Ex President* Trump

poor white people

Now you're getting it!

I read a story this morning about how it might be possible to prevent trump and others like him (Cawthorn, Greene, Gosar, Jordan, etc.) from holding any state or federal public office due to their participation in insurrection. The method is Section 3 in the 14th amendment, originally intended to prevent former Confederate officials from holding future government positions. This was later rescinded for former Confederates by the Amnesty Act, but the 14th amendment still has this section.

We started talking about that in Cawthorn before Useless derailed it. He's the test case before umpteen appeals.

Opps! I must have missed it. I'm pretty irregular and some say that when I'm regular I'm still irregular. I do have flashes of insight now and then.

I am also intermittently consistent, tragically funny, and dangerously harmless.

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter says Trump 'is done'

... "Trump is done," Coulter, a onetime Trump booster turned critic, wrote in an email to The New York Times. "You guys should stop obsessing over him." ...

"EXCLUSIVE: Trump is demanding to know Ron DeSantis's booster status, and I can now reveal it," Coulter wrote. "He was a loyal booster when Trump ran in 2016, but then he learned our president was a liar and con man whose grift was permanent. I hope that clears things up."

Dozens of former Trump officials including John Kelley and Stephanie Grisham are formulating plans to thwart their former boss in 2022 and 2024

Around three dozen former Trump officials jumped on a conference call this week to figure out how to thwart Trump in 2022 and 2024, according to CNN....

What these individuals have in common appears to be their repudiation of Trump. (Gen. John, Trump's former chief of staff) Kelly has made several statements about Trump, saying the former president "doesn't know any history at all, even some of the basics on the US." He also said in August 2020 that informing Trump that the things he planned to do were illegal was like "French kissing a chainsaw." ...

(Alyssa Farah, Trump communications director) Griffin ... commented in January that the Republican Party is "morally in disrepair" due to the GOP's failure to acknowledge that the January 6 Capitol riot was a "big deal."

... The group — which has not released its name or published a list of members — is among several GOP-linked organizations that have expressed opposition to Trump. In October, a Republican group called Republicans for Voting Rights put up several billboards across the US, including in Times Square, to remind the former president that he lost the 2020 election. The Lincoln Project, founded by current and former Republicans, also worked during the 2020 election to prevent Trump's re-election....

Trump Caps MLK Day by Using Taxpayer-Funded Office to Promote Golf Course Renovations

Oh well, this is fun:

... Trump National Doral has seen some hard times. The Washington Post noted in 2019 that the property was in “steep decline,” and the pandemic didn’t help matters. Forbes noted last January that sales dropped at least $33 million in 2020. It’s a safe bet that Trump is the only person in America who thinks slapping some luxury condos onto the property amounts to “the most exciting development in the country.”

Trump’s claim that Doral’s signature Blue Monster course is a “favorite of PGA tour players” is also dubious. The course hasn’t hosted a PGA Tour event since the WGC moved to Mexico City in 2016. Trump responded to the news by writing that he hopes the PGA has “kidnapping insurance.” The course itself isn’t anything special, either, as golf writer Rick Reilly explained to Rolling Stone in 2019. “The reason he doesn’t have a single course in the top 150 in America, even though he says he’s got the greatest collection of courses, which is bullshit, is because he goes too big,” Reilly said of the Blue Monster. “Big greens, big bunkers, big fairways, big waterfalls. The great courses in America — like Riviera, Bandon Dunes, Pebble Beach — they have some great small holes, and holes that feel organic to the land.” ...

Trump's lawyer brutally mocked for 'insane' court motion that is 'perilously close to gibberish'

Ya gotta admit that Alina Habba represents Dolt .45 well.

Or not...

"insane ... gibberish ... inexperienced"

I stand by my post.

Most experienced lawyer who’s willing to represent him?

He doesn't have many options these days.

Everyone else asked for payment upfront.

Naw, it’s a great choice.

"Relatively inexperienced". There's an understatement.

Still, I guess you get what you don't pay for.

I'm not concerned at all. But maybe they should have Giulliani on this one just to be sure.

Lock them up!

[Ulysses]

OK, this refers to a "never issued draft order", right?

Sounds like it was the work of Kraken Keeper Sidney Powell, and perhaps others. That Trump didn't approve it to be enacted may be to his credit. I would not be surprised if he turns Powell and others into the villains, so he can get off scot free. And of course, Trump was the one who brought these fascists into the White House, so the ultimate responsibility rests with him.

