The Donald Trump Score Card

Yeah, right. A 2-day, 340-mile fishing trip to DC in January.

 

New London man faces charges in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Jeremy K. Baouche had secret clearance at Electric Boat.

excerpt:

"On Aug. 4, investigators reviewed information provided by Google from the previous search warrant. They obtained videos that appeared to be taken inside and outside the Capitol building. They also found email confirmation for a reservation for a Washington, D.C., motel for Jan. 5 to Jan. 6.

Baouche appeared in court in New Haven on Wednesday and was released on a $100,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear remotely over videoconference to face prosecution by the U.S. attorney’s office for the District of Columbia on Nov. 18."

Trump boasted that his carefully timed return to the White House after being hospitalized for COVID-19 was 'like a Broadway production': book

excerpt:

"Trump thought about ripping off his dress shirt to reveal a Superman shirt underneath, but reconsidered."

 

FBI: "Where were you on January 5 and 6, 2021?"

Baouche: "I was, er..., on a fishing trip with my grandfather. Yeah, that's the ticket!"

The last couple of years have not been good to Alex Jones. First his wife divorced him, (and probably took half of his shit) then he was banned from every popular media platform, and now he will have to pay out millions to crisis actors

Alex Jones Found Guilty in Sandy Hook Defamation Suits

Alex Jones will be responsible for financial damages to several families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting who sought to hold the far-right radio host and provocateur responsible for propagating lies that the tragedy was a hoax, a Connecticut judge ruled Monday.

Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis said Mr. Jones was guilty by default after failing to produce court-ordered discovery, court officer Ronald Ferraro confirmed. The ruling combines three lawsuits, according to a spokesperson for the plaintiffs’ attorney.

A jury in Connecticut will determine the amount Mr. Jones owes the families in a trial scheduled to begin in August 2022.

Mr. Jones was given every opportunity to comply but, when he chose instead to withhold evidence for more than two years, the Court was left with no choice but to rule as it did today,”

 

January 6 Trump rally was a who’s who of Trump dead-enders

January 6 Trump rally was a who’s who of Trump dead-enders

excerpt:

"One speaker after another—12 of them—told the crowd to be angry, to believe that the election had been stolen, to believe that America itself was being stolen from them. (The not-very-buried subtext was “stolen from white people.”)

Two of the speakers were current members of the House of Representatives: Mo Brooks and Madison Cawthorn, the former telling the crowd to “start taking down names and kicking ass” and the latter urging them to hold members of Congress “accountable” if they didn’t try to overturn the election. A motion to censure Brooks didn’t get through the House Ethics Committee.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was another public official of the state, accusing states that counted their votes and named President Biden the winner of having “capitulated.” After the attack on the Capitol, he did not join every other state attorney general in signing on to a statement condemning the violence. Paxton faces legal trouble, but it’s not because of this—it’s because he’s extremely corrupt.

Other speakers included Trump’s sons Don Jr. and Eric, as well as Trump campaign fundraiser/Don’s girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle and Eric’s wife, Lara. Daddy Trump “has more fight in him than every other one combined, and they need to stand up and we need to march on the Capitol today,” Eric told the crowd. Don Jr. said, “You have an opportunity today: You can be a hero, or you can be a zero. And the choice is yours but we are all watching.”"

 

January 6 Trump rally was a who’s who of Trump dead-enders

excerpt:

"Then there was the usual assortment of Trump hangers-on, people eager to elevate themselves by associating with him, to suck up to him by lying to his supporters, to bask in the cheering of an angry crowd themselves: former campaign adviser Katrina Pierson; personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani; “Women for America First” head Amy Kremer, who had done much of the rally organizing; law professor and conspiracy theorist John Eastman; former Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones, who announced from the stage that he was becoming a Republican.

