Trump Calls Cleveland Indians' Name Change a 'Disgrace'
"Can anybody believe that the Cleveland Indians, a storied and cherished baseball franchise since taking the name in 1915, are changing their name to the Guardians? Such a disgrace, and I guarantee that the people who are most angry about it are the many Indians of our Country," he said in a statement.
glad I wasn't taking a drink when I read that.....
Trump, AKA, the Yellow Bellied Soul Sucker. Makes a lot of noise, but doesn't really do much. Talks other birds in his flock into sending him their nest egg with the promise to make their lives better but then keeps it all to himself. Spends most of his time flapping around on the green pecking at little white balls.
Maybe when his fans finally wise up he will just migrate to some place far, far away.
“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”

He’s like Jason F13th keeps coming back! This nation has a problem and it’s the neighborhood bully someone is going to have to stomp him& his deplorable base out for good.

I fear we haven't dodged it yet. I worry people are getting complacent and the midterms will swing heavily to the Rs (plus all the voting rights bullshit), and in 2024, we are going to be in real danger of losing the country forever.
Was hoping the Republicans to fracture/blow up, but idiots like McConnell still think that they are ahead of this and in control. McConnell will be the first to the gallows (just like Pence almost was).
McGahn Affirmed That Trump Tried to Oust Mueller, Transcript Shows
The former White House counsel testified behind closed doors last week about the former president’s attempts to interfere with the Russia investigation.

WASHINGTON — Donald F. McGahn II, who served as White House counsel to former President Donald J. Trump, has told lawmakers that episodes involving him in the Russia report by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, were accurate — including one Mr. Trump has denied in which the president pressed him to get the Justice Department to remove Mr. Mueller.
A 241-page transcript of Mr. McGahn’s closed-door testimony from last week, released on Wednesday by the House Judiciary Committee, contained no major revelations. But it opened a window on Mr. McGahn’s struggles to serve as the top lawyer in a chaotic White House, under a president who often pushed the limits of appropriate behavior.
“They don’t teach you this in law school,” Mr. McGahn said of one episode he witnessed in which Mr. Trump was trying to get his attorney general at the time, Jeff Sessions, to resign because he had recused himself from the Russia investigation.
ADVERTISEMENT
Mr. McGahn was a major witness to many of the episodes outlined in the second volume of the Mueller report, which focused on actions Mr. Trump took to obstruct the investigation. After then-Attorney General William P. Barr — who said none of those episodes amounted to a chargeable crime — released most of the report in 2019, Democrats subpoenaed Mr. McGahn, hoping for a dramatic televised hearing.
But the Trump Justice Department fought to block the subpoena, leading to a protracted and complex court battle. It came to an end when the Biden Justice Department struck a deal with House Democrats to permit Mr. McGahn to testify, but under strict limits: It would take place in private, and he could only be asked about information in the public portions of the Mueller report.
While the testimony was belated and limited, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Representative Jerrold Nadler, Democrat of New York, portrayed it as important.
“Mr. McGahn provided the committee with substantial new information,” Mr. Nadler said in a statement accompanying the transcript release. He added, “All told, Mr. McGahn’s testimony gives us a fresh look at how dangerously close President Trump brought us to, in Mr. McGahn’s words, the ‘point of no return.’”
Mr. McGahn used that phrase when a staff lawyer for House Democrats grilled him at length about Mr. Trump’s efforts to get him to tell the deputy attorney general at the time, Rod J. Rosenstein, to remove Mr. Mueller over a dubious claim that the special counsel had a conflict of interest — which Mr. McGahn refused to do, believing it could “cause this to spiral out of control.”
After Mr. Trump called him at home on a Saturday in 2017 to pressure him again to tell Mr. Rosenstein to oust Mr. Mueller, for example, Mr. McGahn testified, he was deeply concerned.
“After I got off the phone with the president, how did I feel?” he said. “Oof. Frustrated, perturbed, trapped. Many emotions.”
Fearing that conveying the directive might instead prompt Mr. Rosenstein to resign and touch off a crisis akin to President Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre during the Watergate scandal, Mr. McGahn instead prepared to resign if Mr. Trump did not relent. He told several colleagues at the White House about his intention, although not Mr. Trump himself. But the crisis instead blew over for a time.
In his testimony, Mr. McGahn acknowledged that he was afraid that if Mr. Trump removed Mr. Mueller or otherwise interfered with the investigation, the action would be used to accuse the president of obstruction of justice. But he was also careful to frame his concerns as being about public relations, without acknowledging that any legal lines were ever crossed.
“It didn’t mean the president was meddling, but certainly it would be easily made to look that way,” Mr. McGahn said.
The internal furor over Mr. Trump’s previous attempt to oust Mr. Mueller reignited in January 2018, when The New York Times and then The Washington Post reported on the encounter.
Mr. Trump was enraged and pushed Mr. McGahn to make a statement denying that the episode had happened, but he refused to do so — because, he said, The Times story was substantially accurate. (Mr. McGahn said that The Post’s follow-up to The Times story was clearer on one issue — whether he had conveyed his threat directly to Mr. Trump — because Mr. McGahn had been a source for The Post in order to explain that nuance.)
Mr. McGahn had by then also already told Mr. Mueller’s team about the event — Mr. Trump had ordered him to cooperate with the special counsel — and he feared that Mr. Mueller would consider charging him with making a false statement to law enforcement officials if he contradicted his account.
Mr. McGahn also called Mr. Trump’s claim that he never even suggested firing Mr. Mueller “disappointing,” because Mr. Trump “certainly entertained the idea. Certainly seemed to ask a number of people about it. Certainly had a number of conversations with me about something along those lines.”

