Back in the early days of the Donald Trump phenomenon, whenever he supposedly got out of line a recurring joke about him was, “But he fights.” The pundits laughed. The poor rubes suckered by Trump were supposedly taken in by some canard that he was a fighter. But the fact is he was, he won a lot of those fights, and his voters are better off for those wins.

To: tankumo (#0) Donald Trump Fought For Us He didn't fight to protect the vote. Mail in ballots over threw the will of the American people. Worse still, he embraced the corona hoax. On 3-22-2020 he declared a national emergency which then allowed governors and mayors to declare never ending lockdowns, mask mandates, and God knows what else the commies want to do to us. After throwing his supporters under bus on Jan. 6th, I'm having a hard time with this idea that he fought for us. watchman  posted on  2021-01-27   22:16:27 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #7.

To: watchman (#11) But he didn't "fight" the lockdowns (the very thing that destroyed America) Donald Trump continually urged states to shun lockdowns while Joe Biden said the pandemic could not be stopped by "flipping a switch". Trump also mocked mask mandates. Had you clicked here as you were told to do so, you would have been duly informed that Sole power to institute lockdowns or nor resides with the states in compliance with their state laws. You have been asked – Since you say that “[Donald Trump] didn’t fight to protect the vote” – then you of course ought to be fully prepared to describe precisely what he “didn’t” do and delineate specifically what you found so abhorrently lacking. Please do so now … So, you are now asked “AGAIN” to explain in great detail exactly how Trump could have “fought” to override state laws.

To: watchman, tankumo (#11) But he [Trump] didn't "fight" … Trump will continue to fight for us in that: “Biden may be stuck with the cronies and allies Trump appointed to government boards.” Biden’s team is looking into whether it can replace dozens of Trump’s last-minute appointments to boards and commissions. It won’t be easy. Before leaving office, Donald Trump appointed dozens of allies and former aides to a wide range of government boards and commissions — and there's not much Joe Biden can do about it. Pam Bondi is helping oversee the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. Kellyanne Conway is primed for a posting on the board of the Air Force Academy. And Corey Lewandowski is set to serve on a panel that gives business advice to the secretary of Defense. For the next four years, Biden will be stuck with Trump’s partisan warriors — some with no or little experience — having input on schools and museums and recommending policies on everything from defense to agriculture. It’s just another way Trump left his imprint on the federal government in the days after he was ousted from office. He fought to overturn the election and postpone the transition in unprecedented ways. He moved his political appointees into powerful but protected career jobs. And he gave presidential appointments to dozens and dozens of supporters, allies, and campaign and administration aides. Biden’s team is trying to determine whether they can do anything about the appointments, a person familiar with the situation said. “We are tracking closely and seeing what we can do,” the person said. But those who have reviewed the law governing the boards say removing appointees can be difficult, especially if they come with political or business connections that could help the organizations. Most appointees do not need Senate confirmation and will remain until the end of their yearslong terms. Those who support Trump’s appointments say if Congress opposes the appointment process, lawmakers should change it. The prestigious appointments are generally considered ways to pad resumes and though they generally do not come with salaries, they could come with travel money or perks, such as seats in the trustees boxes at Kennedy Center. Matt Schlapp, who is a Trump ally and husband of former campaign and White House aide Mercedes Schlapp, dismissed criticisms of partisan appointments, saying he was honored to be asked to serve on the Library of Congress Trust Fund Board. “I’ve always looked forward to working with Democrats and have always had great friendships with people who disagree with me politically,” he said. “I think one of the most tragic things about the period of time we’re in ... is we’ve lost that and if you lose that in Washington, D.C. It’s a big problem.” Members of the Library of Congress Trust Fund Board aren’t removed when a new president is elected, said Brett Zongker, chief of media relations at the Library of Congress. Rather, he said, vacancies are filled by the president or others at the end of a member’s term, which are five years, though they may be asked to remain for an additional year. Lewandowski and fellow Trump political adviser David Bossie, both named to the Pentagon Defense Business Board, are in the midst of completing their ethics paperwork and security checks, defense officials say. That delay could mean they will ultimately be replaced because they serve “at the pleasure of the secretary of defense.” In December, nine members of that Pentagon board were removed to make way for Trump loyalists, including Lewandowski and Bossie. Outside of removal, members come and go based on their tenure on the board, the personal time they have available to serve, and the relevance of their focus areas, defense officials say. During each administration, board membership is reviewed, changed and adjusted depending on the secretary’s priorities for all boards, these officials say. Some Trump appointees decided to depart with Trump. Lobbyist Bryan Lanza, who worked on Trump’s 2016 campaign and the transition, was tapped for the President’s Advisory Commission on Hispanic Prosperity in December. He said he withdrew after Biden was sworn into office last week. But others are apparently sticking around. Steve Cortes, another Trump campaign aide who is still advising Trump, is still listed as a member of that same