Recently, the Wisconsin state Supreme Court dismissed a Trump campaign lawsuit challenging the election outcome in the state — and after the ruling, two of the court’s liberal justices, who voted against the campaign, faced misogynistic and anti-Semitic threats and online hatred. On Friday, Wisconsin state Supreme Court Chief Justice Patience Roggensack condemned the comments that her colleagues, Jill Karofsky and Rebecca Dallet, have faced. Although conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn sided against the Trump campaign in the recent ruling against their challenge to the Wisconsin election outcome, Roggensack, a fellow conservative, supported the campaign’s position — and she was unequivocal in her condemnation of the hate that Karofsky and Dallet have endured.
Roggensack said, in part, as follows:
‘I acknowledge that all members of the public have the constitutional right to speak in criticism of public servants, which certainly includes all justices of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

In the recent Wisconsin state Supreme Court ruling against the Trump campaign, four of the court’s justices concluded that “challenges to the established election rules should have come before the polls closed,” Madison.com explains. In other words, the Trump campaign waited too long for their challenges to remain valid — although it’s unclear that the court would have suddenly ruled in Trump’s favor if he’d brought the case earlier. Post-election court rulings against Trump have covered just about all possible avenues for his arguments.
Trump personally targeted Hagedorn — who sided with the Wisconsin state Supreme Court’s three liberal justices — on Twitter after the ruling, complaining, in part, as follows:
‘After my endorsement, Hagedorn easily won! WOW, he just voted against me in a Big Court Decision on voter fraud (of which there was much!), despite many pages of dissent from three highly respected Justices… Republicans in Wisconsin should take these 3 strong decisions to their State Legislators and overturn this ridiculous State Election. We won in a LANDSLIDE!’
Trump did not win the election, let alone with a landslide. More acutely, Trump’s insistence on targeting individuals who oppose his political positions helps provide cover for hatred like that which Dallet and Karofsky have faced. For some of his most fervent followers, he’s turned politics into a cultish hate-fest, threatening the stability of American democracy. His followers take his lies seriously.

Carone became the subject of a Saturday Night Live skit that pointed out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ claims made about the election .
According to Law & Crime , attorneys Thomas Clare and Megan Meier wrote in the letter : ‘ You gained international infamy earlier this month as Rudy Giuliani ’ s so-called ‘ star witness ’ who could supposedly corroborate outlandish accusations that Dominion has somehow rigged or otherwise improperly influenced the outcome of the Nov. 2020 U.S. presidential election .

bipartisanreport--2020-12-26--Trump Rants Over The Election ‘SCAM’, ‘Mitch’, & Fake News Media

On Saturday morning , the day after Christmas , President Donald Trump freaked out on Twitter about topics ranging from the defense spending bill that he recently vetoed to the imaginary fraud that he claims plagued the recently concluded presidential election .
In all , he posted at least 14 tweets and retweets on Saturday morning , sounding rather utterly desperate in the process .
Among other whining , Trump complained that the defense spending bill “ renames & destroys our forts & National Monuments , ” taking issue with the provision in the legislation that would remove the names @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump also reiterated his support for ending legal liability protections for social media companies , with which he has petulantly feuded .
As for the imaginary widespread election fraud that Trump claims swung the election to Biden , the president sounds like he ’ s living in delusion .
In one post , Trump characterized the imaginary pro-Biden fraud as an “ act of war , ” which is disturbingly cultish and violent language from the sitting president of the United States .
Trump complained that “ Mitch & the Republicans do NOTHING @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” as if there ’ s pretty much no segment of society outside of his base of supporters that Trump would be unwilling to suggest is complicit or in cahoots with a conspiracy against him .
A top agency at the Department of Homeland Security , ex-U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr , and local election officials around the country have all confirmed that there is no legitimate evidence of systematic , election outcome-altering fraud .
Judges around the country , including a slew of Trump ’ s own appointees , have unequivocally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ judges in on the imaginary fraud as well ?
On Saturday , Trump even petulantly complained about the Justice Department .
He tweeted as follows : Continuing to parade his inane grievances before the American people , who are struggling through the economic and public health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic , Trump also whined that John Durham , a U.S. Attorney who Barr tasked with investigating the origins of the Russia investigation , hadn ’ t come up with charges , or something .
Trump claimed that his opponents “ spied on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and others ) , and got caught , ” which is false .
The Obama administration ’ s judicially-supervised surveillance of an ex-Trump aide once that individual , Carter Page , no longer worked with Trump does not in any reasonable way equal spying on the Trump campaign .
Continuing his public whine-fest , Trump also complained that the U.S. Supreme Court — where three of his appointees currently sit — “ has been totally incompetent and weak on the massive Election Fraud that took place in the 2020 Presidential Election.
” No @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agreed with Trump ’ s fraud claims .

