2020 was one of the roughest years for a president to navigate. Having an unknown virus to understand and instantly create protocols for, as a hostile press, political peers and others watched, criticizing every comment and move Trump made, was challenging, to say the least. Now that everyone has a clear rear view mirror to ascertain what went wrong, they can play Monday morning quarterback, sounding so smart. However, when decisions are made in real-time the path forward is not always smooth, or absent flawed decision making. Yes, Fauci should have been fired, but Trump would have been unmercifully attacked, even by some members of HHR. When Scott Atlas was added to the task force by Trump the mix of Fauci/Birx/Atlas did not play well. Read Dr. Atlas’s book sometime detailing the interactions in this task force and Trump’s leadership in it.
IMO, few could have managed so many crises as well as Trump did that year, including not overreaching his presidential powers, and leaving it to state governors to determine their own pandemic rules (like DeSantis) and 2020 summer riot controls. The final note in December 2020, though, was a country rebounding, with remarkable border security, energy independence, less than 2% inflation, and then came Biden’s EOs in January 2021 turning everything south.

I agree with Bitter. I am not letting Trump off the hook. Fauci led him by the nose into bad decision-making, such as lockdowns. The Trump presidency was a failure as far as sane coronavirus policy.
If you look at the HHR board during the epidemic, I was one of those strongly advocating for taking the Swedish approach — no lockdowns. The Trump administration never even considered it. In addition Trump spoke in defense of China. Frankly, Trump became Fauci’s poodle:
“But Sweden seems to have been right. Countries that took the severe route to stem the virus might want to look at the evidence found in a little-known 2021 report by the Kaiser Family Foundation. The researchers found that among 11 wealthy peer nations, Sweden was the only one with no excess mortality among individuals under 75. None, zero, zip.
That’s not to say that Sweden had no deaths from COVID. It did. But it appears to have avoided the collateral damage that lockdowns wreaked in other countries. The Kaiser study wisely looked at excess mortality, rather than the more commonly used metric of COVID deaths. This means that researchers examined mortality rates from all causes of death in the 11 countries before the pandemic and compared those rates to mortality from all causes during the pandemic. If a country averaged 1 million deaths per year before the pandemic but had 1.3 million deaths in 2020, excess mortality would be 30 percent.”

Unfortunately, Trump is right. There will be no fair trial in DC with that jury pool and certainly not with this judge. The venue was the reason such a case was even brought up in the first place. Jonathon Turley has stated it’s a crap case but that Trump will probably be convicted in that venue and that the verdict will almost certainly be reversed on appeal. The plan is to time it such that they get a conviction just before the election (talk about election interference) and then the Biden Justice Dept won’t even care the verdict will be thrown out because the conviction will have already served its purpose at election time.
Of course, Republicans could completely blow up the Democrats entire plan by just nominating DeSantis and then it wouldn’t matter but then that would require some strategic planning that’s entirely nonexistent in the party of stupid.
While we can bicker with the whether it’s wise strategy for Trump to publicly say what he said about the judge, it won’t matter one way or the other. The timing and script for this trial has already been cast int stone.

Why are they doing this? Because it hurts the staffers financially. The average DC attorney to handle pre-indictment grand jury testimony costs between $20-50k. That’s more than half of what most the campaign staff would have made during their entire time on campaign

Meet the Press Lauro fired a warning shot at turncoat Mike Pence during the interview. Pence has been shooting off his mouth lately attacking President Trump. But he won’t get away with it at trial.
John Lauro: Mike Pence will be one of our best witnesses at trial. I read his book very carefully, and if he testifies consistent with his book, then President Trump will be acquitted for these reasons. Number one: Mr. Pence recognizes that John Eastman, who was giving legal advice, was a renowned legal scholar. Number two: Vice President Pence recognised that there were discrepancies and fraud in connection with the election. He wanted it to be debated on Capitol Hill. Mr. Trump wanted it to be debated in the state legislatures. But make no mistake about it, based on what Vice President Pence will say, the government will never be able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump had corrupt or criminal intent. And that’s what this case is about.

