The Donald Trump Score Card

Mandel ran for a U.S. Senate seat and lost to Sherrod Brown.

Mandel ran again for the U.S. Senate but dropped out of the race after saying it was because of a health condition of his wife that was never disclosed.

He's running for Senate a third time, this time with full Trump outlandish rhetoric, with the hope of obtaining Trump's endorsement.

 

Putin ‘channeling his inner Trump’ at Moscow rally, says Sean Hannity

excerpt:

"Vladimir Putin was “channeling his inner Trump” when he staged a huge rally in Moscow to trumpet his invasion of Ukraine, Sean Hannity said on Friday.

On a day when the Russian foreign minister praised Fox News for “trying to present some alternative point of view”, and amid controversy over Fox News hosts and guests repeating Russian disinformation, Hannity also mocked Joe Biden and read out a Kremlin statement attacking the US president.

First, on his his radio show, Hannity said: “It looks like Vladimir Putin is channeling his inner Donald Trump. He had a what looked like, it almost looked like the big house in Michigan – their football stadium I think holds 110,000 people.”

The Putin rally was staged in the Luzhniki Stadium, which holds 81,000 and which hosted the 2018 World Cup final."

 

Putin ‘channeling his inner Trump’ at Moscow rally, says Sean Hannity

excerpt:

"As the Guardian reported, Putin spoke from a stage featuring slogans such as “For a world without Nazism” and “For our president”, and told “a large flag-waving crowd” Russia “hasn’t seen unity like this in a long time”.

Trump has repeatedly praised Putin for being “smart” regarding Ukraine, though he has also condemned the invasion.

Hannity is an ardent supporter of the former president with close knowledge of Trump’s rallies, having appeared at one in Missouri in 2018. That earned him a reprimand from his employer, as did his endorsement of Trump in a campaign video in 2016. In the 2020 campaign, Hannity reportedly wrote Trump a campaign ad.

On his primetime show on Fox News on Friday night, Hannity said the Moscow rally was Putin’s “best attempt to look like Donald Trump”."

 

I never liked Portman... But with this current crop of lunatics vying for his seat... Portman will be missed.

 

People's Convoy Battles Imaginary Antifa Drivers, Traffic And A Lack Of Downtown Parking
Because average people could never get angry at idiots tying up traffic, blaring their horns and wasting gas

People's Convoy Battles Imaginary Antifa Drivers, Traffic And A Lack Of Downtown Parking

excerpt:

"In a completely predictable turn of events, the People’s Convoy have groups splintering off from the main protest to try and find ways into D.C. proper, though they are finding conditions less than favorable. While some managed to get an unexplained escort through town by D.C. Metro police, protesters are mostly claiming they’re being harassed by Antifa as residents go about their daily lives now made more difficult by the presence of huge trucks purposefully slowing down already bad traffic.

Two days ago, our favorite reporter on the ground, Daily Beast’s Zachary Petrizzo, reported this exchange:

It’s almost as if they can’t even imagine a scenario where they aren’t viewed as heroes by regular people. This isn’t the first time truckers have blamed that shadowy Antifa “organization” for their woes. Vice also spoke to a grad student who is researching far-right movements and keeps an ear to the ground on trucker’s Telegram channels:"

 

People's Convoy Battles Imaginary Antifa Drivers, Traffic And A Lack Of Downtown Parking

excerpt:

"The truckers who’ve been snarling traffic on the Beltway that surrounds Washington for several weeks are a bit of a jumpy bunch. Antifa could be anyone and anything. A car cutting off a trucker a bit aggressively, a commuter flipping the bird at them, or just people in vehicles they don’t like? Must be antifa.

“Sometimes they just don’t like the look of the car and they assume it’s antifa,” said Sara Aniano, a graduate student studying far-right rhetoric who has been watching the convoy for weeks. “It does seem like any car that is driving some sort of way that does not align with their ideal of driving is labeled as a possible instigator.”

Aniano said it’s possible some of the truckers just don’t understand how rough driving can be on the Beltway, so “regular commuter traffic and possibly a bit of road rage comes off as a deliberate antagonist aggravation.”

Regardless, barely a livestream goes by without a protester peering out the window and muttering about “antifa.”"

 

Gableman, the Grand Poobah of the WI forensic investigation of the 2020 election, has said he doesn't know how elections work.


Ex-Judge Leading GOP Election Review Says He Doesn’t Get ‘How Elections Work’

 

What goes around, comes around...

When I see a trucker driving aggressively, flipping the bird at somebody? Must be a moron.

 

That guy is a damn gem ... Republican gem!

 

Bonenberger busted.