On Saturday morning, the day after Christmas, President Donald Trump freaked out on Twitter about topics ranging from the defense spending bill that he recently vetoed to the imaginary fraud that he claims plagued the recently concluded presidential election. In all, he posted at least 14 tweets and retweets on Saturday morning, sounding rather utterly desperate in the process. Among other whining, Trump complained that the defense spending bill “renames & destroys our forts & National Monuments,” taking issue with the provision in the legislation that would remove the names of Confederate leaders from military installations. Trump also reiterated his support for ending legal liability protections for social media companies, with which he has petulantly feuded.
Our $740 defense bill is a gift to China, Russia & Big Tech. It fails to terminate the internationally dangerous Section 230, won’t allow us to bring our troops back home (where they belong), renames & destroys our forts & National Monuments, & makes 5G almost impossible! https://t.co/txJle9Ezlg — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2020
I will not stand by and watch this travesty of a bill happen without reigning in Big Tech. End Section 230 now, before it is too late. So bad for our Country. Show courage, and do what’s right!!! https://t.co/V99lShpLCe — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2020
As for the imaginary widespread election fraud that Trump claims swung the election to Biden, the president sounds like he’s living in delusion. In one post, Trump characterized the imaginary pro-Biden fraud as an “act of war,” which is disturbingly cultish and violent language from the sitting president of the United States. Trump complained that “Mitch & the Republicans do NOTHING, just want to let it pass,” as if there’s pretty much no segment of society outside of his base of supporters that Trump would be unwilling to suggest is complicit or in cahoots with a conspiracy against him. A top agency at the Department of Homeland Security, ex-U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, and local election officials around the country have all confirmed that there is no legitimate evidence of systematic, election outcome-altering fraud.
Judges around the country, including a slew of Trump’s own appointees, have unequivocally rejected the president claims. Are these judges in on the imaginary fraud as well? On Saturday, Trump even petulantly complained about the Justice Department. He tweeted as follows:
‘The “Justice” Department and the FBI have done nothing about the 2020 Presidential Election Voter Fraud, the biggest SCAM in our nation’s history, despite overwhelming evidence. They should be ashamed. History will remember. Never give up. See everyone in D.C. on January 6th.’
If a Democrat Presidential Candidate had an Election Rigged & Stolen, with proof of such acts at a level never seen before, the Democrat Senators would consider it an act of war, and fight to the death. Mitch & the Republicans do NOTHING, just want to let it pass. NO FIGHT! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2020

They should be ashamed. History will remember. Never give up. See everyone in D.C. on January 6th. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2020
Continuing to parade his inane grievances before the American people, who are struggling through the economic and public health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump also whined that John Durham, a U.S. Attorney who Barr tasked with investigating the origins of the Russia investigation, hadn’t come up with charges, or something. Trump claimed that his opponents “spied on my campaign, colluded with Russia (and others), and got caught,” which is false. The Obama administration’s judicially-supervised surveillance of an ex-Trump aide once that individual, Carter Page, no longer worked with Trump does not in any reasonable way equal spying on the Trump campaign.
Where the hell is the Durham Report? They spied on my campaign, colluded with Russia (and others), and got caught. Read the Horowitz Reports about Comey & McCabe. Even the Fake News @nytimes said “bad”. They tried it all, and failed, so now they are trying to steal the election! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2020
Continuing his public whine-fest, Trump also complained that the U.S. Supreme Court — where three of his appointees currently sit — “has been totally incompetent and weak on the massive Election Fraud that took place in the 2020 Presidential Election.” No legitimate authority anywhere in the country has agreed with Trump’s fraud claims.
The U.S. Supreme Court has been totally incompetent and weak on the massive Election Fraud that took place in the 2020 Presidential Election. We have absolute PROOF, but they don’t want to see it – No “standing”, they say. If we have corrupt elections, we have no country! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2020
A young military man working in Afghanistan told me that elections in Afghanistan are far more secure and much better run than the USA’s 2020 Election. Ours, with its millions and millions of corrupt Mail-In Ballots, was the election of a third world country. Fake President! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2020
I simply want to get our great people $2000, rather than the measly $600 that is now in the bill. Also, stop the billions of dollars in “pork”. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 26, 2020