commission. Previous presidents of both parties have made similar appointments on their way out of the door. In the final weeks of his term, President Barack Obama appointed major Democratic donor Fred Eychaner and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett to the Kennedy Center board. Both served on the board through the entire Trump presidency and continue to serve their six-year terms. “We aren’t aware of a process for removal,” said Brendan Padgett, the director of public relations at the Kennedy Center. But those who have studied modern presidential transitions say the difference this time is that Trump’s appointees generally have little or no experience with the subject on which they are being tasked. “Most presidents make these prestige appointments based on what the individuals either did for them in the past or could do for the organizations they serve in the present, while Trump paid special attention to appointing people who could save him from prosecution in the present and maintain influence in the future,” said Paul Light, a professor of public service at New York University who has closely studied presidential transitions over the years. “Trump's motto has been to ‘ask not what you can do for the country, but what you can do for me.’" Trump named three loyalists to the Holocaust Memorial Museum’s board: body man Nick Luna; former acting director of national intelligence Ric Grenell, who later advised Trump’s reelection campaign; and Andrew Giuliani, who served as sports liaison in the White House and is the son of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani. No president has tried to remove a member since the first council was established in 1980, said Andy Hollinger, museum communications director. Giuliani said he was honored to be appointed to the council “especially by a president who has done more for Israel than any president in the history of the United States.” Others appointed to that and other boards did not respond to requests for comment. Hope Hicks, one of Trump’s closest confidants, was tapped for the board overseeing the prestigious Fulbright scholarship. She joins former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who launched a campaign for Arkansas governor on Monday largely focused on her work in the Trump White House. Sanders was appointed to the board in 2019. Elaine Chao, who served as Trump’s transportation secretary and is the wife of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, and lobbyist Brian Ballard, who helped raise money for Trump, were named to the Kennedy Center board. They’ll join Lee Greenwood who wrote “God Bless the U.S.A.,” the song Trump played at every MAGA campaign rally. David Legates, a top administration official who has questioned how much global warming is manmade, was appointed to the committee responsible for selecting the National Medal of Science winners. And in one of his last appointments, Trump appointed Alabama attorney Mark McDaniel, who represents the family of one of the Capitol rioters killed Jan. 6, to the International Food and Agricultural Development board, which advises the U.S. Agency for International Development on agriculture projects in developing nations. “The nature of the people he put on are more troubling,” said Max Stier, president and chief executive officer of the Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit that works to make government more effective and efficient. “It’s not to say every previous president has in fact selected high-quality germane people for these positions ... but the nature of Trump’s choices are a step beyond what has been done before ... There is zero relevance or expertise.” https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/28/biden- trump-allies-government-boards-463381 Gatlin  posted on  2021-01-28 13:24:58 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #23. To: watchman (#11) … Trump … House Republicans who voted to impeach face backlash at home in test of Trump's staying power The wave of backlash facing 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump has turned their 2022 primaries into tests of how long Trump, now out of office, can hold the stage in Republican politics -- and whether GOP voters are willing to turn the midterms into tests of loyalty to him. At home, anger among Republican officials, donors and voters at those who voted to impeach Trump has erupted, with state and local officials condemning their votes and primary challengers -- benefiting from bookings on right-wing media -- launching their campaigns early. The group of 10 Republicans includes moderates in swing districts, as well as some reliable conservatives, including the No. 3-ranking House Republican, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, and South Carolina Rep. Tom Rice. "It started out big and it's still growing. People are angry," said Bryan Miller, the Republican chairman in Wyoming's Sheridan County who said he plans to run against Cheney in the party's 2022 primary. "She's not living up to what we in Wyoming wanted, across the board. And it's a huge betrayal." Anthony Bouchard, a Wyoming state senator who is also running against Cheney, said he's been "flooded" with messages encouraging a primary run. Living with ulcerative colitis affected Jacklyn physically and emotionally but, with support from her family and healthcare team, she became empowered to advocate for herself. "I believe that her impeachment vote revealed who she has allegiance to, and I don't think the voters will forget it any time soon," Bouchard said. The early seeds of primary trouble for House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump is an illustration of how much loyalty the former President retains within his party, weeks after he departed office and was removed from his favorite social media platforms. Whether the anger against those 10 lawmakers will survive the next year is far from clear, with congressional districts' makeup certain to shift as states complete the once-a-decade process of redrawing district lines and more than a year for the anger to dissipate and the GOP's focus to move past