Save America, the leadership PAC where former president Donald Trump is asking loyalists to direct their political contributions, paid for lodging about two dozen times in the first six months of 2021. Nine of those times, the payments went to properties owned by the former president, according to a filing made public on Saturday. All told, the PAC sent at least $68,000 to the Trump Hotel Collection, showing how the real estate mogul — long after ending his presidential campaign and leaving office — continues to use donor money at his own properties. Trump Victory, a joint fundraising committee for the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee, separately spent $2,200 at Trump properties so far this year, according to a filing by the committee. And a Trump-backed PAC overseen by Corey Lewandowski, his 2016 campaign manager, paid $21,810 to rent space at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey, according to that group’s filing. These are small sums compared to the kind of spending Trump did at his properties on the campaign trail and in the Oval Office. But they stand out because of the relatively little spending Trump has done from his post-presidency war chest. His Save America PAC spent little more than $3 million in the first half of the year, while raking in $62 million — part of a haul that left him with a political war chest of $102 million. Since Trump entered the presidential race in June 2015, he has used his political campaigns and associated committees to pump more than $19 million into his own businesses, according to a Washington Post analysis of federal campaign-finance records. The practice began during his 2016 run, when Trump’s campaign paid his businesses about $12.5 million — transforming donors’ political contributions into private revenue for his businesses. Trump billed his own campaign to fly himself on his Boeing 757 jet, to rent office space in Trump tower and to hold events at Trump golf clubs. His name-branded “Trump Ice” water even showed up on the campaign’s tab. In 2020, Trump’s political operation spent about $6.7 million at Trump Organization properties. The figure was lower than in 2016 in part because Trump was traveling to campaign stops on Air Force One, so he no longer paid himself for air travel. The payments continued even after Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election. Campaign filings show that Trump’s campaign still paid Trump Tower more than $40,000 in rent in December 2016, after the race had already been decided. As president, Trump repeatedly visited his own properties — for weekend and summer getaways, for lavish political fundraisers and for official summits with foreign leaders. These visits required Secret Service agents and other government officials to stay at the properties alongside Trump, and Trump’s businesses billed the governments for their rooms, as well as for food, flowers and water served during official meetings. In all, the U.S. government paid Trump’s businesses more than $2.5 million during his presidency, according to government records obtained by The Washington Post. That was an unprecedented amount of taxpayer money directed into the private business of a sitting president.
