Some decent Republicans are calling him out on it - more importantly, also calling out other high ranking Republicans to stand up and be counted.

We have well-funded, armed and trained marxists
I think they spelt militia wrong
^^ Worst ID Parade ...eva
Where is the evidence of these well funded, armed and trained, er, marxists, actually even existing?
Rudy Gulliani's probably got it in his briefcase with all the election fraud proof.
If anyone hasn't seen enough crazy, this is pretty compelling reading.
The facts are now in our face that it wasn’t just a crooked patent office, a crooked FBI, a crooked CIA, Crooked military in the Pentagon, crooked globalists who wanted sustainable development agenda 21, crooked politicians, crooked NSA, crooked Monsanto, crooked big Pharma, crooked GMO’s, crooked banksters, crooked educational systems, crooked United Nations agenda 21, crooked plans to RESET the global world, crooked depopulation efforts, crooked poison vaccines, chem trails, and space based weaponry, poison water, fake climate change, green planet destroyers of human kind existence, and on and on. It was all a progressive mapped out plan for the destruction of ALL HUMAN RIGHTS AND ALL THE CIVILIZED WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!
One man came forward with his honor, his reputation, his purse, and his oath to save America from the monstrous coup that had been playing itself out since the beginning of time itself. That one man was and is DONALD J. TRUMP. There are other brave patriots in military, and high places as well as WE THE PEOPLE who are on the side of law and order and want nothing to do with the evil cabal and all their dirty money, dirty politics, and dirty one world order where their handful of anointed are rich and all the meek of the earth who can work are enslaved. This was foretold in our Bibles and then skewed through interpretation so well by Satan himself that most believe this is not their fight for they will (in all their lukewarm teachings) be captured away in the twinkling of an eye and the only ones left to fight this mess will be those that are left behind.

re Darthpunk's image, strange that:
i) they won't wear masks 'cos Covid but will do so when being pictured with guns
ii) they claim it's their god given right as free Americans to have guns but are bashful when being photo'd with them so cover up
Rudy Gulliani’s probably got it in his briefcase with all the election fraud proof.
Probably along with Hunter Biden's laptop too...
Wow. Going for another record.
Simply unbelievable.

Meh,wait till you see how many criminals he pardons.
He will be the bigly,bestest president of forgivyness.
A pardon for Ghislaine Maxell would be the cherry on his cake made of dog turds.
Came to post that BBC link - he really doesn't care about the human cost of his desire to break traditions and standards.
My god that Pence clip is weird.
Why does he only clap with one hand, alternating each time.
Is he a ****ing robot thats been programmed slightly wrong.

“DONALD TRUMP HITS FECES-FLINGING STAGE OF ELECTION “FRAUD” FIGHT”

Well, after a lot of searching, they found an example of voter fraud in Pennsylvania; guess who it was for...
Well the list (so far) of friends, friends of friends and other criminals that he has pardoned is a sickening sight to behold.
Am I missing something because when I read up the story on him trying to block the Covid Aid bill, it does seem to throw money around but not necessarily at struggling US families and businesses?
Like the people who voted it through, I've not read all 5,000+ pages, and the very fact that I thought Trump sounded like he had a point has worried me, frankly!
Democrats have been trying to get more for months, the gop has blocked them, even just last week the gop blocked the bill as 1200 was deemed too much, 600 is the reduced figure just too get anything through to those who need it most.
Trump is just playing politics, but it's just words, too little too late, and not reflective of his actions.
Trump is just playing politics, but it’s just words, too little too late, and not reflective of his actions.
That was my gut reaction, but some of what he said made worrying sense.
Yup, his party has blocked and resisted better stimulus deals all the way and filled the pitiful one that did get passed with pork barrel bullshit, as per usual. Now he's acting like he's the good guy but at any time in the last 9 months or so he could have been intervening to get a good bill passed more easily. Always quite telling, when someone waits til it's all over then starts to loudly make demands. It's not like Mcconnell is exactly Trump's messenger boy but if he'd made these demands for higher stimulus months ago, it would have made a difference.
Hopefully it'll cause them yet more harm going into the Georgia runoffs though.

Trump’s Longtime Banker at Deutsche Bank Resigns
Rosemary Vrablic, who oversaw hundreds of millions of dollars in loans to President Trump’s company, will leave the bank next week.

