Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

if he's so innocent, why won't he admit he's not?

trump said something good yesterday

“This is not the place that I left,” he said.

Trump’s campaign team was miffed by a lack of traffic support from local police after he arrived in Washington, forcing the motorcade to weave through rush-hour traffic. Other motorists attempted to change lanes between the motorcade, showing less deference than typical for an average funeral procession. The welcome from onlookers at the courthouse was occasionally hostile, with several middle fingers from bikers and spectators along the highway from the airport. There was a Biden flag on a corner near the courthouse.

The former president said it was a “very sad day for America.”

for mental health reasons i try to keep this man and his army of hateful fools out of my head. but yeah if he comes within 100 miles of me he's going to get all my middle fingers as well as an interpretation of what the inside of my most wretched innards sound like when converted to hoarse screaming

It’s funny, when you make your entire brand “hate goblin”, people start hating you

Make America Hate Again

staging a deadly riot for your own personal gain doesn't appear to sit well with the locals

i don't ask for much, but i do ask for him and his entire family and everyone who has ever helped to him to immediately die

From this side of the pond we are very much back to our broadcast media gawping at all this and tacitly saying, "Would you look at these dumb American assholes, what a state".

you can spare Tiffany

(jk jk jk, sorry, too soon. i wish all the best to him and his lovely family and those wonderful supporters of his. honestly, he's already too in my head this morning, i think from all the news the last few days. i am hopeful that the jan 6 trial will be scheduled asap, before the other trials. if it gets scheduled after the maralago one, the shitty trump judge will acquiesce to all the predictable requests to delay the maralago trial until after the election, which will effectively push the other trials, including jan6, past the election as well. until those trial dates get set, i'm hitting the snooze on prognostication about these trials and the election, because it all depends on how much trump's team can convince trump's judges to sweep it under the rug until after the wonderful people of america can decide whether or not to give him power again)

middle fingers from BIKERS are worth double

the judge in charge of the Jan 6 case is an Obama appointee who issued some of the most stringent sentences for previous Jan 6 defendants, hopefully she is not as easy to influence as the mar-a-lago judge

xp

It's DC, probably bicycle commuters.

It’s funny, when you make your entire brand “hate goblin”, people start hating you

OTM, it's the revolution consuming its own children.

lol what

Try this out: "Your input or attention is purely optional".

you can spare Tiffany

Nah, she's got the curse. Mary is the only one worth a good god damn.

kind interesting how his family is a no show for all of this, havent seen them standing up for him in the media

now that they have the saudi wealth fund, they don't need to humor crazy daddy anymore?

id imagine the lawyers are telling them to stay away too considering theyre all prob implicated

A piece on the subject:

Don Jr, Eric, and Lara have all been showing up on various news shows complaining about this

From this side of the pond we are very much back to our broadcast media gawping at all this and tacitly saying, "Would you look at these dumb American assholes, what a state".

"Would you look at these dumb American assholes, what a state".

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/04/us/politics/desantis-trump-election-2020.html

Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida said that claims about the 2020 election being stolen were false, directly contradicting a central argument of former President Donald J. Trump and his supporters.

i guess someone finally persuaded him there is no winning lane to trump's right?

Mr. DeSantis also said he did not have much time to watch coverage of his chief rival’s arraignment on Thursday.

“I saw a little bit,” he said. “Unfortunately, one of the things as governor that you have to do is oversee executions. So we had an execution yesterday, so I was tied up with that for most of the day.”

ah well nevertheless

i guess someone finally persuaded him there is no winning lane to trump's right?

Or that there is no winning lane to saying Trump should be president.

Tied up all day? Damn, he gets kinky horny at the thought of killing people

When you're governor you have to throw the switch, when you're president you get to slit throats, that's his motivation for running.

Thought y'all would appreciate this reaction from a right wing newsletter that someone signed up for with my email:

The Biden administration has left the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution behind with its latest indictment of President Trump for daring to dispute the 2020 presidential election, as is his God-given right as a president, a citizen, and a candidate under state, federal and constitutional law.

This sham indictment is perfectly consistent with the partisan and political abuse I suffered at the hands of Jack Smith’s prosecutors for hours as they argued with me before their grand jury using Democratic talking points on the election controversy.

