man. His election was not a magic potion for me in which I now suddenly forget what he has said and done to so many women. It might work that way for Mitt Romney or Ted Cruz, but I’m simply not willing to look past these things. None of us should.

In the primaries, Donald Trump shared a white supremacist meme falsely claiming that 81% of white murder victims are killed by African-Americans. This was a complete fabrication. The overwhelming majority of all murder victims are killed by people within their own race. In the wake of sharing this, he refused to apologize for the damage it caused or its inaccuracy. That’s not his way.

He has done these things over and over and over and over again. Fortune Magazine did an entire spread on his online ties to white supremacists. White supremacists have openly professed their love and admiration of him. Neo-Nazi’s openly performed the Nazi salute in response to his victory.

Donald Trump openly proposed banning all Muslims from entering the United States. He bragged that he would deport 450,000 undocumented immigrants per month for 24 straight months until they were all gone.

His campaign was built on the momentum of these early xenophobic promises. It was what allowed him to separate from the pack of his 17 different opponents.

Again, the man made himself an enemy of the people I know and love.

His election has not stopped his foolishness.

He attacked the cast of Hamilton on Twitter. He repeatedly attacks the cast of “Saturday Night Live” on Twitter. He attacked a union leader on Twitter. He told outright lies about the millions and millions of fake votes that were cast in the presidential election.

SEE IT: Donald Trump caught on hot mic spewing sexist chatter

Worse than that, he has appointed Steve Bannon as his Chief Strategist. Bannon is a vulgar, abusive, allegedly anti-Semitic, white supremacist bigot. Companies all over the world are blacklisting the company that Steve Bannon most recently oversaw, Breitbart, because they are deeming it to violate their rules for hate speech.

This month alone Donald Trump has twice invited Allen West to Trump Tower in spite of the fact that West shared a meme on his Facebook page advocating for the full extermination of all Muslims from the world.

He nominated a new head of the Environmental Protection Agency who has actively sued the EPA.

He nominated executive after executive from Goldman Sachs in spite of saying during the campaigns that Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton would be beholden to the firm.

KING: Troubled times bring a renaissance of black art, culture

He nominated Rick Perry to head up the Department of Energy when Perry himself famously said he would disband the department. Furthermore, Perry sits on the board of Energy Transfer Partners — the company overseeing the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The nominated the CEO of ExxonMobil to be his Secretary of State.

The CIA is openly saying that Russia, who is a close ally to the CEO of Exxon Mobil, deliberately and successfully fought against Hillary Clinton to sway the results of the election in favor of Donald Trump.

I don’t care if Kanye and Jim Brown kiss his ring and take affectionate selfies with Trump every day for the next four years, that foolishness means nothing to me. Trump is a terrible human being and his many flagrant violations simply preclude me from ever being able to muster up enough respect to even call the man Mr. Trump. I damn sure won't call him President Trump. Not now. Not ever."

 

You're doing it to yourselves by constantly apologizing for a system that fundamentally rejects you. Trump is all of your doing, but of course I accept none of the blame.

It's now or never, but it seems half of the Democratic base is going to keep pimping establishment agenda, and we progressives aren't having it. So if you really want to fuck with us again for the next four years, have at it hoss. Enjoy eight years of Trump. He's your choice, not mine.

 

And Social Security is next.

 

^^^^ :yikes:


NOOOOOOO! :bigcry:


See, I fall into the category of people that is planning on drawing early retirement at 62, in 2 yrs.

I'm scared shitless basically wondering if all of this is going to disappear. WTH!

 

My red was turning to white earlier, and it is a good thing a friend listened to me rant on the phone and knew what to say to calm me down before i came here now. What i had to say earlier was not very pretty...

Anyway....

GO Schneiderman!!!!!! and those like you...in New York Times today....


full article as a link here...as I may have missed some in my copy and paste....i just noticed...

One attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, is already investigating Donald J. Trump over possible violations of New York State law at his charity foundation.

Another, Maura Healey of Massachusetts, has joined Mr. Schneiderman in an investigation into whether Exxon Mobil — whose chief executive, Rex W. Tillerson, is Mr. Trump’s choice for secretary of state — lied to investors and the public about the threat of climate change.

Ms. Healey also has a new fund-raising pitch: “I won’t hesitate to take Donald Trump to court if he carries out his unconstitutional campaign promises,” she recently wrote to supporters.

A third, Representative Xavier Becerra, who was chosen this month to become California’s attorney general, has dared the Trump administration to “come at us” over issues including immigration, climate change and health care.

As Democrats steel themselves for the day next month when the White House door will slam on their backs, some of the country’s more liberal state attorneys general have vowed to use their power to check and balance Mr. Trump’s Washington.

If the Trump administration withdraws from environmental, antitrust or financial regulations, the attorneys general say they will plug regulatory holes that may gape wide open, deploying state laws like New York’s Martin Act, which allows the state attorney general to pursue wide-ranging investigations on Wall Street.

They have pledged to defend undocumented immigrants, and to combat hate crimes that many believe were unleashed by Mr. Trump’s polarizing campaign.

And if Mr. Trump’s policies veer toward the unconstitutional, several of the 10 current and incoming Democratic attorneys general interviewed recently said they would apply a remedy favored by Mr. Trump himself: a lawsuit.

The strategy could be as simple as mirroring the blueprint laid out by their Republican colleagues, who made something of a legal specialty of tormenting President Obama. Conservative attorneys general in states including Texas, Virginia and Florida have sued the Obama administration dozens of times, systematically battering Mr. Obama’s signature health care, environmental and immigration policies in the courts.

