Rep. Paul Gosar Endorses Trump’s Call to ‘Terminate’ Constitutional Rules
Republicans have largely been silent about Donald Trump’s call to “terminate” certain provisions of the Constitution in order to overturn the results of the 2020 election and reinstall himself in the White House. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), however, has spoken out about the anti-democratic idea: He supports it.
“I support and agree with the former President,” he wrote on Twitter on Wednesday. “Unprecedented fraud requires unprecedented cure.”
Trump responded to the unremarkable release of the “Twitter Files” last Friday — which mostly revealed what had already been known about the company’s deliberations surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election — by writing on Truth Social that “Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
Republicans largely shied away from denouncing the former president’s suggestion that the Constitution should be shredded. “He says a lot of things, but that doesn’t mean that it’s ever going to happen,” Rep. David Joyce (R-Ohio) squirmed during an appearance on ABC’s This Week. Some other GOP politicians said they didn’t agree with terminating the Constitution but stopped short of criticizing Trump directly. “Obviously, I don’t support that,” Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) managed on CNN’s State of the Union.
Gosar, one of the most prominent conspiracy theorists in Congress who earlier this year participated in a conference hosted by white nationalist Nick Fuentes, didn’t mince words, and the fact that Trump’s call to tear up the document the GOP prides itself on defending now has a vocal audience in Congress is more than a little troubling — especially considering Gosar and his fellow Republicans are now set to assume control of the House of Representatives.
Trump, earlier this week, seemed to recognize that pushing for the Constitution to be terminated may not be a winning message for a presidential candidate. He tried to claim on Truth Social on Monday that he didn’t actually say what he said. “The Fake News is actually trying to convince the American People that I said I wanted to ‘terminate’ the Constitution,” he wrote on Monday. “This is simply more DISINFORMATION & LIES.”
Except he didn't say the constitution should be terminated. Rather, election fraud allowed the constitution to be terminated. As in, the termination of the constitution was already ended.
Now, if one wants to say there was no election fraud, fine. Say that. But don't say Trump wants to terminate the constitution.
AMERICAN NEWS Dec 7, 2022 Bus load of Nicaraguan migrants dropped off at Kamala Harris' DC home Since claiming in September that the Unites States had a "secure border", over 125 migrants have been dropped off outside the gates of her official residence in DC.
Dozens of migrants arrived in Washington, DC from Texas on Wednesday morning, where they were unloaded in front of Vice President Kamala Harris' residence at the US Naval Observatory
The group of migrants, who identified themselves as Nicaraguan, were met by volunteers from the humanitarian organization SAMU First Response as they were exiting the bus, who established their needs and found out what plans they had before transporting them to their organization's headquarters, the New York Post has reported.
The group, among them young children, emerged from the bus in the early hours of the morning, some of them wrapped in blankets to shield from the mid-50s temperatures that greeted them.
This is not the first time that buses filled with migrants have arrived at Harris' doorstep.
Since claiming on NBC's "Meet the Press" in September that the United States had a "secure" border, over 125 migrants have been dropped off outside the gates of her official residence.
She also stated during that same interview that she wants there to be a "plan for a pathway to citizenship for the millions of [illegal immigrants] who are here."
Harris was appointed by Biden in March 2021 to tackle the illegal immigration crisis, but since then, the country has seen migrants flooding across the border in record numbers.
Migrant arrest numbers are almost twice what they were before the Biden administration took power, and have already exceeded last year's numbers, according to recent Customs and Border Protection data.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott first announced back in April that he would be transporting busloads of migrants away from the Texas border in an attempt to relieve the pressure from the overwhelmed border towns that have taken the brunt of Biden's failing immigration policies.
Since then, hundreds of migrant buses from Texas have arrived in DC, as well as other so-called "sanctuary cities" in the US.
Chicago and New York, two of the aforementioned sanctuary cities, have been plagued by near-record levels of violent crime. NYC Mayor Eric Adams said in August that his city was too crime-ridden to take in more illegal migrants.

