Trump et al continued “2020 election” conspiracy theories
No. It's Trump's fault for firing all his competent covfefe boys. |

The highlighted is the problem.
Not counting special circumstances like Stacy described, you can't just ignore a single tantrum in the store. It's the pattern of positive parenting that one needs to use from the beginning which kids learn from. Trump, for example, has never felt any actual consequences for anything. He's beyond hope at this point. With toddlers, parents need parenting education and they rarely get it. |

I don't think that I ever tsked at that... but then, I was a kid that was diagnosed with ADHD. I have no memory of having a temper tantrum at a store, but I wouldn't be surprised if my parents had such a memory of me doing so. I definitely had a number of tantrums at home, though.

We are getting too far off topic here, but if the kid is throwing a tantrum in a public place then there's a good chance that is not their first tantrum and there's a good chance (with some exceptions) that earlier tantrums were not ignored, rather they were successful as far as the toddler was concerned.
Again, getting back to Trumpy the widdle toddler, he was screwed up by his father and according to Mary Trump, the niece, his mother didn't cross his father so she was no help. Bullying worked for Trump from an early age. |

I get the humor of someone being drawn and quartered and then taken out at dawn and shot.
But I mentioned this because this was the President's lawyer suggesting on TV that a Trump appointed government servant be executed for doing his job. |

Trump Tweets
Thank you! A lot of Senators and House Members are very happy that I came along. Think I’ll stick around for awhile! Quote Tweet thebradfordfile™ @thebradfordfile LOL. The GOP thinks Trump is just going to go away? He's the most popular Republican in history. |

Trump Tweets
Only in America! Quote Tweet Steph @steph93065 The democrat party has the brass balls to steal a Presidential election for a candidate their voters don't even like. The Republicans are too wimpy to stop absolute theft of the Presidency from a candidate 95% of their voters LOVE |

They’re asking him to go away so he doesn’t drag them down with him in GA. But, something tells me they will be, most appropriately, disappointed

Trump Retweeted
Mindy Robinson @iheartmindy Dominion Voting System donated thousands of dollars to an anti-Trump Republican PAC linked to our Sec of State in Nevada. Explain to me exactly “what” an election company is doing donating to ANY political side of an election they are contracted to run? Catturd ™ @catturd2 Rudy Giuliani is presenting a ton of evidence. If you ignore or refuse to look at the mountain of evidence being presented - save your breath barking to us about there being no evidence. You can’t have it both ways. Kambree @KamVTV They never thought they would get caught. They did. Notice how quiet they are? If I was accused of cheating I would fight like hell to clear my name. Nope. Their silence says it all. Catturd ™ @catturd2 Arizona Witness: Truck Loads of Ballots Kept Coming in For 10 Days After Elections Officials Thought They Were Done Counting Votes (VIDEO) via @gatewaypundit They never thought Trump and We the People would call ******** and fight back hard. They were wrong. |

I agree with the whole post.
But when I read the highlighted segment, I realized that in early January, Team Trump will argue that presidential pardons do apply to state crimes. And the true believers will agree with his silly claim. A flurry of lawsuits will follow. |

Quote:
Trump does not have standing as President of the United States. Why would the President have standing? Trump could maybe have standing in some cases as a presidential candidate. But he hasn't even filed any complaints as a plaintiff. The cases are all filed by his campaign organization. The reason there are issues with standing in many of these cases is because they are taking issues with state law to federal courts. I assume this is because they keep losing in state court and Trump is hoping to get a case to a federal judge who he appointed and therefore owes him one. That isn't happening. Federal courts deal with federal law. Now, if there is a case that deals with federal law but then incidentally has associated state laws, the federal court can deal with that. But they keep trying to shoehorn the state law issues in with some Constitutional basis and there actually isn't a Constitutional basis which means there is no standing. |

In Trump's last days apparently cruelty relieves his stress:
Trump loosens US execution rules, allowing poison gas, firing squads

I call BS. If you go Mindy Robinson's twitter, she claims the Dominion donated $5k to the "anti-Trump" PAC Republican State Leadership Committee which is actually a PRO-Trump PAC:
