The Donald Trump Score Card

Trump is a wannabe athlete who is paid the 10th highest of real American athletes.


We Calculated How Much We Pay Trump to Play Golf. It Turns Out, He's America's 10th Highest Paid Athlete

excerpt:

"Using Forbes’ list of highest-paid athletes, Trump ties for 10th among America’s best-paid athletes and 17th in the world. Trump’s “salary” is the same as Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout’s, whose 12-year, $426.5 million deal was the richest contract in the history of team sports."

 

Fixed!

 

Trump wanted Raffensperger of GA and officials of other swing states he lost in 2020 to use the Sharpie pen to make him the winner.

 

Injuries sustained by one of the police officers defending the Capitol during Trump's insurrection. His foot was stitched in various places.

An officer lost the end of his finger and another was stabbed in the eye and lost the use of his eye.

Prosecutors break down charges, convictions for 725 arrested so far in Jan. 6 attack on U.S. Capitol

excerpt:

"Of those arrested, 225 people were charged with assault or resisting arrest. More than 75 of those were charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon against police officers. The office said 140 police officers, including Capitol officers and members of the D.C. police department, were victimized during the attack.

The office said about 10 individuals were charged with assaulting members of the media or destroying their equipment.

Some 640 people were charged with entering a restricted federal building or its grounds. And another 75 were charged with entering a restricted area with a deadly weapon.

Prosecutors in the office have been working with the FBI as well as prosecutors in various locations around the nation. The office said the individuals arrested come from nearly all 50 states.

One person, 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt of California, was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer as she tried to breach a set of doors deep in the Capitol during the riot. Federal prosecutors later cleared the officer of any wrongdoing in Babbitt’s death.

According to a May estimate by the Architect of the Capitol, the attack caused about $1.5 million worth of damage to the building.

About 165 individuals, the office said, have pleaded guilty to a variety of federal charges, from misdemeanors to felony obstruction.

So far, 70 defendants have received some kind of sentence from a judge. Of those, 31 people were ordered jailed, and 18 were sentenced to home detention. The remaining 21 defendants were placed on probation."

excerpt:

"In early December, Robert Scott Palmer, 54, of Largo, Fla., received the longest prison sentence to date among those convicted in the attack. A U.S. District Court judge sentenced him to more than five years in prison.

In October, Palmer pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon. Prosecutors said Palmer broke into the Capitol building and, while inside, threw a wooden plank at police officers; then, they said, while he was on the front line of the riot, he sprayed police officers with a fire extinguisher and hurled the emptied extinguisher at the officers. No officers, prosecutors said, were injured."

 

‘We just have to limit the damage that he's causing’: Republican governor on risk Trump poses to a party that otherwise teems with 2022 confidence

excerpt:

"Lest there be any doubt, Republicans dominated the off-year elections this fall across Virginia, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, where Democrats in races from governor to county recorder of deeds were defeated — or barely held on — in regions that Biden had comfortably carried by more than 10 percentage points a year earlier. Perhaps most disturbing for Democrats, suburban voters and independents who fled Trump’s Republican Party in recent years to some degree appeared to have shifted back without him on the ballot.

Democratic strategists privately concede that the party will be lucky to hold either congressional chamber in November, although the House may be in the most immediate peril.

They point to the surge of recent Democratic congressional retirements, dozens of Republican-controlled state legislatures that are actively reshaping House districts in the GOP’s favor, a struggle to enact all of Biden’s campaign promises, and a disengaged political base — especially African Americans. Their priorities on policing and voting rights have gone unfulfilled in Democratic-controlled Washington, even after last year’s supposed national awakening on race."

 

‘We just have to limit the damage that he's causing’: Republican governor on risk Trump poses to a party that otherwise teems with 2022 confidence

excerpt:

Already, Trump has endorsed 60-plus Republican candidates and plans to weigh in on dozens more contests. That including Missouri’s combative Senate primary in which conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt recently begged Trump not to endorse Eric Greitens, a divisive former governor.

Headwinds for Democrats: Even if Trump’s politics hurt his party over the coming months, history suggests it may not matter. Just once this century has the party holding the White House not lost congressional seats in the first midterm election of a new presidency. That was in 2002, after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

 

‘We just have to limit the damage that he's causing’: Republican governor on risk Trump poses to a party that otherwise teems with 2022 confidence

excerpt:

"Democrats lost 54 seats in the House and eight in the Senate under President Bill Clinton in 1994. They lost 63 House seats and another six Senate seats under President Barack Obama in 2010. In 2018, Republicans lost 40 House seats under Trump, while gaining a pair in the Senate."

