Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

^^^^^^^^^^^

EXCLUSIVE: ABC News has obtained video from Georgia prosecutors' interview with ex-Trump attorney Jenna Ellis, in which Ellis tells them she was personally informed by a top Trump adviser that Trump was "not going to leave" the White House — despite losing the 2020 election.… pic.twitter.com/J9c4bm9cbZ

And yet ... she kept banging the drum for them.

I’m not sure they are in a position to do anything different from what they have been doing. His base does not recognize them as legitimate. And there are no people left who consume both the new york times and fox news and try to decide which one they agree with. Completely separate audiences.

Xp lol, these “flippers” hope they will be rehabilitated like michael cohen sort of was. Alas they will not.

People at least pity cohen. He has a wounded basset hound quality.

the NYT is shitty for a number of reasons but going easy on Trump is not one of them. I hate to 'both sides' this but the left and right do the same media grievance shit when the reality is what treesh said, if everything Trump did was covered the way emails and "deplorables" was there would have to be like 15x more news

🚨🚨 LISTEN >> Donald Trump BRAGS that “nobody has ever done more” to ban abortion across the country by “[putting] 3 Supreme Court justices who all voted” to overturn Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/Ek45N2WF51

They are just reporting on public perception. They are not saying he should be seen as a moderate on abortion, just that he is for some incomprehensible reason.

In fact, that article cites examples of Trump taking full credit for banning abortion

Cohen was a Trump henchman/legal thug/fixer though wasn't he? and he even said he'd take a bullet for him at the time. I feel quite sure he is a despicable person who has done lots of bad stuff to people on behalf of Trump, that he still hasn't properly atoned for. Great accent though!

He would have taken a bullet for trump and did, going to jail because he did something trump told him to do. And then when he was in jail Trump insulted him nonstop.

There is pathos there. He obviously is a bad guy.

Michael Cohen did go to jail for a year, that's more than most of these morons have been punished. Steve Bannon is still walking free like he's King Turd.

"like"

Before he flipped I saw Michael Cohen standing around outside when I was coming back from lunch. I think he was at an event for his daughter. I almost said something nasty to him but he looked so sad and lost.

good

donald trump is a new farm animal and the sound he makes is STAWNK!!

what's it gonna taaaaaaaaake

everybody knows how to dance, even with just one more-STAAAAAWNK! *airhorn*

i jest at all this even though it's kind of terrifying to think about the number of people who like this, who want this man back on their screens again with even more frequency, so that politics can be more like tv again

Who could've guessed that he'd repeatedly violate his gag order?

in the Ruby Freeman/Shaye Moss defamation case, Giuliani's lawyer has filed a motion for a bench trial next month rather than face a jury to decide how much of whatever is left of his personal fortune he is going to lose. Lol, he is so fucked .. the arc of the moral universe is long ... etc

I can't tell whether that screed is more unhinged than the time he gave thanks for himself, or less.

Special counsel Jack Smith has extracted data from the cell phone Donald Trump used while in the White House and plans to present evidence of his findings to a Washington, D.C. jury to demonstrate how Trump used the phone in the weeks during which he attempted to subvert the 2020 election.

17 days without a bump, what bliss

Probably more than Don Jr. could say.

heyooooo

A+

this bump seems fairly promising tho?

[he said, licking his lips]

Fuck it, I don't know, I've been so miserable about Trump a) escaping any censure b) winning election c) becoming dictatorial tyrant until his death that I'm willing to cheer this guy doing his best to pre-circumvent Trump's lawyers' circumventions.

for the March 4th trial Jack Smith is apparently going to play a video history of Trump's election result denial going back as far as Obama/Romney to a jury and his recorded history of denying the validity of absentee ballots when they don't favour him. It must look quite insane behaviour when shown in series, almost hilarious.

Has anyone written anything about how you might try to run a campaign for the US presidency from jail?

there is precedent!

https://images.jacobinmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/16062225/debs-prisoner.jpg

Debs would have been the best pres ever tho, placing him in the same category as this fascist goon is a grave insult to Debs

Every member of Congress would've lined up to shoot him on Inauguration Day, so we would never have known.

"Debs ran as a Socialist candidate for President of the United States five times: 1900 (earning 0.6 percent of the popular vote), 1904 (3.0 percent), 1908 (2.8 percent), 1912 (6.0 percent), and 1920 (3.4 percent), the last time from a prison cell."

Percentage stayed fairly constant. So running from jail not a factor.

Anyway it will be wild to see the logistics behind the run.

Holy ha ha at his new shill for NFTs:

Weird, why does that happen? Let's try this:

https://www.threads.net ✧@aa✧✧✧.ru✧✧✧/post/C0wrdFWAY_1

Huh. Weird.

Mastodon and Threads don't link well here for some reason

replace @ with "at"
it's the site method for googleproofing email addresses iirc

https://www.threads.net/ataaron.rupar/post/C0wrdFWAY_1

i support all threads relating to NFTs getting a really weird unusable link

Makes sense that Trump Inc. would still be on the NFT grift. It's like he always likes to have a few lawsuit pokers in the lawsuit fire, just in case.

selling dumb cartoons that don't actually exist to gullible rubes is a Trump dream come true

The fine print says they're for 'enjoyment' and 'not an investment'.
