THE 208th week of Trump!

[JackLuis]

After the last week of whining and losing again in the courts, Trump has lost a great deal of Rethuglicunts support. It's as if the Party is trying to De-Trumpify itself. Yet still the sycophants hang on, hoping that they can bring Biden to his knees!

All eyes now turn ot Georgia where the fate of the nation hangs in balance. Can the Dem's hang on and get two Senate seats needed to stymie Moscow Mitch and send him to the showers? Both Trump and Biden are down in Georgia rallying their troops, hoping for a win. What will Trump do? Will he continue to whine and claim voter fraud? Most probably, does he ever change for Me Me Me? This despite the fact that Trump has convinced a large number of Rethug voters that the fix is in and their votes will be "stolen", so why should they vote at all!

Biden’s Presidency Faces Early Defining Moment In GA Runoffs

ATLANTA (AP) — Usually it’s a president’s first midterm election that reorders a White House’s political approach and priorities. For President-elect Joe Biden, his most defining congressional election is coming before he takes office.

Two runoffs Tuesday in Georgia will decide which party controls the Senate and, thus, how far the new president can reach legislatively on issues such as the pandemic, health care, taxation, energy and the environment. For a politician who sold himself to Americans as a uniter and a seasoned legislative broker, the Georgia elections will help determine whether he’s able to live up to his billing.

“It’s not that you can’t get anything done in the minority or get everything done in the majority, but having the gavel, having that leadership control can be the difference in success or failure for an administration,” said Jim Manley, once a top aide to former Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid, who held his post opposite current Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Both Georgia Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock must win Tuesday to split the Senate 50-50. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, as president of the Senate, would provide the tiebreaker needed to determine control.

Trump, others linked to Soleimani killing ‘will not be safe on Earth,’ Iran official warns
Sat, 02 Jan 2021 10:35:51 GMT
President Trump and anyone else linked to the U.S. strike one year ago that killed a notorious Iranian general "will not be safe on Earth," a top official...

 

[KeithD]

Personal protection will certainly be a big issue for the Donald once he's out of the White House. Quite likely there's some relative of one of those over 200,000 people Trump has been directly responsible for killing in the pandemic who will be a crazy gun nut with a plan (golf courses are so hard to provide protection on). This doesn't include the Iranians and one of those thousands of right-wing nuts Donald himself has unleased and disappointed--or one of thousands of vendors or others who his stiffing and scamming has ruined. Maybe someone he's sexually abused. There are so many possibilities.

Yep, it's going to be hard protecting a former (impeached) president--especially one who has abused his provided personal detail as much as Donald Trump has. Might even be some inmates he's imprisoned with who hold a grudge. There's always the Epstein scenario available there. Maybe some folks who don't want Trump to blab on what he and they have done together.

Trump 'diehards' threatening to 'kill all the D.C. traitors' on day of the president's rally: report

Buried deep in a report claiming Donald Trump has no intention of walking away meekly after Congress certifies the 2020 presidential election on January 6th, the Daily Beast reports that "diehard' fans of the president are openly threatening violence the day they descend upon Washington D.C. for a "Stop the Steal" rally the president is promoting.

With the president suggesting to aides he may make a public address to the gathering-- meant to counter the election certification process on the Senate floor -- fans of the president are boasting they will bring a "literal war" to the streets of D.C.

According to the report, "the protesters' mood ahead of the Jan. 6 protest has turned even more desperate."

The Beast also reports that Trump fans are discussing dressing up as Antifa protesters so the anti-fascist group will be blamed for any violence.

Trump Org. declares losses of $90 million on his European Golf clubs: report

President Donald Trump is reporting big losses on his European golf courses according to a new report by Forbes magazine.

"Donald Trump continued losing money in 2019 at his two golf properties in Scotland, where he has been struggling for years, according to regulatory documents released this week. Turnberry, the most prestigious property in Trump's golf empire, lost about $3 million on revenue of $26 million. A second business, near the Scottish city of Aberdeen, bled $1.5 million on $4.3 million in sales," Dan Alexander reported Saturday.

"That's bad news for the Trump Organization, which has now declared losses of roughly $90 million at its European golf resorts, according to an analysis of records from Ireland and the United Kingdom. Since the president opened his Aberdeen course in 2012, he has lost $15.5 million. Business has been even worse at Turnberry, which Trump bought in 2014 for $65 million. Despite investing an additional $75 million or so to fix up the property from 2014 to 2018, the place piled up losses of $58 million, according to an analysis of financial reports. The 2019 figures, first reported by the Scotsman, bring Turnberry's total losses to $61 million since 2014," the report noted.

