Junior’s statement was just wow. I’m gonna go onto a limb here and opine that maybe he isn’t some sort of substance abuser but just some sort of imbecile sucking up to his rich daddy.
Meanwhile, some credit to FPOTUS for showing that an exception to the rule that our betters are above the law is possible.
And as ever, great to see more and more pressure on Donnie. Got the antisemitic dog whistle, waiting for the racist one. Or, you know, maybe I missed it.
Full disclosure: schadenfreude is one of my jams so no matter how this plays out, I’m enjoying it.
They’re just little fascist buffoons who’ve convinced some more powerful buffoons — like the Republican establishment and the editors of the New York Times — to kiss their asses. And, for the moment, everyone can see it.
That moment will, I fear, be fleeting. And a whole lot of "everyone" is blind.
Well, gotta admit I never expected this. Now we will see. My expectations for the system are pretty low, and I figure that mostly they busted Trump because he is so tacky (kind of like Nixon) and he is incapable of saying ooops, made a little mistake there let me pay a fine and we will all get along with our lives. But we won't really know until the indictments have been unsealed I guess.
I liked the headline “Former ‘Apprentice’ Star Who Also Spent Time as President Indicted.” Of course none of the cries from Republican toadies cite the facts or the law, it’s all pounding the table, as the old legal mantra explains. Meanwhile, running replays of all those “lock her up” chants makes a nice backdrop to the present “don’t dare touch him” whining.
The guy has to deal with the indignity of a trial because he just wanted a one night stand with a blonde with gargantuan boobies. And that entertainment cost him $130,000 b/c he knows the art of the best deals like nobody can believe.
And now he has to pay a lot more since his financial transactions had to be illegal 34 times.
This is the most expensive PoA in history and after what he did to hundreds of thousands of Americans during the most dangerous times of covid means he should at least be banned from playing golf ever again because he cheats at every score.
I don't care if any of the charges are prosecutable as a felony or if he gets off on a technicality or if the DA is the "Jew-funded" biased Democrat the wingnuts say he is. I just want to hear over and over about the sleazebag who paid hundreds of thousands to a porn star and a Playboy model to shut them up about his banging them while his wife was home nursing his newborn son. It's even better when they say the sleazebag didn't commit any crimes when his lawyer went to prison for the very crimes they say the sleazebag didn't commit. His MAGA losers may eat this shit up but normal people just keep hearing about a fucking sleazebag.
Here's hoping the Georgia prosecution is even more entertaining.
"Oh, he may well get off; he’s rich and connected and you never know what a jury will do."
All true, but since Tubby is employing the worst attorneys in the Western Hemisphere, I think the chances of him getting rung up are surprisingly good.
"his loss in 2020... simply allows them to worship him as President without him having to pretend to give a shit about governing the country that he and they hate."
The is profound and true, and needs to be said more often. And because I'm all about Helping America, I'd like to propose an alternate-reality TV series where Donald Trump gets to play at being President while owning multiple libs in every episode, because all the libs he encounters are tongue-tied, incompetent boobs. Worked for liberals during the Bush years, we can just give the title a tweak, call it The Right Wing.
"...he’ll have to show up and behave himself just like anyone else."
I love the prospect of this so much that I almost don't care if he's convicted (I said "almost.") He will have to sit in a room while OTHER people talk, and not be allowed to open his own pie-hole and make the mouth-sounds whenever the fuck he wants, and for him that's got to be a daily 8 hour appointment sitting in the dentists chair.
On the front page of this Morning's Baltimore Sun" "TrumpIndicted" a photo of people cheering. OK they were Orioles fans in a bar, but seeing both at the same time was satisfying.
The GOP are cowards and Trump proved that. He ground them into little subservient dogs who bark a lot but not much of anything else. Whether there's any organization or energy left to do anything independent of the Trump org is doubtful.
And now that Trump himself will be occupied with the day-to-day of these unexpected and yet easy-enough-to-prove felonies there's a good possibility Fox et.al. will follow him down the rabbit hole on falsified document law for the next 6 months. The rest of the Fascist movement hopefully stagnates. Some of them will shriek for violence but a lot will get stuck in reddit threads debating amendments to subsections of the New York State criminal code that carve out exemptions for white collar criminals to lie freely.
One aspect of this I haven't seen pointed out is the emboldening effect it could have on other possible indictments, such as the Georgia election and classified documents cases. Any prosecutor going after Trump no longer has to worry about being the first to cross the Rubicon: Bragg has already cast the die.
If I was awake when I did the previous comment, I woulda/shoulda had this *possibly* rhetorical question: Would a few indictments be enough for our exceptional free press to finally declare Trump unfit for office?
Trump keeps trying his legacy to varnish
Yet these niggling details all tarnish
A coupla bad deals
With bimbos in heels
And Boom! An orange jumpsuit for garnish!

All Trump really wants is the #1 rated reality TV show. It's good he has this to keep himself occupied.
Fuckalmighty am I sick of his shit though.
