Remind me again why they're not deplorable and I'm a bigot.
Between this and their cozying up to putin on the ritz you'd think it'd be a slam dunk for the dems to take complete control of the House and Senate. But then again, we're dealing with 'Muricans who think they're being turned into robots.
On Monday, a new organization, the 65Project — so named for the number of frivolous lawsuits filed seeking to contest the results of the 2020 election — debuted. It announced its mission: Find all the lawyers who violated their professional responsibilities in the wake of the election and ensure they face discipline, including possible disbarment.
Rudolph W. Giuliani has been suspended from practicing law in New York and D.C. Other lawyers, including Sidney Powell and L. Lin Wood, were sanctioned by a federal judge in Michigan for their frivolous suits. A federal judge in Colorado sanctioned two lawyers for bringing their meritless actions. In all these cases, the lawyers did not exercise due diligence to investigate whether the claims they were bringing were true.
John Eastman, author of the infamous memos suggesting how to overturn the election, is being investigated by the State Bar of California. But what has been missing until now is an exhaustive search and discipline for all the attorneys who violated their oaths. That’s the gap the 65Project intends to fill.
The organization’s advisory board includes former Democratic senator Thomas A. Daschle from South Dakota; Christine M. Durham, a retired chief justice of the Utah Supreme Court; Roberta Cooper Ramo, the first woman to serve as president of the American Bar Association and president emeritus of the prestigious American Law Institute; and Paul Rosenzweig, a senior adviser to the Chertoff Group,a security risk advisory firm co-founded by former secretary of homeland security Michael Chertoff.
The group has identified 111 lawyers across 26 states whose names appeared on President Donald Trump’s post-election lawsuits. The first 10 bar complaints it announced on Monday target “attorneys who supported sabotaging legitimate election results including fake electors, Trump’s inner legal circle, and insurrectionists to hold them accountable by seeking disciplinary action up to and including disbarment.” Trump had a right to pursue plausible claims in court, but lawyers have a higher obligation not to file actions that rely on invented facts or conspiracy theories they haven’t bothered to investigate.
The defendants include two fake electors from Georgia and one from Wisconsin. Other attorneys facing bar complaints are Cleta Mitchell, who participated in the infamous call in which Trump attempted to strong-arm Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to flip the state;Jenna Ellis, a Colorado attorney and conservative media commentator; Boris Epshteyn, a former Trump aide who has acknowledged his role in seeking “alternate electors”; and Joseph diGenova, a longtime Republican player in Washington legal circles. They are alleged to have lied “to the court and in public statements about the election, orchestrating the fake electors scheme and promoting violence.”
I asked the 65Project’s managing director, Michael Teter, aboutmembers of Congress who are lawyers. “We plan to bring complaints against elected officials who helped instigate January 6 or who participated in litigation that raised fraudulent and bogus claims,” he wrote in an email. “Of the 30 or so members of Congress who are lawyers and signed the amicus brief in Texas v. Pennsylvania,” which sought to throw out Pennsylvania’s electoral votes, “we’re identifying the more egregious among them (based on public statements, voting for the electoral count objections, etc.) and will be bringing bar complaints soon.”
The 65Project will also look into the conduct of Ken Paxton, the Republican attorney general of Texas, who brought the lawsuit challenging election results in four swing states, and that of his counterparts in Arkansas, Utah, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi and South Carolina. “As part of that,” Teter said, “we’re considering filing open records requests to see if state resources were expended to go into other states and look for ‘voter fraud.’”
Donald Trump Jr. this week offered his father an out when it came to the elder Trump’s increasingly unseemly recent and past praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin: His dad was just “playing” Putin! Fair enough. So the jig is up. Now, with Putin invading Ukraine and becoming a pariah on the world stage, would seem to be the time for Donald Trump Sr. to say what he really thinks. Putin, after all, now knows it was just a ruse all along.
The former president apparently didn’t get the memo.
During a lengthy interview with Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Thursday night, Hannity played a role he has become exceedingly familiar with: Trying to coach Trump through saying the right thing. In this case, the thing was that Putin is “evil” or an “enemy.” Ninety percent of Americans, after all, dislike Putin in a new poll — and 86 percent view him “very unfavorably.” So it’s kind of a slam-dunk, politically. And it would sure help Trump’s fellow Republicans, who have strained to assure they view Putin as evil, even if Trump hasn’t.
But Trump, true to form, wouldn’t take the hint. Repeatedly, Hannity tried to elicit Trump into calling Putin evil or something amounting to it. And repeatedly, Trump declined, instead focusing on tangential issues. When he did lament the atrocious scenes in Ukraine, he talked about it merely as something “sad” or regrettable that was happening, rather than attaching it to Putin.

Don't worry, the PTAPE will come out when Trump gets indicted. Merrick Garland has your back!
The full interview makes it pretty obvious there's Kompromat on POOTWH. Otherwise, how does anyone explain his pathetic answers?
he just admires dictators. I think it's as simple as that.
I don't know but what I do know is that Trump didn't start WW3 like everyone said he would. We now have both Putin and Kim Jong-Un acting out and we are stuck in the middle of it. It's only a matter of time before China does the same and then our situation will only get worse.
Make fun of Trump all you want but at least he had open lines of communications with other world leaders. Yes, other world leaders can be dictators but they still need to be given respect because they have nuclear power. Saudi Arabia wouldn't even take Biden's phone call.

Sorry, it’s not as simple as that.

That’s not admiration nor admirable, particularly when 90% of ‘Muricans think Putin on the ritz is the enemy. There’s more to it than admiration of dictators.
