Trump's Troubles

Almost certainly not getting paid, but you aren't supposed to put that in your Motion to Withdraw. Down here you use "irreconcilable differences" in your motion. Everyone knows what you mean.

AJ Delgado can be an interesting feed. Trump adviser is Jason Miller. I used to follow her but she irritated too much. Miller is scume and obsessed with Hillary still.

 

This may drive only me crazy. I subscribe to Josh Barro and Ken White's podcast Serious Trouble. I do so reluctantly because Ken is far smarter than I on federal criminal issues and analyzes Trump's issues in a way I have found reliable and fair.

I despise Barro. Despite claiming to be left of center, and throat clearing to that effect, he constantly downplays the Trump risk, and did again in today's episode.

And so, you know, when when Donald Trump was elected president, he didn't lock Hillary Clinton up, even though he said he was going to. And so I'm actually, you know, on a substantive level, I'm not that worried about pre textual prosecutions of Joe Biden, because I actually think they won't work very well. You know, it's plausible that they'll be prosecutions of Hunter Biden, but you know, those are not necessarily pre textual. And to the extent they are, that's going to be a problem for those prosecutions. So I actually, when I look at that I'm I kind of think the system has does have reasonably good safeguards there.

Ken corrects him


Ken White

My reaction to that, Josh, is that when you've seen the system going after Trump, for the most part, you've seen people bending over backwards, to be process oriented and institutional, and follow the rules in a way that you do not often see to this level of of care in criminal prosecutions.

So I don't think it's going to be as secure as secure protection, as you're suggesting.

Why does this drive some of us crazy? Because of Josh's past. The top example



But he keeps it up - no learning from the past. Don't be alarmed - Trump will not act badly - he's just talking.

 

^ Only one thing to do here. May not want to do it. Feel like we owe it to him........

LOCK HIM UP!!

 

From a further contempt hearing this morning. DT's attorney was trying to defend and promote his contumacious postings by saying that he was provoked by various tweets, including this one. So it had to be shown in court while he was sitting there

 

con·tu·ma·cious
/ˌkänto͝oˈmāSHəs/

adjective
ARCHAIC•LAW
adjective: contumacious

1. (especially of a defendant's behavior) stubbornly or willfully disobedient to authority.
   "his refusal to make child support payments was contumacious"

 

Good thread on the contempt hearing. No ruling yet

 

Maybe trump can write a book while in prison. He could call it my struggles. It seems fitting.

 

learn something every day. I've never heard of that word before.

 

That is going to go right over the heads of so many, but very clever

 

I tried it on my really nice but very pro trump neighbors. She said you know he really should. lol

 

It will sell well in it's german translation

 

Yes, but that gives the uneducated a hint. lol

 

This court case seems to really be having a negative effect on OMB.........

Trump delivers pizza to New York City firefighters in campaign stop after day in court

 

I wish this were funny. So hard to satirize reality these days.

 

Rental firefighters.

 

I have no words. Only to say, who's the bigger fool? Trump, or the ones who follow and believe his BS?

 

There is nothing stopping him from testifying, only it would be a really bad idea from a legal standpoint as he is a perjury machine and would be subject to cross examination. Yet his followers will lap this BS up. smdh.

 

First responders have my utmost respect......everyday heroes........

Trump visited the same fire department on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

 

Absolutely, I completely agree. I was making a reference to his fake UAW rally....in a nonunion shop with fake autoworkers....he staged a few months ago at a cost of $20K.
