Trump just doesn’t know when to quit. You can stymie him one way, and he’ll try something different. He’ll never admit he’s beaten (except for possibly Russia, ha). It just gets more and more obvious how hard he’s trying (no, you cannot distract us from Epstein and Ukraine); he looks more and more pitiful. When you have to *obviously* try for something, just give it up. From AlterNet:
Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is responding after President Donald Trump announced that he will direct the U.S. Department of Justice to sue California over its plan to put new congressional maps before voters, a move state officials say is a response to the president’s directive requiring Texas to redraw its maps…. In a nearly unprecedented move last month, President Trump told Texas Governor Greg Abbott he wanted new congressional maps drawn in the Lone Star State, to create five new GOP-held seats. The move would help … in next year’s midterms.
I still have the same reaction now that I did when this first came out. REALLY? Yea, obvious. Oh, so obvious *yawn* It’s quite apparent Trump wasn’t expecting anyone to fire back at him with this. He’s not even blustering very well. And he’s damn worried about midterms. What he hasn’t taken into consideration is that you can *never* guarantee that a seat is going to stay Democrat or Republican. There are always surprises.
Asked by a reporter if there is a “federal mechanism” he could use to “fight back” against Governor Newsom’s redistricting, despite having ordered Texas to redistrict, President Trump referred to the California governor as “Gavin Newscum.”
That’s old. Come up with a new nickname.
He then replied, “Well, I think I’m going to be filing a lawsuit pretty soon, and I think we’re going to be very successful in it.” “We’re going to be filing it through the Department of Justice. That’s going to happen,” Trump vowed.
In other words, he and the DOJ have to figure out some sort of specious excuse to even file a lawsuit. Right now, he has nothing, just hot air. And what’s to say that the suit will even be able to be placed? Yea, it’s Trump and the DoJ, but there’s still going to be a lot of laughter behind closed doors. They have nothing. I’ll leave you with the following:
Responding to the news of a lawsuit, Governor Newsom wrote on social media: “BRING IT.”
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thanks. Ursula
