Donald John Trump is a mental disaster who cannot avoid exposing his criminality because he doesn’t TRULY understand how to keep his mouth shut – he has a pathological NEED to brag about his “accomplishments” with absolutely no clue about what is “legal” and what is not.
He is the “archetype” of the person who has not grown up nor been taught any type of ‘socialization’.
He has been and forever will be an individual who is “stuck” at the mental stage of “everything is about me” which MOST children grow out of BEFORE entering school, or, at least, very soon thereafter – Donnie John is an almost unique mental anomaly which will be studied under a microscope for generations.
And this “study” will, in all likelihood, take place somewhere else, as America is quickly sliding into another “dark age” where science is suspect and even reviled and things, once again “go ‘bump’ in the night”. (This is what happens when “truth” is allowed to be ignored or at least twisted to fit someone’s agenda.)
Donald Trump Promoting ‘Solicitation of Crime’ With Jan. 6 Pardons—Legal Expert
Donald Trump’s promise to pardon his supporters who attacked the Capitol shows he is openly “assuring insurrectionists” they will not face repercussions for their actions as well as openly promoting “solicitation of crime,” according to a legal expert.
The former president has been criticized after he recently told a crowd of his supporters at a rally in Texas that he would pardon those who attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021, in support of his “rigged” election conspiracy if he is voted into the White House again.
Trump has since doubled down on his remarks, telling Newsmax that he would “absolutely” pardon those convicted over the January 6 riot, while attacking Senator Lindsey Graham who suggested the remarks were “inappropriate” and could fuel further violence.
Speaking to Newsweek, Barbara McQuade, a University of Michigan law professor and U.S attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan from 2010 to 2017, said that Trump’s comments about former Vice President Mike Pence and the January 6 rioters are not only “particularly troubling” but also encouraging future attacks.
Every now and then, I’m reminded of something Donald Trump did as president that sounds so bizarre that for a moment I think I must have imagined the entire thing. It happened again on Tuesday when the Washington Post reported that some of the records sent to the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection had been torn up and taped back together. The Post noted that the former president of the United States was known to habitually rip up documents when he was finished with them, “which forced aides to attempt to piece them back together in order to comply with the Presidential Records Act.”
Armed with rolls of clear Scotch tape, Lartey and his colleagues would sift through large piles of shredded paper and put them back together, he said, “like a jigsaw puzzle.” Sometimes the papers would just be split down the middle, but other times they would be torn into pieces so small they looked like confetti.
It was a painstaking process that was the result of a clash between legal requirements to preserve White House records and President Donald Trump’s odd and enduring habit of ripping up papers when he’s done with them — what some people described as his unofficial “filing system.”
Lartey and his colleague Reginald Young Jr. said this practice was still going on in the spring of 2018 when the two career government officials were fired with no explanation.
The Post notes that this could be a crime, “as White House documents torn up by Trump are clearly the property of the government under the Presidential Records Act.”
“I saw him put a note in his mouth,” she writes in her book. “Since Trump was ever the germaphobe, I was shocked he appeared to be chewing and swallowing the paper. It must have been something very, very sensitive.”
How Trump’s extremism turned the Oath Keepers from keyboard warriors into seditious coup plotters
“Great Replacement theory,” a conspiracy that sinister forces are replacing white people with dark hordes from backwards cultures. If that sounds like an idea halfway between red-faced Nazis screaming, “Jews will not replace us” and Tucker Carlson ranting about poor, dirty immigrants invading America, that’s because it is.
It is besides the point that the claim is a vile lie. Trump was cranking up the cycle of far-right extremism again. It’s a ploy that goes back to the 1990s when Pat Buchanan normalized “overt white supremacy” and authoritarianism among Republicans, and it’s a tool Trump has mastered to further his divide-and-rule strategy.
There is a method to how Trump uses extremism and why he makes the right more and more extreme. He spreads poison that bubbles up from below, Islamophobia, bashing immigrants, crude racism, misogyny, and transphobia. The targets of his bigotry are turned into scapegoats that he uses to rile up his followers who have been primed by right-wing media to crave easy answers, enemies, and violence. Scapegoating leads to bans: on Muslims, abortion, books, teaching racism, protests, transgender people.
The Oath Keepers are the largest far-right group advocating violence. A leaked database in 2021 contained 38,000 email addresses of possible current and former members. Unlike many other extremists, they formed years before Trump was on the scene and were slow to join his camp. But they were eventually swept up in Trump’s violent conspiracism and are a dire omen of where the Republican Party is headed.
Oath Keepers allied with other violence-prone conspiracists such as “constitutional sheriffs” who reject federal authority, the Islamophobic Three Percenter militia, and old-line conspiracists like the John Birch Society.
Judge smacks down chief Oath Keeper’s ploy to have his detention moved to Texas
Rhodes had sought the change to be closer to his lawyers, who are based in Texas. However, the judge disagreed this was a necessary accommodation, ruling, “The court will not grant Mr. Rhodes more favorable treatment than those similarly-situated defendants.”
I am just waiting to see what the few R’s and former R’s with integrity are going to do. Out in Utah, McMullin is running for Senate against Mike Lee as an independent, and I’d bet he’ll get Romney’s endorsement.
