Donald Trump has not, thus far, been one to give much a fúúck about the concerns of the wider Republican party. Anyway, it's been Trump's constant crowing about election fraud that has given rise to the idea that widespread electoral reform must take place, even though there has been no actual evidence found of the kind of wide-ranging malfeasance alleged. So, what harm would it actually have done to the new Republican strategy for Trump to give another speech about how the election was stolen and those who broke into the Capitol were really just patriots at the end of their rope? If anything, it would have been a help. It shouldn't be a help, because it's completely insane, but this is where we are.
FWIW some mutterings in an article on Salon.com that Bob Woodward might have something new about #TFG coming out. Not much to go on, just feelings: https://www.salon.com/2022/01/08/donald-should-be-very-afraid-this-anniversary-was-not-good-news-for-him/
Because if he cools the jets a little bit then people don't pay attention and the state-level Republicans can keep tipping away and removing safeguards on vote certification
He doesn't give a **** about the party, obviously. But it's not the first time he's changed his mind due to out side pressure. He's just one of those people you have to convince is making the decision themselves.
The GOP are mobilising. They saw how close things were last time (even without it being actually up for debate) and short of the Democrats winning with 5+ states in hand there's plenty of scope for them to try some ratfuckery next time.
Happy anniversary 🎈🎉🎈
Where has the year gone!?
Let's also not forget that Trump suggested that his Cruz' Cuban father was somehow connected to the Kennedy assassination.
Utterly spineless...
And fed the stories about his father being connected to the zodiac killer
I thought that was people saying Cruz himself was the Zodiac Killer?
the zodiac killer was active before Cruz was born
Sounds like a very "convenient" alibi.
Yeah, I thought that was part of why it was considered a funny meme?
I'm sure the Trump cultists will have no problem with this and will actively defend it. Can you imagine the pretend outrage from them though if someone from CNN was texting Biden and being dialled in on WH meetings.
There would be apocalyptic rage and calls for firing.
A lot more information to come out I’d imagine.
What's it got to do with reality...
One could argue that it is the same with Cuomo brothers, albeit on a lesser scale.
The difference of course being there are consequences for everyone apart from Republicans..
Re regging seems to be a conservative past time
Just how Soviet is it to have a state media calling into policy discussions? The GQP types railing on and on about Democrat communists should be having kittens over the news about Hannity et al calling into the WH as part of confidential discussions in order to get the 'messaging right' on Fox News! If there ever was a need to reinstate the Fairness doctrine, this would be a defining reason. Fox is seriously state media, imagine, mainstream media like Fox controlling USG policy!
Careful.
Ah yes but don’t forget MSM, they do everything the democrats say and cheer lead for them, except for those times where people said ‘even CNN’ at the start of their sentences.
every time I see the MSM thing all I see is an idiot who has fallen for Trumps greatest bit of work, telling people to not believe what they read if it’s bad from a conservative view point but do believe it if it’s good.
That's easy to do with idiots who are all too willing to be deceived.
Good!
There should be ramifications for those that place the lives of politicians in danger.
Wouldn't you agree?
The former guy and the response from the guy in question
He’s completely deluded and deranged.
Calling someone a jerk in a statement. Jesus he’s a pathetic figure.
Well at least there is no doubt that he wrote the statement himself.
"The horrible handling of the china virus"
Seriously? Mr. "Shove a lightbulb up your hole" is criticising someone else about how it is being handled?
And as for not being a laughingstock during his tenure, I could go and pull up footage of his speech to the UN, but couldn't be bothered.
Looks like the break off Twitter is doing the presidents popularity the world of good.
The bit where he says America was respected throughout the world one year ago is my favourite
He’s not ‘the president’. Don’t mix up using a title that is a tradition with what you think happened a year ago.
"people thinking better of you when they can't see or hear you" is not the win you believe it is.
He really doesn’t understand what quotation marks are for.
