I'd rather that image than Trump in a maid's uniform with no knickers.

The New York Times - Trump Officials Illegally Campaigned While in Office, Watchdog Finds

09 Nov 2021

WASHINGTON - Thirteen of President Donald J. Trump’s most senior aides - including his son-in-law and his chief of staff - campaigned illegally for Mr. Trump’s re-election in violation of a law designed to prevent federal employees from abusing the power of their offices on behalf of candidates, a government watchdog agency said Tuesday.

Henry Kerner, who heads the Office of Special Counsel, made the assertion in a withering report that followed a nearly yearlong investigation into “myriad” violations of the law, known as the Hatch Act.

“Senior Trump administration officials chose to use their official authority not for the legitimate functions of the government, but to promote the re-election of President Trump in violation of the law,” ...

“The administration’s willful disregard for the law was especially pernicious considering the timing of when many of these violations took place,” the report said.

Liz Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Her fierce criticism of Trump and her insistence that Congress investigate the Capitol attack resulted in her being removed from her position as GOP conference chair and led to a serious primary challenge in Wyoming. Cheney, a daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has framed Trump and the Jan. 6 insurrection as an existential fight for the Republican Party and for democracy itself.

At a First Amendment Awards event she said

"...A former president who is attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional republic, aided by political leaders who have made themselves willing hostages to this dangerous and irrational man.

Just last night, former president Trump was invited by house Republican leaders to be the keynote speaker at our annual large fundraising dinner.

At the dinner, he reportedly said once again that the insurrection was on November 3, and that the events of January 6, when a violent mob invaded the capitol in an effort to overturn the will of the American people and stop the constitutional process of the counting of electoral votes, that those events were a protest, that they were justified.

Political leaders who sit silent in the face of these false and dangerous claims are aiding a former president who is at war with the rule of law and the constitution. When our constitutional order is threatened, as it is now, rising above partisanship is not simply an aspiration, it is an obligation, and obligation of every one of us.

Now, I am a conservative Republican. I disagree strongly with nearly everything president Biden has done since he has been in office.
...
But I love my country more. I know this nation needs a Republican party that is based on truth, one that puts forward our ideals and our policies based on substance, one that is willing to reject the former president's lies, one that is willing to tell the truth, that millions of Americans have been tragically misled by former president Trump, who continues to this day to use language that he knows provoked violence on January 6.

We need a Republican party that is led by people who remember that the peaceful transfer of power is the sacred, and it undergirds the very foundations of our republic. We need Republican leaders who remember that fidelity to the constitution, fidelity to the rule of law, those are the most conservative of conservative principles.

In the months since January 6, I have sometimes heard people say something like, well, what happened was bad, but it wasn't that big a deal because our institutions held. To those people, I say out institutions do not defend themselves. We the people defend them.

Our institutions held on January 6 because there were brave men and women, elected officials at every level of our government who did their duty, who stood up for what was right, who resisted pressure to do otherwise. And our institutions held because of the bravery of the men and women in law enforcement and in our military, our capitol police, some of whom are here with us today, our metropolitan police, the [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives], men and women in law enforcement who defended the most sacred space in our republic, our capitol building. Our institutions held because there were 140 law enforcement officers who fought for hours and held the tunnel on the west front of the capitol, preventing a violent mob of even more, thousands more, from entering our building. Because of those brave men and women, congress was a safe and we carried out our constitutional duty to county electoral votes. That is why our institutions held.

Because men and women of courage and honor recognized one of the most fundamental principles in a republic, and that is the principle that no citizen in a republic is a bystander. No one is. Every one of us is called to defend this great experiment, government, by, and for the people.

geekIT: I'd rather that image than Trump in a maid's uniform with no knickers.

Curators of Quirk - Donald Trump said dress like a woman. Point taken.

April 2017

What do you do when a head of state of a politically important country issues a directive that says, all [White House] women employees should dress like women?

But how should women employees dress? That’s when Dutch artist Jet Nijkamp decided to decipher what Trump meant, by dressing him up in women’s clothes.

She dug up a few newspapers that had Trump plastered over it and went to work with her box of pastels. ...

Here are examples of her work - visit the website for more images:

Cripes, Trump will be absolutely seething at the outcome of those court cases. Quite deservedly, too.

Not that Trump reads, but someone will tell him. This is going to piss off Trump futher.

Washington Post: Christie takes a jab at Trump for losing last year’s election

Former New Jersey Republican governor Chris Christie took at a jab at Donald Trump for losing last year’s election, signaling a willingness to spar with the former president as they both consider 2024 White House bids.

“I’m not gonna get into a back-and-forth with Donald Trump,” Christie said in an interview for an upcoming episode of “Axios on HBO.” “But what I will say is this: When I ran for reelection in 2013, I got 60 percent of the vote. When he ran for reelection, he lost to Joe Biden.”

“I’m happy to have that comparison stand up, because that’s the one that really matters,” Christie added.

speaking at [a recent] Republican conference, Christie sought to make the case that Republicans should stop focusing on last year’s election, an exercise he characterized as “wasting time.”

That did not sit well with Trump...

...Trump claimed that Christie had been “absolutely massacred” for his comments at the conference.

“Everybody remembers that Chris left New Jersey with a less than 9% approval rating — a record low, and they didn’t want to hear this from him!” Trump said of Christie.
