If there are two things that Von Shitzinpantz knows how to do, it's grift and project.

Melania Trump laughs at Donald during Barron's graduation

Jude Juan Merchan announced that Trump could attend his son's graduation last month.

"Hahaha! Orange tvat stuck at towerink son's graduations instead uff speechink at dum-dums!"

(Disclaimer: I've never heard Melania speak, but I assume she sounds like Natasha from Rocky & Bullwinkle.)

 

[wonko the sane?]

Oh wow, he actually went? Here I was hoping he would go exclusively to the speaking thing also scheduled for today, and that someone would bring it up as perjury to merchon.

How many times has he accused Biden of doing exactly this?

or Obama? or Hillary?

I think his position is generally that what goes around comes around. He whines that he's being persecuted, but he also wears it as a badge and says that now that they've opened up the can, it is just going to be how things are done.

 

[KidTDragon]

Or maybe every accusation Trump makes is a confession.

Or maybe every accusation Trump makes is a confession.

It's both.

I'm really not sure how dumb Trump is. I know he isn't smart like you and me. But I often think that he knows a lot of the stuff he says isn't true. Other times I think he doesn't know what is true and actually doesn't even believe in truth and thinks the truth is just whatever story is able to persist.

He is definitely looking forward to weaponizing the justice department. But he might get impeached for it. What a world.

Trump Classified Documents: More Materials Found Even After Mar-A-Lago Search

“No excuse is provided as to how the former president could miss the classified-marked documents found in his own bedroom at Mar-a-Lago,” Judge Beryl Howell wrote.

How many documents have to be found before Cannon can be replaced with a real judge?

 

[wonko the sane?]

How many have to be found for trump to be treated like literally everyone else who has ever violated the espionage act?

Not enough yet, for either of them.

guarantee using this precise terminology will get him MORE votes rather than less.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Anyone who would've been won over by that was already gonna vote for him anyway.

Trump hush money trial enters new phase after defense rests without testimony from former president

Donald Trump’s hush money trial has moved into a new phase, drawing closer to the moment when the jury will begin deciding his fate.

apnews.com

In summary: The defense's last witness was a disaster for them. Closing arguments take place next week. And to everyone's surprise, Trump did not take the stand like he repeatedly said he would. I wonder what stopped him. Bone spurs, most likely.

 

[wonko the sane?]

I honestly can't wait to see how the trials gets fucked up.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

He'll get another fine that he'll tie up in appeals and never actually pay, while also crying about it to milk more money from the cult. Business as usual.

I don't think you appreciate how difficult bone spurs have made his life.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

No, I can totally appreciate how, like most of his problems, it was made up to dodge responsibility and preserve his own privilege while he whines about it like a baby-handed bitch.

No moderates in The Party.

They fall in line every. single. time.

 

[KidTDragon]

This is as much of a surprise as the ship sinking at the end of Titanic.

 

[abates]

She's probably angling for VP. Might be a tricky sell, given Trump can't tell the difference between her and Nancy Pelosi.

 

[Pocket]

Not to mention two other women who are gunning for the job have a pretty big head start on kissing up to him, and are doing it with a lot more enthusiasm than just mentioning they're planning to vote for him. Yeah, you and half the country, back of the line, lady.

Incidentally, given the likelihood that his running mate will be a woman, someone should probably tell Trump that having a female vice president does not entitle him to sex with her.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Trump has said repeatedly that she's not in the running for VP. Yeah I know, but since the whole idea of her becoming VP was FOX fanfiction to begin with, I believe him on this one. She just wants to remain in the party's good graces, and right now Trump is the party.