All of these people are terrible in one way or another. They all participated in inciting the crowd to violence—to believing that violence was righteous rather than an effort to overturn a democratic election. The public officials who participated—Brooks, Cawthorn, Paxton—bear some special blame for encouraging an attack on democracy itself and, in the former two cases, on their own coworkers. So, yeah, they should all be shunned and disdained and booed when they show their faces in public.

But Donald Trump is the root of it all."

excerpt:

"Stone is a longtime adviser to Trump, while Jones is a radio and Web-streaming host behind Infowars.com. Both are frequent purveyors of conspiracy theories: Stone wrote a book suggesting Lyndon B. Johnson was behind John F. Kennedy’s assassination; Jones has spread and retracted claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a “hoax.”

All three amplified and intensified Trump’s incendiary and baseless claims that the 2020 election was illegitimate in the weeks leading up to the riot. But Stone and Alexander have directly credited each other with inspiring and planning the pro-Trump Stop the Steal campaign, with Alexander saying he came up with the idea and helped organize the Jan. 6 rally that drew Trump supporters to Washington. Stone and Jones also promoted the extremist groups Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and had preexisting business or personal ties with members the government has charged with coordinating and planning certain parts of the breach or in connection with violence at an earlier Trump rally, records and documents show."

 

What next for Alex Jones, America’s foremost conspiracy theorist?

excerpt:

"But he has also caused untold upset by insisting the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in Connecticut in 2012 was staged by the state and that victims’ families were paid actors (he has made similar claims about the moon landing, the 1995 Oklahoma bombing, and 9/11), with the Texas Supreme Court recently paving the way for the bereaved parents involved to sue him after throwing out his attempt to dismiss four defamation lawsuits instigated against him.

Fighting that legal battle is likely to continue to occupy him for the present but the split with the QAnon tribe and the loss of Mr Trump from the Oval Office means he will need to find new themes to hawk on The Alex Jones Show in between its busy schedule of vitamin supplement commercials.

No doubt the new Joe Biden administration, the battle for the soul of the Republican Party and the “cancel culture” epidemic apparently going after Dr Seuss, Speedy Gonzalez and Pepe Le Pew will continue to give him plenty of food for thought.

In the meantime, we can expect plenty more wild-eyed paranoia about “globalists systematically feminising us to sell over-priced nutraceuticals”, as John Oliver once so memorably described his business model."

Lawrence W. Britt: 14 Characteristics of Fascism

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.

Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, and long incarcerations of prisoners.

Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists…

Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.

Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation.

Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation or by sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Government censorship and secrecy, especially in war time, are very common.

Obsession with National Security
Fear of hostile foreign powers is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.

Religion and Government are Intertwined
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.

Protection of Corporate Power Protected
The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.

Suppression of Labor Power
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed .

Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.

Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.

Fraudulent Elections
Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Just in case you need a refresher...

 

In the U.S. it has gone beyond a conventional preoccupation with the U.S. flag.

Trump's insurrectionists were beating police officers at the Capitol with American flags.

One of Trump's rioters removed a U.S. Flag from the side of the Capitol and let it fall to the ground. He tried to replace it with a Trump flag.

MAGA rioter, Bauer, claims she has learned the errors of her ways.


MAGA rioter who echoed sovereign citizen talking points now says she's 'learned the error' of her ways

excerpt:

"Pauline Bauer, a self-proclaimed "sovereign citizen" who was jailed ahead of trial for her involvement in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, seems to be having a slight change of heart, according to NBC4 reporter Scott MacFarlane.

Bauer, a restaurant owner from Pennsylvania, is accused of shouting "Bring Nancy Pelosi out here now. We want to hang that f*cking b*tch. Bring her out," while storming the Capitol.

She was kept in jail pre-trial due to her outbursts in court, where she claimed that the court has "no dominion over a living soul," and that she as "a right to my self-determination!""

 

Do not believe this woman...

 

Bauer is as believable as the pathological liar Tommy Flanagan on SNL.

 

take away her citizenship.
