Wake when we get to the part where Trump saunters down the grand staircase in a bejeweled turban screaming something about being ready for his close-up.

ANY chance he's detained in some way? Or given a gag order with some actual TEETH...Like "shut up or go to jail' kind of teeth?

Coupla thought regarding what Cheeto actually ‘knew’ or ‘truly believed’:

What he ‘knew’ for an absolute fact, well in advance of Election Day, was that regardless of the outcome he was going to claim victory and refuse to leave (per Bannon, on tape). Hell, he even told Hillary that was his gameplan in 2016 - ‘maybe’ not conceding losing results.

What he ‘truly believed’ about the election results is irrelevant to the crime he committed. He truly had the mens rea to try & overturn them by any means necessary, and did just that.

TV lawyers keep using a bank robbery analogy but I see it more like Cheeto murdering his neighbors, then his lawyers whine, “But he truly believed they were Lizard People!” as a defense.

there isn't a judge in the country ... including judge cannon ... who would allow a witness/defendant go off the rails with testimony like that...

He's going to have subpoena power. He's going to cross-examine witnesses. He's going to put his own witnesses. He's going to go out and prove or try to prove there was election fraud in Philly, Vegas, Arizona, Detroit. And the federal government is going to have to prove that it was clean in those deep blue counties.

Uh, Tiny Hands and his third-rate legal advisors have already traveled those very paths -- and lost, resoundingly in every case. Thanks for reminding us.

> "It's going to give Donald Trump the opportunity to relitigate the 2020 election in federal court."

Why? Does he have evidence now that he's been waiting almost three years to show us? Go ahead, Donnie, show us evidence. Hahahaha

Imagine, at his age, still fighting the world who knows he's a laughingstock. What a sad little man. (And a fine Republican, naturally.)

"YOU"RE ALL GOING TO BE SORRY WHEN MY DADDY GETS THROUGH WITH YOU!"

That's what they are all selling now, including the orange shitstain: "Wait until I'm president again, I'm going to FUCK UP everybody who has crossed me!"

This kind of talk produces lots of little MAGA boners.

It's like the Jesus meme. "Let me in so I won't be forced to do to you what I'm going to do to you if you don't let me in."

Confident threats are the RWNJs' stock in trade. And the more outlandish and full of shit those threats are, the more confidently they're made.

Remember Steve Bannon blustering that his contempt of Congress charge would be "the misdemeanor from hell" for Nancy Pelosi etc. because he was going to subpoena all of them? Now he's that guy who makes everyone wonder why he hasn't been sentenced and jailed yet.

He was, and then he was pardoned.

He's been convicted and sentenced again since then, but for some inexplicable reason is allowed to stay out pending appeal.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm starting to get exhausted with all this bullshit. I just want the damned trial to start. but it's going to be another year at least of stress, isn't it? AND next year is an election year. Sigh. Time to dial back on the YouTube pundits and start pacing myself.
