POTUS 45.65: I'm Just Here For The Lincoln Project Ads

[Handyman]

So Trump whines on his way into the courthouse today that if there was a jury, he'd win.

Then inside, his lawyer kept making statements all dramatically and the judge reminded him a few times that there's no jury to perform for. ... to which Trump hasn't stopped audibly grumbling about.

You know who could have helped in his quest to get a jury...

No link, but Rudy's Georgia RICO lawyer is out. No details yet.

He is broke...and well much like doctors make the worst patients lawyers probably make the worst clients. If you know you are going to get stiffed do you want to deal with that troll?

I'll give Hutchinson and Liz Cheney credit for stepping up at the last minute. However, this entire premise their party is running that governing does not matter has got to end if our country and species is going to survive.

Cheney isnt MAGA and she literally lost her job (and her party) fighting him. She would not vote for him or any other MAGA. (nor would Kinzinger) Hutchinson gets no credit for nothing. She is cashing in nothing more nothing less. If she looked like Sarah Huckabee Sanders she would not be getting half the back slaps as she does now.

I think we need to differentiate "Trumpism" from "regular right wing views I personally find abhorrent".


Example: Dick Cheney harbors views that I think are awful, however he is a (small "d") democrat in that he embraces democracy and, win or lose, supports the process. Trumpists actively reject the process.

Trumpism is about meanness and cruelty and only aligns with the right because it was convenient to Trump to use that (and the right in the mid-teens was ripe for a monster like him).


Now, 8 years after Trump threw his hat in the ring, he's merged them. But they are not the same, at their heart.

Yeah...I am sick of the media letting these criminals whitewash their reputations. All of them will vote for Trump in 2024 and if he offers they would line up to serve him. Screw all of them especially Kelly, Barr and Hutchinson. I don't care how much they cooperated they also enabled him at every turn. They should all serve time as should Conway and anyone else. Lock em all up the MAGAs should get no quarter.

Exactly. If they turn state evidence, fine, they don't get the wall. But they also don't get a statue.

They do have more than a smidgen of "I'm aghast the leopard ate my face" about them.

I'm pretty sure we can guess the details.

Trump mouthed off on TS again about the law clerk in his civil trial and the judge finally put a gag order in place.

[ScoobyDoo]

He's saying regardless of any outcome you make the move.

I don't necessarily disagree but he's operating under the old paradigm where the Supreme Court isn't politicized. Now that it is I'm not sure a test is worth it.

And so I asked him, "my Lord, why were there only 90 guilty verdicts?", and he said onto me, "My son, during the 91st indictment, I carried you." https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-new...court-30995392
