Prosecutors Investigating Trump Focus on His Finance Chief
Manhattan district attorney investigators who are examining possible financial fraud have asked witnesses about Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer at the Trump Organization.
Scum of the earth, nothing new. Also, anyone who continues to support him is the scum of the earth. Period.
I'd head more towards the "folks who support him - in light of his demonstrable lies, hypocritical piousness, poor business decisions, inarticulate statements, unkept promises, and overt remorseless subversion of the democratic process - should be considered accomplices in his attempt to ruin the United States of America."
In some parts of the world, that's the same as being a hero, right?
Donald Trump clung to his core election falsehoods in his first post-presidential speech, wrongly blamed wind power for the catastrophic power failures in Texas and revived a variety of the baseless claims that saturated his time in office, on immigration, the economy and more.
Yeah, but when he passes away, there will be all those people waiting for the second coming.
âWeâve got to prepare the way for him to return,â Vaughn said. âJohn the Baptist, the Bible said that he was the voice of one crying in the wilderness, âPrepare for the way of the Lord.â In other words, the Lord was soon to come, and Johnâs job was to prepare the way for his coming. Well, ladies and gentlemen, much like John the Baptist, we must prepare the way, to make straight the crooked paths in America and our election system. We must prepare for the return of Donald Trump.â

The courtâs order was a decisive defeat for Mr. Trump, who had gone to extraordinary lengths to keep his tax returns and related documents secret. There were no dissents noted.
With Mr. Trump now in his post-presidency at Mar-a-Lago, a loose coalition that draws together militia members and conspiracy theorists along with evangelical Christians and suburban Trump supporters is searching for direction. Call it the alt-truth movement, and if it is to coalesce into something more permanent, it may well be, at least in part, because figures like Mr. Flynn continue to push false claims of how a deep-state cabal stole the election.

Perhaps most responsible for Mr. Flynnâs re-emergence is the conspiracy-theorizing lawyer Sidney Powell. Ms. Powell took over his legal defense in the Russia investigation after he had twice pleaded guilty in a deal to cooperate with prosecutors, and charted a combative new path. She challenged the deal and, marshaling a small army of like-minded Twitter users, recast Mr. Flynn from a turncoat into a victim, a man who had taken the fall to save his son, who was also under investigation.

As his relentless focus on Islamist militancy intensified, his views veered hard to the right. He argued that militants posed a threat to the very existence of the United States, and at times crossed the line into outright Islamophobia, tweeting âfear of Muslims is RATIONAL.â
In Mr. Trump, he found a presidential candidate who shared his dark and conspiratorial view of Islam.
The similarities between the two men did not end there: Both shared a fondness for Twitter and often exhibited a loose relationship with the truth. When Mr. Flynn ran the D.I.A., his dubious assertions were so common that subordinates came up with a name for them: âFlynn facts.â (In January, he was among those banned from Twitter with Mr. Trump.)
So it was no great stretch to see Mr. Flynn hurling conspiracy theories about an election that federal election-security experts considered among the best run on record, and for Mr. Trump to listen.
The Complete List of Trumpâs Twitter Insults (2015-2021) As a political figure, Donald J. Trump used Twitter to praise, to cajole, to entertain, to lobby, to establish his version of events â and, perhaps most notably, to amplify his scorn. This list documents the verbal attacks Mr. Trump posted on Twitter, from when he declared his candidacy in June 2015 to Jan. 8, when Twitter permanently barred him.
