It is as if Cheetoh asshat thinks everyone crimes all day long the way he and his family and boys' billionaires club do.

“She’s very guilty of something. Many experts are saying so. Guilty of things they can’t even believe. They’ve never seen so much guilt. I’m not sure what she’s guilty of, I’m not following the case, and I had no role in forcing the DOJ to find something to charge her with. But she’s guilty, everyone knows that. And the ballroom is unbelievable. Came together very nicely. Many people are saying it’s the nicest patio in the world. They said no president could do the patio, but I did it. I was able to build patio.”

The definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome. We don't need an impeachment. What we really need is a competency hearing in family court. Followed by assignment to a mental institution for being a danger to self or others.

This is a disgraceful time in our already troubled democratic experiment. Trump is obviously ordering Blondie and Martin and his goons to go after his perceived enemies for the crime of pursuing charges on all the actual crimes he was committing. Because not only is everything projection with the guy and his posse, but he is such a corrupt liar that he thinks everyone is, and this is all how it works. His toxicity is why conservatives decided Joe Biden, a pretty moderate and well-liked member of Congress and former VP was literally a communist, Marxist, socialist crime boss who was guilty of SO many things, too many to be specific, and was SO good at crime that it was impossible to pin anything on the man. Ask them what Biden actually did wrong, and they will either say “Hunter,” “economy” or gigglesnort something like “ha! what didn’t he do?!” He got older, and he pardoned Hunter to protect him from unfair persecution by the Trump DOJ. Given what we’ve seen in the past 9 months, his decision was prescient and sound.

But Trump hasn’t simply ordered Biden, HRC, Leticia James, Adam Schiff and all the other 60% of America who despise him arrested and locked up pending fake charges. Why he hasn’t is anyone’s guess. He must hate that he needs any pretense at all. He’s Lord and King, and that’s all that matters. Why not jail his opposition, they pose a threat to national security, after all. Dissent is treason.

A few judges are still doing what they can to stop the collapse of civilization and prevent Trump’s baseless revenge tour, but they are barely plugging the holes in the dam with chewing gum right now. If these dimwits were less incompetent, we’d be in even more trouble.

It baffles me how he gets everybody to be so stupid for him. I've never met him in person (thank God!), so I don't know what sort of personality he projects.

All these lawyers have had difficult clients before. All these lawyers have had clients yelling at them to put this and that in the filings to show they mean business, etc.

They handle them. They take everything relevant and boil it down into bog standard legalese that looks and sounds like every other piece of bog standard legalese filed with the courts.

With Chump, he yells, "You put in there that I'm the most loved President that ever lived and the American people love me more than any other President and the Commie New York Times can't be unfair to me."

And they put it in the filing. Word for word.

And it's the lawyer who has to stand up there in court and get their ass handed to them.

Two questions, how much visible damage to America and public outrage will it take before a few Republicans turn against trump and if trump is ousted will MAGA and Republicans in Congress give Vance the devotion that they give trump?

I am convinced a lot of it is that these remoras want to tap into the power he has over the cultists and be in his favor. But like every gnat that thinks they're the world's smartest one that will totally win, they all get defeated by the bug zapper in the end.

It’s surprising, I agree, but never underestimate the number of ambitious opportunists out there who lean right and want to make a name for themselves. Not only that, and that’s plenty for many of them, they may be cutting contingent fee deals with him to take a third or so in cases where literally billions are being sought. It’s all a shakedown, of course. But even a $10 or $15 million nuisance settlement can make a lawfirm’s year, if they actually collect a few million in fees for very little work. But it’s not without some risk. They can be chastised, as this judge just did. Or, in extreme cases, they can face sanctions or even disciplinary action, like that idiot Habba did when she acted rudely and incompetently in court defending Trump, unsuccessfully.

Trump is a chronic filer of frivolous suits, and more judges need to hold Trump and his attorneys accountable for it. But with proximity to the power of the potus and potentially 7 figure payouts, there will always be thirsty lawyers lining up to do his bidding.

And he has the resources of the US Gov't behind him ... he doesn't give a shit what it costs to drag his enemies through the courts. We pay, they pay; he doesn't pay a dime.

Probably part of the problem is these assholes don't know what real lawyers look like. And Letitia James is a real lawyer. That's part of the reason she is one of the few people with a W against the pricktator.

No lawyer who values their bar license, that is. Ask Alene Habba.

I'm still on tenterhooks waiting for PAB to fire Patel and Bongino and nominate Bailey for US AG. That could very easily ruin what's left of my life, so it will probably happen some time before my second trial next year.

Really hoping for the best for you. Hope is all we can have in this shithole nation.

"having a hard time making any of his made-up charges stick to anybody"

There are a few reasons why, IMO:

* Judges are getting tired of wasting court time on charges where the only evidence has been fabricated out of whole cloth.

* Judges are getting tired of wasting court time on charges brought for no other reason than vengeance against an enemy (read: anyone who disagrees) of the Fulvous Fuckwad.

* Judges are getting tired of wasting court time on filings of unmitigated hubris and bovine scat included as key issues:

> "A US federal judge on Friday threw out a $15 billion defamation lawsuit filed by US President Donald Trump [sic] against the New York Times due to the language in the complaint constituting a "decidedly improper and impermissible" effort to attack political adversaries.

[...]

US District Judge Steven Merryday ruled that Trump's [sic] lawsuit was too long at 85 pages, and was full of "tedious and burdensome" language that had no bearing on the legal merits of the complaint.

"A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally," Merryday wrote.

[...]

Trump's [sic] lawsuit included statements lauding his business successes and "singular brilliance," while claiming articles and books, for example, covering his role on the Apprentice reality show, and the value of his real estate deals, were inaccurate.

The complaint said the defendants, which include Penguin Random House and Times reporters, "baselessly hate" Trump [sic] in a "deranged way."

It also, tangential from the main complaint, said the newspaper was "deranged" for endorsing Democrat Kamala Harris for president." https://www.dw.com/en/us-judge-tosses-trumps-15-billion-new-york-times-lawsuit/a-74071067 [NB: Merryday is a Bush41 appointee]

Judge Merryday had more to say on the rather uninformative court filing from the Fulvous Fuckwad's lawyers:

> "Judge Merryday, in a blistering four-page ruling, said he was throwing out the suit because it "unmistakably and inexcusably" violates the rules that govern civil lawsuits.

[...]

"A complaint is a short, plain, direct statement of allegations of fact sufficient to create a facially plausible claim for relief and sufficient to permit the formulation of an informed response," he wrote.

[...]

the complaint contains eighty pages of repetitive claims and praise for President Trump [sic], but fails to establish the two counts of defamation alleged. He lambasted Trump's [sic] lawyers for forcing him to "labor through" the "superfluous" praise about Trump's [sic] show "The Apprentice," as well as the size of his real estate empire and the "historic fashion" of Trump's 2024 presidential victory." https://abcnews.go.com/US/judge-tosses-trumps-15b-defamation-suit-new-york/story?id=125739539

"She should’ve called the cops on them for peeping!"

Peeping? Fuck, no. The neighbor should have dropped a dime to the cops that people were ***stalking*** Ms James.

"Speaking of, a judge just tossed President Sensitive’s $15 beeelyon dollar lawsuit against the New York Times, on account of aggravated “rambled for multiple pages and forgot to say why suing.”"
