Still in denial ... 😏

Denial is too kind. He comes across to me like a raving psychopath who can't comprehend that his wish is not everyone else's command.

My favourite one-word adjective for Trump is vile.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

I hope his crowds keep diminishing. I'm starting to feel like a number of people have moved on from him and his childish grievances now.

When it comes to the wheels of US justice, being rich or powerful is like adding wads of bubblegum into the gears.

AP News: Trump election probe grand jury to hear from [Georgia Republican secretary of state] Raffensperger

Georgia’s secretary of state is expected to appear next week before a special grand jury in an investigation into whether former President Donald Trump and others illegally tried to meddle in the 2020 election in the state.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has been summoned to appear before the special grand jury Thursday, according to a subpoena obtained by The Associated Press through an open records request. Five other people in his office have received subpoenas to appear in early June and the office has received a subpoena for documents. State Attorney General Chris Carr has received a subpoena to appear June 21.

Trump directed his ire at Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, after the secretary of state refused to bend to pressure to overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s narrow presidential election victory in Georgia. On Tuesday, Raffensperger won the Republican primary in his quest for reelection, defeating a Trump-endorsed challenger.

Oz says he's earned 'presumptive Republican nomination,' even as Pennsylvania Senate primary recount kicks off.

Washington Post, opinion : Senate candidate Oz shows how Trump still threatens democracy

It was only hours after voting ended that Donald Trump pushed Mehmet Oz, the former president’s favored candidate for Pennsylvania’s open Senate seat, to declare victory in a razor-thin Republican primary — even though votes were still being counted. Two weeks on, the contest is still too close to call. But on Friday, the talk show host turned politician took Mr. Trump’s advice, claiming for himself “the presumptive Republican nomination.” The declaration’s timing appeared to be purposely provocative: It was delivered on the day that a statewide recount began, and as arguments about whether to count thousands of mail-in ballots continued. Fewer than 1,000 votes separate Mr. Oz and David McCormick, his GOP primary rival.

This is yet another clear-as-day warning of how Mr. Trump and his followers sneer at the democratic process and will seek to undermine it if the people make choices he does not like. The Oz episode highlights one key Trump strategy — declaring victory before full election results are in — that the former president embraced in 2020 and might have an easier time executing in 2024. Mr. Trump or another presidential candidate would not need to be ahead in early returns to try to flip the game board. He would just have to make the results seem murky enough to encourage others — state lawmakers, partisan election officials, members of Congress — to declare him the winner.

Looks like the Retrumplicans are gearing up to further destroy the US electoral system.

The plan, as outlined by a Republican National Committee staffer in Michigan, includes utilizing rules designed to provide political balance among poll workers to install party-trained volunteers prepared to challenge voters at Democratic-majority polling places, developing a website to connect those workers to local lawyers and establishing a network of party-friendly district attorneys who could intervene to block vote counts at certain precincts.

This guy could have brought Trump closer to being outsted. He could've made a name for himself. Instead, he's a convicted criminal.

Michael Avenatti sentenced to 4 years for defrauding Stormy Daniels - The Washington Post

Attorney Michael Avenatti was sentenced Thursday to four years in prison on charges related to taking $300,000 from his former client Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress who accused Donald Trump of pressuring her into silence about an alleged 2008 sexual encounter.

The Daniels trial, which took place in New York, was Avenatti’s third federal criminal case in two years. He was previously convicted in New York of trying to extort Nike Inc., and charges are pending in California in a case in which he’s accused of stealing funds from his law firm; an earlier trial on those charges ended in a mistrial over a technical issue.

Avenatti is serving a 30-month prison sentence in the Nike case. His attorneys said Thursday that 30 months of the sentence in the Daniels case will run consecutively to that punishment, meaning that Avenatti’s total sentence in both cases is 60 months, or five years.

Poor Stormy Daniels.

If Trump was a celestial object, he'd be a red giant star.

A huge and indestructible ball of gas. Even in its slow march to death he slowly grows to destroy everything in its orbit.

I do love that the US is the "Home of Democracy" and the leader of the free world...

It's got to be one of the most politically corrupt places on earth. And many of their voting public just don't see it.

That is classic! I know the "election fraud, I'm the victim, boohoo, look at me" crap he endlessly repeats plays great to his base, but his base doesn't make up the electorate. He has 0 interest in working with Democrats, and while Joe may not be wonderful I feel he's the president America needs right now.

2024 will be interesting and worrying at the same time. If they really are stupid enough to vote Trump in again, well (and I hate saying this) America really deserves all it gets.

I feel for people like this guy though: https://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff-nation/128835638/i-feel-grief-and-guilt-for-being-american

The 2020 prequel to this article ...

The Atlantic - The Tedium of Trump

September 28, 2020

No matter how many crazy things happen, the fundamentals are the same: The president is a greedy racist and misogynist who does not understand his job.

Donald Trump has built his public persona around the central importance of grabbing attention - whether his actions provoke delight or fury.

And yet he is, and has long been, boring.

Four years into his presidency, Trump isn’t boring in the way a dull, empty afternoon is boring.

Trump is boring in the way that the seventh season of a reality-television show is boring: A lot is happening, but there’s nothing to say about it.

The president is a man without depths to plumb.

What you see is what you get, and what you get is the same mix of venality, solipsism, and racial hatred that has long been obvious.

The Washington Post - Opinion - The Trump census sabotage campaign might have backfired

02 June 2022 (condensed)

In 2020, President Donald Trump tried to sabotage the census, the once-a-decade constitutionally mandated tallying of the U.S. population that determines how much political representation, federal money and other benefits communities receive. ...

He hoped to increase Republican representation and minimize Democrats’.

New numbers the Census Bureau released last month suggest that he managed to do substantial damage both to the integrity of the process and to the confidence the public places in it.

The bureau reported that it significantly undercounted the population in six states, and overcounted the population in eight ...

Blacks, Hispanics and Native Americans living on reservations were undercounted, while Whites and Asian Americans were overcounted. ...

The undercounts might have deprived Florida and Texas - both red states with large minority populations - of congressional seats. ...

Minnesota and Rhode Island, which are Whiter and run by Democrats, possibly retained congressional seats their population sizes did not warrant. ...

That their plan to corrupt the census appears to have backfired does not absolve the former president and those in his administration ...