There was nothing in my reply to you that should have brought on the hatred you spewed in response. But you do you. It appears as though that description you gave became a self fulfilling prophecy. It appears I'm not the only one who didn't see what you claimed was there. So, rather than insult you any further, let me show you some things.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) called former President Donald Trump an “enemy of the Constitution” on Sunday, after he suggested considering “termination” of the Constitution on Saturday — one of few overt condemnations in the GOP of Trump’s words.
“No honest person can now deny that Trump is an enemy of the Constitution,” Cheney tweeted on Sunday.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), who has served with Cheney on the select committee investigating the attack on the Capitol, said the former president “hates the Constitution.”
“Not a single conservative can legitimately support him, and not a single supporter can be called a conservative,” Kinzinger said. “This is insane.”
“It is certainly not consistent with the oath that we all take,” said Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio). “I vehemently disagree with the statement that Trump has made.”
Pressed by host George Stephanopoulos on whether he could support someone who had suggested suspending the Constitution, Rep. Dave Joyce (R-Ohio) said on ABC’s “This Week” that he would “support whoever the Republican nominee is.”
“He says a lot of things,” Joyce said of Trump, adding that Trump does not have the power to suspend the Constitution. “You have to take it in context ... I can’t be really chasing every one of these crazy statements that come out about — from any of these candidates.”
But you know, that doesn't mean anything, right? Even Republican politicians know what he said and are not in denial about it. Do you think you can mount an actual response without your hateful vitriol or is that above you?
And let me worry about my hobbies. You have enough of your own issues to deal with obviously.

And of course I suppose it must be all of these other Republican politicians that have comprehension issues too. It couldn't be you.....
Former Vice President Mike Pence said in an interview with a South Carolina radio station on Monday that everyone who aspires to serve in public office should make clear that they will support and defend the Constitution. Multiple GOP lawmakers, including Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.), also slammed Trump’s post, calling it “very inappropriate” and “ridiculous,” respectively.
And then there's this ass clown who agrees with trump that the constitution should be overruled.....
Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) tweeted and then deleted a post on Wednesday supporting former President Trump’s call for terminating the election rules in the Constitution.
“I support and agree with the former President. Unprecedented fraud requires unprecedented cure,” he said, accompanied by a screenshot of Trump’s post on Truth Social.
Trump's Paying People Who Are Key to Criminal Cases Against Him
Several key witnesses in a number of criminal cases against former President Donald Trump remain on the payroll of his presidential campaign, raising questions of whether they'd willingly offer incriminating evidence against him ahead of his third campaign for president in 2024.
According to campaign finance disclosures filed with the Federal Elections Commission, several witnesses party to Trump's illegal removal of classified documents from the White House are currently on the payroll of his Save America PAC, the main fundraising arm of Trump's 2024 re-election bid.
These include former White House aides Dan Scavino, Beau Harrison and Stephen Miller—all who testified before a grand jury earlier this year—as well as associates like Walt Nauta, a longtime valet for the former president who was reportedly captured on security camera footage moving boxes out of a storage room at Mar-a-Lago prior to a May subpoena by the Department of Justice demanding the return of all classified documents in Trump's possession.
This in itself is not unusual: campaign officials can often follow their candidate into the administration, while advisors can often work dual roles both in Washington and on the campaign trail.
However, Trump has a long history of eyebrow-raising hires closely tied to his myriad of criminal investigations.
Months after claiming Trump had declassified a "whole set of documents" before leaving office, Kash Patel—another former advisor to Trump—found his way onto Trump's payroll, receiving $7,500 in fees for his consulting firm in August. Patel has since testified before a grand jury investigating the case.
But financial disclosures have also revealed Trump's Save America PAC had been footing the bill for the attorneys representing witnesses in a case investigating Trump's role in instigating the Jan. 6 riots at the United States Capitol, raising concerns he was attempting to influence their testimony.
