Trump and his dirtbag superfans can get behind the preposterous "I can kill anybody anytime I like" arguments his lawyers are advancing because they know that only their hero would be likely to actually do something like send Seal Team 6 to kill his rivals. Decent human beings like Biden would never do such a thing, so Trump & Co. have no worries about the same being done to them.
But wouldn’t it be great if Trump was assassinated 5 minutes after the courts ruled in favor of absolute immunity? It would be the teaching case of legal decisions have consequences forever.
See, when the raspy-voiced attorney for the Combover Caligula argued before the Court of Appeals, he didn't think about the idea that OHJB could do what he says the Tangerine Toddler can do. Because GOPee-ers believe they should be the only one to get away with their shite.
It's for the same reason that they think a person who shows up to be questioned publicly is in contempt, but people who ignored subpoenas like Gym Jordan, Scott Perry and Mark Meadows are not guilty of contempt. It's the world of upside down.
I was bummed about not seeing a flamingo on my recent trip to Florida. There weren't even any plastic yard flamingos. Saw some adorably cute shorebirds though!
I have a variety of good and wholesome reasons, but at core, I want to see Trump and those who vote for him lose. Followed by Trump's swift and long overdue relocation to jail.
I've had a crush on Karine Jean-Pierre ever since she threw herself between Kamala Harris and Manbun McJerkwad, the guy who stormed the stage at a Harris campaign appearance.
Well, FIFTEEN Republican governors are REFUSING to take FREE MONEY from the federal government to pay for school lunches. If the residents of those states really are worried about food prices, why don't they ask their governor about it?
It's because it's easier to blame the guy at the top than a faceless, shifting group of malefactors who take pains to make their complicity in a problem difficult to see. Especially if you don't really follow the news, like most Americans.
On that one, I wish our web of regional alliances didn't prevent Biden from just coming out and saying "because the House of Saud is actively trying to sabotage me, since they know a President Trump won't even make a performative stink about Kashoggi's murder".
The poor judge -- whose home got a BOMB THREAT today from 🎃 supporters -- didn't want to leave anything out there that could be reversed on appeal (because he knows the clowns are gonna try it )
I'm convinced that Engoron desperately wants to do anything to get the appeal to sail through the higher court(s) and affirm everything he did - because he doesn't want this case back on his desk in 10 months.
Lol, control him? The man is like a Terminator of stupid. "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!"
Completely off-topic but it is Covid-19 Variant G.1 season: Former WA firefighter who was fired because of he didn't want to take the jab and then moved to Montana to be a Fire Chief has now been charged as an Insurrectionist. Chief Shithead also sprayed a chemical deterrent on two Capital Police officers. He's fucked and rightfully so.
the fun bit is that he can't control the news cycle with his court appearances like he can with his Hitler rallies (which will also only get crazier as his losses in court pile up.)
I'd be wearing every bit of protective gear if I had to spend time in his vicinity.
He does not know how to operate outside his MAGA circlejerk of yes-men and cult members. He's a dumb, broken, deeply ignorant man enabled by the worst people in the country.
I find it odd that Trump and his lawyers would argue that a sitting President has the authority to kill a political rival without legal jeopardy.
Hey, Donnie, I'm pretty sure Joe Biden knows a guy who knows a guy. Not that Joe would go down that route. But nothing in world guarantees Old Handsome Joe doesn't one day wake up on the wrong side of the bed, misses his morning coffee, and Jill ain't around to stop him, and he makes a phone call.
They are hoping the Supreme Court will craft a decision that will be a one-off, like so: "We hold that Trump is immune from prosecution under the unique circumstances applicable only to Trump and no one else. We are not creating a precedent."
I think it's naive to expect ilthe current conservative majority to follow its own precedent or to be consistent from one decision to the next. Those people have no conscience.
Because they know a Democratic president won't actually make use of a power like that, since if they *were* the kind of person who would do something like that, they'd be a Republican.
Yes, I said- and I will say this, but I will say, and this- I mean this, so you know when I say it you know you can, so you can take that to the bank we love, we love mountain flowers don't we folks? And his heart, I remember this was going, oh boy was it going! And so I said yes, I said you know, I will, and yes.
But they say you can't do this now because they have this thing, it's a terrible- it's called "punk choo ation" they say you can't say thing like that any more but remember folks when you used to speak you could go on for pages pages of there was no anything in there indirect speech thats also oh we love implication dont we folks
We love Joyce theres o hes the best we love- playing with form and internal monologue don't we folks? Multilingual puns I say you keep giving I will keep you know, but then there's Proust. I remember Proust, best to ever do it if you ask me, but there was Woolf and also, and nobody says this but it's true, Bely. Bely. Very simple, very small name, but very great and avantest guard if you ask me, and listen, I love Mayakovsky...

Oh, for fuck's sake.
Where was this douche when Trump was doing a bunch of bullshit carte blanche?
My God, these people are just ridiculous as fuck.
Fuck off, Douchey.
Go suck a floppy fascist dick, guy.

Because they are fascists, period, and everyone really needs to wake up to this reality before it's too late.

Too bad Biden acknowledges some guardrails.

