Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

That worked for Weinstein.

Oh wait, it didn’t.

he could hold one box labelled *beautiful mind* on his lap. and ask it for advice every once in a while. how sad! you can't convict!

Maybe Smith can just ask Baier to cross-examine him.

a little behind just seeing these clips now lol!!

Trump brags to Bret Baier about granting Alice Johnson clemency.

Baier informs him that she would be killed under his policy proposal of executing drug dealers.

Trump is caught off guard: "No, no. No. Under my pl–. Under that? UHHHHHHHHHHH..." pic.twitter.com/WxSWOIQVi5

"Okay. Starting now."

UHHHHHHHHHHH

Perfect

She would be executed under his plan, but the flip side is she would've served far less time.

well yeah, they would kill her when she was still young and bad rather than old and good.

Trump's plan was to make Henry McMaster the Governor of South Carolina. But first he had to get rid of the mediocre Nikki Haley by...appointing her U.N. Secretary.

Trump: Nikki Haley hasn't caught on, everyone knows she is highly overrated…

trying to ask him why he did anything at all is going to be a useless endeavor because he just... does stuff

It certainly illustrates that his appointments are not well thought out when so many major ones end up under the bus, not exactly a picture of quality executive leadership.

At this point, further proof of Trump's incompetence is truly coals to Newcastle.

“So nice to see that Sloppy, Low Energy RINO Bill Barr, gets loudly booed and shouted at everywhere he goes! He is sooo bad for America,” Trump wrote Tuesday on his Truth Social platform.

Barr gets booed?

so weird how these terrible traitors always seemed to elude his judgment when he nominated them

Going great!

At Bedminster last night, Trump says some of the best lawyers and law firms in the country contacted him offering their help but he told them he didn’t need it. pic.twitter.com/63UkRZVqog

"They had me at 'sir'" ...

the biggest people

he doesn't need them, he got Rudy

Rudy (as we all know) can't fail

Meantime, this filing in re the Carroll suit and an appeal may seem pro forma:

But to quote Mitchell Epner on Bluesky:

In my 25+ years as an attorney, I've never seen an appellant who had the $ that couldn't get a supersedeas bond. Donald Trump is so distrusted by the bonding community (who usually deal w/felons) that he has to deposit 110% of the $5M verdict into the Southern District of New York ($5.5M) to take an appeal.

Donnie Empty-Pockets

lmao 110%

111%!

I like the read of this:

ALERT: Special Counsel Jack Smith files motion with Judge Aileen Cannon in Trump criminal case

“The government files this motion to continue the trial date to December 11, 2023”

(More)

Namely, that this is not a delay but rather the counter, moving the tent date to a firm December, thus preempting Trump's typical delay strategy, while at the same time giving him several more months to put his foot in his mouth, while at the same time giving the government even more time to firm up its case, do interviews, find more evidence, etc.

Well, speaking of foot in mouth

ctrl-F "sir"

His need to show off is even greater than his (very large) sense of self-preservation.

this is what happens when you elect a joke president. the country would have been better off with a sign that said "deez nuts" propped up on a chair in the oval office.

Yeah, but the joke's on us.

Deez Nuts/Squirrel 2024

Personally, I intend to vote for Joe.

Mama

we have to get bofa before the Supreme Court

lol

That audio is hilarious

"Let me show you this buttfor I snuck out of the Oval Office before I left"

Most of all bc he doesn’t seem to know that the pentagon draws up plans for tons of scenarios. The existence of that doc doesn’t mean milley “planned to attack iran”

Grasp any straw!

Former President Donald Trump insisted on Tuesday that he was not showing off classified documents in an audio clip first published by CNN in which he referred to “highly confidential” material and “secret information” that he could no longer declassify.

“I would say it was bravado, if you want to know the truth, it was bravado,” Trump said in an interview aboard his plane with Semafor and ABC News. “I was talking and just holding up papers and talking about them, but I had no documents. I didn’t have any documents.”

The latest comments suggested a new potential legal argument from the former president: That he was overselling the material he was showing to an aide and people working on a biography of former chief of staff Mark Meadows in the recording, a transcript of which featured heavily in his recent federal indictment.

“I just held up a whole pile of — my desk is loaded up with papers. I have papers from 25 different things,” he said, adding he kept relevant news articles about topics like Iran on hand.

Asked about his use of the word “plans” during a Fox News interview earlier Tuesday to describe some items he may have highlighted in the 2021 meeting, Trump insisted he was referring to “building plans” and plans for golf courses strewn about his desk.

“Did I use the word plans?” he said. “What I’m referring to is magazines, newspapers, plans of buildings. I had plans of buildings. You know, building plans? I had plans of a golf course.”

Asked if he had any regrets about his handling of classified documents, Trump said he did not.

NO REGERTS

Gen Milley totally fucked up the 16th hole. Lots of missing balls.

Okay he kind of sounds like he knows he’s fucked now

Can I just say? It's unlikely that Trump will ever see jail time, but I love - love! - the idea of all his knucklehead followers getting busted in convoluted, stupid plans to bust him out. Hell, I would love a parade of failed jailbreaks even if Trump was *not* in jail, like these nerds were so far up their own butts they were convinced he was in Guantanamo and hatched some ill-fated schemes.

They used to call that natural selection.

i was startled by his use of the word "please" when asking for cokes, v. weak imo