Don's folly!

Ted Cruz fractures Mitch McConnell GOP's caucus with effort to overturn the election

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Saturday announced that ten Republican senators would join his effort to reject the outcome of the 2020 election, which was won by President-elect Joe Biden.

Only one problem, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-TX) is opposed to the scheme and thinks Wednesday's vote will be the most consequential during his 36 years in the Senate.

The move by Cruz was widely panned and could haunt the Republican Party big in the 2022 midterm elections.

Mike Pence green-lights GOP scheme to block the election results -- says he 'welcomes the efforts'

Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday said he "welcomes the efforts" by some Republicans to ignore the results of the 2020 election, which was won by President-elect Joe Biden.

"Vice President Pence shares the concerns of millions of Americans about voter fraud and irregularities in the last election," Pence said, even though there has been no evidence of fraud that would alter the outcome.
"The Vice President welcomes the efforts of members of the House and Senate to use the authority they have under the law to raise objections and bring forward evidence before the Congress and the American people on January 6th," Pence argued.

Republicans fear Trump's loyalty tests will haunt the GOP in Georgia's Senate runoffs on Tuesday and in the 2022 midterm elections.

‘Sedition is a precise word’: GOP ripped for their ‘brutal betrayal of their oaths of office’

Republican efforts to reject the outcome of the 2020 election -- which Donald Trump lost to President-elect Joe Biden -- have created a dangerous situation in America, according to long-time GOP strategist Steve Schmidt.

Schmidt posted an angry thread on Twitter, posted below in it's entirety:

Trump Plans to Fight the Election Even After ‘Stop the Steal’ Rally Ends

Many of Donald Trump’s most dogmatic supporters see a mass protest in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6—just two weeks shy of Inauguration Day 2021—as their last chance to disrupt President-elect Joe Biden’s win. But for the president himself, it’s just another day to complain.

Two people familiar with the matter say that in recent days, Trump has told advisers and close associates that he wants to keep fighting in court past Jan. 6 if members of Congress, as expected, end up certifying the electoral college results.

“The way he sees it is: Why should I ever let this go?… How would that benefit me?” said one of the sources, who’s spoken to Trump at length about the post-election activities to nullify his Democratic opponent’s decisive victory.

The president’s exact plans for the Jan. 6 events remain unclear, and it has been common for him to lend his support to these rallies or protests via enthusiastic-sounding tweets, only to then stop short of doing much else. Since last week, Trump has asked certain aides and allies what they think would be good ideas for him to mark the occasion, such as a speech, a flyover, or a recorded video, the sources said.

Go ahead Donnie, Poke the bear! Do It, DO it...

‘Shut it down’: Florida lawmaker demands Palm Beach close Mar-a-Lago -- and fine Trump

President Donald Trump is facing outrage in Florida after his Mar-a-Lago club held a largely-maskless New Year's Eve party as his Mar-a-Lago resort that may have been a COVID-19 super-spreader event.

Trump was reportedly too "embarrassed and humiliated" to attend the celebration and altered his plans to return to Washington, DC ahead of schedule.

Florida state Rep. Omari Hardy, a Democrat, is now calling for the club to be closed..
"I am calling on Palm Beach County to fine Mar-a-Lago and to shut it down. The County must be assured that this business will comply with our local mask mandate before it is allowed to reopen," Hardy said, as reported by CBS 12.

Calls for Trump impeachment after he's busted for 'criminal election tampering' in Georgia phone call

A Georgia Impeach...ment!

Commenters on Twitter were stunned on Sunday morning after a bombshell Washington Post report claimed that Donald Trump pressured Georgia's secretary of state to rustle up over 11,000 votes so he could win the state's 16 electoral votes.

According to the report the Post "obtained a recording of the conversation in which Trump alternately berated [Brad] Raffensperger, tried to flatter him, begged him to act and threatened him with vague criminal consequences if the secretary of state refused to pursue his false claims, at one point warning that Raffensperger was taking 'a big risk.'"

The post also noted that Trump was very specific about the number of votes he wanted telling the Georgia official, "So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state."

Deluded Demented Donnie strikes out AGAIN!

In hour-long call, Trump pressures Georgia official to 'recalculate' election and 'find 11,780 votes'

President Donald Trump tried for over an hour to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The telephone call, which was described as "rambling" and "incoherent," was first reported by The Washington Post on Sunday.

Who could follow Trump? Here are the top five GOP contenders for 2024

Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R): Probably most electable, least crazy.

Vice President Mike Pence (R): MIke is too light weight to last in a tough primary.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) Razor-Back Racist?