President Trump’s longtime banker at Deutsche Bank, who arranged for the German lender to make hundreds of millions of dollars of loans to his company, is stepping down from the bank.
Rosemary Vrablic, a managing director and senior banker in Deutsche Bank’s wealth management division, recently handed in her resignation, which the bank accepted, according to a bank spokesman, Daniel Hunter.
“I’ve chosen to resign my position with the bank effective Dec. 31 and am looking forward to my retirement,” Ms. Vrablic, 60, said in a statement on Tuesday.
The reasons for Ms. Vrablic’s abrupt resignation were not clear. Deutsche Bank in August opened an internal review into a 2013 real estate transaction between Ms. Vrablic and a company owned in part by Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of Mr. Trump and a client of Ms. Vrablic’s. Dominic Scalzi, a longtime colleague of Ms. Vrablic’s who played a role in that transaction, will also leave the bank.
Ms. Vrablic and Mr. Scalzi joined Deutsche Bank in 2006 from Bank of America. Ms. Vrablic quickly made a name for herself as one of her division’s leading rainmakers. In 2011, she landed a prominent new client: Mr. Trump, who for decades had been mostly off limits to the mainstream banking world because of his tendency to default on loans. With her bosses’ approval, Ms. Vrablic agreed to a series of loans, totaling well over $300 million, for his newly acquired Doral golf resort in Florida, for his troubled Chicago skyscraper and for the transformation of the Old Post Office building in Washington into a luxury hotel.
When Mr. Trump became president, his relationship with Deutsche Bank came under a microscope by regulators, prosecutors and congressional Democrats. Ms. Vrablic’s starring role in the suddenly controversial relationship — she was a V.I.P. guest at Mr. Trump’s inauguration — pushed the publicity-shy banker into the spotlight.
The relationship between Mr. Trump and the German bank is the subject of congressional, civil and criminal investigations. The Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr., has been investigating whether Mr. Trump committed financial crimes as he sought to get loans from Deutsche Bank.
A lawyer for Mr. Scalzi confirmed that he was resigning from the bank.
Mr. Trump’s key contacts at his biggest financial backer are leaving at a perilous time for the departing president. He owes Deutsche Bank about $330 million, and the loans come due in 2023 and 2024. Mr. Trump provided a personal guarantee to get the loans, meaning that if he fails to pay them back, the bank can pursue his personal assets.
Deutsche Bank’s internal review has focused, at least in part, on a Park Avenue apartment that Ms. Vrablic, Mr. Scalzi and another Deutsche Bank colleague purchased for about $1.5 million from a company called Bergel 715 Associates in June 2013. Mr. Kushner held an ownership stake in that company at the time.
Banks usually bar employees from doing personal business with clients because of the potential for conflicts of interest.
After being contacted by The New York Times in August, Deutsche Bank officials started reviewing the transaction “and the fact pattern from 2013,” Mr. Hunter, the bank spokesman, said at the time.
The status and scope of that review, which may include other transactions, is not clear, but Deutsche Bank officials previously said they hoped it would be completed by the end of the year.
At the time of the real estate transaction, Ms. Vrablic was rapidly expanding Deutsche Bank’s relationship with the Trumps and the Kushners. It was Mr. Kushner who, in 2011, invited Ms. Vrablic to Trump Tower in Manhattan to meet his father-in-law, who was radioactive to most large banks.
Ms. Vrablic and her boss championed the Trump relationship. But it was polarizing inside the bank. Some senior executives argued it was too risky to lend to Mr. Trump, given his history of not repaying loans, including in 2008 when he defaulted on a large loan from Deutsche Bank on his Chicago skyscraper. Those concerns, however, were overruled, and the relationship with Mr. Trump progressed.
As they sought more loans, Mr. Trump and his representatives provided Deutsche Bank with financial statements that appeared to substantially overstate the value of some of his company’s real estate and other assets, according to current and former bank executives, as well as congressional testimony last year from Mr. Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
That is one focus of the criminal investigation by Mr. Vance, the Manhattan district attorney. Since the November election, his prosecutors have interviewed Deutsche Bank officials about the bank’s lending policies and procedures, and bank executives expect that prosecutors will summon employees to testify before a grand jury.
Since their initial meeting, Ms. Vrablic became friendly with Mr. Trump and Mr. Kushner. In an interview with The Times in early 2016, Mr. Trump repeatedly and incorrectly referred to Ms. Vrablic as “the head of Deutsche Bank.”
“She is the boss,” Mr. Trump said.
Trump going off the rails and bringing down Georgia with him is a lot of 2020 energy to bring in to 2021.
I think we'd all take that at this point.
Congress, Senate, and Presidency is a lot of power concentrated in half of America's hands. They'd better use it wisely.
Never underestimate the ability of voters to behave in unimaginable ways. GA aint over yet.
Treasonous and corrupt pardons flying everywhere at the moment - Manafort, Kushner's dad - it's hard to keep track.
Kushners dad sounds a charmer - the witness tampering case!
When he leaves the Whitehouse, I really hope that Deutsche bank comes after him and it all goes like his super casino project.
Oh, and Roger Stone too, I missed that one out.
I guess he's warming himself up for Ghislaine 'I wish her the best' Maxwell.
Yeah hiring a prostitute to sleep with your brother in law and ten blackmail him, is pretty low 😳
I guess he’s warming himself up for Ghislaine ‘I wish her the best’ Maxwell.
She hasn't been prosecuted yet. Can he pardon someone "in advance"?
yes, see Nixon
When he leaves the Whitehouse, I really hope that Deutsche bank comes after him and it all goes like his super casino project.
So do I, but I have a feeling that they will be very businesslike and weight up whether they can recover more money by having him declared bankrupt or letting him continue pretending to be a businessman. There's talk of resurrecting The Apprentice, which did make a huge amount of money. Destroying his reputation would kill that. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that the banks will decide that they are better off sticking with him.
Can he pardon someone “in advance”?
The President can only pardon federal crimes, not state crimes. I don't know what charges Maxwell might eventually face, but if there are state level crimes included, he can't pardon those.
Haven't times changed? I remember the controversy when George W reversed a pardon, as the press reported his family were Republican donors. Now I'm fully expecting Trump to either pardon himself or Maxwell. Currently SDNY which is Federal. Would be great if the FBI could just hand over the files to the States to continue with.
Treasonous and corrupt pardons flying everywhere at the moment
He's leaving it a bit late maybe - all it takes is a bit of heal dragging along the chain of command for the pardons to be worthless. A pardon can't be reversed once enacted, but theres more to the process of a pardon than the President saying he wants it to happen.
Johnson pardoned two prisoners in his last days in office. The prison governor allowed the letters from the president to sit on his desk for a while - the next President - Ulysses S Grant - rescinded the pardons and was able to do so because they hadn't been enacted.
When issuing a pardon 'The president' can change his or her mind at any time between issuing the pardon and it being finally enacted. 'The president ' can be two different people.
I’m fully expecting Trump to
eitherpardon himselforand Maxwell.
FTFY, but you really need to add "plus every other corrupt scumbag whose name crosses his mind".
