Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

Trump probably wouldn't want to leave prison--surrounded by adoring Nazis

as well as write an apology letter to its citizens

ha, that's like something you would have a fourth-grader do after the start a small grass fire

restorative justice in action

It's predictable that he was going push it with the gag order, but attacking the judge's staff again is really pushing it. I suspect he might want do some performative prison time, it will be a great boost for his fundraising.

ugh even that will ruin the celebration

"HA HA, YOUR CANDIDATE'S IN JAIL"

"jokes on you, he's playing 7D chess, what a headfake that you fell for"

Gettin' prison tats, makin' raisin wine. Asking Melania to put some money in his commissary account, lifting weights in the yard.

A comforting fantasy, and comforting fantasies are about all I have going for me right now

if he lifted weights he'd probably go into cardiac arrest

given his views on exercise at least

I suspect he might want do some performative prison time, it will be a great boost for his fundraising.

only if he can get it reduced to a couple weeks of just hanging around Mar-a-Lago. the man's never lived a day in discomfort in his life I'm sure he doesn't actually want to go to jail

Biden is way outraising Trump lately, based on what I've read

Going to jail for a post is the definition of a real poster

sentenced to 51 years

(I wish)

naw lots of people have for making threats

fraud, etc

frogs you even posted a thread about one in your early days!

oh just noticed he hadn't done it again, it was the failure to delete the og post and it was still up on his campaign site for several weeks after the gag order.

Right I mean there are crimes via posting but this is just standard Trumpposting which anyone could do. Not a huge distinction I admit

looks like Chesebro is now also pleading guilty

Here we go:

NEW: Kenneth Chesebro, alleged architect of the “fake electors” plot, has struck a plea deal with prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia, per source familiar with the arrangement. — Anna Bower, Lawfare

And he was in direct communication with Eastman and Clark and types like that. Fun!

bring it

fuck me, this was the guy who was marching with Alex Jones, wearing a maga hat on jan 6th!

excuse me, I've gotta flip this Cheesebro

When one cheese bro falls, they all fall.

Yeah this is kinda amazing -- they were the ones who wanted to force their trials early, got it, and then folded, something that otherwise might not have happened for months if at all. Truly self-owns; let's see what he agreed to give up.

Guys, guys, I'm getting...hopeful?

shhh lol

even just a few days ago I heard a practising lawyer on a legal podcast saying it was unlikely that true believer Trump cultists like Powell and Cheesebro would flip.

I'm sure Lindell will continue holding the line

this does feel like something of a moment

10/20/23: MAGA has fallen

pour one out for the cheesbro

et tu chesebro

more like chesemelt amirite

No bro of mine

grate expectations

none of these people were going to do 20 years for trump.

is it true that biden already has more followers on truth social than trump? because if true that is pretty funny. crowd size and all. sorry if talked about already.

The Biden campaign has more than the Trump campaign: https://www.axios.com/2023/10/18/biden-truth-social-followers-trump

gotta think truth social isnt too long for this world

yeah a bit misleading because Trump doesn't really have a "campaign" like Biden does, I'm sure Trump the person has more Truth Social followers than anybody

6.4M compared to the two campaigns' collective 45K

dt is a campaign unto himself

I can only assume anyone who signs up for Truth Social automatically gets subscribed to Trump, MySpace Tom style

xp He is large, he contains multitudes

Looks like a similarish arrangement to Powell, except he's pleading guilty to a felony, ergo I'm sure he's got a lot more stuff to spill:

Chesebro pleaded guilty to 1 felony count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents. He will be ordered to serve 5 yrs probation, pay $5,000 in restitution, complete 100 hrs of community service, write a letter of apology to citizens of GA, and testify truthfully at trial. — Sam Gringlas, WABE
