Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

[Axaday]

Stooge said last night that losers are talking about how he didn't make good on his promise to make Mexico pay for "a piece of the wall". He said, "You remember, I used to say, ‘Mexico will pay for the piece of the wall.’” Is this 1984?

CNN dug up this gem just for clarity's sake:

“We will build the wall, believe me. And who is going to pay for the wall?” Trump asked in a March 2016 rally speech in Michigan; after the crowd shouted “Mexico,” Trump said, “100%, folks. One hundred – I don’t mean like…99.2%, I mean 100%.” He scoffed at “lightweights” who said he couldn’t get Mexico to pay for the wall, repeating, “I said 100% – not 99%. I said 100%.”

Ironbite-New York ain't playing around here.

Can the county clerk where Mar-A-Lago is change its property tax valuation from $18million to $1.5billion and send him a back bill for last year?

His disconnect from reality is getting more extreme:

'We won every state': Trump ramps up his 2020 US election lies against Biden ahead of New York court appearance

Despite losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden by more than seven million votes, Donald Trump tells a Republican summit near Orlando that he would have won every state if not for widespread voter fraud.

EDIT: Okay, so he was talking about the primary and I guess that means he was just repeating the same lies instead of even wilder ones.

BTW, in case you were wondering how well Trump's fraud trial has been going?

Trump lawyer Alina Habba objects to her own documents in courtroom stumble

Donald Trump's lawyers spent Wednesday morning objecting to the Attorney General's Office asking to enter several documents into evidence -- but one of them was their own.As witness Ivanka Trump took the stand, prosecutors asked her several questions about conversations she had or emails she...

Ironbite-great so far!

 

[Ungnome]

Well he burned through all the somewhat competent lawyers willing to represent him, so I'm not surprised.

FB friend:

Why are all the news headlines "Trump lashes out during testimony" instead of "Trump ignores rules and commits numerous acts of contempt of court"?

I am really tired of the way the media constantly tries to help Trump.

Trump supporters when I call them inbred morons: "Mature adults don't engage in name-calling".

Trump supporters when Trump comes up with a new insulting nickname for a Democrat: "Brilliant gambit, Your Majesty".

How to make $3 million for doing nothing.

Step 1: Lie to the banks and say your house is worth $10 million.
Step 2: Start a business with a $5 million loan.
Step 3: Run the business into the ground by paying yourself a huge salary of $3 million for doing nothing.
Step 4: Declare corporate bankruptcy.
Step 5: Work out a deal with the banks to pay only 30 cents on the dollar for your business loans.
Step 6: Shutter the business.

Does this sound insane? According to Donald Trump, this is what makes a genius businessman.

They can't quit him. Also, just setting aside Trump, that any journalist would do this with an active politician is repugnant. If journalism in the United States was a healthy, respectable career others in the field would (figuratively) tar and feather these people.

Access is a hell of a drug

So basically this.

In a sane world, this alone should be grounds to disqualify the fucker from running:

Trump Says 'Genie Out Of The Box' To Justify Prosecuting Rivals If He’s Elected

While facing 91 federal and state charges, Trump said the next president could retaliate by seeking indictments against political foes.

Sadly, we diverged from the 'sane' timeline somewhere back around Y2K.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

One theory I've seen says the divergence happened during the Cold War. Based on our track record with weapons, any logical timeline ended with mutually assured destruction. But we're still here, so we must not be in a logical timeline.

 

[Tuxedo Prime]

Summer 1998, that's my hypothesis and I'm sticking to it.

Granted, I have only anectodal evidence, but... over the past couple of years, I have been getting intrusive glimpses of the other track, even if I have no idea who should have chosen differently, how we could have chosen differently, or whether this was was a "you could make no mistakes and still lose" scenario.

 

[Axaday]

He actually said in a speech that now if he becomes President again and someone runs against him, he can get them prosecuted and the crowd loved. There is no evidence that anyone in the room knew that if he became President again it would be his final term and no one would be running against him.

 

[Wheelimus]

Oh I have no doubt that his first thing to do in office will be to start the movement of that amendment to the curb. So we can have his dream match - Trump vs Obama. lol

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Maybe we'll get lucky and his terrible health will catch up with him first. The courts don't seem willing to just lock him up despite his constant and blatant verbal attacks.

 

[Pale Rider]

I'm convinced that Trump has quantum immortality.
