it's not my intention to write about Trump's trial every day — it might get boring fast. but as long as Trump's trial keeps making news, I can't ignore it
Seriously, Jeff, you can write about anything you choose, repeatedly. There’s something so delightful and refreshing about your point of view. Honestly, it’s helping all of us get through this shitstorm.
Absolutely! I mean, typically I give zero fucks about any of these assholes Jeff writes about, but once he writes about them, the more fucks the merrier!!!
After all of the bullshit and threats the tangerine turd has spewed, he should already be in jail. Most people would've been locked up for similar behavior. Since he has already spent over $50 million in campaign donations on legal fees, he probably uses these toxic rants as a funding mechanism from his very naive base.
Just keep telling it like it is. I think it, sometimes I even say it, but nobody really pays any attention to me and my 10 followers. If you stop drawing attention to how insane he is, people assume this is all fine, normal even. This has been going on since the campaign for 2016. And not just from trump, but the entire GOP. Look at all the shit that has happened recently. #BeetlejuiceBoobies #McCarthyFlushed #TrumpGagged #DebateDebacles1&2 #HouseDikPikDisplay And things are about to get worse. Keep shaming the main stream media for normalizing this chaos.
Jeff, please! You have to keep my man! If you miss one second of this “fuckface’s” trickery, you, and subsequently WE will be soooo far behind what he’s doing for Putin!
As a psychologist for 43 years, I’m planning on Donald decompensating beyond everything we’ve already seen during this next year of court trials. He’s a deluded, weak, boring, ignorant, mindless monster that the Republicans have been propping up since the beginning. He will not be able to track and comprehend all the complications and ramifications of each case. This repugnant orange zit has long convinced himself that he’s a strategic genius, but he’s up against a wall now and all his blithering won’t save him
The CIA and DOJ have the ability to prevent a narcissistic collapse....just lock the man up for making such threats and silence him. But the ywont do it.
He is grooming a future wave of lunatics to engage in civil war
Yeah, I responded with something along these lines either here or on someone else’s Substack; that Donald is not so much the worry now but his followers are. They are as crazy as he is and much better armed and they are scattered all around the country. They can start a thousand little fires and law enforcement can get overwhelmed quickly. I sincerely fear for what LDFF has begun.
I only made it 40 years till burn-out and retirement, and saw a lot of people with diagnosable personality disorders during that time. I’m not surprised that the fraud trial, more than any of the other trials, is fueling his decompensation; he’s always been afraid people will find out he’s a failure. I also wonder if his decompensation is what’s making him appear more demented. On a lighter note, when I read that some magats want him to be the next speaker I had a lovely fantasy that the Rs from districts Biden won all suddenly have emergencies and miss the vote, throwing it to Jeffries. Now, back to reality!
And for what? Firing their own leader? This makes no sense at all. These fools just came back from their supper break. 6 weeks! Now, after a few days they have to have another week off to figure out who’s going to be their leader?
Man, did we ever screw the pooch in midterms! Allowing this bunch to get control was a HUGE mistake!
180 days! These clowns don’t work that! Hell, they’ve been in the Hill since January. What have they accomplished? Nothing! Absolutely nothing. And to hear them yell it, they have passed all these Climate, Budget, Infrastructure, and all these other bills that the Democrats actually passed the first two years, WITHOUT the first Republican members vote, in either chamber of Congress! And these Republicans are openly bragging that THEY are the ones passing all this since January!
“Noted political strategist “. 😂😂😂😂Jeff, my dear man, you keep on writing. I love your observations. The more trump talks, the more obvious it becomes that he belongs in lockdown for the criminally insane.
If I understand correctly the gag order established by Judge Engoron is the first actual court ordered gag order directly placed on Trump.
I am fairly sure this constitutes something called a "precedent" which, again if I understand matters correctly, can be used by other judges as they encounter situations that call for a gag order.
Hopefully this one gag order will become the first in a long series of other gag orders from other judges with each one delineating different new boundaries with which to confine Trump's ability to speak in the manner he does.
We all know the only real way this ends is with him sitting in a jail cell for contempt of court where he will not have any means available to him to carry out his stochastic campaign against Democracy.
Agree 100%. Unless this judge actually puts his ass in jail to back up the gag order - which trump believes doesn’t apply to him - this is fun and games for trump. That’s how we got where we are today.
“I paid back the money in full, one hundred percent. there were no defaults, there were no letters of reprimand, the banks were extremely happy...”. Gosh, they were so happy that they refused to lend you any more money. So thrilled, in fact, that you can’t find a single bank official who is willing to back you up, you pathetic clown.
Reminds me of the interview he did after closing in the E. Jean Carroll suit when asked if celebs can touch whomever they want, wherever they want and whenever, too: “Historically that’s true with stars. If you look over the last million years, that’s largely true, unfortunately—or fortunately." Literal last word cost him 5MM. Costly lesson, yet unlearned.
JFC, what a day of whining by two of the biggest babies in politics, McCarthy and Orange Blob. I saw McCarthy lie, lie, lie about the Dem caucus. I heard Blob lie, lie, lie about the court and Tish James. McCarthy got his toy taken away. Blob got a gag order. A ball gag would have a better choice.
