Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

That’s enough for coffee for his lawyer and lawyer’s assistant, so that’s something, right

tbh Manubir S. Arora sounds like the name on one of those "Nigerian prince" emails I'm always getting.

wonder how many people will end up incarcerated over jan 6/election conspiracy they really got carried away just started doing crimes right out in the open

xxp if anyone can order a coffee that costs more than $10, it's a lawyer, not sure $20 is gonna cover the two of them unless they don't tip ;)

can't believe I misspelled my own natural-born name of four decades

Gride: to scrape, graze, or rub against something so as to produce a harsh rasping sound

Glenallen Mixon sounds like a journeyman utility infielder who never got past AA in the farm system during the Reagan administration.

I thought he sounded like a Civil War general.

feel like the odds of serious consequences are gonna go way up if they can actually figure out why exactly he wanted those documents

I'm less optimistic about the documents case because I think the judge will probably delay as much as possible and ultimately throw it out

"Robin........ itturnsoutthat...the documents he got indicted for retaining and concealing are......the documents he retained to prevent himself FROM BEING PUNISHED FOR STEALING!" "GREAT SMOKES BATMAN IT IS INGENIOUS!"

Judge Chutkan issued a partial gag order in the Jan 6 case restricting Trump from making or reposting comments that attack the prosecutors, the court, or any witnesses.

I'm sure that'll hold for approximately 15 minutes

ok?

You might be surprised -- the official statement is, notably and hilariously, venting in terms that absolutely fit the contours of the order as Chutkan specified:

“Today’s decision is an absolute abomination and another partisan knife stuck in the heart of our Democracy by Crooked Joe Biden, who was granted the right to muzzle his political opponent, the leading candidate for the Presidency in 2024, and the most popular political leader in America, President Donald J. Trump. President Trump will continue to fight for our Constitution, the American people’s right to support him, and to keep our country free of the chains of weaponized and targeted law enforcement.”

No mention of Smith, the court, etc. but as Chutkan specifically allowed for, venting re Biden and the general situation perfectly fine. (Again, how long this lasts, who knows.)

trump has plenty of practice at making his thoughts perfectly visible even though they're swaddled inside a cocoon of vagueness and apparent ambiguity.

Oh sure! And one suspects that all sides understand this.

He may continue to stick to the order, he may not. If he doesn't, it's not as if the judge will just throw up her hands in frustration and let it happen. We need to drop this self-defeatist fantasy that he is absolutely invulnerable to any consequences when he's been on a losing streak since 2020.

I think you're reading much more into the past few posts than what they said.

Not necessarily a response to anything specific on here, just the general vibe that the Judge's actions and various other things aren't punitive enough or that nothing will ever change or there's never any consequences. It wasn't aimed at anything you or Ned said.

last time I saw something like this it was a news anchor having a stroke on live TV

yeah that is very odd

can't wait til this fucker drops dead on stage

I don't have an ounce of sympathy for him but man his dad's political career appears to have wrecked his life. during the 2016 RNC I remember him giving a speech and thinking he was actually a pretty decent speaker who came off fairly sharp. like in a "oh fuck, this one's gonna get into politics too" sort of way. but every year he's gotten progressively worse and every time I've seen him lately he's just looked extremely unwell. even his dad still looks like he's sometimes having fun but Jr. comes off like one of those dudes from the end of Boogie Nights. and he keeps going after Hunter too, constantly describing him as a guy who meets the exact description as the man in the mirror

when you step back its a pretty amazing story they really flew too close to the sun

funny detail jared kushner off to the side collecting billions of dollars in kicksbacks from the saudis while the trump boys are in court having their businesses shut down and so forth

constantly describing him as a guy who meets the exact description as the man in the mirror

point of order: Hunter's dad actually loves him

"Honomership!"

Built completely out of cocaine bricks.

that's why it's best advice to have a couple beers before the interview, not four Jack & Cokes

so funny seeing him angrily losing it at the press conference about the Mar-a-Lago valuation "it's probably the most expensive property in the world" "it could be worth billions.."etc etc... From what I can gather it was zoned as a club to stave off bankruptcy and has scores of rich members who have paid a quarter of a million in subs. So really, he barely even owns it. Nothing new here - just me discovering this stuff for the first time.

yeah they were all circling much smaller nearby properties that sold for insane prices but just forgetting to mention that its zoned as a club and is in fact a club

maybe you could get it rezoned put up a some mansions but even then it would be worth maybe a few hundred million tops not a billion, and it would cost a lot to get there

so funny seeing him angrily losing it at the press conference about the Mar-a-Lago valuation "it's probably the most expensive property in the world" "it could be worth billions.."

even funnier considering he's literally on trial for exaggerating the value of his properties