 

I Predicted the Culture Wars Would End in 2021. Oops.

excerpt:

"While Biden as president has delivered on his promise to revert the White House to a policy-making and governing apparatus after its four-year stint as a clearinghouse for cultural grievance, the rest of American politics have refused to follow suit. A disproportionate number of this year’s hot-button political stories — from “cancel culture,” to critical race theory, to the base-pleasing, antagonistic antics of House Republicans like Reps. Matt Gaetz and Madison Cawthorn — have been less substantial political debates than attitudinal ones, about the public character of American life and our rhetorical treatment of its history.

The Biden presidency might have begun on January 20, but in nearly every other way that matters, the “Trump era” never ended.

The 45th president’s all-conflict-all-the-time mode of politics has stuck around past his administration’s expiration date because, for one, it turns out that it just works. Consider Glenn Youngkin’s come-from-behind victory in the Virginia gubernatorial election, driven by animus over local school curriculums and hyper-cautious, blue-state attitudes about Covid restrictions, or the massive fundraising hauls of GOP hopefuls still largely following Trump’s playbook of cultural grievance. Conservative media has continued its dominance by way of a series of ephemeral cultural skirmishes, over everything from Dr. Seuss to an imagined ban on hamburgers. “Let’s Go Brandon,” the thinly-veiled anti-Biden epithet, became a common sports arena chant and cultural phenomenon. Debates over Covid restrictions and vaccine mandates long ago left the realm of the scientific, continuing to rage this year as a proxy for longstanding cultural disagreements."

 

I Predicted the Culture Wars Would End in 2021. Oops.

excerpt:

"It’s not an optimal position to be in for a party whose cultural vanguard is far outside the mainstream, and who doesn’t have the benefit of Fox News’ grievance engine backing them up 24 hours a day, seven days a week. But if there’s any solace for liberals and anyone else who might lament the seemingly-never-ending Trump era, it’s this: On both sides of the conflict, the number of true janissaries is quite small. Biden won his narrow victory by identifying this, and correctly betting that a broad coalition of suburbanites, non-white voters and persuadable independents all sick of Trump’s inflammatory approach would be enough to take him over the top."

 

Congress confronts limitations on preventing Trump-style attack on presidential certification

excerpt:

"Until the Electoral Count Act, the only requirement for the counting of Electoral College votes appeared in the Twelfth Amendment, which requires the House and Senate to meet in the presence of the vice president and count ballots delivered by the states. If no candidate gets a majority, the amendment sends the election to the House.

The Electoral Count Act sought to fill in the gaps, setting up a process and deadlines for states to certify their election results and requiring a joint session of Congress to be held on Jan. 6 after every presidential election. It asks the vice president to preside and read returns from each state, while empowering lawmakers to challenge the validity of certain electors.

Trump, seizing on ambiguities in the statute, pressured Pence to refuse to count dozens of Biden electors. The then-president also deputized allies in Congress to lodge as many challenges as possible, to try to delay certification of Biden’s victory. Pence’s refusal to go along turned Trump supporters against the vice president: some of the mob chanted “Hang Mike Pence” during the insurrection.

A year later, Electoral Count Act reform remains a low-profile pillar of the Jan. 6 select panel’s mission, with Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), spearheading the effort. Lofgren, who chairs the separate House committee that oversees elections, and her colleagues are hoping to specifically address weaknesses in the law that Trump and his allies sought to exploit."

 

Some of the TV news media personalities still accidentally refer to Trump as president Trump. They usually correct themselves later by saying former president Trump.


MSNBC's 'Deadline: White House' mentions Trump more than twice as often as Biden

excerpt:

"Maybe it's time to change the show's name to "Deadline: Mar-a-Lago."

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, host of "Deadline: White House," and her guests discussed former President Trump about two-and-a-half times as often as President Biden in 2021, despite the latter being the current office-holder.

A Grabien transcript search found the word "Trump" was uttered on the show 11,668 times from Jan. 20, when Biden succeeded Trump, to Dec. 30. As for Biden, his name was mentioned just 4,710 times, nearly 2.5 times less often on Wallace's program, which airs weekdays from 4-6 p.m. ET and features a mixture of reporters and left-leaning pundits."

 

Fox continues to refer to him as president Trump.