Didn't really think it possible. Another "perfect" phone call has been achieved.
New heights of pathetic and desperation being reached.

My phone call to the Secretary of State of Georgia was perfect, perhaps even more so than my call with the Ukrainian President, if that’s possible. I knew there were large numbers of people on the line, including numerous lawyers for both sides. Although I assumed the call may have been inappropriately, and perhaps illegally, recorded, I was not informed of that. I didn’t say anything wrong in the call, made while I was President on behalf of the United States of America, to look into the massive voter fraud which took place in Georgia. Just last week, it was further determined that they are looking into ballot harvesting in Fulton County, after supposedly watching tapes of it actually taking place. This alone could be tens of thousands of votes. What this Civil Special Grand Jury should be looking into is not my perfect phone call, but the large scale voter fraud that took place in Georgia. Then they would be doing a great job for the people. No more political witch hunts!

So let me get this straight, I am being investigated in Georgia for asking an Attorney General with many lawyers and others knowingly on the phone to look for corruption, which definitely took place in the Georgia Presidential election—but the people who committed the crime are in no way, shape, or form under investigation and are instead being protected? The people looking for the crime are being hounded and the people who committed the crime are being protected. This is not the American way.

Not everyone agrees, and PINO's getting scared and mean about it.

Georgia prosecutor asks for FBI protection after Trump rails against probe

The Georgia prosecutor looking into former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results is asking the FBI for protection after Trump called for protests of the “racist prosecutors” investigating him.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis sent a letter to the FBI’s Atlanta field office on Sunday requesting that the bureau conduct a risk assessment of the county courthouse and government center, as well as provide protective resources including “intelligence and federal agents” as her office ramps up its own investigation of the former president.

“We must work together to keep the public safe and ensure that we do not have a tragedy in Atlanta similar to what happened at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021,” Willis wrote in the letter, which was published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “My staff and I will not be influenced or intimidated by anyone as this investigation moves forward.”

During a rally in Conroe, Texas, on Saturday night, Trump railed against ongoing probes into his efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.

“If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal, I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protests we have ever had in Washington, D.C., in New York, in Atlanta and elsewhere, because our country and our elections are corrupt,” Trump said.

Earlier this month, Willis requested a special grand jury to aid her investigation because of what she called a lack of cooperation from witnesses, including the state’s Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger. Willis launched the inquiry after Trump, in a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call, urged Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes” that made up Biden’s winning margin in the state.

Last week a judge granted Willis’s request for a grand jury, which will be impaneled beginning on May 2.

Meanwhile, the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot continues to subpoena witnesses, including Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and other attorneys involved in pushing baseless election fraud claims. The panel recently asked Trump’s daughter Ivanka to cooperate voluntarily in its probe.

On Jan. 19, the Supreme Court denied the former president’s request to prevent the select committee from obtaining White House records concerning Trump’s activities leading up to and during the insurrection.

And New York Attorney General Letitia James said earlier this month that she has uncovered “significant evidence” of fraud in her ongoing investigations into the Trump Organization’s business practices.

Same issues for Dolt .45 with elaborations and additions:

A year out of office, Trump's legal woes continue to mount

The Jan. 6 panel's on a hot streak against Trump World. Now what?

, hopefully.

"unlawful habit of tearing presidential records into shreds and tossing them on the floor — creating a headache for records management analysts who meticulously used Scotch tape to piece together fragments of paper that were sometimes as small as confetti"

"In its statement, the Archives said that “White House records management officials during the Trump Administration recovered and taped together some of the torn-up records. These were turned over to the National Archives at the end of the Trump Administration, along with a number of torn-up records that had not been reconstructed by the White House. The Presidential Records Act requires that all records created by presidents be turned over to the National Archives at the end of their administrations.”'

"Stephen Gillers, a New York University law professor and constitutional scholar, said White House documents torn up by Trump are clearly the property of the government under the Presidential Records Act.
“So destroying them could be a crime under several statutes that make it a crime to destroy government property if that was the intent of the defendant,” Gillers said. “A president does not own the records generated by his own administration. The definition of presidential records is broad. Trump’s own notes to himself could qualify and destroying them could be the criminal destruction of government property.”'

Where's Merrick. This should be more than enough to prevent him from holding any future office.
