Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

That's the Trump inner circle's biggest failing, the happy talk.

Captain Sensible to thread

tfw you go home with a dude in his early 80s and he's got documents strewn all over the garage floor, like grow up already.

Yeah but did you see the Corvette

that’s the classic move, he lures you in with the corvette and then he’s got all these boxes

note from a british person: if the independent is reporting it as an exclusive, it's probably not true.

Dear Martha Mae,

We have seen some dark days since the onset of this terrible conflict, but none that has so seared our souls ...

We take no pleasure in reporting that @CrackerBarrel has fallen.

Whoops

!!

Trump lawyer Jim Trusty on @CNN interview just now with @kaitlancollins says charges include:

18 USC "1512"!!

“We weren’t advised of anyone else being indicted.” "I have a theory."

KC: What's your theory?

That picture always makes me think it's Eric Clapton, which is funny.

So if you're Atlanta, working on your own Trump legal shit, do you wait for this to move further along before dropping your own indictment? Do the states coordinate and cooperate for a clean unrolling?

You got me on my knees, Melania

I'm begging darling please

Darling I don't care do you?

Billy Joel shout out

We didn't start the indictment

YES...I keep thinking it's Eric Clapton. So I think, "nah, it's the good Clapton". But he's so cringey you don't wanna think he's the good anything. Alas, this day is for him and he's allowed to be an all-caps guy

orange man down bad

she's on the record as saying her indictment, if it comes, will be between july 11 and september 1. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/24/us/trump-investigation-georgia.html

absolute loser response from desantis. he doesn't want to win.

lol

CNN first reported last week that prosecutors had obtained the audio recording of Trump’s 2021 meeting at his Bedminster, New Jersey, resort, with two people working on the autobiography of Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows as well as aides employed by the former president, including communications specialist Margo Martin.

The transcript of the audio recording suggests that Trump is showing the document he’s discussing to those in the room. Several sources have told CNN the recording captures the sound of paper rustling, as if Trump was waving the document around, though is not clear if it was the actual Iran document.

“Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this,” Trump says at one point, according to the transcript. “This was done by the military and given to me.”

Possible candidate for Mount Rushmore of self-pwn.

Roughly 90 minutes after he found out about his latest travails, Mr. Trump — who was playing disc jockey on his club patio at Mar-a-Lago after his April arraignment — went to the main building at Bedminster for dinner outdoors.

Wearing a red Make America Great Again cap, he again acted as a D.J., according to a person there, using an iPad to play some of his favorites: Elvis, the opera singer Pavarotti and his idol in showmanship, James Brown.

“As president, I could have declassified, but now I can’t,” Trump says, according to the transcript.

heh

How much do we want to bet that Lordy, there are tapes for every single crime committed by this goblin?

This totally wins my case, you know. Except it is like, highly confidential.

DeSantis busy trying to figure out how he can get indicted too. He’s ceding the whole “martyr” space right now.

I guess he could brag about how many laws he’s signed that have been found unconstitutional, that’s kind of like being persecuted by the Biden Crime Family.

"This is secret information. Look, look at this." is some Rick James shit. "See, I never just did things just to do them. Come on, what am I gonna do? Just all of a sudden jump up and wave around secret documents? Come on. I got a little more sense than that...Yeah, I remember jumping up and waving around secret documents.”

“Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this,” Trump says at one point, according to the transcript. “This was done by the military and given to me.”

Legitimately extraordinary

Donald Trump: Classic or Dud or Extraordinary?

Look, look at this." is some Rick James shit.

can't touch this

this sounds like a plotline that was rejected from Arrested Development for being too dumb

DeSantis busy trying to figure out how he can get indicted too.

it's the party platform afaict

The US establishment hated and feared Trump from the start, largely due to the instability he poses to its hegemony. CIA/FBI concocted a bullshit scandal to sink his campaign and presidency, and now are desperately trying to make him ineligible.

lmao remember this is the judge who tried to ruin the case from the start

I wonder why the US establishment could possibly hate this Trump guy so much (xp)

I said I just wanna rule ya
Guess that's why I'm so indicted

lol glenn is so far gone

"US establishment hates Trump because he is a threat to their hegemony" in the running for dumbest take of the century so far.

its kind of true of the gop establishment except they dont hate him they just find him annoying and inconvenient

"If the case is being overseen by the same district and magistrate judges, that means the court likely considered the indictment to be 'related' to the search warrant and intentionally assigned it to those judges," former senior Justice Department national security official Brandon Van Grack told ABC News.

i.e. not that surprising that the case would be assigned to the judge that had already heard preliminary matters

lol remember
