Trumpism is not logical

[3017Metaphysician]

To remind you I was talking about Trump supporters adopting socialist principles and solutions to their crisis, but at the same time attacking the government for being "socialist".

You respond with some guff about exaggerating political opponents by characterising them as extremists.

You missed the obvious point.

Do I have to spell it out for you so that it is more simply minded?

Please, if you are able to do so!

Chicago Tribune Calls For Trump's Name To Be 'Jackhammered' Off City Skyscraper:

The Chicago Tribune, a one-time defender of Donald Trump’s rights, now wants his name “jackhammered” off the former president’s prominent hotel and condo tower in downtown Chicago, declared in an editorial headline Thursday.

Trump battled in 2014 to plaster his name on the Trump International Hotel and Tower, despite opposition by Chicagoans who thought it gauche and ugly in a section of skyline with no other egomaniacs who insisted on plastering their giant names on their buildings.

Trump Organization Trial Uncovers Secrets From Bonus Scams to His-and-Hers Benzes:

Every December, the Trump Organization would cut a check to a mail room employee. In a good year, the check was for $5,975. In less prosperous times, it was closer to $4,000. It didn’t matter to the mail room guy. The money wasn’t for him.

His job was to cash the check at a local bank, lug the bills back to Trump Tower, take the elevator to the 26th floor and hand the money over to Allen Weisselberg, the company’s longtime chief financial officer. Weisselberg would then use it to tip garage attendants, his apartment doormen and others over the holidays, the jury learned in the criminal tax fraud trial of two Trump Organization business units that ended Tuesday.

Weisselberg used the free cash to live large, saving the Trump Organization from paying taxes on it as well, the jurors heard. Among the other expedients: dispensing fat bonuses as nonemployee compensation, providing his-and-hers Mercedes-Benzes for the Weisselbergs and covering their grandchildren’s private school tuition.

The annual Christmas kitty was just one of a jackpot of undeclared perks used to disguise taxable compensation, the jury was told in a monthlong trial that laid bare a remarkable array of squirrelly business practices at the closely held real estate empire. Now, even as Trump runs for a second term, the company that set him on his path to the White House in 2016, long an intensely private enterprise, has been branded a felon, its secrets on raw display for weeks in open court and in the news — the gamble Trump made in going to trial.

“The Trump Organization was a family business, privately held and not subject to outside scrutiny,” said Barbara McQuade, a former federal prosecutor who now teaches at the University of Michigan’s law school.

No longer.

After less than two days of deliberation, the jury in New York state court in Manhattan returned convictions on all 17 counts against the two companies, including conspiracy, criminal tax fraud and falsifying business records. While Donald Trump himself wasn’t charged, prosecutors argued he was aware of the games being played by Weisselberg and other senior executives under his nose and had “explicitly sanctioned tax fraud.”

Starting today (Jan 6th committee), this week, this month and continuing for the next year or two, it looks as though truth will finally emerge/prevail (Trump's tax records may be released to the public in their entirety-this month-like any other president's/from the 2016 legal battles) and perhaps the GOP will cut bait. We shall see!!!

Remember, when they formed the Jan 6th committee there was a push to have an equal amount of GOP folks, but McCarthy and company decided not to participate (so that they can somehow say it wasn't legit). Not participating gives them a political-out. Shame on them!

Well, at least Liz Chaney, Kinsinger and a few others are seekers of the truth!!!! I'm still keeping the bilge pumps working, but time is running out ya'll!!!!!

Time Magazine: "Trump Should Be Prosecuted, Jan. 6 Committee Declares in Historic Criminal Referral"

The House Jan. 6 Committee voted on Monday to refer criminal charges against Donald Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election, the first time a congressional committee has made such a declaration against a former President. The nine-member committee unanimously agreed that there was enough evidence for the Department of Justice to pursue at least four charges: obstructing an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the government, make false statements, and assisting an insurrection.

It will be up to the Justice Department – specifically Special Counsel Jack Smith, who Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed last month to take over criminal investigations involving Trump – to decide whether to bring charges or not.

“The entire nation knows who is responsible for that day," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Monday. "Beyond that, I don’t have any immediate observations.”

"During the last ninth public hearing in October, the panel revealed that Hutchinson and Alyssa Farah, a former White House aide, testified that former President Donald Trump privately acknowledged his 2020 election loss. Hutchinson specifically recalled Trump telling her former boss, then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, "I don’t want people to know we lost, Mark. This is embarrassing. Figure it out.”


WOW, what a fraud. Sounds like he couldn't stand to lose, even if it costs the lives and livelihood of other's! What a bad apple. It's all about Donny!!

McConnell calls out 'diminished' Trump, vows not to bow to his candidates in 2024

Just some sound bites:

“Here’s what I think has changed: I think the former president’s political clout has diminished,” McConnell told NBC News on Wednesday in a wide-ranging interview in his Capitol Hill office.

“We lost support that we needed among independents and moderate Republicans, primarily related to the view they had of us as a party — largely made by the former president — that we were sort of nasty and tended toward chaos,” McConnell said. “And oddly enough, even though that subset of voters did not approve of President Biden, they didn’t have enough confidence in us in several instances to give us the majority we needed.”
