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.

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.

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

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
― beamish13, Monday, 7 August 2023 01:48 (eight months ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Monday, 7 August 2023 01:50 (eight months ago) link
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.

I came across this thread and found it a pretty compelling encapsulation of rightwing/reactionary rhetoric:
I'm stuck waiting on someone, so a quick 🧵I've been meaning to write, pulling together a few strands.In his book The School for Dictators, Ignazio Silone famously called fascism "a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place."

Kind of funny how there's been and still is so much effort spent reporting and guessing when and where Trump will be indicted next, when each time he's been, like, "I will be indicted today at 5pm!"
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 7 August 2023 15:44 (eight months ago) link
This sure is a pretty unique defense strategy:
Attorney John Eastman, an architect of Donald Trump’s last-ditch efforts to subvert the 2020 election, is asking a California judge to postpone disbarment proceedings lodged against him, saying he’s increasingly concerned he’s about to be criminally charged by special counsel Jack Smith.

“WOW, it’s finally happened! Liddle’ Mike Pence, a man who was about to be ousted as Governor Indiana until I came along and made him V.P., has gone to the Dark Side,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday.
“I never told a newly emboldened (not based on his 2% poll numbers!) Pence to put me above the Constitution, or that Mike was ‘too honest.’ He’s delusional, and now he wants to show he’s a tough guy,” Trump added, denying information that was contained in the indictment. “I once read a major magazine article on Mike. It said he was not a very good person. I was surprised, but the article was right. Sad!”

That Atlantic article was interesting... I didn't realize just how dishonest CNN was until Trump pointed out that they had deliberately misspelled "Liddle" by taking out the "hyphen" just to make him look dumb: To show you how dishonest the LameStream Media is, I used the word Liddle’, not Liddle, in discribing Corrupt Congressman Liddle’ Adam Schiff. Low ratings @CNN purposely took the hyphen out and said I spelled the word wrong."
