Trump Tracker Too (2 Trump 2 Tracker) (8 Viewers)

[EmBeeFiveOhFour]

The football board had the very useful Daily Trump Tracker thread, which was a good place to briefly discuss the latest ridiculous thing that might have ended 97% of prior Presidential administrations even if it didn't necessarily justify an entire thread devoted to it in 2017-2019 (because of the sheer volume of these things). Since I don't see anything like that here already, I'll add one myself.

So apparently Trump gave Lou Holtz the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I didn't bother to look into why, but I am pretty sure he is a trump supporter and that is really the minimum standard which trump uses

 

[MT15]

Yeah, big Trump supporter. pretty sure I saw some tweets from him about voter fraud.

Big supporter. He spoke at the RNC that first night against Biden as a Catholic.

Which former campaign manager? The one he had to pardon or the one who embezzled millions?

Trump has until Monday for DACA to be up and running again. Biden would have done it anyway but forcing Trump to do it feels good.

 

[MT15]

I found a thread again that I think I referenced about Trump’s mental state.

Yeah, big Trump supporter. pretty sure I saw some tweets from him about voter fraud.

I've always thought Lou Holtz was an unmitigated arsehat....the evidence is now overwhelming....

Interesting but I think (hope) far fetched article
===============================

.......And, if in this dream scenario, someone like Georgetown Law professor Rosa Brooks organized67 legal scholars, retired military officers, former senior government officials and political strategists —let’s call them the Transition Integrity Project— to act out every imaginable post-election scenario, how exactly would Trump pull off this supposed coup?

Well, months before the election, someone actually did this and wrote a report (pdf) about ways Trump could conceivably steal the election that he’s totally not doing. But what would Trump hypothetically do?

Well, here are all seven of the possible steps Trump would take if a close and contested election was “resolved through the exercise of power, not through the courts.”

• Calling for recounts in all states in which victory was not already apparent.
• Launching coordinated investigations at the state and federal levels into alleged “voting irregularities” in an effort to undermine public confidence in results that did not go Trump’s way and/or alter the results.
• Attempting to halt the counting of mail-in ballots by filing cases in state court or leaning on Republican leaders to stop vote counting or to certify a result early, without waiting for the certified results from the secretary of state.
• Turning out their well-organized and committed base to take to the streets in Trump’s favor, in part by disseminating disinformation about the danger posed by pro-Biden demonstrators (e.g., by suggesting likely Antifa violence, etc.).
• Relying on both FOX News and right-wing social media to echo and amplify pro-Trump messages and facilitate the harassment and bullying of election officials, to cause chaos and delay and/or to intimidate officials into taking actions that benefited Team Trump
• Using federal agencies to justify or support Trump campaign tactics. In one of the more aggressive moves undertaken in one of the TIP exercises, Team Trump had Attorney General Bill Barr order the seizure of mail-in ballots to ensure that vote counting would stop.......

I'm Not Saying Donald Trump Is Planning a Coup, but He's Doing Exactly What Someone Would Do if They Were Planning a Coup

I’m not the kind of person who shares conspiracy theories. But last night, as I was searching Fo’Chan (It’s like Black Twitter, but for 4Chan) for a leatherbound copy of The Willie Lynch Letter, I happened to run across a few articles on Donald Trump that made my whitey senses tingle (It’s like...

If something like that were to actually happen, the people without the guns in their hands (i.e., civilians, generals, admirals) better sure as shirt believe that the people with the guns in their hands are willing to follow them because failure will mean long prison sentences and death. Just as military enlisted people are required to salute officers, they are required to ignore unlawful orders. The higher the rank, the bigger that responsibility becomes. Soldiers who go to war having each other's back to protect their very lives won't easily turn their weapons on those same people that protected their 6.

Most of those people won't be so easily convinced to follow someone who considers them suckers for putting their life on the line for their country. Frontline officers have been shot in the back for lesser insults.

Still a few more in denial, I see.

I was bored so I just watched that 46 minute video Trump broadcasted on Facebook. Not only is the video simultaneously hilarious, pathetic and terrifying but it's also downright insane. Have any of y'all heard the story about hundreds (maybe thousands) of mail in ballots being stolen while in transit and hidden under a rock? I haven't but that's a claim he made.

Contrasting that video with the super confident and cocky Trump we saw as a candidate in the 2016 election is wild. He'll have delusions of grandeur when he's on his deathbed wearing diapers.

They edited the hell out of that video but they couldn't edit out the air of desperation. Just wow.

I just realized I had something copied in my copy n' paste on my phone and figured it would belong in this thread. Hope it works!

This amuses me regardless of their futures.

I watched like 90% of this supposed stump speech and somehow missed this?

 

[GrandAdmiral]

I missed that mess doing more important stuff. Did he actually mention the senatorial candidates or did he stick to the typical "me, me, me" stump speech?

I have no idea. I'd rather watch LSU get slain by Bammer than listen to a Trump stump. Good grief, he's gonna keep doing this another 4 years right?

CNN just reported that Barr is considering resigning before Trump's term ends. Waiting for a link.