In the past, outlets like The New York Times have noted Trump lawyers dangled the prospect of pardons to a pair of individuals under investigation for their roles in alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 elections ahead of their testimony, while his former lawyer—Michael Cohen—plead guilty to other charges and publicly denounced the former president after Trump stopped paying Cohen's legal fees.
Some have raised questions about whether that conduct is continuing.
Of the several million dollars Trump has spent on attorneys' fees this cycle, several hundred thousand dollars have been directed to firms like JPRowley Law, a Washington D.C. firm that represents a pro-Trump attorney who has fought subpoenas from the Jan. 6 subcommittee in Congress. Trump has also dangled pardons for various others accused in inquiries around Jan. 6 if-elected.
Additional funds have also gone to firms like Silverman, Thompson, Slutkin & White—which had represented Trump ally Steve Bannon as he refused to comply with subpoenas seeking his testimony in the Jan. 6 probe—as well as firms like the Brand Woodward Law Firm, which represents several Trump associates who have appeared before a grand jury or spoken with investigators around the Mar-a-Lago case.
"It looks like the Trump political action committee is either paying for the silence of these witnesses, for them to take the Fifth, or for favorable testimony," former federal prosecutor Jim Walden told The Washington Post Tuesday.
Trump hosts Mar-a-Lago event with prominent QAnon, Pizzagate conspiracy theorist
Former President Trump hosted a prominent QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theorist at his Mar-A-Lago club in Florida on Tuesday night, just two weeks after his much-criticized dinner with Ye and white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
Liz Crokin, a former journalist and celebrity gossip writer now associated with far-right conspiracy theories, spoke at a fundraiser intended to combat child trafficking, according to posts on her Telegram account.
At the event, Crokin said she discussed Pizzagate, a debunked conspiracy theory suggesting Hillary and Bill Clinton and other political elites run a child sex trafficking ring at a pizza shop in Washington.
She also discussed the fashion company Balenciaga, which has recently taken heat for a photo campaign featuring children and plush bears with BDSM accessories.
Trump, who last month declared himself a 2024 presidential candidate, made an appearance at the event.
“You are incredible people and doing unbelievable work,” he said in a video shared by Crokin. “We just appreciate you being here and I hope you’re going to be back.”
The Hill has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.
Trump received backlash, including from high-ranking Republicans, for dining with Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, along with Fuentes at his Florida club last month.
Ye recently praised Hitler and Nazis after making multiple rounds of antisemitic comments and social media posts over the fall. Fuentes is a known white nationalist and Holocaust denier who has been condemned for racist and vitriolic remarks.
Crokin is an early embracer of the QAnon conspiracy theory, which alleges the world is run by a shadowy cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles and that Trump is the only one who can stop them.
In 2017, Crokin infamously picked fights with celebrities Chrissy Teigen and John Legend after she suggested the couple was part of the Pizzagate conspiracy.
Crokin, who has been banned from most social media platforms, has more than 100,000 subscribers on her Telegram channel. She is originally from Illinois and began her career as a tabloid journalist.
Donald Trump Calls Joe Biden’s Prisoner Swap for Brittney Griner a ‘Stupid and Unpatriotic Embarrassment WENDELL HUSEBØ 8 Dec 2022
Former President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden’s Brittney Griner prisoner swap as “stupid” and “unpatriotic embarrassment.”
Issuing the statement on Truth Social, Trump said the swap was a bad deal because Biden traded an ex-WNBA basketball star for notorious Russian arms dealers Viktor Bout, “one of the biggest arms dealers anywhere in the world.”
Trump said the trade was especially grievous because Griner has been “openly” hateful towards her own nation.
“What kind of a deal is it to swap Brittney Griner, a basketball player who openly hates our Country, for the man known as ‘The Merchant of Death,’ who is one of the biggest arms dealers anywhere in the World, and responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and horrific injuries,” he said.
