We're talking about the same state with Rick Scott as a senator, the standard for secret alien-looking politician is pretty high.

what is his plan? why is he running? is he running?

Did you spot this attack from a pro-DeSantis super last week that went WAY further than almost any 2024 R's have gone?

Don't expect to see it again: @shelbytalcott scoops that it drew strong pushback within the PAC. One ally called it a "massive mistake."https://t.co/al2WI9nFxq pic.twitter.com/kBGttMOJCd

Plan B for when the big man dies. Or Secretary of Book Burning.

I don't know about the effect on right wing media, but the much-anticipated Durham Report already seems to be fading down the headlines, a day after its release

there were no bombshells, and there was no 'total exoneration' - apparently it stated that Trump should have been investigated, but agents should've vetted their sources better - and that's about it

Deep State Durham

No MAGA will ever believe Trump is dead even if they see a skeleton

Garrison will still draw that skeleton as virile and muscular.

only the best and most spectacular bones, just amazing really

My favorite current right-wing conspiracy theory is about the Biden whistleblowers. Supposedly there is a whistleblower, but now that mysterious whistleblower, who has not been named or identified, has vanished, possibly because the deep state covered it up, possibly because he's been murdered, along with a whole bunch of other whistleblowers. Because if they weren't disappeared, one way or the other, then why have they not appeared? Logic.

Last I saw they have the whistleblower still, and he's got really good stuff, but his main witness is the one who went missing.

Fucking deep state.

he got vince fostered

Schrödinger's informant.

Deep fucking state.

hah my Roganpilled brother brought that up during Mother's Day dinner, as usual I got that feeling you get when people are having a deep conversation about some TV show you've never seen

Dud, son of Dud.

Why it all sounds so fun over there in Trump legal land (gift link)

"Alan Feuer covers extremism and political violence."

It’s a living, sadly.

“A conflict inside former President Donald J. Trump’s legal team erupted into public view on Saturday as one of his former lawyers went on television to attack one of his current lawyers, who has been the focus of ire from others on the team.”

Haha... She's going for it:

The author and columnist E Jean Carroll will go back to court to demand “very substantial” additional damages from Donald Trump for the disparaging remarks he made about her during a televised CNN town hall just a day after he was found liable in a civil case for sexually assaulting her.

An amended lawsuit seeking an additional $10m in compensatory damages – and more in punitive damages – was filed in Manhattan on Monday by lawyers for Carroll...

Raymond C I wonder if any of these lawyers has been paid yet

If they didn't demand sizeable retainers, then they're even dumber than I thought.

Here's your sizeable retainer

Thank you, you're marvelous.

Trump is now calling DeSantis "Rob" because of a typo in a Daily Mail headline.

By now these lawyers HAVE to be demanding retainers or they don’t deserve their law licenses

Classic alpha dog move from Trump letting the whole world see how he's whining like a little baby to Merrick Garland for mercy. Meanwhile, Michael Beschloss is feeling like a lil mischief maker.

Click through for lolz

Um just file maybe

love that he included his lawyer's cell #

Hilarity ensues - I wonder how many texts that poor sap received last night

that letter also implies that Hunter Biden is being treated fairly, so...

When I read stuff like that, I am reminded (as though I needed another reminder) just how repugnant Trump's personality is on a basic human level.

some of the replies speculate that this is a desperate last ditch effort to head off the document mishandling indictment that's likely dropping soon

That's no joke. He's likely facing charges under the Espionage Act.

Would love for him to face charges from multiple bolts of lightning

Unfortunately the only justice we'll ever actually see will come when his heart finally gives out on his 187th consecutive fast food meal.

Hopefully that will happen when he’s on the toilet

A la Elvis

Hopefully that will happen when he’s on the toilet

No no, I want to see this onstage at CPAC, I want to see every moment of it

He might be on the toilet at CPAC

And the walls might fall over, like in Jurassic Park.

Trump gets really lucky with opponents sometimes

Not with this one he doesn't:

NEW: Trump's lawyers are warning him to get ready for a *federal* indictment, and soonhttps://t.co/zwxprl6mkj

The article more or less says the lawyers want him to "get ready" because it would be stupid to be caught flat-footed and unprepared when the smart alternative is to prepare for it, even if it doesn't happen. Duh. Of course lawyers would give that advice. It's the right advice.

If by 'get ready' they meant 'prepare an array of personal assaults to lob at any potential judge and/or their family members once the hammer drops', I think he's on the case.
