Trump's Troubles

We've all gotta admit - the show is hilarious. Sad, maybe, that the consequences are real and the stakes so high, but....what can one do?

We've all probably read about the fall of Rome. This all seems pretty similar. Also seems somewhat similar to Alcibiades and the history of Athens. At least we get to watch it all happen.

 

So " the Trump Amendment" to the constitution that effectively puts him above the law. That sounds just lovely.

 

Which can be read; "Vlad, definitely don't even think about releasing that guy before the election."

(were that possible, who knows. But that's the message.)

 

Well he might be on to something with his bud Putin. I seem to recall Iran delaying the release of hostages until after Reagan was elected because they hated Carter lecturing them on human rights so much. I believe we tossed in some money also.

 

We'd effectively be turning the Presidency into a get out of jail free reality contest. Come one come all with legal troubles - win the election and all your crimes are forgiven...forever. Feel free to keep committing crimes after you leave office as well.

Disgusting

HaHaHa, at the Libertarian National Convention :

A guy just made a motion at the Libertarian National Convention for “Donald Trump to go f* himself” and the crowd all applauded. Trump is scheduled to speak tomorrow.

Some in the crowd began to chant Screw (diff word) Donald trump. He should have an interesting speech there tomorrow unless his bone spurs prevent his attendance.
If I link the Ron Filipkowski tweet with the video imma get banned.

 

Further update: more funny. Laura Loomer may have an aneurism. Kazoos and squeaky rubber chicken Noisemakers provided by RFK supporters.

 

Libertarians ain’t buying don’s shtick. Getting boo’d out of the place. I have seldom enjoyed a trump speech as thoroughly as I did this one. Give a promotion to the guy that scheduled this.

 

This is a trainwreck for Trump.

 

"Team Trump is up to its old tricks again and falsely claiming a lackluster rally in the Bronx on Thursday drew a crowd of 25,000 supporters. This estimate comically contradicts on-the-ground reports, the NYPD, aerial views, and the laws of physics."

"But reality is no match for the notoriously anti-factual Trump and his supporters, who have been obsessed with lying about his crowd size since the 2017 inauguration—and have become the living embodiment of the Nazi-era propaganda tactic of “Repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth.”

MAGA Idiots Fail to Spin Away Embarrassing Fact on Trump Bronx Rally

One thing Trump has been brutally consistent about is out and out lying about the size of things.

Cue Stormy Daniels:

 

What a shit show that Libertarian convention speech was for Trump.

Trump views campaigning like marketing and it’s effective. Doesn’t require accuracy just commitment to the message.

 

From another thread:

 

Authoritarianism expert explains why libertarian boos mean the end for Trump's campaign. Actually, I think Trump's ego will be fine, as he dismisses and insult the libertarians, but he probably cannot win without their vote, and some of his followers might have second thoughts about Trump's inability to woo one of the smarter parts of the republican party. And he does not know how to win the vote of people through intellectual arguments. So ends the dictatorship dream.

Trump spent the weekend freaking out on Truth Social about his NY trial. Possibly facing consequences for something is too much for him to bear.

My favorite part was him bitching about the prosecution getting the final word during closing statements. Like he's ever cared before about the deck being stacked against criminal defendants.