On Thursday , D.C. District Court judge Amit Mehta dismissed a defamation lawsuit that Rep. Devin Nunes ( R-Calif. ) brought against The Washington Post .
Nunes had challenged the publication in March over a story that he alleged misrepresented an alleged conversation that he had with President Donald Trump about ex-acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire , and currently , Nunes has a separate defamation lawsuit pending against the same publication over a November story in which the Post referenced a visit to the White House that Nunes made in 2017 while serving as chairman of the House @ @ @ @ @ @ @ panel ’ s Russia investigation .
There ’ s no apparent particular indication of imminent legal success for Nunes , who ’ s filed over half a dozen defamation lawsuits , including a case against Twitter over parody accounts on the site going by “ Devin Nunes ’ Cow ” and “ Devin Nunes ’ Mom.

In other words , Marshall refused to hold Twitter legally responsible for the parody accounts .

Referring to the Trump team ’ s attempt to prove @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of CNN , which is necessary for a successful claim , U.S. District Judge Michael L. Brown wrote that “ most of the allegations in the complaint regarding actual malice are conclusory.

At times, it really seems as if Donald Trump is trying to start a civil war between his supporters and literally everyone else. After losing to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential elections by 74 electoral college votes and over seven million popular votes, Trump has made use of his strategy of turning his supporters against anyone who isn’t “loyal” to him. On Saturday, it was Republican senators, Supreme Court justices, and the Department of Justice he threw under the bus, and it’s sure his supporters will go after them.
The “ugly chapter” in our country’s history is not made up of fake “evidence” of voter fraud, it’s the undermining of democracy, the great democratic experiment of the United States torn to shreds, with Trump supporters fully believing that Republicans, Democrats, the Supreme Court, election officials and governors in every swing state he lost, judges in the federal court system, and vote counting machines all conspired against Trump to deny him the presidency.
None of the things that Trump is accusing everyone of – including collecting votes from dead people and undocumented immigrants – are remotely true. As long as money keeps flowing into Trump’s political action committee under the guise of a legal fund to support Trump’s court cases related to “voter fraud,” none of which has made it through a judge in any court yet, he will keep pushing the lie. Trump is motivated by fame and money, the people who support him be damned.

bipartisanreport--2020-12-27--McEnany Suffers Embarrassing Sunday Meltdown As Trump Presidency Collapses

During a Sunday morning appearance on CNN , the network ’ s Jake Tapper explained to fellow host Brian Stelter that he ’ s “ just not going to put somebody like ” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on the air , because McEnany “ lies the way that… most people breathe ” and “ can ’ t acknowledge reality.
” Despite the ample documentation of the many lies that McEnany has told , the top Trump official took serious issue with Tapper ’ s characterization on Twitter .
Among other comments , McEnany insisted that she does “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ laughable .
The level of self-delusion that she has to maintain in order to put this nonsense out into the world is simply staggering .
Referring to a clip of Tapper ’ s comments , McEnany self-confidently commented as follows : The observation that McEnany lies all the time is not a “ baseless personal attack.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller ended his Russia investigation by concluding that no criminally prosecutable conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian meddlers had occurred , but this conclusion wasn ’ t because of a lack of trying !
Among other examples , at one point during the 2016 campaign season , Trump openly called on Russia to “ find the 30,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clinton .