One of them, Scott Pruitt, the attorney general of Oklahoma, who used his office to bayonet Mr. Obama’s clean-energy regulations, was just chosen by Mr. Trump to become the new head of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Mr. Schneiderman — who established himself early as a nuisance to Mr. Trump when he sued him over Trump University, negotiating a $25 million settlement — pounced on the Pruitt selection, calling him “an agent of the oil and gas industry” and promising to push an E.P.A. under Mr. Pruitt to uphold environmental laws. Ms. Healey has also expressed concern about the nominations of Mr. Pruitt and Mr. Tillerson.

The jockeying to begin hostilities with the Trump administration is a measure of how the country’s widening political divide has transformed the offices of state attorneys general into legal laboratories and sharpened them into political scalpels.

They were once primarily local law enforcement figures who rarely pursued issues beyond state borders. But with the growth of their clout and ambition over the last three decades, they have become magnets for lobbyists, campaign donors and other corporate representatives looking to intervene in regulatory policy and tip investigations, a New York Times investigation found in 2014.

Under President Bill Clinton, attorneys general pioneered the major multistate lawsuit that has served as a model for interstate collaboration since, with nearly all the states joining together to win a groundbreaking settlement with the tobacco industry. Liberal states later collaborated to force the E.P.A. under President George W. Bush to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, winning a Supreme Court decision that made it easier for the states to sue the federal government.

It was under Mr. Obama that states came into their own as political activists. One group of Republican attorneys general began holding weekly conference calls to strategize ways to weaken the Affordable Care Act months before it became law in March 2010, filing their lawsuit minutes after Mr. Obama signed the bill.

For the moment, the precise shape of Trump-branded targets is hard to make out. At the annual meeting of the National Association of Attorneys General in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., two weeks ago, bipartisan bewilderment about the president-elect’s true intentions abounded. (Republican state attorneys general will slightly outnumber Democrats in 2017.)

“People are coming up to me and saying, ‘What’s going to happen?’” said James E. Tierney, a former attorney general of Maine, who ran a program studying attorneys general at Columbia Law School. Mr. Tierney, a Democrat, now lectures at Harvard Law School. “There’s a lot of eye-rolling down here, in both parties, like, ‘Oh my God.’”

Even as attorneys general from blue strongholds like California, Massachusetts and New York hasten to brand themselves as leaders of the opposition, many of their Democratic colleagues are striking a less antagonistic note as they wait to see how Mr. Trump will govern.

One incoming attorney general, T.J. Donovan of Vermont, said he was ready to collaborate with the federal government to tackle the heroin epidemic in his state, among other issues — and to dissent when necessary. “Let’s be patient and wait and see what happens,” he said. “But at the same time, let’s be prepared.”

Mr. Schneiderman, it seems, is not straining to give Mr. Trump the benefit of the doubt. Since Election Day, he said in an interview, he has spoken to several attorneys general about teaming up, as Democratic attorneys general have already done to defend Mr. Obama’s clean-power plan against Republican legal challenges.

“Life just got a lot more exciting for those of us at the state level who are now the first line of defense,” said Mr. Schneiderman, adapting a favorite catchphrase of Republican attorneys general.

Their litigiousness turned attorneys general like Greg Abbott, now the governor of Texas, into right-wing luminaries. He often rallied crowds by saying, “I go to the office in the morning, I sue Barack Obama, and then I go home.”

Next year, there is likely to be no shortage of Democrats who can say the same about Mr. Trump.

The states’ rights arguments that Republicans have made gospel for nearly eight years — that states must serve as a check against federal overreach — are likely to become convenient for Democrats. So are the legal tactics that Republican attorneys general used to stifle Obama administration programs, including filing lawsuits in front of friendly local judges to win nationwide injunctions against policies they hoped to stop, said Amanda Frost, a professor at American University’s Washington College of Law.

With Mr. Trump’s ascension, attorneys general of both parties may shuck any remaining veneer of nonpartisanship, even as they continue to wade across party boundaries on investigations involving consumer protection or pharmaceutical pricing.

According to Paul Nolette, a political-science professor at Marquette University, who studies attorneys general, Republican attorneys general filed partisan legal briefs in only five Supreme Court cases during the Clinton administration, a figure that rose to 97 in the first seven years of the Obama administration.

“Things are being driven more by partisan politics,” Mr. Nolette said. “On virtually every hot-button issue you can imagine, A.G.s are signaling where they stand.”

As Mr. Abbott and Mr. Pruitt found, there are certain advantages to occupying a high-profile law enforcement office with an anti-Washington megaphone.

Josh Shapiro, the incoming Democratic attorney general of Pennsylvania, said he had turned down a run for the Senate this year in favor of the attorney general race. “I believe it to be the most impactful job in government today,” he said.

Other Democrats said they were watching how Mr. Trump would treat the Consumer Financial Protection Board and the Federal Trade Commission.

Under Mr. Obama, attorneys general have grown used to working closely with both agencies on consumer and antitrust issues — “It’s been the golden years,” said Tom Miller, the longtime Democratic attorney general of Iowa — and several said they feared federal regulatory might would shrivel under the new administration, leaving states to try to hold the line with far fewer resources.

“I don’t want to pick fights before there are fights,” said Brian Frosh, the Democratic attorney general of Maryland. “But based on the campaign, there’s cause for concern.”