Western Pa. man turns himself in on Jan. 6 charges

excerpt:

"PITTSBURGH, Pa. (WTAJ) — A western Pennsylvania man turned himself in to the FBI Friday morning on federal charges related to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Jordan Bonenberger of Cranberry Township, Butler County, was wanted for his participation at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 when supporters of Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Bonenberger is facing federal charges of entering and remaining in a restricted building, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building, disorderly conduct in a capitol building and parading, demonstrating or picketing in a capitol building."

 

https://www.usnews.com/news/best-st...udge-finds-4-new-voting-laws-unconstitutional

excerpt:

"LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas judge on Friday struck down four new voting restrictions passed by Republican lawmakers, finding the measures unconstitutional.

Pulaski County Circuit Judge Wendell Griffen issued a permanent injunction against the new voting laws at the end of a four-day trial in a challenge brought by the League of Women Voters of Arkansas, Arkansas United and five voters over the restrictions.

The measures struck down include a change to the state’s voter ID law that removes the option for someone to sign an affidavit affirming their identity if they don’t present a photo identification at the polls.

The other measures would preventanyone other than voters from being within 100 feet of a polling place, require an absentee voter’s signature on a ballot to match the signature on their voter registration application, and move up the deadline for voters to return absentee ballots in person."

 

Marie Yovanovitch says Rudy Giuliani was Trump's 'personal dirt-digger' and corrupt Ukrainians used him to spread 'lies and half-truths' in the US

excerpt:

"I knew that Lutsenko was going to try to join forces with Giuliani and that they both wanted me fired," the book said. "But I still couldn't imagine that they were going to be successful. The notion that an unscrupulous, disgruntled foreign official or even a president's personal dirt-digger could actually manipulate the US government to act against a sitting U.S. ambassador was inconceivable to me."

But, as Yovanovitch later recounts, Giuliani and Lutsenko were successful in their efforts to smear her and she was abruptly fired from her ambassadorship.

As a foreign service officer, Yovanovitch kept a low profile. But she catapulted into headlines in 2019 when House Democrats launched Trump's first impeachment regarding his efforts to strongarm Ukraine into doing his bidding while withholding security assistance and a White House meeting.

Yovanovitch's testimony focused on her work in Ukraine and how political forces — both in the US and Ukraine — led to her unceremonious ouster before the end of her term.

She also described how "shocked and devastated" she felt when she learned the details of a July 2019 call between Trump and Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in which Trump pressured Zelenskyy to investigate the Bidens, called Yovanovitch "bad news," and said that she was "going to go through some things."

 

'Lieutenant Corpal'

Apparently, she meant Lance Corporal.

Trump may have been upset with what he perceived as Mo Brooks starting to shy away from his 'stolen election' narrative.

Brooks has now made statements that fully support Trump's stolen election narrative.


MAGA Fave Mo Brooks Drops Groveling Ad to Try to Get Back in Trump's Good Graces

excerpt:

"Trump did tell the Examiner that Brooks “still” has strong feeling about election fraud, so perhaps the dominant factor behind Trump’s public waffling about his chosen candidate is actually that Brooks has been falling in the polls, and Trump surely doesn’t want to support a loser. (He has reportedly floated the idea of making multiple endorsements for the same races.) A poll conducted last week of 500 Republican primary voters had Brooks in the third spot with 17.6 percent, trailing businessman Mike Durant (33.8 percent) and retiring Sen. Richard Shelby’s former chief of staff, Katie Britt (32 percent). (The poll was commissioned by a political action committee for the Alabama Forestry Association, which endorsed Britt.)

“It’s a very tight race between the three of them right now, and I’m not particularly happy,” Trump groused."

 

Boebert should at least learn the proper title and pronunciation of the U.S. military member whose death she was using to try to insult Biden while she and Greene heckled him during the SOTU address.

 

What a bunch of pathetic losers

 

She’s an idiot!

 

A Trumpian 'Our Country First' sounds good from within but not when being in another country that's on the receiving end of such a mindset.


Terrifying poll reveals MAJORITY of Russians support further attacks on EU nations

excerpt:

"However, a majority of Russians stand full square behind their leader and would support a widening of the war - most notably future attacks on European members of NATO.

A staggering 86.6 percent of those polled were in favour of potential future attacks on countries such as Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.

All of these nation states were once part of the Warsaw Pact and belonged firmly to the Soviet sphere of influence after World War 2.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, they applied to and became members of NATO after 1997.

One of Vladimir Putin's key demands prior to his war in Ukraine, was that NATO should withdraw its forces from Eastern Europe.

Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergey Rybakov, told reporters in December last year: "Our position is that we need to remove all this and return to the positions of 1997. Enough is enough."

46 percent of the poll respondents were convinced that the Kremlin should attack the EU, and 40.6 percent considered it acceptable to expand hostilities.

More worryingly for Western leaders, 75 percent of the Russians surveyed were in favour of using nuclear weapons against the West, to one degree or another.

Just over 40 percent said a nuclear strike was acceptable, while another 34 percent showed qualified support."
