President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Fuck Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley and any other Senators who whine about process and a need to conduct a fair trial. Impeach the bastard in the morning and convict and remove in the evening.

 

Looks like some folks should have asked their doctor if armed insurrections were right for them.

 

Carl Bernstein says there is recognition among Trumpists that the Lord and Savior is a danger because he still has the nuclear codes.

 

What if I told you that St. Rudy of 9/11 still can’t make cell phones work for him?

Rudy Giuliani, a lawyer and top adviser to President Donald Trump, is calling Republican lawmakers urging them to delay the electoral vote count by at least one day to allow the president and his team to present more evidence of alleged election fraud. Giuliani was making calls this evening, as late as an hour before Congress reconvened, in a desperate attempt to block the final count of Electoral College votes.

At approximately 7 p.m., Giuliani called newly sworn-in Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville, a staunch Trump ally, imploring him to stall the process. “I want to discuss with you how they're trying to rush this hearing and how we need you, our Republican friends, to try to just slow it down so we can get these legislatures to get more information to you,” Giuliani said in a voicemail. “And I know they're reconvening at 8 tonight, but it ... the only strategy we can follow is to object to numerous states and raise issues so that we get ourselves into tomorrow—ideally until the end of tomorrow. I know McConnell is doing everything he can to rush it, which is kind of a kick in the head because it's one thing to oppose us, it's another thing not to give us a fair opportunity to contest it.”

Giuliani tells Tuberville that McConnell wants to narrow the objections to just three states and explains that the Trump team wants to object to 10. “So if you could object to every state and, along with a congressman, get a hearing for every state, I know we would delay you a lot, but it would give us the opportunity to get the legislators who are very, very close to pulling their vote, particularly after what McConnell did today.”

The problem for Giuliani? He left his message on the voicemail of another senator, who shared it with The Dispatch.

It’s not clear whether Giuliani—who opens the call by referring to himself as “the president’s lawyer”—was directed to call Tuberville by President Trump. Requests for comment to Giuliani’s cell phone and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows went unanswered. One longtime Trump adviser still talking to top White House officials says Trump is in constant communication with Giuliani. Asked if such a call is something Trump would know about, he said: “Oh, yeah, 100 percent.”​

Giuliani to Senator: ‘Try to Just Slow it Down’

 

So many Republicans should be perma-shunned for this debacle the only candidate for 2024 the party will have available is Alex P. Keaton.

 

More sauce for the cooked goose.

 

Perhaps they thought they didn’t need to call their doctor unless the insurrection lasted more than four hours.

 

Damn....

 

Ask your doctor if milk of maganesium is right for you.
