    Definitely. In his mind he's a 10, those useful to him in some way are 1's, and everyone else is a 0.

    Gaetz is damaged goods.

    And probably radioactive, considering his father volunteered to wear a wire.

    McConnell knows that unless he grovels at his feet Trump will order the rest of the GOP to get rid of him. Expect McConnell to start endlessly lying about how the election was stolen and Trump is the real president.

    Depends on how long Mitch plans to remain in the Senate, and how he wants to shape his legacy, having stuffed the Supreme Court and Federal appointments with Conservative Justices.

    That's finished for the next four to eight years, so if he kowtows to Forty Five, it means he plans on at least twelve more years.

    In a big survey (that has some issues, see methodology), Trump's popularity in March was more or less the same as it has been throughout his presidency. A few democrats shifted from "I dislike him" to "I dislike him VERY MUCH" since Dec 2016 and that is it basically.

    The easy answer is Trump is the avatar of systemic problems in US culture/systems, so what he does is meaningless. Most people prefer byzantine rationalizations to confirm their internal narratives as they feed off external ones sadly.

    Facebook’s Supreme Court upheld Trump’s ban and he said what you would expect. Then he tried to backdoor his way back on Tweeter using his new Desk of Donald Trump site as a cover and it did not work.

    Elizabeth Warren coming out with “the Facebook action proves Big Tech is too powerful” was a nice addition.

    It would help facebook if Zuckerberg was removed, since we know his ultimate quest is to have every human have an account on facebook, regardless how much he has to compromise with authoritarian regimes, and then monetize the information.

    It certainly helped Microsoft as it transitioned from the old guard to a more technocractic leadership.

    Reps Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene tear into their OWN party in rally at Florida's The Villages as they raise the stakes in Republican civil war with 'America First Tour'

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ica-rally.html

    Everything about this story is what Trump and his nativist supporters are, a pedophile and a Q anon / Jewish Space Lasers conspiracy theorist. The Villages documentary Some Kind of Heaven is worth a look.

    The Justice Department under former President Trump obtained phone records of Washington Post reporters and attempted to get access to their email records surrounding their reporting on Russia’s efforts to meddle in the 2016 presidential election, according to a new report.
    Trump was clearly worried about what they would find and trying to get ahead of it.

    The Republican who now leads the Arizona county elections department targeted by a GOP audit of the 2020 election results is slamming former President Donald Trump and others in his party for their continued falsehoods about how the election was run.

    Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer on Saturday called a Trump statement accusing the county of deleting an elections database “unhinged” and called on other Republicans to stop the unfounded accusations

    “We can’t indulge these insane lies any longer. As a party. As a state. As a country,” Richer tweeted.

    He has been open about it ("I am not PC").


    One can be awesome and controversial. It's not one or the other.
    In the case of Trump, I personally think he's bad and controversial but your opinion may vary.

    So, please support your opinion that Trump is not controversial OR that talking about Trump's latest controversy is pathetic because I really don't get where that comes from.
    Trump himself would disagree with you. He loves controversy. He is edgy on purpose.
    Typically every other president has backed out of public life. And let the rest of the party do their due diligence. Trump is not.

    "Trumps Latest Controversy" is an interesting title....

    But if we're going to use it as a title I'm not going to blame Ponti's ra-ra "Orange Man Bad" response. Now what I'm not sure about is if Ponti is snarking a response to the thread title or if he's buying full force into Tucker....whatever. Buying into Tucker or not...no reasonable person should take him seriously...so I have no clue why you wrote this many words.

    The Republican who leads the Maricopa County, Ariz., elections department slammed former President Trump on Saturday, calling his comments on its 2020 election audit “unhinged.”
    “Wow. This is unhinged. I’m literally looking at our voter registration database on my other screen. Right now. We can’t indulge these insane lies any longer. As a party. As a state. As a country. This is as readily falsifiable as 2+2=5. If we don’t call this out…” Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer wrote on Twitter.

    Former President Trump's legal woes are mounting with the news that state and local prosecutors in New York are conducting a joint criminal investigation into his company.

    It's unclear exactly what charges the New York attorney general and the Manhattan district attorney are exploring, but the announcement signals an escalation in the offices' investigations that have at times spilled into public view in recent years. The rare move to publicly announce a criminal probe is also fueling Republican efforts to discredit it.

    The news comes three months after Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance Jr. (D) obtained Trump’s tax returns, ending a protracted legal battle that twice reached the Supreme Court over a grand jury subpoena.

    New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) separately has taken the Trump Organization to court in her own investigation into the company’s assets.

    Former President Trump lashed out Tuesday after it was reported that a grand jury was seated to weigh any criminal evidence against him and his company and decide if indictments should be issued.
    “This is a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt in American history,” Trump lamented, referencing other investigations into Russian election meddling.
    “No other President in history has had to put up with what I have had to, and on top of all that, I have done a great job for our Country, whether it’s taxes, regulations, our Military, Veterans, Space Force, our Borders, speedy creation of a great vaccine (said to be a miracle!), and protecting the Second Amendment,” he added. “This is purely political, and an affront to the almost 75 million voters who supported me in the Presidential Election, and it’s being driven by highly partisan Democrat prosecutors.”
    Smell the fear.

    Lara Trump, the daughter-in-law of former President Trump, called on Americans living at the southern border to “arm up and get guns and be ready” in response to the influx of migrants arriving at the U.S. border.
    “I don’t know what you tell the people that live at the southern border. I guess they better arm up and get guns and be ready, and maybe they’re gonna have to take matters into their own hands,” she said during an appearance on Fox’s “Justice with Judge Jeanine” on Saturday.
    Don't listen to her MAGAs. No matter what she tells you, she won't be there "holding the line" with you. She'll be watching and laughing at you from somewhere safe. You will be charged with murder if you shoot and kill an undocumented person, and she won't have your back or get you out of it. She will deny she encouraged anything. She'll leave you twisting in the wind like her father-in-law did to his special little patriots. Your fate will never so much as cross her mind.

    and predictably, if you corner a man with the power to get 75mln americans to fight and die for you as we saw on Jan 6th, he just might use them if he's going to be imprisoned and have his riches taken away from him.

    Either Trump mounts a coup to save him and his family or he goes into exile to russia or China.

    Sorry, but facts don't magically become false because you don't like them. Nor does an actual documented event cease to be real because you don't like the source reporting on it.

    The documents also revealed that Trump used official White House channels and a private attorney to urge the DOJ to file a lawsuit in the Supreme Court that asked the court to declare that the Electoral College vote in six states Trump lost cannot be counted, and request a special election to vote for president.
    Additionally, the documents illustrated attempts by then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to ask DOJ officials on at least five occasions to pursue claims of election fraud.
    “These documents show that President Trump tried to corrupt our nation’s chief law enforcement agency in a brazen attempt to overturn an election that he lost,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), who chairs the Committee on Oversight and Reform, said in a statement.
    Trump wanted the votes of tens of millions thrown out, like they do in a third world dictatorship, because his tender ego cannot handle loosing.