Trump. "Each and every one of those 10, when they made that vote, they knew in their heads and in their hearts it was probably a political death sentence. They knew that," said former Rep. Joe Walsh, the conservative Illinois Republican whose 2020 primary against Trump did not gain traction. He said any establishment donor money that goes to support those 10 GOP lawmakers will be "dwarfed" by money aimed at ousting them. "I wouldn't be surprised to see a number of them not even run again, depending on how their districts shake out" after redistricting, Walsh said. It's also too early to tell how willing Trump and his family members will be to insert themselves in intra-party battles -- especially after social media bans limited Trump's ability to reach wide audiences easily -- and whether Trump's ire will be focused narrowly on Republicans he believes wronged him, such as Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who rebuffed Trump's efforts to overturn the state's election result, or if he will cast a wider net. The New York Times reported that Trump is most focused on ousting Kemp, potentially through a primary challenge by former Rep. Doug Collins, and that Cheney is the former President's next focus. Trump has been showing allies a poll of Wyoming voters commissioned by his super PAC and conducted by Trump's longtime pollster John McLaughlin to make the case that Cheney's vote on impeachment is not popular among Republicans there, a source told CNN. His super PAC also issued a news release highlighting the poll. On Capitol Hill, Cheney has faced challenges to her leadership role. Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida traveled Thursday to Wyoming's state Capitol for a rally opposing Cheney. Donald Trump Jr. called into Gaetz's event and said Cheney should be ousted in next year's primary. "It's time to have a change at the top. It's time to have people that are going to start representing the people -- not their own agendas, not their own nonsense, but their constituency," he said. "And since the people of Wyoming are clearly not thrilled with Liz Cheney, let's find someone who can replace her and actually do that job well." The Republicans who voted to impeach Trump have all defended their votes by saying they were a matter of principle after Trump encouraged attendees at a January 6 rally to march on the US Capitol -- which led to the deadly riot that afternoon. Amid the complications of primary challenges against House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump is the potential that -- like in Wyoming -- multiple candidates could enter primaries, fracturing the opposition to vulnerable Republican incumbents. Still, the impeachment vote has led some state and local parties, as well as major donors, to say that they are dropping their support for those Republicans -- for good. In Washington, the state's Republican Central Committee passed a resolution condemning Trump's impeachment "without question or exception" and expressing disappointment at Reps. Dan Newhouse and Jaime Herrera Beutler, two of the 10 Republicans who voted in favor of impeachment. The Clark County Republican Women's Group sent a letter to Herrera Beutler explicitly saying it would recruit and back a primary challenger. "We will do everything in our power as the largest Republican Women's organization in Washington state to recruit and elect a conservative candidate who will represent our values," the group said in the January 13 letter. The letter said that "this vote will never be forgotten, as your action is a personal affront to the 70 million plus Americans who voted for our President." In Michigan, the Allegan County Republican Party censured Rep. Fred Upton for his vote, saying that he "betrayed oath of office and core values" of the county party. Tom Norton, the third-place finisher in a 2020 primary won by Rep. Peter Meijer in western Michigan, said he is running again and appeared on former Trump adviser Steve Bannon's podcast two weeks ago. Gene Koprowski -- who launched a primary bid against Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of the GOP's most outspoken Trump critics -- named the campaign committee he created on January 14 "Impeach Adam Kinzinger 2022." The "issues" page on the website launched by former Fresno city councilman Chris Mathys, who says he'll take on Rep. David Valadao in California, contains just three sentences, all targeting Valadao's impeachment vote: "President Trump has fought in our behalf to protect our conservative republican values. It is unbelievable that congressman David Valadao would for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. I will do everything to restore our conservative values as a conservative republican." Ken Richardson, the chairman of the school board in South Carolina's Horry County, said he'd long thought he might run for the congressional seat of Rice -- a conservative House member who was among the most surprising votes to impeach Trump -- years down the road. "I didn't know that Tom was going to shoot himself in the foot. But he's done that," Richardson said. "To say I'm getting calls would be an understatement." He called Rice "a nice guy" and noted that Rice had been to barbecues at his house. "But the county that we live in right now -- 71% of the people voted for Donald Trump. And if you're the congressman for this area, you've got to understand, that's not Tom Rice's seat and it's not Ken Richardson's seat. That seat belongs to the people," Richardson said. Those considering primary runs said they have already heard from major Republican donors -- and are convinced that GOP primary voters' anger toward those who voted to impeach Trump will ease before the 2022 primaries. "I do not think this is going to dissipate," Miller said. Richardson said: "There's no doubt in my mind it's going to last way past the election." https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/28/politics/house- republicans-impeach-trump-backlash/index.html Gatlin  posted on  2021-01-28 17:43:19 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   End Trace Mode for Comment # 11.
