In a last ditch effort to delegitimize Joe Biden’s legitimate election victory, former President Trump reportedly urged the Justice Department to directly ask the Supreme Court to overturn the election results — an attempt that fell flat after DOJ leadership refused to take up Trump’s request, according to the Wall Street Journal on Saturday.
Love this Beschloss quote:
“This is the only president in American history who incited an insurrection against Congress that could have resulted in assassinations and hostage-taking and, conceivably, the cancellation of a free presidential election and the fracturing of a democracy,” Michael Beschloss, the presidential historian, told me. “That’s a fact, and it won’t change in 50 years. It’s very hard to think of a scenario under which someone might imagine some wonderful thing that Donald Trump did that will outshine that. He did, literally, the worst thing that an American president could ever do.”
A few more stories like this, and I may start to wonder whether Trump really believed in playing by the rules.
I don’t know if this plan is more audacious or laughable?!! I’ll go with, "audaciously laughable!"
Yeah, but at least he doesn’t wear a Rolex watch and own a Peleton!
In addition to his sociopathy, corruption, cruelty, and vengeful nature, he’s also just. fucking. stupid.
I’m thrilled he’s back! Supporting Kelli Ward in AZ! You go, Donald! Keep it up and completely destroy “your” party.
President Trump reportedly urged the Justice Department to directly ask the Supreme Court to overturn the election results —
Of course he did. IMO he was really afraid of what will come out after the cover provided by the office is gone.
I still think we may be doomed.
A crook–Donald Trump–cheated to win the 2016 election for President. Once in, he stayed in power when Impeached in 2019, by utilizing Moscow McConnell in a symbiotic relationship.
That resulted in more American deaths than combat deaths in WWII (by a Mile).
The GOP will have us believe that they will regain both the Senate and the House by
(1) Acquitting Trump in this Second Impeachment Trial
(2) Lying to an even greater degree than Trump did as president
(3) Getting the American People to acquiesce to this
Just remember, any article on this guy–ANY article-- will begin with a variation of the following sentence:
“The only president to ever be impeached twice Donald J. Trump is known as the worst president in American history and possibly the dumbest.”
We need results fast, more than unity. I hope enough Democrats understand this. Otherwise, what worked before for Republicans may work again. We can’t keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
I get it .
“Earlier accounts of the incident suggested bad blood between the neighbors, who have known each other for roughly 17 years, including a dispute over a property line and possible distaste for Paul’s politics, as well as those of his father, former Texas Rep. Ron Paul.”
The Republicans don’t learn. They simply double down on political depravity.
Cheating Old Chickenshit.
Very doomed.
They Message
They uniformly stick to it
They depend on RWNJ media
They BothSide EVERYTHING
We need messaging pros, skilled in the psychology of the people we need to reach.
I wonder how he would play it if he could start again - be assured someone around him has learned for the next time.
There cannot be a next time.
Some people might call your remark …intemperate. There. I’ve said it!