This is freaking crazy. A portion of the Eastman memo for January 6th plan to give Trump election. This is what Pence was pressured to participate in.
1. VP Pence, presiding over the joint session (or Senate Pro Tempore Grassley, if Pence recuses himself), begins to open and count the ballots, starting with Alabama (without conceding that the procedure, specified by the Electoral Count Act, of going through the States alphabetically is required).
2. When he gets to Arizona, he announces that he has multiple slates of electors, and so is going to defer decision on that until finishing the other States. This would be the first break with the procedure set out in the Act.
3. At the end, he announces that because of the ongoing disputes in the 7 States, there are no electors that can be deemed validly appointed in those States. That means the total number of “electors appointed” – the language of the 12th Amendment — is 454. This reading of the 12th Amendment has also been advanced by Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe (here). A “majority of the electors appointed” would therefore be 228. There are at this point 232 votes for Trump, 222 votes for Biden. Pence then gavels President Trump as re-elected.
4. Howls, of course, from the Democrats, who now claim, contrary to Tribe’s prior position, that 270 is required. So Pence says, fine. Pursuant to the 12th Amendment, no candidate has achieved the necessary majority. That sends the matter to the House, where the “the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote . . . .” Republicans currently control 26 of the state delegations, the bare majority needed to win that vote. President Trump is re-elected there as well.
5. One last piece. Assuming the Electoral Count Act pro Assuming the Electoral Count Act process is followed and, upon getting the objections to the Arizona slates, the two houses break into their separate chambers, we should not allow the Electoral Count Act constraint on debate to control. That would mean that a prior legislature was determining the rules of the present one — a constitutional no-no (as Tribe has forcefully argued). So someone – Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, etc. – should demand normal rules (which includes the filibuster). That creates a stalemate that would give the state legislatures more time to weigh in to formally support the alternate slate of electors, if they had not already done so.
6. The main thing here is that Pence should do this without asking for permission – either from a vote of the joint session or from the Court. Let the other side challenge his actions in court, where Tribe (who in 2001 conceded the President of the Senate might be in charge of counting the votes) and others who would press a lawsuit would have their past position — that these are non-justiciable political questions – thrown back at them, to get the lawsuit dismissed. The fact is that the Constitution assigns this power to the Vice President as the ultimate arbiter. We should take all of our actions with that in mind.

How about this as a theory on Jan. 6.
Individual Republican lawmakers in the House (and Senate?) were prepared to make arguments during the count concerning various irregularities in the various states where Biden narrowly won (PA, MI, WI, AZ, NV GA) and raise valid points about election laws in those various states not being followed or overridden by state courts that unconstitutionally usurped election powers.
_______________________________________
[BTW, I have seen TV interview of a group of R members of the House saying there were about to share such info as the floor session proceeded to do the electoral count, and were upset and frustrated that they were not able to do that in floor speeches on Jan. 6 since the breach of the capitol happened and the session was interrupted by the attack.]
___________________________________
This would force the real issues of election laws not being followed in the various key states and highlight valid concerns over other election issues (such as mail in ballot that came in after the legislated deadline date in PA and others, mail in ballots with no signatures, mail in ballots with very questionable signatures or that don’t come close to matching what is on file, absentee votes cast by someone who was not the real voter, thousands of voters in NV who were also registered voters in CA, people who moved out of the key states months or years before but still somehow “cast” ballots in those states, 135 ballots being cast where the residence is actually a vacant field, ballots “cast” by people on the VR list who are 135 years old or older, votes by people who were not legal residents of the U.S., etc.
The Dems knew that such data being thrown out to the TV networks print media and American people during the floor session would indeed raise serious questions about the validity of the election and cast serious doubt as to whether or not Biden actually DID win those key states. SO THE DEMS HAD TO PREVENT THE WHOLE COUNTRY BEING INFORMED OF THESE “VOTING IRREGULARITIES” IF THE ELECTORAL COUNT DID TAKE PLACE ON JAN. 6TH.
************************************************************
SO, to disupt the election count, THE DEMS PURPOSEFULLY IGNORED THEIR OWN POLICE INTEL TO BOLSTER SECURITY AT THE CAPITOL TO PREVENT TROUBLE, THE DEM PLAYERS IN THE FBI INFILTRATED THE RALLY GOERS TO INSTIGATE THOSE IN CROWD TO ATTACK THE CAPITOL, AFTER SOME WINDOWS AND DOORS WERE BROKEN, THE POLICE OPENED DOORS AND LET THE ROWDIES IN TO DO DAMAGE. THEN THE DEMS COULD CLAIM AN ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT OF THE U.S. AND USE THE POLICE AND COURTS TO GO AFTER TRUMP, ETC.