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) After sucking Trump dick you have to ask, is he his own man?

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) Now a dark horse but he can he shake off the taint of his sedition?

Who will ride the Golden Escalator to the nomination?

George Conway delivers bad news to Trump on prison time awaiting him for his Georgia election tampering

That, Conway suggested, amounted to election tampering.

With that in mind, he helpfully tweeted for the president -- and whoever is acting as his lawyer these days -- the relevant penalties for attempting or proposing fraud.

According to 52 U.S.C § 20511(2)(B): "A person, including an election official, who in any election for Federal office- knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process, by- (A) the procurement or submission of voter registration applications that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held; or
(B) the procurement, casting, or tabulation of ballots that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held,hall be fined in accordance with title 18 (which fines shall be paid into the general fund of the Treasury, miscellaneous receipts (pursuant to section 3302 of title 31), notwithstanding any other law), or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both."

'Open-and-shut federal crime': Members of Congress demand prosecution of Trump for election tampering

Democratic members of Congress late Sunday joined the chorus denouncing outgoing President Donald Trump's desperate attempt to pressure Georgia's top election official to "find" enough votes to overturn the state's November results, a failed effort that lawmakers and legal experts said amounts to an attack on democracy and a blatant criminal offense.

Indite him in Georgia, convict him, then send him to New York to face the Tax Man!

Fulton County DA prepared to launch criminal probe of Trump's threatening Georgia call

The District Attorney of Georgia's most populous county signaled a willingness on Monday to launch a criminal probe into President Donald Trump.

In a statement posted by NBC News correspondent Blayne Alexander, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said her office is ready to investigate Trump over his now-infamous phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

"It is my understanding from news reports that a member of the State Election Board has requested that the Secretary's Elections Division investigate the call, after which the Board can refer the case to my office and the state Attorney General," she said. "Anyone who commits a felony violation of Georgia law in my jurisdiction will be held accountable."

US Attorney in Atlanta abruptly resigns citing 'unforeseen circumstances'

Citing "unforeseen circumstances," Atlanta-based U.S. Attorney Byung "BJ" Pak announced that he would be resigning effective immediately, Talking Points Memo reported. Pak had said that he intended to stay on until Jan. 20 when U.S. attorneys are typically rehired or dismissed by the incoming administration's attorney general.

It isn't unusual for a U.S. attorney to step down if there are other opportunities before the incoming administration, but it flies in the face of the promise by Pak to stay. The only thing that has changed since his pledge is that President Donald Trump had a phone call with the Georgia secretary of state and demanded that he commit election fraud.

... He just didn't want to be forced to kill his chances of getting reelected. Pussy!

Mueller prosecutor points to key detail in Trump’s shakedown call — that could be legally devastating

Andrew Weissmann, the former senior prosecutor for special counsel Robert Mueller, explained to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace that the lawyers on the Georgia call with President Donald Trump are asking for a completely different thing than Trump was.

NBC News' John Heilemann said that he was grateful that Republicans in the Senate were supporting the "attempted coup" because it will force them to wear it around their necks for the rest of their careers, essentially destroying any possibilities they have at higher office.

Angry Republicans blame Trump for their party's Georgia implosion

With Rev. Raphael Warnock projected to win and fellow Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff in a strong position to pull off a victory, GOP strategists fumed to Politico that Trump sabotaged their chances of holding the Senate with his constant attacks on Georgia's Republican governor and secretary of state.

"Trump is the cause of this, lock, stock and barrel," said one GOP strategist.

Trump 'backlash' helped get Kamala Harris and Raphael Warnock elected: Morning Joe

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough pointed out an ironic result of President Donald Trump's racist administration.

The Rev. Raphael Warnock has been projected the winner of his race against Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler in Georgia, and Democrat Jon Ossoff remains in striking distance of Sen. David Perdue -- which would unseat Mitch McConnell as majority leader once Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are sworn in -- and the "Morning Joe" host says the president is to blame for those GOP losses.

"All the Republican election officials that Donald Trump is bashing, the governor included, they're all Trumpers," Scarborough said.
"They were all, Brian Kemp, I thought embarrassed himself by how cravenly he followed every twist and turn of Donald Trump," Scarborough added. "So for Donald Trump to turn on him and [former attorney general] Bill Barr because they wouldn't overthrow election results, stunning."

A Trifecta of Defeat

The Republican party under Donald Trump lost control of the House of Representatives in 2018, the White House in 2020 and the Senate in 2021 – a trifecta of defeat that may finally convince the party of the need to liberate itself from Trump’s malign domination.
