Donald Trump: Classic or Dud?

oh yes the J6 case, such a dizzying array of cases I'm still getting them crossed occasionally!

as well as write an apology letter to its citizens

ha, that's like something you would have a fourth-grader do after the start a small grass fire

She's gonna leave the courtroom and say "Trump wo-" before getting flattened by a guy pushing a catering cart in the hallway

Biggest problem with making a plea deal in exchange for her testimony is that she's done so much flagrant lying in front of so many cameras that attacking her credibility will be child's play.

Yeah, the apology letter thing is bizarre...

She should have to hand deliver it to every Georgia voter.

xxp

isn't it more important how it plays to the jury? after all Trump elevated this conspiracy theory minded Qanon extremist into a prominent position in his legal team, so doesn't it sort of enhance the narrative of crackerjack cranks attempting to illegally reverse election results? I don't know tbh. She was present and actively involved in pivotal moments of the conspiracy and oddly I think she could end up being quite a credible witness. Fani Willis seems formidable.

they should make all of those idiots stand outside Georgia malls wearing sandwich board signs that read *I tried to take over the country and deny you your rights as citizens also check out the great deals at Forever 21*. 12 hours a day every day for 12 years.

Yeah, the apology letter thing is bizarre...

humiliating tho

Does this have to be written in the form of an actual letter, like starting with "Dearest Georgians" and ending with "warmest regards" or "yours in service"?

Scott OTM

Dearest Georgians,

I apologize that you could not see the things that I saw. I assumed that when I shared the completely obvious evidence of malfeasance with you, that you would react in kind and take back your country. In retrospect, I probably should have expected less from you. After all, you voted for Joe Biden. Or so they tell you.

Valete Krakene,

Sidney

The judge presiding over Donald Trump’s $250 million civil fraud trial in New York raised the possibility on Friday of putting the former president in prison after Trump failed to comply with a partial gag order requiring him to remove a post trashing the judge's law clerk on social media.

Judge Arthur Engoron said in court on Friday morning that Trump had posted on his social media account "an untrue and disparaging post about my clerk" and that he spoke to the former president about the matter.

"I ordered him to remove the post immediately and he said he did take it down," Engoron said.

god imagine the day he goes to prison and right-wing pizza companies offer special Trump pies to help raise money to donate for his bail

I'm visualizing no bail terms, personally

"i'm in jail"

"we know"

"bail me out"

"there's no bail"

"huh?"

"there's no bail"

"right but you can pay for me to leave jail right now"

"no that's bail"

"so do that"

"there's no bail"

"what are you talking about they do it on tv all the time"

"yes and I also enjoyed that episode of Law and Order but you don't get bail"

"I totally understand bail"

"no, you aren't offered bail"

"I don't care, I'm taking it anyway"

"that's not how it works"

"Get me out now"

"We've been through this"

"I pay your salary, find a way"

"actually you haven't paid si--"

"you're fired"

"ok. you're still in jail. good day."

Trump probably wouldn't want to leave prison--surrounded by adoring Nazis

as well as write an apology letter to its citizens

ha, that's like something you would have a fourth-grader do after the start a small grass fire

restorative justice in action

It's predictable that he was going push it with the gag order, but attacking the judge's staff again is really pushing it. I suspect he might want do some performative prison time, it will be a great boost for his fundraising.

ugh even that will ruin the celebration

"HA HA, YOUR CANDIDATE'S IN JAIL"

"jokes on you, he's playing 7D chess, what a headfake that you fell for"

Gettin' prison tats, makin' raisin wine. Asking Melania to put some money in his commissary account, lifting weights in the yard.

A comforting fantasy, and comforting fantasies are about all I have going for me right now

if he lifted weights he'd probably go into cardiac arrest

given his views on exercise at least

I suspect he might want do some performative prison time, it will be a great boost for his fundraising.

only if he can get it reduced to a couple weeks of just hanging around Mar-a-Lago. the man's never lived a day in discomfort in his life I'm sure he doesn't actually want to go to jail

I suspect he might want do some performative prison time, it will be a great boost for his fundraising

Biden is way outraising Trump lately, based on what I've read

Going to jail for a post is the definition of a real poster

sentenced to 51 years

(I wish)

sentenced to 51 years

No, that was Bean Dad

naw lots of people have for making threats

fraud, etc

frogs you even posted a thread about one in your early days!

oh just noticed he hadn't done it again, it was the failure to delete the og post and it was still up on his campaign site for several weeks after the gag order.

Right I mean there are crimes via posting but this is just standard Trumpposting which anyone could do. Not a huge distinction I admit

looks like Chesebro is now also pleading guilty

Here we go:

NEW: Kenneth Chesebro, alleged architect of the “fake electors” plot, has struck a plea deal with prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia, per source familiar with the arrangement. — Anna Bower, Lawfare

And he was in direct communication with Eastman and Clark and types like that. Fun!

bring it

fuck me, this was the guy who was marching with Alex Jones, wearing a maga hat on jan 6th!

excuse me, I've gotta flip this Cheesebro

When one cheese bro falls, they all fall.

Yeah this is kinda amazing -- they were the ones who wanted to force their trials early, got it, and then folded, something that otherwise might not have happened for months if at all. Truly self-owns; let's see what he agreed to give up.

Guys, guys, I'm getting...hopeful?

shhh lol
