"By signing below, I certify that I am not currently registered and reporting as a federal lobbyist as defined by the Lobbying Disclosure Act as amended or a compensated as a state lobbyist in any state," Spicer said, reading from a form. "If I was listed as a lobbyist on the most recent lobbying disclosure form, a report required to be filed by federal or state law, I hereby notify the president-elect and transition team that I have filed the necessary form with the appropriate government agencies to terminate my status as a registered lobbyist. I will provide the presidential-elect transition team with written evidence of my federal state lobbyist termination as soon as possible."

Yes, and it behooves our security services to remain vigilant about the influence of this dangerous psychopath.Based on what I am seeing on FB his supporters are still there.
35% of the American voting public do not believe in the US Constitution and that all men are created equal. They believe in an Autocratic government.People Can Be Stupid . Trump loves uneducated people . Or people with an education but still not all that bright .
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocracy#Autocracy is a system of government in which supreme power over a state is concentrated in the hands of one person, whose decisions are subject to neither external legal restraints nor regularized mechanisms of popular control (except perhaps for the implicit threat of coup d'état or other forms of rebellion).
https://www.politifact.com/factchec...illing/schilling-throws-wild-pitch-nazi-stat/For starters, in the last totally free elections in Germany in 1932, the Nazi party beat out every other party, winning about 33 percent of the vote and taking control of the parliament, or Reichstag. That election put Hitler on his path to running the country. (In presidential elections earlier in the year, Hitler did not do as well.) Fertig said the Reichstag vote is an inexact yardstick for German support, although it captures some level of popular sympathy for the Nazi agenda. After 1933, Germany was a totalitarian state, and voting was either coerced or nonexistent.

Yes, these "savages" were very advanced in the art of governance, as well as conservation of the environment.WE THE PEOPLE , in the American Constitution , is Native American made . Iroquois , I think .
The Iroquois Confederacy gave rise to the first federal constitution on the American continent. That constitution, the Great Law of Peace (the Great Law), provided for federalism, separation of powers, equitable distribution of wealth, accountability of elected officials, freedom of assembly, speech, and religion, and a system of natural rights that influenced thinkers like Benjamin Franklin, Jean Jacques Rousseau, and Frederick Engels.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the Great Law was its recognition of the status and suffrage accorded women by the Iroquois Confederacy. Approximately one-fourth of the Great Law's clauses recognize the power and influence of women in the Iroquois culture.'
While Franklin and the Founding Fathers borrowed liberally and literally from the Great Law in theorizing about and framing the American model, no reference to universal suffrage or the rights of women appeared in the United States Constitution as originally written.
https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/217227134.pdfIt was not until the passage of the nineteenth amendment in 1920 that the United States Constitution recognized women as sentient citizens with an ability to exercise the vote. United States courts, taking their cue from the Constitution, had regarded women as merely the property of their husbands, fathers, and brothers. 2

Does any of this sound familiar?
And look at the current division between democrats and republicans.Two party system has this virtue. Opposition to Hitler was divided, so he could gain power even with 33%.
Hitler began Mein Kampf while imprisoned for what he considered to be "political crimes" following his failed Putsch in Munich in November 1923.
Although he received many visitors initially, he soon devoted himself entirely to the book. As he continued, he realized that it would have to be a two-volume work, with the first volume scheduled for release in early 1925.
....The governor of Landsberg noted at the time that "he [Hitler] hopes the book will run into many editions, thus enabling him to fulfill his financial obligations and to defray the expenses incurred at the time of his trial."[4][5] After slow initial sales, the book became a bestseller in Germany following Hitler's rise to power in 1933
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mein_KampfHe accumulated a tax debt of 405,500 Reichsmark (very roughly in 2015 1.1 million GBP, 1.4 million EUR, 1.5 million USD) from the sale of about 240,000 copies before he became chancellor in 1933 (at which time his debt was waived).
On both the criminal and civil litigation fronts, former President Donald Trump faces a bevy of lawsuits and investigations, with more cases likely to follow.
https://www.justsecurity.org/75032/...riminal-and-civil-cases-against-donald-trump/Some are civil suits stemming from his pre-presidential business dealings. Others are defamation claims from women he allegedly assaulted. More still are criminal probes and civil actions that scrutinize his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The Chart below tracks all these cases. It will be continually updated as major legal developments occur.......more
The parallels are unmistakable.
Former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum drew criticism for comments last week that "there isn't much Native American culture in American culture."
In remarks to conservative group the Young America's Foundation on Friday, Santorum argued that the culture of the United States is largely unchanged since it was birthed by "Judeo-Christian" values.
Santorum, 62, a Republican from Pennsylvania who served in the Senate from 1995 to 2007 and is now a CNN commentator, said there was "nothing here" before European settlers arrived.
"We came here and created a blank slate," Santorum said. "We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here. I mean, yes we have Native Americans, but candidly there isn't much Native American culture in American culture."
The reaction to Santorum's comments, which were first transcribed and publicized by Media Matters for America, was swift.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...e-isn-t-much-native-american-culture-n1265407Jaime Harrison, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, called Santorum's comments "hot garbage."
Much has been said about the inspiration of the ancient Iroquois “Great League of Peace” in planting the seeds that led to the formation of the United States of America and its representative democracy.
The Iroquois Confederacy, founded by the Great Peacemaker in 1142, is the oldest living participatory democracy on earth 2. In 1988, the U.S. Senate paid tribute with a resolution 3 that said, "The confederation of the original 13 colonies into one republic was influenced by the political system developed by the Iroquois Confederacy, as were many of the democratic principles which were incorporated into the constitution itself."
https://www.pbs.org/native-america/...ois-great-law-of-peace-shaped-us-democracy/#1The peoples of the Iroquois Confederacy, also known as the Six Nations, refer to themselves as the Haudenosaunee, (pronounced "hoo-dee-noh-SHAW-nee"). It means “peoples of the longhouse,” and refers to their lengthy bark-covered longhouses that housed many families. Theirs was a sophisticated and thriving society of well over 5,000 people when the first European explorers encountered them in the early seventeenth century.
Rick Santorum belongs in a Sanatorium.

Apparently this pensive idiot, ex-Senator Santorum, has never read the Constitution of the United States and its history.