Trump also questioned why Biden worked to release Griner without American prisoner Paul Whelan, who was arrested in Russia in 2018 and sentenced to 16 years in prison for alleged “espionage.” The former Marine denies the charges. Russia has presented little evidence for its claims outside of what was used to imprison him in court.
“Why wasn’t former Marine Paul Whelan included in this totally one-sided transaction?” Trump asked. “He would have been let out for the asking.”
“What a ‘stupid’ and unpatriotic embarrassment for the USA!!!” Trump concluded.
After Biden announced the swap, Whelan reportedly released a statement through CNN expressing his great surprise and frustration he was not included in the swap.
“I am greatly disappointed that more has not been done to secure my release, especially as the four-year anniversary of my arrest is coming up. I was arrested for a crime that never occurred,” he said. “I don’t understand why I’m still sitting here.”
In February, Griner, a two-time Olympic basketball champion, was arrested in Russia and pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis vape cartridges at an airport near Moscow. Her release had been negotiated since last Thursday.
Of course, he does. If some kind of crap weren't oozing out of his mouth 24/7 to keep people like you on the hook, we wouldn't have to tolerate his BS anymore. But as long as fools lap it up like it's gravy and biscuits, he'll keep pumping crap into your brains.
Your feelings and opinions do not add up to facts.

Lol ..now I’m hungry for biscuits and gravy.
Anyways, didn’t trump have a few years to get the release of Paul and didn’t even try? Damn, if trump came out and said Paul W. was actually Jack Ryan, he’d have his base believing it and reading books.

Trump dinner with antisemites was ‘breaking point,’ Jewish former allies say
Donald Trump hosted Kanye West and white supremacist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes for dinner at his home.
Prominent Jewish leaders who once backed former president Donald Trump said that his connection with antisemites was a breaking point for them after he hosted white nationalist Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and rapper Kanye West at his Mar-a-Lago resort in November.
Former Democratic New York state assemblyman Dov Hikind backed Trump for president in 2016 and 2020. But after his recent dinner with two infamous promoters of antisemitic rhetoric, Hikind, a prominent Jewish leader in Brooklyn, said there is no chance he will endorse Trump ever again.
“Trump has disqualified himself, plain and simple; it's over for him,” the representative of Brooklyn district 48 for 35 years until 2018 told The Jerusalem Post.
“This incident goes beyond the pale,” Hikind said. “It never should have happened in the first place, but after it did happen, Donald Trump should have apologized. He should have said something. He said he didn't know who [Fuentes] was. He said he didn't know a Holocaust denier was sitting at the same table with him enjoying dinner.
"Nobody Googled who was having dinner with the former president?" he asked. "I don't know if I believe that, but let's say it's true. [But] by the next day, he knew, [so] how come he didn't say anything? And [Trump] said he likes Kanye regardless of what he says because ‘he says nice things about me.’ It's pathetic.”
The dinner meeting places Trump, who last month announced a 2024 White House bid, in direct contact with two prominent figures who have unapologetically promoted antisemitism in recent months.
West’s Twitter account was recently restored after being blocked over a series of antisemitic comments, including a threat to go “death con 3” on the Jews, that cost him a slew of lucrative sponsorship deals.
Fuentes, who has been labeled a “white supremacist” by the Justice Department and first gained prominence after participating in the 2017 white supremacist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, said in June that “Jews stood in the way” of the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Trump's meeting spurs pushback from Republicans
Trump's dinner has sparked ire from Trump's supporters, many of whom echo Hikind's outrage.
“There is no room in the Republican Party for antisemitism or white supremacy,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a statement. “And anyone meeting with people advocating that point of view, in my judgment, is highly unlikely to ever be elected president of the United States.”
Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, a Jewish pro-Trump Republican who now represents Hikind's district, told the Post that the former chief executive's recent actions put the GOP's integrity to the test. She called on Republican leaders to condemn Trump.
