The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump's insurrection at the Capitol is consistent with Bannon's tenet of tearing down the government.

The way it worked out in the end, Bannon received a last-hour pardon from Trump, and Trump received his wish of creating a stink at the Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to overthrow the election.

John Dean Says Trump Deeply Linked To Insurrection, And Bannon Can Bare All

excerpt:

"“I think he could lead to Trump or those closest to Trump, and I do believe that the indications are that Trump is much more involved in this whole thing than we think he was,” said Dean, who served as White House counsel to Richard Nixon before flipping on him over the Watergate scandal.

“I think this committee is determined” to get answers, said Dean. “I hope, Jim, they get their act together and use the power they do have, which is inherent contempt powers” to crack down on Bannon, Dean added.

Committee chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) announced Thursday that the panel will seek criminal contempt charges against Bannon."

 

Ok, they will take away his library card and freeze his netflix account until he agrees to testify. Of course, with you or I, the Sherriff would be bang on the door with an arrest warrant and handcuffs.

 

Trump Lost Everything for the Republicans

excerpt:

"The results in the November and January elections underscore the peril that Trump leaves behind for the Republican Party. In both 2016 and 2020, Trump’s magic was his ability to turn out voters who either don’t always vote or have historically voted Democratic, especially white, non-college-educated voters. That was enough to put him over the top in 2016, and enough to create a scare for Biden (and pollsters) in 2020.

There are three problems with this approach. First, it wasn’t enough to give Trump a win in 2020. Second, these voters don’t appear to come out in the same numbers when Trump isn’t on the ballot. Third, Trump creates a backlash effect. Even without him on the ballot Tuesday night, Black voters turned out in droves and white suburban voters didn’t come home to the Republican Party. In short, Trump has broken the old Republican coalition, perhaps irrevocably, and created a new one that apparently exists when he’s up for election."

 

Article published January 4, 2021 about Trump's upcoming rally in Georgia on the eve of the U.S. Senate runoff elections the following day that the GOP ended up losing.

The article notes that the rally might be the last major one for Trump as president after a long, nonstop run of them that seemed to be trending increasingly conspiracy-oriented, erratic, incoherent, and ominous.

Trump had one more coming: the January 6 rally and the insurrection it precipitated.


Trump’s Erratic Election-Eve Rally

excerpt:

"Trump held rallies right up to Election Day 2016, commenced holding reelection rallies almost immediately upon taking office, and now continues to hold them even after losing the election. He never showed much interest in the hard work of governance, whether that was negotiating with Congress or fighting the coronavirus. The Dalton rally will be one of the last big rallies of Trump’s presidency, and it was a classic of the form: sometimes entertaining, often incoherent, always erratic, and entirely terrifying."

 

Cyber Ninjas hasn't released its records to the public. Judge Hannah ruled that it was obligated to release them.


Court says Cyber Ninjas must provide records | Arizona Capitol Times

excerpt:

"Instead, Wilenchik filed pleadings saying there is “zero legal authority” to order his client to respond directly to a public records request. And, if nothing else, he argued that forcing Cyber Ninjas to respond to the public denies the Senate, to which he said the records really belong, the ability to decide “the timing, manner, and form of the production of its own public records.”

Hannah, however, said that ignores a couple of facts.

“Under the unique circumstances of this case the Ninjas are a “public officer” within the plain meaning of the public records law,” he wrote.

He said “officer” means any person appointed to hold any office of a public body along with chief administrative officer, head, director, superintendent of chairman of any public body. And “public body” means any public organization or agency supported with state funds or spending state dollars.

“The Ninjas have been ‘appointed’ by the Senate as the “head” of the “public organization” conducting what the Ninjas describe as an “ongoing investigation of how Maricopa County conducted the 2020 election,” the judge wrote. Then there’s the fact the Senate is at least partly funding the audit with public monies “which makes the organization a ‘public body’ for purposes of the statute.”

And since Arizona law defines “corporations” as “persons,” that makes the company and “officer” — along with the Senate — to maintain and disclose public records."

 

The AZ senate released records.


Renegade Cyber Ninjas Brazenly Defies Senate Demand For Records In Arizona Vote 'Fraudit'

excerpt:

"Late last month, on a court-ordered deadline, the Senate released tens of thousands of records already in its possession, with many of them revealing the extremely partisan nature of the operation. Records revealed that the operation has been bankrolled by groups headed by former President Donald Trump’s ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn (nearly $1 million), conspiracy lawyer Sidney Powell ($550,000) and two correspondents from One American News Network ($605,000) — who gushed about the audit operation while paying for it."

 

Trump sues January 6 committee and National Archives.


Trump sues Jan. 6 committee, National Archives

excerpt:

"Donald Trump is suing the Jan. 6 select committee and the National Archives to block the release of his White House’s records related to the Capitol attack.

