Vance Treading of Water after Comments about Governor Tim Walz

August 12, 2024

It’s been less than a month and a lot has been happening on the political front concerning Donald Trump. This article is about the record of Donald J. Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance for vice-president. It’s also kind of a diary of the candidates.

Donald Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania during a rally speech. A bullet glazed his right ear. He recovers quickly.

Donald Trump attends the Republican National Convention a week later and is confirmed to be the Republican Party candidate for the Presidency, to run against Joe Biden. He formally named J.D. Vance, from Ohio, as his Vice-President.

Donald Trump polls pulled way ahead of President Joe Biden, either in sympathy for Trump getting shot, or for the lack of Joe Biden’s support from the Democratic Party after a failed debate that made Donald Trump the true leader nationwide by the electorate in most all polls.

President Joe Biden decides to pull out of the race for the betterment of the country before being confirmed at the DNC, because of his lackluster performance and the acknowledgement that he doesn’t have enough time to recoil from the bad debate, no matter how much he wanted to run a second term. He would have been the oldest person to ever run for the presidency if he continued to run. He came down with Covid just prior to announcing he was not going to run.

Trump takes advantage of Joe Biden’s dropping out of the presidential race and claims that he beat Joe Biden and that the Dems do not have a viable candidate to run against him.

But then, Joe Biden passes the baton to his Vice-President, Kamala Harris to run for Vice-President of the United States, and polls in just a few short weeks turn around.

The story continues here, with Donald Trump, now the oldest candidate to run against a Democratic Candidate for President of the United States.

Donald Trump refused to accept in his mind that Kamal Harris, the Vice President of the United States, was going to run against him, let alone beat him in the election. Then, Trump doubles down on his doubt when the Vice-President chooses her running mate, Tim Walz, the sitting governor of Minnesota.

During this time, Donald Trump only took on a couple of debates, and mostly watched from the comforts of his Mar-a-Lago residence, the rise of Kamal Harris and Tim Walz, as poll after poll leads are changed into the Democrats column, including battleground states.

Trump continues his denial and claims that he is so far ahead of Kamala, that he doesn’t need to rally in earnest because he still believes he can win without debating so much. He originally turns down a debate date of September 10, 2024, because he claimed that it was to be held on the ABC network, and he now wanted the first debate on Fox News. He was willing to debate Biden, but he has no gut to debate a woman, especially Kamala Harris.

Kamal Harris refuses to accept a September 4, 2024, debate date proposed by Donald Trump, and she claimed she would attend a September 10th town hall even if Trump did not show up to debate, with an empty lectern with Trump’s name on it, and discuss her views for 90 minutes without Trump on that night.

She continued to hold her rally marathon in several key battleground states.

In the meanwhile, neither Trump nor Vance knows how to counterpunch against the very popular Democratic Candidates.

Last weekend, on August 10th and 11th, finally J.D. Vance comes out to defend himself and Donald Trump.

But instead of sticking to the script, he decided to try and take the news story and raise his concerns mainly against Tim Walz. As a veteran, he talked against the record of Tim Walz, who was in the Army National Guard for 24 years. Since when would a comrad service person talk against another? Only in the era of Donald Trump.

Just under a month before George H.W. Bush decided to draft the National Guard in a foreign war, Tim Walz decided to step down, not because of the Iraq war on the forefront, but because he wanted to after 24 years of service. He stepped down about a month prior to President Bush recruiting the National Guard into a foreign war, so Walz did not know his unit may be going into battle.

Before I go on here, let this be CLEAR. The Army National Guard was not instituted to send its people to foreign wars. They are to help protect this country, IN THIS COUNTRY. What happened was that President Bush knew that the draft would be very unpopular if he instituted it again, so he did in his mind was the next best thing, to deploy our Army National Guard to a foreign war. That meant that our home soil was now being less guarded for national issues that may arise in the country where troops would be needed, i.e. helping with hurricanes, flooding, etc. and even to defend our southern border with Mexico if necessary. You don’t have to believe what I say, as I never served in the Army, Air Force, Army or Marines. But here is a transcript of a conversation with Jessie “the body’ Ventura, a prior Governor of Minnesota, elected in 1998. Here what he had to say about Governor Tim Walz, and the U.S. National Guard.

