On March 24th, the Washington Post and CBS News revealed that they had obtained copies of 29 text messages between Ginni Thomas and Mark Meadows, the Trump White House chief of staff, in which she militated relentlessly for invalidating the results of the Presidential election, which she described as an "obvious fraud" ...
Stephen Gillers, a law professor at NYU and a prominent judicial ethicist, described the revelations as "a game changer". In the past, he explained, he had supported the notion that a Justice and his spouse could pursue their interests in autonomous spheres. "For that reason, I was prepared to, and did tolerate a great deal of Ginni's political activism", he said. But "Ginni has now crossed a line".
In an e-mail reacting to the texts, Gillers concluded, "Clarence Thomas cannot sit on any matter involving the election, the invasion of the Capitol, or the work of the January 6 Committee" (Legal Scholars Are Shocked By Ginni Thomas's "Stop the Steal" Texts. Jane Mayer, The New Yorker 3/25/2022).
Again (as with Steve Bannon's "we build the wall" scam) the joke is on YOU, republican Dotard supporters! Wayne was living large on the dime of dupes who sent the NRA money.
Maybe we can get rid of this Russia-colluding, corrupt, domestic terror organization and pass real gun reform? Signed by President Biden after being passed though a Democratically-controlled Congress (House and Senate)?
In Joe Biden's 8/20/2020 Democratic presidential nominee acceptance speech (video below) our next president said "as president, the first step I will take will be to get control of the virus that has ruined so many lives. I understand something this president hasn't from the beginning. We will never get our economy back on track; we will never get our kids safely back in school; we will never have our lives back -- until we deal with this virus. the tragedy of where we are today is it didn't have to be this bad. Just look around; it's not this bad in Canada, Europe or Japan, or almost anywhere else in the world ... we lead the world in confirmed cases. We lead the world in deaths. Our economy is in tatters ... and after all this time, the president still does not have a plan".
Joe Biden has a plan. "We'll develop and deploy rapid tests. With results available immediately. We'll make the medical supplies and protective equipment that our country needs. And we'll make them here, in America. ... We'll make sure our schools have the resources they need. ... We'll take the muzzle off our experts, so the public gets the information they need and deserve ... We'll have a national mandate to wear a mask. Not as a burden, but as a patriotic duty to protect one another. In short, we'll do what we should have done from the very beginning. Our current president has failed in his most basic duty to the nation. He has failed to protect us. He has failed to protect America. And, my fellow Americans, that is unforgivable".
As per Michael Shear of the NYT (see image above), under Dotard we have suffered "one of the greatest failures of presidential leadership in generations". Me, I don't know how you can call something a "failure" that was done on purpose. According to reporting from Vanity Fair, Dotard tasked Jared Kushner with coming up with a national scale testing plan. Jared's plan was to not do testing and to blame Blue State governors.
Joe Biden says "I'll work hard for those who didn't support me. As hard for them as for those who did vote for me". While Dotard allowed residents of Blue states (where people who support him also live) to suffer and die (apparently these idiots believed the virus would magically go away before spreading to Red states). The choice could not be clearer. We must elect Joe Biden in November. And then prosecute Dotard.
Hey All. Can we talk about 1 of the few topics I may actually know too much about: homicide? Specifically, whether Donald Trump may have criminal exposure for some level of negligent homicide or voluntary/involuntary manslaughter for the way he’s mishandled the Coronavirus crisis
Transcription of the above video... predisent Dotard, the dumbest man ever to serve as the chief executive of the United States, proves yet again how stupid he is. 4/23/2020.
Predisent Dotard: Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous -- whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light -- and I think you said that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body. Which you can do. Either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you're going to test that too. Interesting. And then I see the disinfectant. Knocks it out in a minute. One minute. Is there a way we can do something like that? By an injection, inside. Or almost a cleaning. Because you see, it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on them. So it would be interesting to check that. We're going to have to use medical doctors, right? It sounds interesting to me.
I have two theories explaining Dotard's comments. The first theory is that Dotard is that stupid. He turns to Dr. Birx and says "you're going to test that". As if he came up with a idea that the experts didn't think of. And, after he brought it up, they said "yes, we should test that. Thank you, doktor Dotard!". Remember when he claimed the docs asked him "how do you know this? As depicted in the cartoon above, this imbecile might actually think he could receive a Noble prize in medicine for coming up with the idea of injecting disinfectants into the lungs for "a cleaning".
My second theory explaining the comments is that Dotard KNEW what he was saying was stupid, but did it to see how many of his brainwashed followers would take his advice. Because it makes him feel powerful to know so many morons are under his thrall. Also, when he looked at Birx and spoke of testing his inane theories, he was like, "I'm the president bitch, and you'll agree with what I'm saying no matter how stupid it is". Later he broke out his oft used excuse that he was being "sarcastic". Which, as with the previous times he used it, obviously a lie. But that (I believe) makes him feel powerful as well. That he can tell obvious lies and there is nothing we can do about it gives him a thrill (IMO).
According to Noel Casler (who worked with Dotard on the Celebrity Apprentice) Dotard likes to break things (See Stephanie Miller's Happy Hour Podcast from 5/15/2020). Whichever of these theories is correct (I'm leaning toward the second one) the "advice" Dotard gave was dangerous. In that people listened to him and drank cleaning products (see text next to the cartoon from The Week above).
But the lives of the citizens Dotard is responsible for (as president) mean nothing to him. As a narcissistic sociopath, the most important person in the world is Donald Trump. Mass death as a result of his incompetence matters only in regards to how it effects Donald Trump. Specifically his reelection chances. Which is why he HAS to downplay the number of deaths, shift blame, and declare victory. No matter what happens Dotard will declare he acted decisively, prevented more deaths that would have otherwise occurred, and set the country on the road to economic recovery via an unadvised rapid reopening.
Dotard will also declare that the United States being one of the hardest hit countries was the fault of China, the WHO, the Democratic governors and Barack Obama. It absolutely was not the fault of Dotard's inaction (for months after Dotard was first warned in November 2019). Even though it's all a hoax and not a big deal.
By the way, if Joe Biden is elected president and assumes office in 2021, you can be certain he will be blamed for the Trump Depression. And that republicans (including our current allies, the "Never Trumpers") will immediately begin whining about the debt and insisting that cuts be made (though only to social safety net programs).
Despite the fact that Dotard (the potus candidate who vowed to eliminate the national debt) was racking up record deficits before the coronavirus pandemic. And now is signing multiple stimulus bills (each in the trillions of dollars) in a desperate attempt to avoid economic catastrophe.
Not only will people die who otherwise would not have, but our economy will suffer greatly. All because of a moron's incompetence. btw, I'm going with "Trump Depression" over "Dotard Depression" (even though I like alliteration) because I think it's important Dotard get proper credit. "Dotard" is the nickname given to BLOTUS by his lover, Kim Jong Un, while Trump is is proper name (changed by his father from Drumpf).
Following are the contents of an email I received yesterday evening from MoveOn.org.
Dear MoveOn member, Donald Trump's mind-bogglingly incompetent handling of the coronavirus has resulted in a worsening of the pandemic that is hitting our economy, communities, and individual lives in shocking ways—and it should destroy any last shot at his winning a second term.
But a new poll from The Wall Street Journal finds that 45% of voters actually approve of the job Trump is doing handling the coronavirus pandemic -- almost exactly the same as his overall approval rating. That means too many voters simply don't know the facts about the enormous threat of the coronavirus and how much worse Trump has made the pandemic through his bungled response.
They don't know that Trump literally shut down the office responsible for responding to a pandemic or that he defunded the CDC. The message hasn't gotten through that if Trump had been prepared and had taken swift action during the first crucial days and weeks, this epidemic could have been contained. They aren't aware that he was warned of threats of pandemics the day he was inaugurated -- and yet, he ignored this unfolding crisis, failing to secure tests or take precautions and even intentionally downplaying the level of infections.
Around the world, countries that responded faster to the pandemic outbreak have been able to slow down the rate of infection and avoid the more serious and disruptive scenarios unfolding here in the U.S.
Just days ago, Trump said that no one could have thought that coronavirus would even be a subject worth talking about.3 In fact, all over the world, there have been warnings for months that this was coming.
But the Trump administration was unprepared to respond, because Trump himself eliminated the office in charge of pandemic response and gutted funding for the Centers for Disease Control.

