We've got him this time.

Another day, another legal team to assemble. But, hey, what else can you expect when you go on a multi-state crime spree?

Please don’t quote Mueller she wrote please

Is there something wrong with that Mueller person? I don't know who she is, I just picked that one because it summed up the situation.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 12 August 2023 19:53 (eight months ago) link

Is this guy better?

Said Mueller person is one of those very Resistance types. Big Avenatti fan when that was a thing IIRC. So no it's not the news itself, it's that ALL CAPS OMG HERE WE GO vibe.

Ned Raggett, Saturday, 12 August 2023 20:05 (eight months ago) link

Yeah it’s the style not the substance.

Chevy Chase drumming mystery (Boring, Maryland), Saturday, 12 August 2023 20:35 (eight months ago) link

Gotcha. Persona aside, otherwise she's a legit source, right? A lot of these figures, from public health people to legal people, have online personas that irk me - I think I've unfollowed, say, Popehat as many times as I've bought and sold Jeff Buckley's album - but I try to look beyond that to whatever information and context they can provide.

she got a lot of flak for taking a PPP loan for her podcast

I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Saturday, 12 August 2023 20:58 (eight months ago) link

the thread exposing her BS appears to be suspended: https://www.reddit.com/r/behindthebastards/comments/140wrbh/i_figured_something_was_off_about_the_person/

but she lied about a lot of stuff!

symsymsym, Saturday, 12 August 2023 21:20 (eight months ago) link

she lied about the lies she was lying about

henry s, Saturday, 12 August 2023 21:28 (eight months ago) link

jk I have no idea who she is

henry s, Saturday, 12 August 2023 21:29 (eight months ago) link

I hear she wrote "Mueller".

MSW person grifted her underpaid staff and took out PPP loans when podcasts were one of the few pandemic-proof jobs. Then it came out she was stealing valor by misstating her record and also making up details about people she knew dying iirc

mh, Saturday, 12 August 2023 22:52 (eight months ago) link

yeah like lots of other resistance types who got a lot of attention during impeachment and pandemic (i'd add Rebekah Jones to that list) who got addicted to attention and then turned it into grift

I? not I! He! He! HIM! (akm), Saturday, 12 August 2023 23:02 (eight months ago) link

I guess some of that stuff is starting to ring a bell. Why is she followed by so many seemingly legit people then?

Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 13 August 2023 00:54 (eight months ago) link

All those big resistance Twitter people thrived on creating a sense of SOMETHING BIG COMING that felt very cultlike.

Why is she followed by so many seemingly legit people then?

because people don't get around to unfollowing and also most people probably haven't dug into all of that.

Tbf something big *did* often arrive as promised, but those big things just keep piling up, and none of these turds have paid a legal price yet.

Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 13 August 2023 02:52 (eight months ago) link

I heard a rumor that fani willis is planning to use that georgia rico law she is using against young thug in the trump case. So trump would be charged with racketeering.

I heard a rumour that fani willis say you got a broken heart

Everyone on Twitter with a following due to a focus on any specific subject is very likely going to do whatever they can to maintain and drive views/engagement. Always good to keep that in mind.

my sources say the death penalty, for espionage, being considered for trump. i am pro-life and take no pleasure in reporting this.

couldn't ivanka like, work some filial magic, and get some cheep plastic mums on mum?

toenail fungus (Hunt3r), Sunday, 13 August 2023 15:39 (eight months ago) link

Not looking to defend Trump or anything but I doubt he personally is specifically "refusing" to landscape her grave. I'm sure it's just that he doesn't give a shit and never visits or thinks about it and everyone between him and whoever it might be who actually is in charge of landscaping therefore doesn't have to give a shit either.

ehh, he's never done one thing in his life to deserve the benefit of the doubt tho

its not even mowed, at a golf course!

lag∞n, Sunday, 13 August 2023 15:59 (eight months ago) link

Looks like someone's been peeing on it, but tbf, that could be anyone.

Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 13 August 2023 16:02 (eight months ago) link

Look like some vehicle ruts there too.

Chevy Chase drumming mystery (Boring, Maryland), Sunday, 13 August 2023 16:04 (eight months ago) link

as i understand golf the rough is as important a feature as the bunkers and the green so in a sense it's a compliment

mark s, Sunday, 13 August 2023 16:14 (eight months ago) link

Many a golfer at that course has been stymied by the infamous Ivanka trap.

Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 13 August 2023 16:19 (eight months ago) link

the local mink and weasel population are known pee-ers on the grave, it's all natural. grudges.

lol, sorry i was just imagining someone having to say out loud to trump "hey trump, are you going to have your ex-wife's grave cleaned up? it's a mess"

z_tbd, Sunday, 13 August 2023 16:38 (eight months ago) link

I actually had the brief thought that surely at least her children would care about the state of her gravesite until I remembered who her children were

Beautiful Bean Footage Fetishist (Old Lunch), Sunday, 13 August 2023 17:18 (eight months ago) link

Haha I wasn’t giving him the benefit of the doubt at all, just found the framing kinda silly.

“Thanks for personally joining this important property upkeep meeting despite everything else you have going on. Now about the grave sir, should we mow or-“

“NO! NEVER! STOP ASKING”

when yr slightest whims become absolute rule in yr kingdom, it’s hard for me to believe anything but intention in this case.

I dunno, I still like MSW.

Trying so hard to get himself thrown in jail by a Black woman.

Holy shit. He just attacked the Judge AGAIN in D.C., this time with a picture of her. He “reposted” someone elses’ nonsense so he thinks that makes it ok? What a lunatic. pic.twitter.com/atuVnjMCjC

An eagle-eyed Reuters journalist spotted this document -- which lists Trump as the defendant in multiple felony counts -- on the Fulton County, GA, court website.

Fortunately, the reporter downloaded it before it was removed. https://t.co/pmSTM0ehRK pic.twitter.com/1GaDr7QR3a

Anything less than the best is a felony

how many felony cases do you have to pick up before youre pretty much guaranteed to go to prison even if you were once the president