“First and foremost, any point after 20 years you can retire when you want to. Second, Vance is missing the point. What he ought to be asking is this… Why is the National Guard being shipped out and fighting in foreign wars and other lands that isn’t their role? Their role is to be here in our nation, protecting us inside our own country. That’s why they are called the National Guard. What happened was that George Bush and Dick Cheney, when they started their folly with the Iraq war, they needed bodies. They couldn’t bring back the draft. It would be political suicide. So what did they do? Bush signed an executive order now sending our National Guard over in the world combat zones. That is ridiculous. That is for the regular military to be doing. That’s for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, not the National Guard, and besides, that Governor Walz already had 24 years in. He’s an E9 and and E9 doesn’t go out on patrol. An E9 doesn’t lead a demolition raid. E9’s are the highest enlisted belonging to that particular unit. They come out with the commanding officer, and they have a rapport with the CEO and the head enlisted. It’s a relatively honor position, more than it is any else. So Walt’s deploying and Vance is worried about that? I think Vance is doing a disservice to the United States Marine Corps, because I know a lot of great Marines, and Marines show respect. That’s the one thing you get out of a Marine, is respect. And Vance ought to look in the mirror and behave like a Marine.”

And again, if you do not believe me, watch two videos that can be watched right here… and you won’t find this truth on FOX NEWS.

Like Walz, Vance enlisted right out of high school. He served four years in the Marine Corps and was deployed to Iraq for about six months in 2005 and 2006. I praise him for his service.  But, he worked in public affairs and was never in combat, though that does not mean he was never in danger. So Vance is trying to proclaim here that his 6 months of service to his country is a better record than Governor Walz’s record because the Governor never served in a war.

But then, Vance could not leave it alone. He had to further attack Walz’s relationship with his wife, when he shook the hand of his wife after one of his speeches at a rally instead of giving her a kiss. Vance claims that he shouldn’t be called weird, that Tim Walz should be labeled as weird. That’s the best J.D. Vance can do at the moment.

Wow. Now it becomes personal for Tim Walz, and Vance truly doesn’t know what going to head his way. He’s got a VP debate coming up with Governor Walz. Actually Donald Trump’s decisions, which is what this website is all about is proof that although Vance does not like some actions by Governor Walz, he now runs with a failed prior president, who refused to kiss his wife at the Republican National Convention just a few weeks ago, and at that time, just about a month ago, Trump shook her hand at that time, instead of kissing her in front of the entire RNC convention and national TV. DO YOU REMEMBER THAT, SHADY VANCE?

Trump was found liable for sexual assault.

Trump is on video about sexually assaulting women.

Trump has filed for bankruptcy many times in the past

Donald Trump has been convicted of Fraud  by Justice Author Engoron and must pay a $355 million suit against him in a no jury case because of Trump’s attorneys failed to file motions in time for a jury case.

He is facing another sentancing by Judge Merchan in a conviction of 34 counts around September 16, a week after the debate with Kamal Harris.

Trump has been charged in another case, but it has been thrown out in the election subversion case against him the night before the RNC by Aileen Cannon in Florida. Donald Trump feels vindicated and claimed he was unjustly accused, but as soon as the election is over and if Trump does not win the election, he will be back in court with a different judge.

In Fulton County, Georgia, which includes most of Atlanta, District Attorney Fani Willis brought a huge racketeering case against Trump and 18 others, alleging a conspiracy that spread across weeks and states with the aim of stealing the 2020 election. This case is indefinitely postponed, as with the Immunity decision, making Donald J. Trump above the law while acting in his office as president, as now he believed he may not get charged at all. The case against him may get reduced because of the Supreme Court’s recent decision on Immunity of a president, but he still will be charged in Georgia for a substantial amount of crimes.

Donald J. Trump gave a speech to young republicans in New York that the bravest thing he ever did as was told to him by a military general was bragging that when he bragged about sexually assaulting women that it was locker room talk. He actually claimed that it was courageous to call that sexually assaulting women locker room talk.

Now on the lighter side if you consider this lighter, how about these  decisions of Donald J. Trump.