Dotard is fiddling while the virus rages. Just as Nero fiddled while Rome burned. The following is from Dotard's actual Twitter feed.
Who knows what this means, but it sounds good to me!

How much more proof do we need that this idiot should absolutely not be president? Joe Biden can't be sworn in soon enough. btw, I knew from day one that Dotard would destroy the US economy, although I couldn't have guessed the form it would take. Poor Joe Biden. When he assumes control he will also assume responsibility and blame.
You KNOW that magaturds certainly won't be using the accurate term "Trump Depression" to describe the economic calamity (and broken government) that Joe will inherit. Instead they will find a way to blame Democrats. Which I always knew would be the case, but the fact that it was a virus (and, as per MoveOn, 45% of voters are oblivious to how Dotard has bungled our government's response) will give their denials some plausibility. "How can President Trump be held accountable for the effects of a virus" they will ask. Ugh.
Cartoon and article excerpt below from the 2/14/2020 edition of The Week. I know someone who subscribes and they give me the magazine when they're finished with it.
So now that the "GOP" has given it's stamp of approval to Dotard's cheating efforts, the extortion of Ukraine is back on. According to what I've heard Ukraine is on board with an investigation of the Bidens. It isn't Ukraine that has a corruption problem, it is the United States. President Zelensky, knowing this, has no choice but to cooperate. He has to play for the pay.
Dotard, who has already claimed "I have an Article 2 where I have the right to do whatever I want as president", tweeted recently in regards to how he is the de facto King of the United States.

Comments attached to the Minus post as follows...
Thought Criminal: But Trump isn't a king... oh, wait. (1/31/2020 at 7:43pm).
Thersites: Well soon see, won't we? :) (2/1/2020 at 12:24pm).
Franco Aragosta: Trump is a true Gift from God, as was Our Lord an Saviour, Jesus Christ. It ain't no easy role to play. Jess look at how them two guys was treated. Ainchoo glad, that unlike me youse guys is jess mayda common clay? Hi shore is a lot sayfer. (2/1/2020 at 3:11pm).
That is truly disturbing. Especially the Franco comment (did he just suffer a stroke?). Dotard isn't just the king, he is a "gift from God".
Note that Rusty does not dispute the Anonymous assertion that Dotard is a fascist and is (completing) our transformation into an oligarchy. He welcomes it. Now, you may say Rusty's comment is disingenuous, but I disagree. These people absolutely would prefer a king to a president. So long as it's a king that pisses off the Left like Dotard does.
Although, in a second term, they'd probably like to see Dotard move on from pissing off the Left to punishing the Left. Dotard is eager to prosecute, convict and imprison his enemies. Magturds like Franco dream of mass murdering those who disagree with him politically.
In a (God forbid) Dotard second term, I believe trials (and convictions of Obama administration officials) that autocracy fans like Minus desires are definitely a possibility. Rudy is busy gathering the Russian-manufactured "evidence" and feeding it directly to Toady Barr.
