Trump will Richterin im Wahlbetrugsverfahren absetzen lassen

Im Verfahren wegen versuchten Wahlbetrugs gegen ihn hat Ex-US-Präsident Trump einen Befangenheitsantrag gegen Richterin Chutkan gestellt. Frühere Aussagen von ihr ließen Zweifel an ihrer Unparteilichkeit aufkommen, behauptet Trump.

To demonstrate just how hard he said the test really was, he went on TV to recite, over & over, the words that he had been asked to remember in the right order: “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.”

…The #MontrealCognitiveAssessment is meant to test for signs of #dementia, #Alzheimer’s disease or other conditions, but the #Trump talked about it on Fox News… as if he had aced an IQ test proving his intelligence. Experts said that reflected a misunderstanding about the purpose & value of the exam.

Even for a president who has rewritten the political rule book so many times before, the spectacle of a commander in chief repeatedly touting his performance on a cognitive examination to prove that he has not lost a step paves new ground in the history of campaigns for the highest office in the land. Rather than dispensing w/the issue, #Trump drew new ridicule… when he declared it nothing short of “amazing” that he did so well on a test that, among other things, required him to ID an elephant.

Presidents & those who would be president often boast of their qualifications — their education, their experience, their achievements. And then there is President #Trump, who is boasting about his #dementia test.

🇺🇸🤡 👉 « “I don’t think there’s ever been a darkness around our nation like there is now,” #Trump said, in a dystopian speech in which he accused #Democrats of allowing an “invasion” of #migrants over the southern border and of trying to restart Covid “hysteria.” » ↘️

Seriously, President #Biden is only 3 years older than #Trump.
Biden, bikes, does Pilates & eats a healthy diet.
Trump is sedentary & lives on a fast food diet.

This is the stupidest choice of criticism.

To #Biden’s advisers, the political damage is coming not from legitimate questions about the president’s health or stamina, but from what one adviser once described as fake & distorted internet posts.

…#Trump routinely delivered rambling, often nonsensical speeches & news conferences. He ranted about eagles killed by windmills & told fake stories about the U.S. military running out of ammunition. Often, Trump’s anger-filled diatribes made little sense.

Find any video of Trump speaking from 10-20 years ago and compare it to today. The level of decline is as shocking as it is conspicuous. He used to be fluent and comprehensible. Today, he is incoherent, has the vocabulary of a child, and can barely speak in complete sentences. It’s scary that this guy is still a contender for the White House.

Donald #Trump Is Extremely Touchy About Voters Saying He Is Not “Mentally Up for the Job” of Being President

He insists he would beat Rupert #Murdoch, Joe #Biden, and the heads of the Wall Street Journal at a mental “acuity test.”

Third-party candidates will help #Trump win

If a third-party candidate takes even a small part of the anti-Trump vote away from #Biden, Trump is likely to be returned to the White House

So will every other third party claiming to be in the “center” or on the “left” – including the Green party, which is already on the ballot in the two key swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin and whose most likely candidate for president is Cornel #West.

Donald Trump tax cuts

White House Rips Trump’s Tax Cut Push: ‘Welfare For Big Corporations’

Some Trump advisers, would like to further push the tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations Republicans passed during Trump’s first term in office, potentially lowering the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15%. Before the 2017 tax law’s passage, the rate stood at 35%, and President Joe Biden has proposed increasing it to 28%.

#Trump Demands Recusal of Judge #Chutkan in Federal Jan. 6 Case for 'Doing Her Job'

"Just Staying in the Headlines"

Former U.S. President Donald Trump's legal team on Monday asked the judge overseeing his federal election interference case—stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 results and him provoking the January 6, 2021 insurrection—to recuse herself, citing comments she made during cases involving some of his supporters who stormed the Capitol.

If the orange mobster wins it won't be because of 3rd parties and because of Cornel West. It'll be because the democratic party gave up on working people under Clinton and took the corporate money. Biden is a terrible candidate, look at the top leadership, it's like something out of King Lear.

#GOP is going to hammer #JoeBiden over this prisoner swap deal with #Iran 🇮🇷. #Biden was already criticized for the prisoner swap deal with #Russia 🇷🇺.

I expect #Republicans to make this a talking point against #Democrats for an entire year (I know #Trump will).