He has marriages with three separate women. His first wife, Ivana, accused him of sexually assaulting her. She later retracted her statement, but was she forced to retract the statement or not? Just the idea that she would even state it the first time raises questions about Donald Trump. Of course, he denies everything and lies about most everything, as no other president candidate for the highest office in the land has ever been a confirmed liar more than Donald Trump.

A book has been written by Ivana who is now deceased has retracted her statement about being raped by Donald Trump after an argument. She fell down the steps at one of Donald Trump’s golf courses and died. She’s buried at the gulf course, in a grave site that is overgrown with grass and weeds.

Is this the kind of person you want as your next President of the United States, someone who promotes Project 2025 even though he lies about that.

To get back on topic, let’s now hear in a video posted by MeidasTouch with the commentator who is also an attorney, published in a video about J.D. Vance and Donald J. Trump. Instead of having I transcribe it for you, it is important that you hear it for yourselves.

Here is the video in its entirety. View it and form your own opinion about J. D. (Shady) Vance and Donald Trump, as stated by Ben Meiselas who moderates the video.


redirect=’https://trumpdecisionpoints.com’
Over the weekend in a CNN interview, which spurred the MeidasTouch video, this is what Vance said:

“I had just been announced as a VP nominee. I gave my big speech, and I saw my wife, and I gave her a big hug and a kiss, because I love my wife, and I think that’s what a normal person does. Tim Walz gave his wife a nice, firm Midwestern handshake, and then tried to sort of awkwardly correct for it. So, I think that what it is, two people, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who aren’t comfortable in their own skin because they aren’t comfortable with their policy positions for the American people, and so they’re name calling instead of actually telling the American people how they’re going to make their lives better. I think that’s weird. Dana, but like that, they can call me whatever they want to.”

It is obvious to me that J.D. Vance did not really watch a single complete rally by Kamala and Tim. I would be ignorant to think that, as he watched them of course, but in order to be Trump’s gofer VP pick, he has to lie as much as he does. I hope he has time to watch the Democratic National Convention that conveines from August 19th through the 22nd.   At every rally, Tim Walz and Kamala Harris proclaim their records of service, and they have fun doing it, because it’s all true. J.D. Vance doesn’t have a record like theirs.  Vance never governed and never was a Vice-President, and in my opinion, is too young with his lack of a resume in public service to be one step away from the presidency.

But I give J.D. Vance one plus regarding his updated resume, if that’s what you call it, as he is building it every day he runs with the disgraced ex-president. He’s trying to catch up to Donald Trump’s lie telling. He will get called out on it, especially on this website. The more Trump and Vance lies about Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, the further down they will fall in the polls. The American electorate has their number.

The Fight is ON to Reverse the Supreme Court Immunity Ruling

July 26, 2024

The Supreme Court has decided that Presidents are above the law by issuing their immunity decision that allows presidents to break laws in office and as long as it was an official act, he cannot be prosecuted for it.  The ruling stems from a very Conservative Supreme Court, where there are 6 Republican elected justices and only 3 from the Democrats. The court also ruled that a woman no longer has control over her own body when it comes to reproductive rights, that the states can now decide the fate if a woman can have an abortion or not, even when the pregnancy was due to a rape.

Representative Joseph Moselle, who is a Democrat from the state of New York, introduced a constitutional amendment on July 24th, 2024 that will undue the high court’s decision that former presidents enjoy a presumption of criminal immunity for official acts.

No one, whether you are in high office, the highest office or a citizen of the United States, should have absolute immunity for actions that fall within the core responsibilities of their office and are “presumptively immune” for all other acts that are deemed official.

Only Donald Trump would have ever filed a suit regarding his federal election subversion case in Washington, D.C. because he is corrupt and is trying to save himself of crimes he committed in office. As a convicted felon, he will now try and have those convictions overturned, but in the State Case where he was convicted, that may prove more difficult. In a few months, Trump will face a judge that will sentence him on his crimes.

Since the Supreme Court made a ruling on a constitutional issue, their decisions are final and cannot be challenged unless a constitutional amendment is introduced that the high court will visit again.

This country runs with the idea that NO person is above the law, and that is to include presidents. This country never had a person such as Trump as our president.