Donald Trump ran one of the biggest scams in the history of the United States: his presidency. Plus, he successfully divided the Republican party into the Trumpers and the greed-mongers. As the president leaves his seat behind his desk in the Oval Office, he continues to burn down elements of the US government. Little did the Grand Old Party (GOP) realize it, but the man who would be king is burning it down, too.
Trump has no loyalty to anyone but himself. Most of his donors — marks and losers to him — are members of the working class and those living on their meager Social Security checks. Through funneled campaign donations, Republican donors added $10.5 million to Trump’s own businesses during his time in office.
A total of $8.5 million was drawn from the Trump campaign, under the president’s direct control. The remaining two million was drawn from other GOP candidates and committees. The temporary president has a trust that funnels all profits from his hotels, golf courses, and buildings directly to him.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington’s Jordan Libowitz indicated that the watchdog group has “filed multiple lawsuits to obtain details of government spending at Trump’s businesses.” He said:
‘If you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail. If you’re Donald Trump, everything looks like a chance to make money.’
One of the big RNC fundraisers noted that the Trump Hotel was not a great value:
‘The Trump [hotel] is pricey.’
Libowitz continued:
‘It should come as no surprise that millions in political money has been funneled to his businesses or through opaque corporations to hide how much was going to his inner circle.’
Attorney with the Campaign Legal Center Brendan Fischer addressed an FEC complaint:
‘The law requires that political candidates and parties tell voters how campaign money is being spent. But Trump and the RNC routed their political spending through shell companies, leaving the public in the dark about where over three-quarters of a billion dollars have actually gone.’
President of the liberal watchdog group Public Citizen Robert Weissman said:
‘His donors are being duped. They believe they are contributing to his litigation to overturn the election results, when in fact their money is not supporting his pathetic lawsuits to sabotage our democracy but to a leadership PAC. It’s likely that all the donors to this committee are guaranteed to be doing is padding his bottom line.’
Trump’s ire against the voters, the voting machines, and the Republican Party revealed itself in his claims that the election was a fraud and that he actually won by huge majorities. He boldly declared himself the winner.
His reasoning was that he could not possibly be a loser, so he immediately began reframing that conversation. Then, there was his distancing from reality into a safely fabricated universe of his own creation. Lastly, his continued argument has been pulling in vast quantities of money. The way the documents read is that Trump can spend the greatest majority of the funds for his personal use.
The Huffington Post analysis looked into the required filings of the Republican National Committee, the Trump campaign, and their two joint fundraising committees. It found:
‘$1,716,155 to NYC’s Trump Tower $967,599 to Trump’s Washington, D.C. hotel from fundraisers $639,031 to Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida $3,039,979 to the Trump Hotel in New York City, $891,003 collected in the last four months of the campaign $1,363,565 to Trump’s golf resort near the Miami airport $1,632,700 to his D.C. Hotel from Republican candidates and groups over four years, “accounting for 84% of the $1,944,243 received by all of Trump’s properties from a total of 166 GOP groups”‘
The president’s committees hid $761 million of their spending by funneling it through another shell company.
CNBC Reported:
‘New records tracking fundraising from Oct. 15 to Nov. 23 show that wealthy GOP financiers largely did not help Trump in the final weeks of the bruising battle with Joe Biden as he dropped in the polls or give millions toward his current legal fight.’

Trump continues to refuse to acknowledge the reality of his recent election loss, claiming that widespread fraud swung the election to President-elect Joe Biden. In a delusional diatribe against those who have refuted his outlandish claims of systematic fraud, Trump insisted on Saturday that “WE WILL WIN!!!” Is he still going to be touting his imaginary chances of an imminent victory in January, after Congress certifies the electoral college vote totals? Is he still going to be pushing this nonsense after Joe Biden is inaugurated as president on January 20? When is the delusion going to end? Trump insisted that it is “Time for Republican Senators to step up and fight for the Presidency,” which is disturbingly cultish language from the president of the United States.

Toomey told Fox host Chris Wallace that he thinks that some of Trump’s recent pardons constitute “a misuse of the power” on account of the pardon recipients’ closeness to the president. Although he did offer support for the recent presidential pardon for Michael Flynn, Toomey observed as follows:
‘I mean, my goodness, we have tax fraud and bank fraud, witness tampering, obstruction of justice, but because they were close to the president they got pardoned.’
Asked about possible steps to roll back presidential pardon power, Toomey called the issue “a good discussion to have but… a tough call,” adding: “I think it would be very challenging.”
Recently, Toomey attracted the ire of Trump following his acknowledgement of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, which the outgoing president himself has adamantly refused to acknowledge. Trump has claimed, without any meaningful proof, that systematic fraud plagued the election and swung the race to Biden.

Among many defeats for Trump and his allies, in late November, federal Judge Matthew Brann threw out a lawsuit in which the Trump campaign sought to block the certification of the presidential election outcome in Pennsylvania, Toomey’s home state. Brann characterized the Trump team’s case as full “strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations,” adding that this nonsense “cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state.” After Brann’s decision, Toomey issued a public statement observing that Trump had “exhausted all plausible legal options” for challenging the Pennsylvania election outcome and congratulating Biden and Harris. In a Twitter meltdown that he posted a couple of hours after Toomey’s statement, Trump characterized Brann as “a product of Senator Pat “No Tariffs” Toomey of Pennsylvania, no friend of mine.” Toomey backed Brann’s judicial nomination.

