========== Trump vetoes defense appropriation! https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/23/us/politics/trump-veto-defense-spending-bill.html Too hard on Confederates, not hard enough on Facebook and Twitter.

But you can see why Trump wouldn't consider it a crime to lie to the FBI or misuse campaign funds or insider information, if it were him or one of his supporters. Oddly, Trump pardoned a man who "has maintained a clean record and a strong marriage for nearly 70 years, attended the same church for 60 years, and regularly participated in charity fundraising events". What would Trump possible have in common with him? And what else happened? After Congress spent six months whittling down Democratic demands to something that Republican senators would support, at least until the Georgia runoff, Trump threatened to veto the whole thing for a variety of reasons - probably the real one is lack of punishment for Facebook and Twitter, but he mostly talked about wanting a $2000 direct payment for covid relief, even for people who don't need it. This is absolutely a non-starter in the Republican Senate caucus, and Democrats are delighted to see them squirm. The DEMOCRATIC candidates in the Georgia Senate runoff quickly endorsed the idea. https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-legislation-coronavirus-pandemic-latin-america-91cceebf9d788d4525ffb85fadb2b151 He capped the day by saying his might be the next administration after all - and how might that come to pass constitutionally? https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-maybe-next-administration-will-be-me-denies-election-results-2020-12 == topic trump ===== comments 1 impact 184 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2020-12-22 ratio 4 react 7 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 5 title Republicans, there's still time to impeach or 25th topic trump wordrate 0 words 263 audclicks 5 audreach 4 commentsimpress 1 commentsusers 1 engaged 4 ID 1320097951668054 impress 32 likeclickusers 4 likeuimpress 28 likeuusers 26 matchedlinkclicks 4 matchedotherclicks 1 oimpress 32 oreach 28 posted "12/22/2020 10:07:58 PM" postlinkclicks 4 postotherclicks 1 reach 28 sharesimpress 1 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1320097951668054 ========== Lessons to learn from Berlusconi https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/opinion/berlusconi-italy-trump.html == topic trump 1 ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2020-11-11 priority 1 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Lessons to learn from Berlusconi topic trump wordrate 0 words 9 ID 1288544261490090 impress 29 likeuimpress 23 likeuusers 21 oimpress 29 oreach 22 posted "11/11/2020 10:08:45 AM" reach 22 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1288544261490090 ========== Tired of throwing good money after bad! https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-election-deutsche-bank/exclusive-tired-of-trump-deutsche-bank-games-ways-to-sever-ties-with-the-president-sources-idUSL1N2HP0UF -- topic trump 1 ===== comments 1 impact 15 impactrate 0 likeimpress 5 negative 0 posted 2020-11-03 priority 1 ratio 3 react 14 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 7 title Tired of throwing good money after bad! topic trump wordrate 0 words 11 audclicks 7 audreach 6 commentsimpress 1 commentsusers 1 engaged 11 ID 1281699088841274 impress 62 likeclickusers 11 likeimpress 5 likeuimpress 47 likeusers 5 likeuusers 44 matchedlinkclicks 5 matchedotherclicks 2 oimpress 62 oreach 52 posted "11/03/2020 07:47:30 AM" postlinkclicks 5 postotherclicks 2 reach 52 sharesimpress 1 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1281699088841274 ========== The political case against Trump Incompetence, corruption, ignorance - how many strikes do you get before you are out?

If all his defenses fail, Trump has to think about what happens next. He'll surely be in immediate legal trouble with the state of New York. And there might be civil litigation from private citizens and the IRS and other government agencies after Biden's inauguration. It might be best to resign from his current term in exchange for a pardon from Pence, and fly off to some friendlier reception abroad before the news is announced. Then if by some chicanery his supporters finally get him declared elected, he can fly back for his inauguration, freshly pardoned and ready to exact vengeance on his enemies. == topic trump ===== impact 12 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2020-09-30 ratio 20 react 1 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title What should Trump do if looks like Biden is going to win topic trump wordrate 0 words 122 audclicks 1 audreach 1 engaged 1 ID 1253529981658185 impress 32 likeclickusers 1 likeuimpress 20 likeuusers 18 matchedotherclicks 1 oimpress 32 oreach 20 posted "09/30/2020 10:01:03 PM" postotherclicks 1 reach 20 type Status URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1253529981658185 ========== How would Trump react if this story were about Obama? https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/ Trump wouldn't care if it actually happened because it coincides with how he FEELS about Obama.

So instead of trying for criminal charges, there could be a Truth Commission to which persons can report information about malfeasant former Trump administration figures. It has authorization to publicize its investigations and conclusions and adequate budget for that. The Commission can report its findings to the Justice Dept which can make the political calculations whether to prosecute or not. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/08/05/if-biden-wins-post-trump-corruption-purge-will-have-be-epic/ In one of the James Bond novels, perhaps From Russia With Love, the KGB officer quotes a real or imaginary Russian revolutionary along the lines of "it does not suffice to kill a man, you must also kill his reputation". In terms of weaning off Trumpism that part of the Trump base that can be weaned, it might indeed be counter-productive in the short term to prosecute Trump on Federal criminal charges. But exhaustively and objectively documenting all his betrayals of his base of voters, in favor of his base of donors, might be helpful for weaning. It should go on at least as long as Benghazi or the Clinton email investigations. It always seemed that Trump's best bet was to resign in exchange for complete pardon from Pence. But presidential pardon doesn't exclude civil suit or state criminal prosecution. It is perhaps most important to prosecute all the political appointees in the Trump administration that were found to break the law.
