Apparently Democrats in Congress are trying to break the law and have the Trump trial televised.

At least we know you don’t really care about laws. Since you don’t seem to mind what your worship did.

Apparently etely Democrats in Congress are trying to break the law and have the Trump trial televised.

Hasn't Donnie said he wants it to be televised?

At least when he's pandering before the cameras. And then his lawyers tell the judge something completely different.

I'd ejaculate so hard it would knock down a wall if he gets remanded for this




(he won't)

LMAO

Seems like a lawyer must have finally called him and told him why this was an extremely bad idea.

Lol. It wasn't even a statement from trump. It was a statement from trump's spokesperson.

Now that's how you write a headline.

For once, Rudy said something that is actually plausible.

Dumps lawyer says West Virginia is a better location than dc because it’s diverse

it’s not.

ams now he’s attacking the judge on social media.

Absolutely telling how Trump's lawyer is busy influencing the national concensus (and potentially poisoning the jury pool well) instead of telling his client to shut the hell up.

Anyone who thinks trump was/is a good "businessman" doesn't know the first thing about business, or finance, or actual entrepreneurship, or anything at all related. The only thing trump understood about "business" is that it does often take money to make money, and since he inherited a lot of money, he had the means to play in the game. Couple that with the fact that the tax and banking regulations favor people who are in trump's position of inherited wealth and that is why he has been able to perpetuate his grifting for parts of five decades now.

I want to believe that 40 or 50 years ago this kind of abject stupidity was not so commonplace, but maybe I am idealizing a former reality that never quite existed. No matter how corruct or criminal Nixon was (he was lots of one and at least a little of the other) he was not stupid or unqualified (other than the corruption/criminality) to serve as president or in any other of the elected offices he held. trump on the other hand is not only the most corrupt and criminal person to have ever held the office of POTUS, he was one of the least effective and worst performing ones we have ever had. Yet 70,000,000 million voters think he is d am n near Jesus.

On another note, how far are we away from him performing some stigmata stunt. I thought about that after listening to him drone on about being persecuted for all of us! What if Jesus came back like that indeed...

Kevin Conway, a former office in the United States Army wrote in the Dispatch about the kind of choice trump would have been asking of our military in 2020, and might still ask of them if he was to be elected again:

Generals would be forced to choose whether to abandon an unbroken tradition of American military obedience to civilian control, or turn their guns on civilians to facilitate a losing candidate remaining in the White House beyond Inauguration Day.

The foreseeable consequences of Clark, Eastman, and Trump’s criminal plot would have been profound for the military and the nation. I suspect the generals would have reluctantly chosen the first of the two bad options they faced.

We're lucky that it didn't come to it because I wonder if the author of that opinion piece is correct.

Our military (much like law enforcement) is becoming more and more populated by authoratarian types who live and die by what someone like trump says. I'm still somewhat confident (but less and less with each passing year) that the senior advisors and commanders in the military (enlisted and in the officer corps) feel more or less beholden to the constitution as most of us here would see it. I doubt those kinds of people would choose to turn their weapons on civilians protesting a stolen election (I mean one that is really stolen, like trump would do, not one that wasn't stolen, like the one Biden won). I'm not sure of the ones who are moving through their careers now though, the E-4s and 5s or O-3s, those deciding on whether or not to make the military their career for 30 years or more.

God help us if we ever have to find out because we're not going to be talking about George Floyd level protests. We'll be talking about factions of our military waging war on other factions of it. And that would almost certainly trigger something far worse and what our descendents would refer to (providing our species survives) as World War Three.

Trump is good at business if the only criteria is to enrich himself at the expense of anyone else. Yes his finances are a paper tiger and hopefully his run of avoiding legal scrutiny will soon come to an end.
