The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump made him do it.


Capitol rioter apologises on CNN – and blames Trump for his actions

excerpt:

"One of the alleged Capitol rioters went on CNN to apologise for his actions – and to blame Donald Trump for calling on him and others to attack the Capitol.

Anthony Antonio appeared on CNN on Friday to offer a mea culpa for his participation in the botched insurrection that left five people dead."

 

Substitute teachers know everything, except how stupid they can be. Trust me, I'm working on the logistics and group theory permutations.

 

'Back pain' didn't stop Proud Boy from threatening police with axe handle during Capitol riot, DOJ says

DOJ: Back pain' didn't keep Proud Boy from Capitol riot | wusa9.com

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON — A Kansas Proud Boy charged in the Capitol riot has asked a judge to release him from jail due to chronic back pain – a condition, prosecutors say, which didn’t prevent him from allegedly wielding an axe handle against police outside the Capitol.

William Chrestman, 47, was arrested in February along with four others connected to the Kansas City chapter of the Proud Boys. Photos from the Capitol riot appear to show Chrestman in tactical gear and a respirator and carrying a wooden axe handle. He faces multiple charges, including conspiracy, civil disorder and threatening to assault a federal law enforcement officer.

A magistrate judge initially approved Chrestman’s pretrial release – but that decision was overturned by D.C. District Court Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell on February 23. Since then, the U.S. Army veteran has remained in custody in the D.C. Jail.

Chrestman’s attorneys have tried a number of strategies to explain his alleged actions and secure his release, including blaming former President Donald Trump. In a filing in February, Chrestman’s lawyers said he believed he had an “official endorsement” from Trump to participate in the storming of the Capitol.

“It is an astounding thing to imagine storming the United States Capitol with sticks and flags and bear spray, arrayed against armed and highly trained law enforcement. Only someone who thought they had an official endorsement would even attempt such a thing. And a Proud Boy who had been paying attention would very much believe he did,” they wrote."

 

An official endorsement from Trump.

In other words, Trump made him do it.

 

Yes Trump incited the riot and should be held accountable. I doubt he will be but he should be. The word "should" can be awfully weak when applied to Trump.

But those who took part in the riot, especially those who broke into the Capitol building, should be held accountable as well. Nobody made them do it. If you let yourself get conned into doing something stupid then both you and the con artist should suffer the consequences. And when the con leads to 30,000 gullible people committing a deadly atrocity the con artist should be in jail.

Western Pennsylvania man becomes latest in the Capitol riot arrests

excerpt:

"WASHINGTON D.C. (WTAJ) — A western Pennsylvania man was taken into custody Friday morning for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot in Washington D.C. according to a release from Unites States District Court.

Robert Morss of Glenshaw, Pa. was arrested by FBI-Pittsburgh on federal charges relating to criminal acts after investigators were able to identify him from various photos and videos taken during the riot. According to the release, agents spoke with multiple witnesses who knew Morss and were able to identify him from the pictures. One tipster reportedly told agents that Morss may have some mental health issues stemming from his military service."

 

Morss may also have some mental health issues stemming from his allegiance to Trump.

 

Trump-inspired death threats are terrorizing election workers

Trump-inspired death threats are terrorizing election workers

excerpt:

"Late on the night of April 24, the wife of Georgia’s top election official got a chilling text message: “You and your family will be killed very slowly.”

A week earlier, Tricia Raffensperger, wife of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, had received another anonymous text: “We plan for the death of you and your family every day.”

That followed an April 5 text warning. A family member, the texter told her, was “going to have a very unfortunate incident.”

Those messages, which have not been previously reported, illustrate the continuing barrage of threats and intimidation against election officials and their families months after former U.S. President Donald Trump’s November election defeat. While reports of threats against Georgia officials emerged in the heated weeks after the voting, Reuters interviews with more than a dozen election workers and top officials – and a review of disturbing texts, voicemails and emails that they and their families received – reveal the previously hidden breadth and severity of the menacing tactics."

 

They are Patriotic Terrorists! Its a free country.

 

Minnesota Man Charged in Jan. 6 Capitol Siege Was Prepared to Die and Leave Four Kids Behind: 'I Was At Peace With That Knowledge'

excerpt:

“I went to the Capitol not knowing what to expect but said goodbye to my 4 children, not sure if I was going to come home,” Mock wrote on Facebook on Jan. 8, according to federal documents charging Mock with multiple crimes. “I was at peace with that knowledge.”

Mock, 43, is one of the latest people to be arrested for crimes related to the siege on the U.S. Capitol, according to a statement from the Justice Department on Friday.

Citing court documents, the DOJ said that Mock was captured on body-worn camera footage “repeatedly assaulting multiple law enforcement officers who were trying to protect the building from rioters.” Mock reportedly shoved a U.S. Capitol Police officer to the ground and kicked him as another rioter grabbed the officer’s legs.

 

Trump-inspired death threats are terrorizing election workers

excerpt:

"The Raffenspergers – Tricia, 65, and Brad, 66 – began receiving death threats almost immediately after Trump’s surprise loss in Georgia, long a Republican bastion. Tricia Raffensperger started taking precautions. She canceled regular weekly visits in her home with two grandchildren, ages 3 and 5 – the children of her eldest son, Brenton, who died from a drug overdose in 2018.

“I couldn’t have them come to my house anymore,” she said. “You don’t know if these people are actually going to act on this stuff.”

In late November, the family went into hiding for nearly a week after intruders broke into the home of the Raffenspergers’ widowed daughter-in-law, an incident the family believed was intended to intimidate them. That evening, people who identified themselves to police as Oath Keepers – a far-right militia group that has supported Trump’s bid to overturn the election – were found outside the Raffenspergers’ home, according to Tricia Raffensperger and two sources with direct knowledge of the family’s ordeal. Neither incident has been previously reported.

“Brad and I didn’t feel like we could protect ourselves,” she said, explaining the decision to flee their home."

Former Marine from Georgia charged with assaulting officers in Capitol riot

excerpt:

"ATLANTA (Tribune News Service) — An Alpharetta man online insurgent hunters dubbed "the Mad Mongrel" has been charged with multiple felonies related to the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

The FBI arrested Kevin Douglas Creek, 46, Wednesday and charged him with assaulting two police officers on the West Terrace of the Capitol where some of the most intense violence of the day occurred between rioters and police defending the building. Still images taken from police body cameras appear to show Creek punching and kicking police.

The roofing contractor and father of two allegedly admitted to his participation in the riot in an interview with an FBI agent conducted in the presence of Creek's lawyer. According to the agent, Creek talked "in great detail" about his participation in the riot, drawing on a map of the Capitol where he was during the fighting and even admitting to being armed with "mace and a boot knife while at the U.S. Capitol," which could be an aggravating factor in his felony charges."

 

Well... You are pretty fucking stupid then.
