That was ...chilling.

Nicely done!

I would swear Waltine Nauta was one of Blondell Wayne Tatum's associates in a Carl Hiasson book.

Indicting Natua to get him to flip would be pretty standard practice for the Feds. With a stick that big you don't need the carrot.

Some of you may remember a bit Chris Rock did years ago about Michael Jackson possibly going to prison for child molestation, saying it would be a sad day when Jackson’s hair started to grow out gray and nappy, when he “didn’t have the Crayola people to do his face” anymore.

That’s what I want to see with Trump. I want the jumpsuit to be orange, not the spray tan. I want to see him pasty and without the yellow hair dye and lacquer, without the male shapewear supporting and reining in his girth. Do I think this will happen? No. But I can dream.

Boxes, ballrooms and bathrooms, jinga-linga

Hear Walt Nauta sing, singa-linga

I knew Florida was full of dangerous wildlife like alligators, crocodiles, boa constrictors, Florida Men, Nazis and Trump, but I didn’t know until this morning they have bears, too. Anyway, I’ll never understand the attraction Trump holds for people. He speaks like an angry, hoarse 4th grader, looks like an old, tired drag queen, and lacks loyalty to anyone but himself and Ivanka. The idea that this inarticulate fatso could physically threaten someone is hilarious. The way I was raised, if he tried to intimidate me, I’d laugh in his face (quasi-pacifist, yes; silent victim, no). Just another reason not to respect these MAGA fascists.

The cringe from this former Federal records manager.

Banker's boxes--they should be in standard FRC boxes. No box lists, so no idea what's actually in them. Not temperature and humidity controlled area. Anyone up to and including Marc Mayhem (what I call the Allstate man) can see them vs "eyes only." Multiple violations of the Federal Records Act, not just the Presidential Records Act. This is "send the Archivist of the United States on a five-day bender" territory.

(An aside but the automatic assumption by White people that all Pacific Islanders know each other is, to this Black observer, distressingly familiar.)

Sooo... Prosecutor is experienced with this stuff. Defendant is using the classic mobster defense that has limited success, mostly when it’s an open and shut case.

So if this can be tried before October 2024...

Interesting times and all that.