“While he was President, Trump did more for the Jewish people and the State of Israel than any president in modern history,” Vernikov said.
“But when he spends time with individuals who openly support Hitler, our party’s integrity, morals and leadership are put to the test. Who will do what’s politically expedient and stay silent, and who will do what is right despite political backlash? Republican leadership must do what is right: condemn his actions and publicly call on him to apologize and disassociate himself.”
Other top Republicans are staying silent. Rep. Lee Zeldin, who some in the GOP are promoting to be party chairman after his defeat in last month's election for governor of New York, called West a “deranged antisemite” this past week – but the Jewish congressman from Long Island has not released a statement condemning Trump.
Hikind, who is known for outspoken Israel advocacy and hard-line support for the large population of Orthodox and hasidic Jews in his state assembly district, called the US-Israel relationship “the best ever during Trump's four years.”
“I recognize that no president has ever even come close,” he told the Post. “But that is not a pass for having people like Kanye West at your table.”
“Antisemitism is spreading like wildfire. Jews are getting beat up because of Kanye's words,” he continued. “This is a very sad chapter in this country and we are at an important junction. Donald Trump telling me that he is such a great friend of the Jewish people: I'm tired of it. He did do great things but does that give him a pass to hang out with antisemites and Holocaust deniers? No, it is not okay. With Donald Trump you lose; he's the greatest gift to the Democratic Party.”
“There's no question this is a breaking point within the Republican Party,” Hikind continued. “You can't let anyone get away with this kind of behavior.”
Said Trump, on Truth Social: “Jewish Leaders forgot that I was the best, by far, President for Israel. They should be ashamed of themselves. This lack of loyalty to their greatest friends and allies is why large numbers in Congress, and so many others, have stopped giving support to Israel.”
Republican Kari Lake files lawsuit in bid to overturn Arizona election
The lawsuit claims that the gubernatorial candidate "received the greatest number of votes and is entitled to be named the winner," days after certified results showed Lake had lost.
Kari Lake, the GOP candidate who lost Arizona's governor race in November, filed a lawsuit Friday challenging certification of the state's election results and seeking a court order that declares her the winner.
The 70-page lawsuit from Lake, a prominent election denier and Trump ally, contains numerous inaccuracies about the election won by Democratic Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs, Arizona's secretary of state.
The suit names Hobbs and Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer as defendants, along with other election officials in Maricopa, claiming their alleged misconduct “nullifies” the results of the election in the state’s most populous county and that their actions “wrongfully” led to the state naming Hobbs as the winner.
“Lake received the greatest number of votes and is entitled to be named the winner,” the lawsuit states. “Alternately, the election must be re-done in Maricopa County to eliminate the effects of maladminstration and illegal votes on the vote tallies reported by Maricopa County.”
The suit claims that ballot printer and tabulator failures, which Lake said were intentional, “created chaos” on Election Day with "oppressively long lines" that depressed voter turnout and disproportionately deterred Republican voters who were more likely to cast a ballot in her favor.
Maricopa County issued a report on the voting glitches late last month after the state’s Republican attorney general’s office demanded answers on widespread voting machine glitches. Election officials had urged voters at polling sites where machines malfunctioned to exercise other options, including either dropping their ballots in a secure box to be counted later in the day or going to another location to vote.
Lake's lawsuit seeks a series of court orders, including “setting aside the certified result of the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election and declaring that Kari Lake is the winner of the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election.”
Arizona certified its election results on Monday.
In a statement Friday, Hobbs' campaign manager blasted Lake's filing of a "sham lawsuit."
“Kari Lake needs attention like a fish needs water — and independent experts and local election officials of both parties have made clear that this was a safe, secure, and fair election,” Hobbs’ campaign manager said.
“Arizonans made their voices heart and elected Katie Hobbs as their governor. No nuisance lawsuit will change that, and we remain laser-focused on getting ready to hit the ground running on Say One of Katie Hobbs’ administration next year.”
