Trump threatened to travel 5,000 miles to Alaska, and campaign against Senator Murkowski.
That threat has mostly been laughed off.

Trump's Plan to Oust Murkowski May be Foiled by Long Flight

NY magazine

The broadside against Murkowski came days after she voted to advance the nomination
of Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.) to serve as Interior secretary — the only Republican on
the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee to do so.

"(Murkowski's) vote to advance radical left democrat (sic) Deb Haaland for Secretary
of the Interior is yet another example of Murkowski not standing up for Alaska."

Trump is not inviting his fans to Mar-a Lago.

He sent them off to his cheap, squalid, run-down wreck in Florida.

It is Spring Break.

Insurance is due ?

That, or the gent that Trump travelled to NYC Trump Tower to meet, wants cash now, not later.

 

[LLCox]

...Who ?

 

[bodysong]

It has been mighty quiet, lately- in the Trump corner.

No tweets.

Trump is still banned.

Trump cannot rule his Trump Loyalists.

He cannot threaten to fire them.

They are not afraid of his mean tweets.

The GOP is taking back their SuperPac cash.

Trump cannot control all of the campaign donations.

GOP has a legal right to use his name, because name of President Trump is not private property.

Trump lost support of the golf community- Professional Golfers' Association said no thanks.

Trump 2024 ? Who needs him?

Total hypocrisy from Trump Loyalists - Trump flights to every state on Air Force One jet,
The rally jet, the speech jet, the NJ jet, the international jet to his Scotland golf course.

Biden bends to Trump Loyalist pressure, after they tell him he is taking too many jet trips.

 

[Champakian]

He doesn't have to try to remain relevant.

The Left just won't let go of him.

He's their bogeyman...

 

[bodysong]

Joe Biden is in the spotlights, because he does not seek them. He does his job.

The real world left Trump behind. He is scurrying in the shadows of the internet.

Pfizer did not bend the knee to Trump, and kiss the high heeled boot, when he was president.
They turned their noses up at Trump's Operation Warp Speed research funding.
Found a partner in Germany's BioNTech.
Agreed to sell the US doses, for a price.

Can be sure, when Trump secretly had immunization shots, they were not J&J.

U.S. Calls for Pause on Johnson & Johnson Vaccine After Blood Clotting Cases

The New York Times

Now that Pfizer is standing tall, and J&J has a scandal, Trump takes a swipe at Pfizer.

(It was Trump that turned down Pfizer's offer to supply millions of doses.)

Accusing Democrats of corruption ? That is on brand, for Trump. Hypocritical ? oh yeah

Is this the very last attempt, to support the ballot lie, used by
Trump Loyalists, to bludgeon American Democracy ?

Supreme Court rejects lingering Pa. 2020 election challenge case

The Supreme Court on Monday said it will not hear a case out of Pennsylvania
related to the 2020 election, a dispute that had lingered while similar election
challenges had already been rejected by the justices.

The high court directed a lower court to dismiss the case as moot.

[Champakian]

In some ways, I think the fixation is fear-driven.

They want to make sure that he cannot run again.

I think the fear is that he will win as Biden makes him more and more popular.
And that's with the press carrying Uncle Joe's water for him...

People might come to the conclusion that it's better not to elect someone who hates the country.

Trump Loyalist Ballot Fuckery in Arizona

Florida's Cyber Ninjas are operating a recount of Arizona ballots,
looking for voter fraud. The company's leaders are Trump Loyalists.

to conduct the recount "has confirmed that he authored a document titled
'Election Fraud Facts & Details' that was posted on the website of Sidney
Powell."

GOP-backed recount of Maricopa County ballots appears on track
to move forward after initial pause ordered by Arizona judge

Senate Republicans exercised a subpoena to move voting equipment and ballots
from county storage to the floor of the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum,
where they have said a team of private companies will spend the next four weeks
conducting a hand recount of ballots and a forensic audit of voting machines.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Christopher Coury expressed concern
about the process, however, particularly after Roopali Desai, an attorney representing
the Democratic Party, noted that a reporter for the Arizona Republic had tweeted that
she observed audit workers using blue ink pens as the process got underway Friday
morning.

State law requires that only pens with red ink be used in election reviews because
optical scanners recognize both blue and black ink, and stray marks could affect
the count.

GOP senators have handed over management and funding of the quasi-public process
to a private cybersecurity firm from Florida called Cyber Ninjas, whose chief executive
has echoed false claims about fraud in the election.

The Cyber Ninjas chief executive has ties to several figures who played leading
roles in attempting to subvert the 2020 election results.

There is a hint of Uncanny Valley, about the whole Trump family.
As if they were extraterrestrials, mimicking the behaviour of human
beings. They never seem to get it quite right.

It is time to move North, because Trump's grease paint face make-up
melts and drips in the Florida sun -

Mar-a-Lago traditionally closes for the season after Memorial Day,
when the moneyed membership disperses to escape the state's cloying
summer heat — the club's peak season usually lasts from Thanksgiving
to Easter, according to the South Florida Sun Sentinel, the local
newspaper that covers Palm Beach.

Trump continues to tell his fairy tale of a stolen election -

Trump insisting that there is justification for voter suppression laws,
after one of his political servants admitted to the press that it was
Republicans that committed voter fraud, this week.

After the preferred media of Trump Loyalists admits-
that no one broadcasting untruths, lies, and misinformation
believes anything that they broadcast to the public.

April 24, 2021

Trump praised a taxpayer-funded effort by Arizona legislature Republicans
to "audit" the results of the 2020 election in Maricopa County, and demanded
that Republican Gov. Doug Ducey send in the state police or the National Guard
to "protect" the pro-Trump technology company tasked with carrying out the effort.

What has prompted the hysterial reaction of Florida Trump Loyalists ?

Perhaps, this-

Florida Rep. Val Demings said she’s “seriously considering” a statewide bid
against Sen. Marco Rubio or Gov. Ron DeSantis

Demings, a former Orlando police chief, rose to national prominence as a House
impeachment manager and as a possible running mate for Joe Biden last year. State
and national Democrats have urged her to challenge either DeSantis or Rubio, but she
was relatively non-committal until she was asked Thursday about her potential candidacy.

"I've received so many calls and texts and emails, and have been stopped when I'm out
and about by people who are asking me that very same question. Matter of fact, they think
I should run for statewide office and maybe challenge the governor, or challenge Sen. Rubio
next year,” she told POLITICO Thursday. “I'm seriously considering a statewide run.
And we'll see what happens."

https://www.politico.com/news/2021/04/23/demings-challenging-desantis-rubio-484386

She put a dent in their Trump Loyalist mascot -

As a former top police officer and a Black woman, Demings occupies a unique space
in the nation’s political dialogue over race and policing, an issue that was brought into
sharp focus Tuesday when Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) interrupted her as she criticized
Republicans for pretending to support law enforcement when they tried to amend a
hate crimes bill to prevent police departments from being defunded.

“I have the floor, Mr. Jordan! What? Did I strike a nerve!” she yelled at Jordan.
“Law enforcement officers deserve better than to be utilized as pawns!"
"You and your colleagues should be ashamed of yourselves!"
"Mr. Jordan, you don’t know what the heck you’re talking about."
"You know nothing about what law enforcement officers do.”