Let’s be blunt: This indictment is a naked threat and act of intimidation by the Democratic Party against any and all their political opponents. The message from the Biden regime is: “We will put you in jail if you dispute elections.” A free and fair 2024 election is officially impossible.

And, of course, Joe Biden and his political appointee Merrick Garland at the Justice Department want to distract from the conclusive evidence of Biden’s personal corruption by trying to jail and turn Trump into a political prisoner.

It is well past time for Congress to do everything possible under the law to undo this attempt to wreck our republican form of government.

Let’s hope the courts finally step up and shut down this unprecedented prosecutorial abuse.

In the meantime, Judic1al Watch will continue to expose and hold accountable the criminal elements in the Biden administration seeking to undo our republican form of government.

just a bit of lunacy, so let's be blunt

Let’s hope the courts finally step up and shut down this unprecedented prosecutorial abuse.

lmao of course they don't know how things work.

Yeah, Trump truthered that he wants SCOTUS to step in and put an end to this leftist madness

"We, the Supreme Court, hereby decree....stop it"

Who wrote that newsletter thing?

"Tom Fitt0n" for "Judic1al Watch"

quite fitt0n

Judicial Watch are just grifters

news you can use

DoJ isn't fucking around

BREAKING: DoJ has filed a motion for a PROTECTIVE ORDER in the trump coup case based on Donald’s social media posts. DoJ argues that improper dissemination of evidence could have a chilling effect on witnesses. I believe they’ll be granted this motion. pic.twitter.com/kBoJjk1shL

about fucking time

A dozen Trump supporters approached Mike Pence’s vehicle as he entered his Friday event yelling, “that’s a traitor,” “you’re a sellout,” and “why didn’t you uphold the constitution?” 
 
“I upheld the constitution,” Pence shouted back.
 
As they badgered him he yelled, “Read it!” pic.twitter.com/gKpeB2mntO

Meanwhile, what were assholes like Pence thinking? For years he defended Trump, or avoided criticizing Trump. He dragged his feet when asked to give testimony about Trump or be formally interviewed about Trump. He put up with all sorts of affronts to his purported morality, at the cost of his credibility and, in some cases, literally putting his life at risk. And this is all in service of a guy that despises him, and his supporters, who also despise him. And then, years later, he finally takes a turn for the minimally righteous, and no one gives a shit. All that stalling, all that shallow stoicism and sophistry, was in service of nothing, and he will go down in history as a footnote, disliked by the majority of both sides, having gotten nothing in return. It would be downright Job-like had it not all been self-inflicted and totally avoidable from the start.

Judicial Watch is a highly-evolved grift.

lmao of course they don't know how things work.

Here's the thing, though: they really do. They just pretend not to in order to gin up outrage and, hence, donations. They also pretend to be a watchdog group when they are, in fact, right-wing attack dogs.

It seems like they do a lot of filing legal requests and lawsuits that probably waste a considerable amount of time for various states and counties?

Absolutely. They abuse the legal system.

I actually kinda recommend signing up for their mailing list, just to see all the crazy shit they say/do/claim to have done.

TY Jordan, whoa what a thing that is. Their amicus briefs must read differently to their newsletters...

Damn now I'm wondering-- how many have they filed, and has one of them has ever been cited approvingly, anywhere?

Trump team tried to extend the deadline to respond to the protective order to Thursday and the judge said gtfo

https://www.meidastouch.com/news/federal-judge-denies-trump-extension-request-in-extraordinary-weekend-order

The prosecution's counter to their counter was pretty funny, and familiar to any parent. Basically, "if you spent more time doing your homework than you did complaining about doing your homework, then you'd be done already."

loving this

heard part of the reason trump's lawyers wanted a delay is so they could appear on every sunday morning show that would have them

Meanwhile, what were assholes like Pence thinking?

over the last 40 years countless people have tried to harness trump's fame, or money, or following, for their own benefit. all the lawyers/contractors/financial partners/political parties thought they could use him rather than being used by him, and they've almost all been wrong. pence is just one of them

two who *have* gotten away with using him are the saudis and rupert murdoch, because they're much richer and care even less about their 'reputations' than he does