If Republicans wish to become relevant again they need to purge the far right wing crazy out of the party. This should be embarrassing for all of them.

Trump Demands Items Be Returned 'at Once' After More Documents Discovered
Amid the latest discovery in Florida of additional classified documents in former President Donald Trump's possession, Trump said, "Everything should be returned, at once!"
On Friday, Trump made a post on his Truth Social platform calling the "taking of documents" by FBI agents "ILLEGAL."
"Under the Presidential Records Act and the very well established Clinton Socks Case, the raid of Mar-a-Lago by the FBI, and the taking of documents and many other items, was ILLEGAL," Trump said. "Everything should be returned, at once!"
Two days earlier, the Washington Post reported that an outside team hired by the former president found additional records outside his Mar-a-Lago home—which was raided for documents by the FBI in August—at a storage unit connected to Trump. The items were immediately turned over to the agency upon their discovery.
Tensions between the two sides have heightened in recent months, with the Department of Justice (DOJ) repeatedly seeking a sworn assurance from Trump's team that all records be returned and Trump's team unwilling to provide or sign such a statement.
In June, Trump's lawyers said a diligent search had been conducted. Yet evidence in the FBI's possession suggested there were still sensitive records in Trump's possession—a speculation that was later confirmed by August's court-authorized search. The government has reportedly recovered over 300 sensitive records from Trump since he left the White House.
In response to this week's reports of additional documents being found, Trump's team said he and "his counsel continue to be cooperative and transparent, despite the unprecedented, illegal and unwarranted attack against President Trump and his family by the weaponized Department of Justice."
The search of the storage facility in Palm Beach, Florida, is part of a larger search that Trump's outside team is conducting. It also has searched the former president's Bedminster golf club in New Jersey as well as his home and office at the Trump Tower in Manhattan. So far, no other classified documents have been found at the other locations.
New reports say that the DOJ is asking a federal judge to hold Trump's office in contempt of court for failing to comply with a subpoena issued in May that required all classified documents to be returned. A hearing on the matter is set for Friday.
If DC District Chief Judge Beryl Howell agrees to hold Trump in contempt, the former president could face daily fines until the demands of the subpoena are met. The cost of those fines will be left to Howell.
Of course the judge ended up not holding trump in contempt because you know, lying and stealing top secret documents while still hiding them isn't doing anything wrong.

Georgia Republican arrested on charges of stealing prescription narcotics from seniors' home he runs
A Georgia Republican was arrested after investigators said he stole prescribed narcotics from elderly people at the home he manages, according to local reports.
Danny Rampey, who is due to take a seat in the state's House of Representatives, was arrested on Thursday, according to records at the Barrow County Detention Center.
He ran unopposed in November after winning the primary in the state's 119th House district, and is due to take office in January.
Rampey is a manager at the family-owned Magnolia Estates of Winder Assisted Living Center.
Initially arrested on three felony charges, by the time he was released on bond Rampey faced 19, per court records reviewed by Insider.
They include six counts of burglary, six of exploitation of an elderly or disabled person, six of obtaining a controlled substance by theft, and one of possession of a controlled substance.
Barrow County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation a couple of weeks ago after receiving reports of "suspicious activity involving missing medications" at Magnolia Estates, according to the Athens Banner-Herald local newspaper.
Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith said in an interview with the paper that there is footage of Rampey going into the assisted living complex and taking medications.
Investigators served search warrants on Thursday at Magnolia Estates and Rampey's home, Smith said. Rampey was arrested as he was leaving the assisting the estate grounds, a Sheriff's Office spokesperson said, according to another loca-news source, the Gwinnet Daily Post.
Insider contacted Rampey, Magnolia Estates, and the Barrow County Sheriff's Office for comments on Sunday morning but did not immediately receive responses.
Investigators said they could file for additional charges as the investigation continues, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