"The former president’s lawyers filed the suit in D.C. district court on Monday. It names the Jan. 6 panel’s chair, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), and the national archivist, David Ferriero, along with the committee and the archives. And it calls the Jan. 6 probe “a vexatious, illegal fishing expedition.”

In the lawsuit, Trump’s lawyers ask a federal judge to declare the entire request from the select committee to be invalid and to block the National Archives from turning over any materials to Congress in response to the request. They also specifically ask the court to block the Archives from turning over any documents that Trump says are covered by executive privilege.

And Trump’s team also asks for the court to have the Archives first identify all the documents from Trump’s White House that could be responsive to the request, and then let Trump’s lawyers review them in their entirety before sharing them with Congress. That process could take years."

 

Lock them up...

 

Lock this guy up too...

 

There was no Republican coalition, just a fucking lynch mob the GOP, Tea Party, Fox News, and talk radio inspired, which is why Donald Duck was able to steal their party from them. The assholes seriously believed they could spout endless nonsense for twenty years, and nobody would notice. Donald Duck noticed, because he's a lifelong Professional Wrestling fan and lowlife con artist who knows how to handle a lynch mob better than anyone in the GOP. Even if Donald Duck died tomorrow, the GOP would still keep sliding downhill, because their own constituents only care about voting for anyone willing to say they will destroy the federal government.

If you or I ran around spouting half the crap conservatives spout, we'd have our asses sued or thrown in jail for treason. Fuck em all, they shredded our constitution and rigged our elections, only to lose their own party to Donald Duck. My goal is to exploit all of their fucking lies for fun and for profit, and make even Fox News beg for mercy.

 

Commit to mental institution?

 

The AZ senate can argue that it has legislative privilege that gives it the right to not release some of the election audit records of Cyber Ninjas.

Trump is making a similar argument of executive privilege in an effort to keep documents private that the January 6 Select Committee is seeking.


Senate wants host of Ninja records protected | Arizona Capitol Times

excerpt:

"The trick now is actually getting them: Beauchamp told the judge the company is balking.

“Cyber Ninjas is not going to give to the Senate all of the documents that the Senate is obligated to produce pursuant to the Court of Appeals order and pursuant to this court’s order,” he said. So he wants Kemp to order the Senate to do more than simply send a letter.

If and when that happens, that still leaves Langhofer with his argument that some of what American Oversight wants is protected by legislative privilege. He said there’s a reason to keep certain documents secret, including things that lawmakers — and, in particular, Fann as Senate president — get from outside contractors like Cyber Ninjas.

“The quality of discussion inside the legislature, the advice that consultants and staffers give to the president will be muted,” Langhofer said. “If what you have to say, particularly when it goes against your own party’s base, is immediately available for public inspection … it will do lasting damage to the quality of discussion and argument behind closed doors of the legislature.”

 

Senate wants host of Ninja records protected | Arizona Capitol Times

excerpt:

"Kemp, however, suggested that the privilege is not as broad as Langhofer claims.

He said it would be one thing if lawmakers were deliberating on a specific piece of legislation.

“This is an audit, this is kind of an investigation,” the judge said.

“And there isn’t any proposed legislation or anything that they’re deliberating about,” he continued. “So how would the procedures and policies and the way that the audit was conducted, how would that chill deliberations?”"

 

That is true. Clinton handed Bush a balanced budget.

 

Looks like some Republicans are starting to pay attention ... to the Trump Bull Shit agenda.

 

They closed most of the mental institutions, but conservatives believe in eugenics, and I'm sure the SPCA would euthanize him, and save taxpayer dollars.

 

Self actualization ... might be spreading through Republicans?

 

Many knew exactly what kind of a disaster Donald Duck was the minute he ran for office. The problem is they organize like chickens, and criticizing one of their own is anathema, unless you can stomp them into the dirt. Conservatives love a winner, and hate a loser, but they can't agree on who is a winner, because they're all losers.

 

Trump uses Stop The Steal lawyer to sue Bennie Thompson.


Trump Uses ‘Stop the Steal’ Lawyer to Sue Jan. 6 Committee

excerpt:

"The lawsuit—filed on Monday in the District of Columbia’s federal court by “Stop the Steal” lawyer Jesse R. Binnall—goes after Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), who is leading the select committee, and David S. Ferriero, who has served as the official “Archivist” of the United States since November 2009 and is in charge of keeping presidential records and documents at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

The lawsuit lambasts the current congressional inquiry, calling it “a vexatious, illegal fishing expedition” that “has decided to harass President Trump and senior members of his administration (among others) by sending an illegal, unfounded, and overbroad records request” for his presidential papers at the National Archives."