The bottom line here, Moselle said “Presidents are not monarchy, they are not tyrants, and shall not be immune”.

 

 

Supreme Court Grants Trump Broad Immunity for Official Acts, Placing Presidents Above the Law

July 2, 2024

July 1, 2024 11:45 am

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court today ruled that former President Trump is at least presumptively immune from criminal liability for his official acts, and is absolutely immune for some “core” of them — including his attempts to use the Justice Department to obstruct the results of the election. With respect to Trump’s other actions, the court left to the lower courts much of the work required to determine which are immune and which are not. At bottom, though, the court’s 6-3 majority freed presidents to use their official powers to engage in criminal acts substantially free of accountability.

The court granted absolute immunity to President Trump’s use of the Justice Department for fraudulent purposes. With respect to other allegations in the indictment, it sent the case back to the lower courts to determine whether actions for which former President Trump has been charged were official acts or personal acts, and whether the government can rebut the presumption that former President Trump is immune for those official acts. The court did reject former President Trump’s claim to absolute immunity for all acts unless convicted after an impeachment trial, characterizing its ruling as endorsing a “far broader immunity than the limited one” the court “recognized” today.

The American Civil Liberties Union and ACLU of the District of Columbia filed a friend-of-the-court brief arguing that the U.S. Constitution and decades of Supreme Court precedent support the principle that nobody is above the law — even the president. While the court found that a president’s actions as a private individual are not immune to criminal prosecution, it held that presidents do have substantial immunity for their official actions – even when undertaken for personal ends and criminal purposes.

“On purely partisan lines, the Supreme Court today for the first time in history places presidents substantially above the law. It ruled that former President Trump cannot be prosecuted for deploying Justice Department officials to pursue his own criminal ends. And with respect to other presidential actions, it announces ‘presumptive immunity,’ and offers only a vague and unworkable standard that is likely to mire the case against former President Trump in years of litigation without holding him accountable for his criminal conduct in resisting the peaceful transfer of power,” said ACLU National Legal Director David Cole. “The opinion also sits like a loaded weapon for Trump to abuse in the pursuit of criminal ends if he is reelected.”

While the court rejected President Trump’s most expansive and categorical claim of absolute immunity, it granted him substantial immunity for criminal conduct, including all crimes he committed by attempting to enlist Justice Department officials. And it leaves open many questions about when and for what conduct presidents will be immune from criminal prosecutions, in this case and into the future. The decision sets a dangerous precedent by giving presidents legal cover to break the law when even arguably using their formal powers to do it. And by concluding that former President Trump’s alleged directions to the Department of Justice are absolutely immune, and that his conversations with former Vice President Pence are presumptively immune, the court has not only obstructed accountability for Trump, but freed future presidents to act above the law when using their official powers.

The ACLU’s brief argued that while it has long been recognized that presidents cannot be prosecuted criminally in office, even presidents themselves have recognized that they can be prosecuted after leaving office. That is why President Gerald Ford deemed it necessary to pardon President Richard Nixon in 1974 following the Watergate scandal – a pardon that would have been unnecessary were Nixon immune from criminal prosecution.

“Our nation, including the District of Columbia, is governed by the rule of law, not kings,” said Monica Hopkins, executive director of the ACLU of the District of Columbia. “As we stated in our brief, there are few propositions more dangerous in a democracy than the notion that an elected head of state is above the law. Upholding the rule of law protects individual rights and prevents abuse of power by ensuring equal treatment and accountability. The Constitution does not give the President a special license to violate criminal law. Today’s ruling substantially undermines the ability to hold elected officials accountable and threatens longstanding principles undergirding our democracy.”

The ACLU’s brief warned that there are “few propositions more dangerous” in a democracy than the notion that an elected head of state is above the law, and urged the Supreme Court to reject this extraordinary assertion.

“The President’s accountability to the law is an integral part of the separation of powers and the rule of law. If the President is free, as counsel for the former President argued below, to order the assassination of his political opponents and escape all criminal accountability even after he leaves office, both of these fundamental principles of our system would have a fatal Achilles’ heel,” the brief reads.

The ACLU’s brief in Trump v. United States is part of the ACLU’s Joan and Irwin Jacobs Supreme Court Docket.
