    The Trump Card...

    Regarding violence, there has been more than enough of it to go around. We saw violence at the Unite the Right event in Virginia. We saw violence after the George Floyd killing. We saw violence at the Capitol on Jan 6. This is called civil disorder. It is by its very nature disorderly, which...

    The Trump Card...

    Most of Trump's rallies happened before Election Day 2020. While Trump talked often about a rigged election before then, things changed when the votes were counted and Biden won. Many who believed the Trump story grew angry when the networks called it for Biden. They grew more angry when states...

    Either way, it leaves Trump in a bind.

    The Trump Card...

    Another item of interest regarding the Senate side of the second Trump impeachment is Trump's legal team. It's nothing like the one he had before, if he has a team at all. An official White House counsel is no longer available to him after 1/20. Another part may be the report that Trump just...

    The Trump Card...

    That is a valid point. We're exploring new ground here. My guess is the trial will proceed and it will be challenged in court, either immediately upon its beginning or after its completion. The challenge may be made by Trump or others. We'll have to see how this plays out.

    The Trump Card...

    The difference may have something to do with the two principals involved. One is the Portland mayor Ted Wheeler. The other is the President of the U.S. Recently, Wheeler’s office issued a news release noting he had met with “leaders of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies” but that...

    The Trump Card...

    As I listened to this Trump speech on my way home from work tonight, I felt a sense of relief and I was inclined to praise Trump for what I thought was an effective message that will likely take some of the steam out of those who are stirring the pot for violent protests or attacks at state...

    The Trump Card...

    There is the political backlash (impeachment), business backlash (banks and other businesses cutting Trump off), social media backlash (Twitter, Facebook, others cutting Trump off), and now this. A big Trump donor figured out he has been conned by the election-fraud lie and is suing to get his...

    The Trump Card...

    That's a question that will be answered in the Senate trial, and likely in other trials if Trump is charged with crimes in connection with the insurrection.

    The Trump Card...

    Welcome News! EXCLUSIVE: President Trump on Wednesday is calling for "all Americans" to help "ease tensions and calm tempers," saying he does "not" stand for violence "of any kind" -- and he's asking Big Tech to join the effort. "In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there...

    The Trump Card...

    Some companies are specifically standing on principle. They are announcing they are cutting ties with Trump because of his lies about the election and insurrection actions. Some others are acting in their economic self-interest. An example of that is in this story. A company dropped the Trump...

    The Trump Card...

On Wednesday, global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield (CWK) said it "has made the decision to no longer do business with The Trump Organization," according to a company spokesperson. Over the years, the...

    The Trump Card...

    OK. Fair points. But it is also fair, is it not, to acknowledge that a bonafide conservative like Liz Cheney is willing to impeach Trump for the high crimes he is said to have committed? It's not all about left or right, or pro-Trump or anti-Trump. It's about the law and constitution too.

    The Trump Card...

    It may be helpful if you tell us who you mean by "the Left." Who exactly are refusing to admit they lost the election to Trump in 2016? When Trump was first elected, a good number of people took to the streets to protest. Some of those wore shirts and carried signs saying "Not my president."...

    The Trump Card...

    Why is that important for you to mention? What difference does this make? LIz Cheney and other Republicans who plan to vote for Trump's impeachment today (or soon) did not vote to impeach him before. If she is "a Founding Member of Anti-Trumpers United." What changed? Why did she vote against...

    The Trump Card...

    That may be but it does not matter as far as it affects Trump. This was and will always be known as the Trump insurrection. His MAGA people were there on full display. They wore Trump colors. They flew Trump flags. They changed Trump chants. They told news reporters on live TV they were there at...

    The Trump Card...

    Agreed. That's why we have impeachments and trials, and prosecutors and courts. Charges are pressed and trials are conducted to determine where the culpability, if any, lies. My views align with Cheney's, but mine are only views. Officials will press charges. The Senate and the courts will...

    The collapse of Trump's support is continuing. The news is now reporting that McConnell and Biden are talking about a Senate schedule that allows for the work of appointing Biden's cabinet and other officials and an impeachment trial to go on simultaneously. Part of the day will be for...