The international talks, held in Jeddah Aug. 5-6, brought together 40 countries to discuss Ukraine’s path to peace. Although China refused to join a similar summit in Copenhagen in June, Special Envoy for Eurasian Affairs Li Hui represented Beijing at the Jeddah talks.
Russia was not invited to participate.
The Financial Times reported that Ukrainian allies welcomed China’s move, viewing it as a shift away from Moscow’s interests and toward Kyiv’s.

“You have suds, beautiful nice wonderful suds, a lot of money, Procter & Gamble, all that crap that they sell they say is good, probably costs ’em about two cents and they sell it for $10,” Mr Trump said. “It takes you 10 minutes to wash your hair.

German Chancellor Merkel attended, as did Poland’s Acting President Komorowski, after President Kaczyński was killed in a plane crash in Russia under mysterious circumstances the previous month.

“When you were asked, ‘What’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America,’ you said ‘Russia.’ Not Al Qaeda; you said Russia,” Obama said then to Romney. “And, the 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back, because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.””

But Obama would not arm the Ukrainians. It was not until Donald Trump became president that they were provided with serious defensive weaponry, though it would obviously never be enough if Putin decided to mass Russia’s far superior forces and invade — which he waited to do until Obama’s vice-president, Joe Biden, was in the Oval Office.”

But Democrats have lost significant ground among their non-white counterparts as well, turning a political weakness into a major headache heading into 2024.
The slippage is occurring even as Trump, the GOP’s standard bearer, is facing an unprecedented trifecta of indictments in the run-up to the 2024 election.
By the numbers: In the New York Times/Siena poll released last week, Biden failed to win majority support from non-white voters who hadn’t graduated from college.

But the election won’t be clean because outside of GA no other state has taken any significant measures to reduce VBM, early vote and vote harvesting fraud, among other issues.
I think the TDS morons should worry less about Trump and more about how to get the Golden Calf nominated instead of him.
I see a lot of TDS trash talk against Trump and the people who support him, but very little constructive content on how to support the Golden Calf.
Hint: hoping Mark Meadows or someone else will “doom” Trump as a strategy is bound to fail or calling his supporters “zealots” is bound to fail.

Those facts are not going to change, and the TDS moron strategy of trying to latch on to MSNBC and Democratic talking points as a way to get rid of Trump is only going to backfire.

There’s been no bigger critic of the DeSantis operation than me; however, to be fair in this gotcha question – DeSantis did outline some of the numerous voting irregularities before getting to the nub of his position and saying, “Of course he lost. Joe Biden’s the president.”
Where DeSantis goes horribly wrong in his political approach is to then blame Donald Trump for the outcomes of the state decisions during the 2020 COVID election. The states run the elections, not the federal government. Ballot harvesting corruption and the fraud in the voting process was a specific regional issue albeit on a massive scale.
DeSantis has this sanctimonious streak that runs through him from top to bottom. President Trump named him accurately. The Florida governor has very few friends, and those who know him in his professional political endeavors do not find him to be a man of integrity.
Governor DeSantis is a shape shifting DeceptiCon, comfortable with false pretenses all around him. That’s why DeSantis was the perfect selection for the Astroturf, fraud and fakery that underpins the entire anti-MAGA campaign operation. It’s all fake, including the candidate.

The New York Times totally ignore Stalin’s deliberate actions in starving the Ukrainian people — instead it published glowing stories about how much factory employment there was in the Soviet Union.
Frankly I consider a lot of the problems now are a result of President Obama, who was actually more favorable to Putin than Trump was. When Putin invaded the Republic of Georgia, Obama did nothing, an actually sent a U.S. troops contingent to march in a Moscow military parade.
Then there was the debate between Obama and Romney when Obama said: “The 1970s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War has been over for 20 years.”
Or when Obama got caught on a hot mic telling the Russian President he would have “more flexibility after the election.” It was Obama who opened the door for Putin’s aggression. Underneath, leftist Obama loathed his country, and had no problem undercutting it’s strength and determination.
