Judicial Watch are just grifters

news you can use

DoJ isn't fucking around

BREAKING: DoJ has filed a motion for a PROTECTIVE ORDER in the trump coup case based on Donald’s social media posts. DoJ argues that improper dissemination of evidence could have a chilling effect on witnesses. I believe they’ll be granted this motion. pic.twitter.com/kBoJjk1shL

about fucking time

A dozen Trump supporters approached Mike Pence’s vehicle as he entered his Friday event yelling, “that’s a traitor,” “you’re a sellout,” and “why didn’t you uphold the constitution?” 
 
“I upheld the constitution,” Pence shouted back.
 
As they badgered him he yelled, “Read it!” pic.twitter.com/gKpeB2mntO

Meanwhile, what were assholes like Pence thinking? For years he defended Trump, or avoided criticizing Trump. He dragged his feet when asked to give testimony about Trump or be formally interviewed about Trump. He put up with all sorts of affronts to his purported morality, at the cost of his credibility and, in some cases, literally putting his life at risk. And this is all in service of a guy that despises him, and his supporters, who also despise him. And then, years later, he finally takes a turn for the minimally righteous, and no one gives a shit. All that stalling, all that shallow stoicism and sophistry, was in service of nothing, and he will go down in history as a footnote, disliked by the majority of both sides, having gotten nothing in return. It would be downright Job-like had it not all been self-inflicted and totally avoidable from the start.

Judicial Watch is a highly-evolved grift.

lmao of course they don't know how things work.

Here's the thing, though: they really do. They just pretend not to in order to gin up outrage and, hence, donations. They also pretend to be a watchdog group when they are, in fact, right-wing attack dogs.

It seems like they do a lot of filing legal requests and lawsuits that probably waste a considerable amount of time for various states and counties?

Absolutely. They abuse the legal system.

I actually kinda recommend signing up for their mailing list, just to see all the crazy shit they say/do/claim to have done.

TY Jordan, whoa what a thing that is. Their amicus briefs must read differently to their newsletters...

Damn now I'm wondering-- how many have they filed, and has one of them has ever been cited approvingly, anywhere?

Trump team tried to extend the deadline to respond to the protective order to Thursday and the judge said gtfo

The prosecution's counter to their counter was pretty funny, and familiar to any parent. Basically, "if you spent more time doing your homework than you did complaining about doing your homework, then you'd be done already."

loving this

heard part of the reason trump's lawyers wanted a delay is so they could appear on every sunday morning show that would have them

Meanwhile, what were assholes like Pence thinking?

over the last 40 years countless people have tried to harness trump's fame, or money, or following, for their own benefit. all the lawyers/contractors/financial partners/political parties thought they could use him rather than being used by him, and they've almost all been wrong. pence is just one of them

two who *have* gotten away with using him are the saudis and rupert murdoch, because they're much richer and care even less about their 'reputations' than he does

doin good brother

in HELL

Elevator sitcom pitch: Trump dies and goes to Hell, where he discovers Nancy Pelosi is literally the devil ... and also his new boss. Trump will play himself.

Stable AND a genius, this one.

I'm not scared, you're scared. And will live in hell.

wait isn't this hell

I wasn't "scared."

i wouldn't mind a wicked witch partner leading me from hell tbqh

Remember when he was musing about Chuck'n'Nancy being his new friends?

Pelosi is a sincerely devout Catholic, so I'm sure a large number of the rabid evangelicals who inhabit Truth Social will agree about Nancy going to HELL.

On Saturday, Chutkan gave Trump's team until 5 p.m. ET on Monday to respond to prosecutors' request for a protective order. The order would prevent the former president and his legal team from sharing discovery materials with the public. Trump's attorneys asked for more time to prepare their response, which Chutkan swiftly denied.

"THERE IS NO WAY I CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL WITH THE JUDGE 'ASSIGNED' TO THE REDICULOUS FREEDOM OF SPEECH/FAIR ELECTIONS CASE. EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS, AND SO DOES SHE," Trump wrote on his social media site Truth Social Sunday morning.

Definately rediculous

This psycho shit is exactly why they’ve gotten trounced in nearly every election since 2016 so keep it up 👍

REDONKULOUS

Trump (like Musk and plenty of other ludicrously entitled rich dudes) just utterly refuses to accept that any rules ever apply to him. And he’s usually maddeningly right. But judges tend to be very much not amused by that kind of shit.

weird guy, seems like he’s losing it

lmao this is so deranged pic.twitter.com/Sg5BO8YTrL

lot of hell stuff recently

Since asserting free speech as a defense to planning and executing a coup is a non-starter, maybe he’s going for a religious liberty defense? Coup plotting = his religion.

the moment in 2020 where I started to feel like Trump was probably gonna lose was right after that first debate when Trump came off as incredibly rude and obnoxious, just shouting over everything and not actually answering a single question. even the Republican voters who were surveyed about it said he was acting like a caged animal. feels like 2024 is gonna be much worse, dealing not only with 3-4 indictments in different states (or more!) but also the rigor of the campaign, he's gonna totally lose his mind

he's not gonna debate in 2024, especially if he's in jail

Hopefully this is finally his 'Col. Rhodes screaming at the undead to CHOKE ON 'EM as he's devoured' moment.

Wait, Joe Biden can cause a women's soccer team to lose a game?

Maybe that octogenarian has more powers than previously thought.

Which is it: is he ineffectual or an evil mastermind?

Like, can he tank my stocks or destroy my job and change the score of a sports game or is he a doddering fool who doesn't even know what year it is? Make up your goddamn mind.

Believe it or not, right wing assholes are REALLY pissed off at the team because certain members supposedly weren’t singing along with the worthless National Anthem

its funny the things they think youre supposed to do for the anthem, put your hand over your heart, sing along, which are not actually the thing youre supposed to do, stand up

in addition to standing and singing along with your hand over your heart, you're supposed to cry ecstatic tears of joy when you get to the line about how "the flag was still there". then at the big finish about "land of the freeeeeeeee and the home --- of the ---- brave" you should pull out your concealed handgun and shoot off several rounds into the air, or at any liberals who failed to show proper respect. at least that's how I was taught to do it in my elementary school.

most important you have to yell play ball after

always good to sing as loud as you can for a couple minutes before an hour and a half of running

hilarious the right trying to blame the loss on "wokeness" as though they weren't woke when they won the World Cup twice

Liberals are weak and get nothing done but also they are omniscient puppet masters.

Liberals are stupid but they also easily stole an election.

Democrats go to college to get more knowledge
Republicans go to Jupiter to get more stupider

how mean a thing to say!
