LOL at "Sig Ruman."

Once again he's trying to personally profit from someone else's sacrifice; if he really thinks Kyle is going to be Michael-Corleone-in-the-bathroom without 950 Secret Service agents keeping eyes on him every millisecond he needs more help than we realize.

I had to Google Sig Ruman, and did not leave disappointed.

I also looked this up. It not only shows his ignorance but his age that the name should be rolling around in his head at all. And, of course, Kyle, like all gun owners, knows exactly the make and model he's groping for.

Grim but fair. Unfortunately the way things are headed Trump isn’t going to need to shoot his way back into the White House, the hand-picked GOP state electors will simply usher him back in. Having insurrectionists storm the Capitol was showy but ineffective, electoral coups are the new hotness, baby.

Word.

But this is the collapse one gets in a de facto one party state. If only the opposition party had been anywhere as strong as the dominant party the past 30+ years...

If only they had any evidence over the years that their good friends across the aisle were actually malevolent and not acting in good faith!

"Not that I mind. Personally? Very glad they’re dead. "

That 'Personally' is the essence of the guy. Could (should) be left unsaid, because everyone knows that it's always personal to him – everything. But he says it anyway, because everything's always about him inside his own personal head and he always wants everyone to know and acknowledge and evermore concede that It. Is. Always. About. Him.

Gotta be me, but I found this sickening. I mean, way too credible in a way. All the sickness on display...

That's nothing new -- I imagine that DJT had a hug stand-in for both of the sons their entire lives.

I mean the whole Goodfellas-like implications of Trump banning Pence from the WH in wrath -- but then sending a car to "pick up" Pence to take him to the Senate to certify the election (a peace offering?). But then Chuck Grassley announcing ahead of time he'd be certifying the election "in case something happened to Pence."

“Sig Ruman” - we can always count on you, Roy, to perfectly mimic Trump’s boundless ignorance. Anyway, say this happened and a tape of it happened to be sent to Merrick Garland with a signed affidavit of authenticity, the question I want to ask is: would Garland act before the 2022 election, after, or never?

I think he'd have to let them run the plan out to completion to increase his chances of getting a conviction.

Perhaps Garland would send an engraved invitation requesting his presence at a grand jury hearing, say, oh, sometime next fall? But not before Labor Day, because everyone’s so busy during the summer, and then there’s the congressional picnic and softball game to attend, and of course we can’t skip the big Institutions Will Save Us conference in November. All the good career DC people will be there. So, maybe not 2022. What’s your 2023 schedule look like?

Ooh, can't wait for Institutions Will Save Us! I hear Rachel Maddow is going to be the keynote speaker, she's going to explain how this latest court case involving Trump is THE ONE that's going to FINALLY finish him off. I never get tired of that shit. Oh, Rachel, read me some court transcripts!

Kyle would see how good a deal Joe would make for Trump.He caught on pretty fast to the concept of his share of the money.

"But that man said he was a white supremacist, which he meant as an insult"

LMAO - as opposed to white supremacist as an honorific.

With Truimp's love of superlatives, you know he's got to love "supremacist", the "white" is just the cherry on top.

I'm sure if Joe gets a chance at a sit-down with this kid he can make him see reason. Just look at how successful he's been with Kristen Sinema.

You had me at Trump dressed like Miami Jackie Gleason. (That's some outfit!)

I think this could work. If they can hide a pistol at the WH then they could probably also arrange for Biden to be presented with a gift from, say, Eagle Scouts of Irvine, just before Rittenhouse shows. Kyle asks to see it, and when Biden picks up this big-ass skateboard Kyle does his thing. Photos show it's clearly self-defense, just like last time.

It's sick, and perhaps I have too much faith in too many of my fellow-citizens, but there's a bit of me that wishes D.J.T. would try for something like this, because I think it would tip _some_ people into understanding him—and Rittenhouse very much a kid and—I presume—very much {afraid of}/{otherwise obsessed with} being raped by black prisoners would if live-captured likely sing like Lily Pons.

Simultaneously disappointed and admiring of Our Host's not slipping in Trump's trying to remember if there are any two-piece toilets in the White House, and whether that special tape really exists, though the latter doesn't really matter in this case.

Note: one of the two stand-out segments of "The President Show" was Anthony Atomanuik's Trump sitting-down with a bunch of States-evidenced Mafia guys, especially 0.) their 'we could tell you stories about your father' and 1.) their disgust of the infama of Trump's feelings toward his daughter. (The other was a segment on what life would have been like for Donny-from-Queens if he hadn't been born rich.)
