I guess it makes sense. I hate having to kowtow to bullies though...

Oh, sure, that's what he's getting at, but he doesn't have the vocabulary to say it. So instead he has to sound like a - honestly, I don't know what to compare him to. A small child would have a better sense of how ridiculous this sounds.

No off-the-cuff analogies, even if you are trying to avoid offense by saying “Chinese food”!

They have far higher standards than that.

I'm happy to see these articles that say tfg is about to be pulled into the wheels of Justice and be finely ground -- finally -- but I am really looking forward to daily updates in the form of "T***p's latest meltdown in court."

Trump is entering a "region of consequentiality," from the sound of it. He may be able to throw tantrums and blubber like an angry toddler in the public arena -- that works well for him with many of followers, who clearly can't tell the difference between that and mature, normal behavior, or between fake alpha male blustering and healthier masculinity -- but it doesn't work in court when you're on trial for your freedom.

Funny writing this letter to Garland when he’d be complaining about how unfair Garland was being if he hadn’t appointed a special counsel to avoid all the bias.

Not even a 'Therefore"! I don't think they really went to law school.

I object on the grounds of "no fair" (said no real lawyer ever).

I've been saying for several weeks that Smith is close to an indictment. Every story I've read on the classified docs case these past few weeks, whether it's Smith nailing down testimony that proves that Trump knew he was committing a crime or Trump's lawyers trying to arrange a meeting with Merrick Garland to try to convince him to block a prosecution, it all reeks of "the last things you before a criminal indictment."

BUY. POPCORN.

PAB must have been insufferable as a child. No wonder his father verbally and emotionally abused him and his mother ignored him.

This country.... Jesus fucking christ.

Donald Trump. Ron Desantos. MTG. Boebert. Jim Jordan.

Really? Fucking really? These are the best people you can find? These are the 'leaders' you want in Washington?

People actually VOTED for these swine.

What. The. Fuck??

We're fucking doomed if this is who 50% of this country says they want.

God help us.

Unlike [various Bidens] I am being treated very unfairly. Tacitly admitting that the lack of serious investigations into the Bidens is fair.