Donald Trump ’ s longtime adviser and short time 2016 campaign CEO Steve Bannon is a very unusual guy .

Donald Trump’s longtime adviser and short time 2016 campaign CEO Steve Bannon is a very unusual guy. He wears shirt upon shirt as if he was fearful of a room getting cold. After Trump, he went to Italy to form a school in a closed monastery regarding far-right practices verging on nihilism. When the Italian government found him out, they said: not in my backyard. His crimes regarding Cambridge Analytic, now a defunct business, have come into sharp relief.
Bannon must appear before the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation and testify under oath a federal judge ordered. The line of questioning would be into the “data breach at Cambridge Analytica,” according to The National Law Journal.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper agreed with the FTC and ruled that Bannon had to agree to the FTC’s civil investigation demands. He said that this request did not prejudice the former executive of The Breitbart in his New York trial. Bannon was accused of “money laundering and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.”
Cooper ruled that delaying the man’s testimony meant that the FTC would not be able to complete its investigation, The Law and Crime reported:
‘[E]ven six months under the optimistic assumption that he will be tried in May.’
Cambridge Analytica was abandoned after it was accused of:
‘[Using] deceptive practices to harvest personal information from tens of millions of Facebook users which it then is said to have used to profile and target individual voters. Bannon previously served as the data firm’s vice president and was a member of its board of directors.’
According to the FTC, the complaint that alleged this company’s CEO Alexander Nix and App developer Aleksandr Kogan:
‘[They] deceived consumers, enabling the company to collect Facebook data from more than 50 million Facebook users and their friends, despite telling consumers that no identifiable information would be retained.’
Kogan and Nix settled with the FTC, as 90 percent of most cases have done. Then, Facebook was fined $5 billion failing to protect users’ data privacy, The Politico reported.
The FTC wanted to question Bannon regarding this investigation so that it could decide whether he was liable, as an individual, for being part of the “unlawful breach and whether any of that data still exists or was shared with other entities.”
Judge Cooper found:
‘there was no ‘substantive overlap [between the FTC’s investigation and Bannon’s criminal case], in which he is accused of using funds raised for a privately-funded initiative to build a wall on U.S. border with Mexico called We Build the Wall (WBTW) for personal expenditures.’
He noted that Bannon could still assert his “Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination:”
‘As Mr. [William] Burck surely knows, requiring a deponent to assert [the Fifth] on a question-by-question basis is a common practice in government investigations.’
Burck was Bannon’s attorney for the WBTW criminal procedures. However, he resigned after his client spoke about “beheading FBI Director Christopher Wray and Dr. Anthony Fauci,” head of the NIH virology department.
That attorney still represent’s Bannon in the FTC proceedings. In regard to the upcoming hearing on the investigation:
‘Hopefully, you folks won’t need my help in coming up with a date soon after the holidays to schedule this. I will leave it to you all to do this. If you need my help, you know where to find me.’

Clearly, his priorities are not the American people. As always, his priority is Donald Trump.
Why would Trump allow this to happen? He’s angry with Republicans who refuse to support his rhetoric about election fraud, so that’s definitely a motivation. He’s told his supporters that he won’t sign the bill that includes COVID relief because of “pork,” or provisions to provide funding for things that are not COVID-related. What he doesn’t tell them is that he’s signed the federal budget passed by Congress, which looked similar to this one except for the added stimulus checks to the people, for three prior years. This bill funds the government, and refusing to sign it could send an already flailing economy into a shutdown.

The New York Post, the same right-wing publication that published false stories about Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, is apparently in on the conspiracy, too. It’s sure that Trump will say so, anyway.
Trump is unconcerned with any legacy, as he’ll just insist that he was the greatest president ever until his supporters believe it no matter how unkindly history looks at him.

While virtually every sane person in the country agrees with The New York Post that he should drop the nonsense, it’s unlikely that the outgoing impeached, one-term president who never won the popular vote will listen.

Experts say that it’s highly unlikely that Mitch McConnell, should he care to, will be able to drum up enough votes to pass a $2000 per person stimulus package. The same senators who happily voted for massive tax cuts for billionaires are suddenly once again concerned about a deficit.
