Trump's Latest Rants on Jan. 6th [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Trump was biting his fingernails waiting for Judge Merchan's decision on his lawyer's request to vacate the Friday sentencing. The judge denied it again. In the meantime, he fired off 3 more rants.

First, he thought enough to call the Washington Post liars for having said he won't go full tilt boogie on tariffs. Since WAPO is paywalled, we know that Trump had to pay $40, at least, for a year's digital subscription. I just spotted another user's post that said they're offering digital subscriptions now for as low as 99 cents to get back the hundred thousand and counting subscribers who have canceled.

He's already beaten the owner, Jeff Bezos into submission with the Presidential non-endorsement, and getting Bezos to cough up $1 million for his inauguration, but WAPO is still not sufficiently loyal.

Anonymous sources don't exist. Then why would they have done the story? So, of course, the story can't be right, because that would mean he's admitting another campaign lie, so it's "Fake News." He wouldn't bother denying it if it weren't true. Maybe somebody did duct tape him to a chair and tell him the truth about tariffs.

Because he hasn't accused Biden of being a crook today, he led off with Biden is complicating his transition. Making it "as difficult as possible." How is that? You refused to do the FBI background checks till now. You refused to sign a memorandum of agreement to get access to classified information because you had to promise not to tell anybody, like that makes a difference to you. You wouldn't promise not to hire or nominate people with conflicts of interest. What did we get? Plenty of people, if not all, that had conflicts of interest.

Also conducting world record lawfare against him. What? Where? Everything has gone in the waste bin except for the 34 felonies, a Georgia case in limbo, and Capitol Police lawsuits against him for Jan. 6th, for which he is claiming immunity. None of those involve the Justice Department.

I have no idea where he's coming from on Green New Scam Executive Orders. There's only the electric car tax deduction. Other money wasting "Hoaxes." That's new. Usually the hoaxes were all the court cases against him.

Putting "Orders" in quotes somehow deligitimizes them. Yup, we're going to be a "Nation of Common Sense and Strength", implying we were all stupid and weak until after he takes office.

Then, if that wasn't enough, Canada is a target again because he heard that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is resigning.

He says Canada is already the 51st state. "Many people in Canada LOVE being the 51st state." Not thinking about it, but already "being."

Trade deficit with Canada​​​​​. In 2023 we exported $441 billion to them and bought $481 billion. We buy more stuff. We've got more money and people Mr. Math Wiz. The big trade deficit is with China. There are no subsidies to Canada. But that's why Trudeau resigned according to Trump.

If they became a state, there would be no tariffs. With NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, they're almost non-existent already.

Taxes might go down if you earn more than $150,000 a year in Canada, but not "way" down.

Russian and Chinese ships are not surrounding Canada. Look at their coastline. It would take an armada of ships more than the entire world has. China can "surround" Taiwan because they do have enough ships to do that. Russia is going downhill except for submarines.

"Together what a great Nation it would be!!!" He's nothing if not enthusiastic about it. People in the Canadian territories think NO varying between 79% to 90%.

Just saw the news that Congress certified Trump's win. No shenanigans by Democrats and just one lone protester outside the capital in the snow. I was so hoping for a different outcome. Some manner of protest.

We need to come up with ways to screw up Trump's inauguration so he has no fun, gets angry, and turns into a bloviating mess. I came up with a bunch of ideas in another diary. They all involved work and phone calls to Represenatives and Senators to boycott the inauguration, and how to contact the living ex-presidents to do the same.

There has to be a way to send a direct message to Trump without putting yourself in jeopardy. I haven't come up with it.

Women's March is on Jan. 18th. Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network has a march on Jan. 20th, which this year is also Martin Luther King Day. With security the way it will be for the inauguration, I'm sure they can't get close to the inauguration, but protest will be part of the march.

News just in. Judge Merchan has denied Trump's request to vacate sentencing once again. The only avenue he has is the New York appeals court. Judge Merchan has given him no basis to get the appeals court to stop the sentencing. If the appeals court tries to do something irregular, there will be an outcry. This time it would be "all legal scholars and pundits agree" with Judge Merchan.

Bad news for the people of Greenland. Don Jr. and other despicables are going to visit. Is anybody going to tell the Trump's that only 57,000 people live there? Only the western and south-eastern coastal areas aren't covered with ice. He still hasn't given up on buying it. Denmark already told Trump no, and in fact, the people of Greenland want to be their own independent country.

Trump just can't get it through his head that no means no. Of course, he had that same problem with women.

"We will protect it, and cherish it, from a very vicious outside World." It reminds me of this Warner Brothers cartoon.

Finally, he creatively came up with "MAKE GREENLAND GREAT AGAIN!" Probably singing it like YMCA. Donald, the people of Greenland think they currently are great. Try not to destroy America so we do have to make it great again.
