Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

[KidTDragon]

Speaking of cults culting:

Republicans push multiple bills to honor Donald Trump

Recent legislation introduced by House GOP members includes an attempt to rename an airport after the former president.

www.newsweek.com

TL;DR: House Republicans want to:

• Rename areas of water around the U.S. after Trump
• Rename Dulles Airport after Trump
• Put Trump's portrait on a $500 bill
• Award Trump the Congressional Gold Medal

Can they get to the mass suicide phase already?

 

[wonko the sane?]

Do you honestly trust the likes of traitor greene to know how to mix flavour-aid properly?

 

[Shadhausen]

If they really want to name a body of water after Drumpf there's always the New York City sewer system.

Currently there is a rule that no living person can be on currency. I don't know how easy that would be to repeal, but there must be some kind of hierarchy to the system. It'd be kind of silly to pass a law that says you can't pass certain kinds of laws, because you can just easily write that certain kind of law and prepend it with "First off, the law that says we can't pass this law is repealed. Now then..."

 

[wonko the sane?]

You presented a problem with a built in solution.

Donald really thinks everyone else is as petty as he is.

Trump wants business leaders who fail to support him to be fired

Donald Trump escalated his offensive against business skeptics, calling for private-sector leaders to be fired for failing to support his pursuit of power.

Well guys, it's over. Trump had a cowboy ride in and has quashed the Hush Money verdict. So sad. We're doomed.

Missouri AG sues New York for unleashing 'unconstitutional lawfare' against Trump

The top prosecutor in the "Show-Me" State picked a legal fight Thursday against the "Empire State" for its prosecutions of former President Donald Trump. "I will be filing suit against the State of New York for their direct attack on our democratic process through unconstitutional lawfare...

Now that I've done my best Paladin impression, yeah this gets tossed before it's even filed. Missouri doesn't have standing to sue New York for following it's own laws and if anyone allows this to go through, you've just made the entire legal system moot.

Ironbite-dude's performing for Trump in hopes of getting either a DoJ job or Federal Bench Appointment.

 

[wonko the sane?]

The fact that he's tapping that kind of resource just goes to show how desperate he is. He'll burn political clout like coal until... and say it with me, trump loses in november.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Maybe it's just a trick to indirectly get the New York case in front of the Supreme Court faster than it would get there through normal appeals. Maybe he's hoping they'll do that thing again where they use a case in front of them to decide an issue that's not in front of them.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

At the least, running it up to the Supreme Court will delay any further proceedings. Delay is Trump's main strategy right now

 

[wonko the sane?]

Delay is his only strategy: he lies compulsively already, and doesn't have anything else.

Come Aug. 6, voters will decide to stay with Bailey or put their support behind Will Scharf, Trump's attorney who has been a mainstay in the news counterpunching for the gag-ordered convicted presidential contender.

Come on, Missouri. This can't be the best you can do. It just can't.

And the cult is hard at work insisting the Emperor still has only the best clothing.

Republicans Gag Mentions of Trump’s Conviction

New York Times: “The history-making felony conviction of former President Donald Trump has raised some historic questions for the House’s rules of decorum, which have existed for centuries but can be bent to the will of whichever party controls the majority-driven chamber.”“The Republica

So if Trump gets sent to prison, is that already covered or will they have to add a new rule that Trump's accomodations must be referred to as his "temporary high-security holiday home"?

 

[KidTDragon]

They'll insist that his cell be referred to as "Behind-Bar-A-Lago".

Come on, Missouri. This can't be the best you can do. It just can't.

Speaking as a kansan, with that historical dislike sown deep since childhood, no they really can't.
Missouri (and I'll say this grudgingly) much like Kansas, has a few areas/cities where progress has been made. However, in between there are a ton of agriculture based towns that live in the NewsMax/Infowars sphere. And when the plowing is done, many of those people have nothing but time to let their feelings be known.

and add SNOPES to the list of media outlets falling in line for Dear Leader.

I would be willing to call that a “context issue” rather than an overt play to appease Trump. He did NOT, in fact, say “White Supremecists/Neo Nazis are very fine people”. He used the term for BOTH sides of the protest (Which, by virtue of one side BEING predominantly of that group, lead to the inference of Trump stating White Supremecist/Neo Nazis are “very fine people”).

Edit: Snopes amended the article TWO DAYS ago (a day after the article’s publication), reflecting the context of the article.

No, Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists 'Very Fine People'

However, the accuracy of what Trump did claim – that there were "very fine people on both sides" of the 2017 Unite the Right debacle – is in question.