Joyce Vance is asking a great question that everyone who is voting against TFG needs to answer:
https://open.substack.com/pub/joycevance/p/whats-your-motivation-for-keeping?r=ebxy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
Top of the list, and compelling by itself, is my oath to defend the Constitution.
I have a variety of good and wholesome reasons, but at core, I want to see Trump and those who vote for him lose. Followed by Trump's swift and long overdue relocation to jail.
I've had a crush on Karine Jean-Pierre ever since she threw herself between Kamala Harris and Manbun McJerkwad, the guy who stormed the stage at a Harris campaign appearance.
My respect for Jill Biden went way up when that one person stormed the stage Joe was on and went linebacker.
That was an amazing moment.
"Food prices are high. What would you say to people who are worried about food prices?"
Steal if you must. Beg if you can. If you have $50, spend it at a salvage grocer. Out-of-date food is often half the price of fresh food.
Well, FIFTEEN Republican governors are REFUSING to take FREE MONEY from the federal government to pay for school lunches. If the residents of those states really are worried about food prices, why don't they ask their governor about it?
Most people don't really understand how our government functions.
Frightening, isn't it?
https://twitter.com/DeanObeidallah/status/1727307298698416556?t=RVgLpvDmxecTpBBUUxuDWA&s=19
Either that or "I'm not the president of food prices, the fuck do you want me to do about it? Yell at Congress about it, for all the good that'll do."
It's corporate price gouging, period. I don't know what the drooling 'Murican public fails to understand about that.
Because the media is owned by the same oligarchs that own the grocery stores.
Whole Foods is owned by The Washington Post newspaper? No way!
It's because it's easier to blame the guy at the top than a faceless, shifting group of malefactors who take pains to make their complicity in a problem difficult to see. Especially if you don't really follow the news, like most Americans.

Thanks Dark Brandon
Even less in Houston. That’s where they make it.
On that one, I wish our web of regional alliances didn't prevent Biden from just coming out and saying "because the House of Saud is actively trying to sabotage me, since they know a President Trump won't even make a performative stink about Kashoggi's murder".
How did Trump come to be speaking in court today? I thought the judge had nixed that idea.
The poor judge -- whose home got a BOMB THREAT today from 🎃 supporters -- didn't want to leave anything out there that could be reversed on appeal (because he knows the clowns are gonna try it )
https://twitter.com/ElieNYC/status/1745503115804103164?t=WwnTcahNaV8HPdtqxb95sw&s=19
The judge said "Fuck it. it's not like he's going to help his situation. And it'll be good for a laugh."
AND it was!
He's developed resistance to the tranquilizer darts...
Said it before, I'll say it again.
3 to the ass, just like any other rino.
Me: "Up the dosage or switch to a more powerful neurotoxin."
I dunno' what changed his mind. Maybe he gave Kise the opportunity to agree to the conditions this morning, even though the deadline had passed?
And even though he ignored the conditions, as would be expected.
Yep. There was no avoiding that though.
He just went ahead and did it.

You know, judge, you can control him, too.
I'm convinced that Engoron desperately wants to do anything to get the appeal to sail through the higher court(s) and affirm everything he did - because he doesn't want this case back on his desk in 10 months.
I think Suzanne Clark said the same
If only.
Trumpazoid White Privilege on parade...
I wonder if he meandered into the old rally favorites - Hillary Clinton, rigged and stollen, etc.
Sharks, pants, staircases...
Toilets, magnets...
Water pressure
He's already done birtherism
Lol, control him? The man is like a Terminator of stupid. "It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!"
"Sally Donner"??
"It's a disgrace, and they should pay me damages. That's the way it should be. They should be paying me damages. This is a disgraceful situation."
LOL, that's not happening.
Objection.
Move to dismiss melodramatic malingering from the defendant.
Bloviating with intent.
Because he couldn't NOT open his big mouth.
I don't think the history of the world has seen anyone like him. It's goddamned ridiculous.

Wow. That guy got hit with the idiot stick more than once.
I suspect he fell on his head attempting to use the pole in a 2 story fire station.
During his closing remarks in court today, Trump said that the disclaimer clause "goes on forever," in one of his many talking points.
The AG's counsel deadpans: "That clause isn't the only thing that goes on forever."
(Laughter in the court.)
https://x.com/KlasfeldReports/status/1721615905732342124?s=20
Today we are all the AG's counsel.
the fun bit is that he can't control the news cycle with his court appearances like he can with his Hitler rallies (which will also only get crazier as his losses in court pile up.)
I'd be wearing every bit of protective gear if I had to spend time in his vicinity.
Public ridicule is one of PAB's biggest fears.
Let's do it more
MUCH more.
and every autocrat/narcissist (po-tay-to/po-tah-to) for that matter.
Let's do some more https://marytrump.substack.com/p/breaking-engoron-destroys-donald
The funny part is that he really doesn’t seem to understand that he already lost the case, and this whole thing is about damages.
Abject denial consumes him. He simply cannot and will not accept that he is a loser.
Too bad
https://marytrump.substack.com/p/breaking-engoron-destroys-donald
belligerence won't help him this time and that's the only move he's got.
He does not know how to operate outside his MAGA circlejerk of yes-men and cult members. He's a dumb, broken, deeply ignorant man enabled by the worst people in the country.
HerBops ("I am 𝘵𝘰𝘰 a lawyer!") doesn't seem to get it either
He truly doesn't.
You know you're losing when opposing counsel is making jokes in the court room.
I find it odd that Trump and his lawyers would argue that a sitting President has the authority to kill a political rival without legal jeopardy.
Hey, Donnie, I'm pretty sure Joe Biden knows a guy who knows a guy. Not that Joe would go down that route. But nothing in world guarantees Old Handsome Joe doesn't one day wake up on the wrong side of the bed, misses his morning coffee, and Jill ain't around to stop him, and he makes a phone call.

And yet, the Republicans keep screaming about the "Biden Crime Family".
I bet Miley would do the job for his country...

Great properties, I got some great properties on a little place we call a-the Way By A-Swann's.
Honestly, whenever PAB starts this shit, just find him in contempt and throw his ass in jail.
But he always gets a pass. It's disgusting.

There’s usually a dedicated cell with an AV connection so the unruly defendant can still see and hear the proceedings.
