Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

Dick pics Trump sent Stormy

the pee tape

i'm hearing it's confirmed it's the tape we've been waiting for

If it’s what I think it is I love it!

I don’t know what I think it is, I’ve just wanted to use that one for a while.

34 counts, reportedly?

maybe fake news?

lol, CNN headline

Haberman: Trump advisers in 'something of shock'
• The notable legal clouds that continue to hang over Trump in 2023

CNN reporting "more than 30" xp

But do we know if he’s increasingly isolated?

"These Thugs" - dog whistle for the racists, coming in loud & clear

I’m very surprised he isn’t using his reinstated Twitter account tonight.

oh man lol he shd do it for the good of the nation

A week ago a video circulated of a lunatic harassing a family on a New York subway. He hurled racial slurs (the family was white) and threatened them. Alvin Bragg thinks that man should walk free and Donald Trump should go to jail for a fake misdemeanor. It’s despicable.

(The family was white)

gonna be in NYC next week, kind of tempted by the circus...

as long as there's a crime happening somewhere in New York City, it needs to take higher priority than anything done by the ex-president

the dumbest possible take

"The law applies to everyone equally" no it doesn't! It never has! This is a terrible time to try to change that!

If we're going to start applying the law to everyone equally can we please start with Wall St CEOs or, like, reduce the crack/cocaine sentencing disparity?

lol that thread is so bad

how about we start with Donald Trump and then move on to all that

thats a big who cares from me, also just clearly not gonna happen

"It's not frivolous bullshit, he broke the law" but in a really stupid way though, does anyone really feel like paying a porn star to shut up with campaign funds is a serious offense? Serious enough to open the door for Republican DAs to indict Obama for anything they can find?

— Laura Jedeed (@LauraJedeed) March 30, 2023

Remember, if they can belatedly indict The Crime Guy for one of his many, many obvious and highly public crimes, they could do the same thing to you.

— David Roth (@david_j_roth) March 30, 2023

look its been hinted at above but my understanding is that the actual crime would be more of a misdemeanor and is past the statute of limitations anyway, so the fact that he's being indicted on 34 counts hints there's a bit more going on here

yeah why dont we wait and see what hes charged with before deciding if its bullshit

but yea the Republican response to this has been pathetic and incredibly dumb given that A) nobody knows what's in the indictment and B) he's almost certain to face several more indictments for much more serious crimes

I don't blame Republicans for their response, tbh, they're doing exactly what they have to do politically.

Centrists and supposed libs like the TNR contributor there are just fucking morons.

that Jedeed thread is impressive in its idiocy

"but if we arrest mobsters, they might retaliate!"

Gallows humor aside, this indictment is a disaster obviously. I'm in shock they actually went forward with this

Ah, Matt. On the wrong side of every argument for as long as I can remember.

He must feel very proud when he looks upon the long stream of replies by absolute morons, schmucks, shitheads, bigots, racists, homophobes, gun-fuckers, toadies, wannabe-henchmen, power-worshippers and cowards who agree with him that people who are powerful and have money shouldn't be investigated or punished for crimes.

What a dope

If presidents think they will be chased into jail under thin pretexts as ex-presidents, they’ll try even harder to never leave office. This is how autocracies are born. https://t.co/HGM1rAbHA3

republicans have already tried to criminalize rival politicians. it was trump who led the chants of "lock her up," it was republicans who led the sham benghazi hearings.

even harder

Lolol

They had two years to indict Trump before he became the presumptive Republican nominee.

He's off limits until the election is over. If the charges are that strong they can indict then if he loses.

— Dave Explains (@DaveExplainsWhy) March 31, 2023

Man, you can just rob a bank on Monday, declare you're running for President on Tuesday and book, you're immune!

The costa thing about there being unreported evidence might be relate for this which broke a couple hours before the indictment and got lost in the shuffle as a result

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/30/politics/karen-mcdougal-trump-grand-jury/index.html

nice of so many prominent Republican lawmakers and journalists to offer their hot takes before they even know what's in the indictment

If presidents think they will be chased into jail under thin pretexts as ex-presidents, they’ll try even harder to never leave office.

Hopefully we'll never find out what it's like to have a defeated President try hard not to leave office

lol

if we arrest the GOP, they might start doing things to subvert democracy and disenfranchise voters!

This take is literally "We can't prosecute Trump because then Presidents will act like Trump."

this take is literally "Hi I'm Matt Taibbi give me money and i'll say what u want"

it's been a Stormy week for Donald Trump haha

it really does set a chilling precedent for people who have spent their entire adult lives defrauding the universe

i wonder what @daveexplains thinks when he hears people making fun of mansplainers who say actually too much. it guess it either makes dave bitterly angry or it just doesn't register at all

republicans have already tried to criminalize rival politicians. it was trump who led the chants of "lock her up," it was republicans who led the sham benghazi hearings.

― treeship

yeah...i don't want to look one up and i definitely don't want to make it up, but a handy rebuttal would just be a 4 hour long compilation of all the times trump and his dipshit fans have chanted "lock her up". nothing else, just that

but of course rebutting or responding at all is playing exactly into their horrible game

Didn't someone on Fox recently claim the "lock her up" chant was just a joke or some other BS? True bully asshole excuse, "come on, I was just kidding, lighten up ... "