Yes...we cannot forget Matt Gaetz! Two things can be equally true (especially with this band of MAGA/GQP): McCarthy could not govern and had to go AND Matt Gaetz is a living, breathing perverted scuzzball who should have been thrown out of Congress a long time ago!
It's delightful and terrifying at the same time watching these MAGA morons who've been strutting around like kings since 2016 (or before) feeding on each other and coming apart at the seams. The GQP and the "conservative" angertainment networks need to be burnt to the ground and buried. Then dug up, doused in gasoline and burnt again. Then the ashes need to be launched into orbit and crash into the sun.
😂🤣seriously! Keep his mouth shut? He hasn’t kept his mouth shut or his social media fingers to himself even with the stern warnings/orders given by other justices. Why would he now?
The good judge needs to man up and throw his ass in Rikers for a day or two. They can place him in a two-man cell, with a secret service agent as a cellie. That will wake his white yankee ass up...
I wasn’t thinking about a 2 man with his SSA. I was thinking about a 2 man with the biggest dumbest looking/acting convict in the prison. Let him spend a couple monkey nights in the cell with that guy and he’ll be begging to change his tune, and get these trucks started, and over!
He gets fend face down in the bed sheets a couple times, propped up on his knees, and pile driven in the backside, he’ll come around to our way of thinking!
There’s ZERO chance that the Cheeto-hued baboon can go a DAY without spewing lies, idiocy and incitements to violence on his flea-bitten “unTruth Social”. At least until their cloud provider turns out the lights for non-payment - which, let’s face it, is a classic tRump move.
He will keep running his mouth until he pays a price for it, then claim he’s a victim. I hope that price involves handcuffs because I’m so fucking sick of air accordion. It’s like he has to play that thing to keep his balance and stand upright. By the way, I appreciate that you cover this every day since
Today's report struck me as funnier than usual -- might have been my mood but it was great! Seeing Trump all pissed off, venting and whining and powerless to stop what's happening to him just makes me happy!
I think my favorite part was about the disclaimer he said he put in his financial statements telling the banks "don’t even bother reading them". Priceless!!! Too bad the judge can't just take this as an official admission of guilt... would save everyone a lot of time and court officials a lot of doxxing.
So no, it hasn't gotten at all old and boring yet... :)
I don't think Judge Engoron went far enough. He should've just told Donald Trump that he was citing him for direct criminal contempt of court for that outrageous and mendacious post about his "law clerk." That woman is no doubt an accomplished lawyer, and what Trump did what is contumacious. He did it in open court directly in front of the judge, and therefore committed criminal contempt of court. Criminal contempt is a common law crime. It matters not a tinker's dam that the judge is presiding over a civil proceeding. The judge should've popped him right between the eyes at the very moment it happened.
He should've said "Mr. Trump, I don't know where are you think you are, but it's not one of your rallies, it's not your office or living room. It's my courtroom. I hearby cite you for direct criminal contempt of court and order you to appear at 5:00 PM today in my courtroom to answer to charges that I will prefer against you by 3:00 PM. Bring two things with you to that proceeding, Mr. Trump, a criminal lawyer to represent you in that, and your toothbrush. I am empowered to punish criminal contempt summarily, but I evidently need to consult with your Secret Service detail to see where they will spend the night while they are protecting you in the event that I convict you of criminal contempt and send you to jail."
"Oh, and by the way, Mr. Trump, your lawyers had best be listening too; just in case you were thinking that my statements demonstrate unfairness in dealing with you, such that I can be disqualified, no litigant may provoke a judge into disqualification. I call it the "son of a bitch" rule. You can't stand up in open court and call the judge a son of a bitch and then use that as a basis to have him disqualified. Any such claim is nonsense would bring the entire judicial system to a halt.
Fuck that OrangeToadShitStainLyingDoucheForBrainsIgnorantTwat who should be behind bars for violating a fucking gag order .. how the F can he get away with it when the average criminal would be sitting in a cell until trial and throughout trial.. sack o’ shit MFKR.. I used all my adjectives for the next hour... 🤬

I think it's the profanity!! 😁
Absolutely! I mean, typically I give zero fucks about any of these assholes Jeff writes about, but once he writes about them, the more fucks the merrier!!!
Saves us having to watch the fucking circus.
Please continue-you will likely be writing about it for months!!! He can’t keep his mouth shut!
Yes Jeff please carry on and write about any fucking thing you want!
And especially a deluxe edition if he ever gets thrown in jail! I will look forward to that!
After all of the bullshit and threats the tangerine turd has spewed, he should already be in jail. Most people would've been locked up for similar behavior. Since he has already spent over $50 million in campaign donations on legal fees, he probably uses these toxic rants as a funding mechanism from his very naive base.
From you I can stand it. Not boring btw - far from it.

HE LEFT AT LUNCH TIME BECAUSE JUDGE GAG HIM, THAANK GOD.
Not enough.
PLEASE write about Trump’s trial as much as you want! It’s gotten to the point where the only place I want to get my news is from Uncle Jeff!

Thom Hartmann wrote a thing on 'narcissistic collapse' that's both informative and scary as shit https://hartmannreport.com/p/will-america-face-narcissistic-collapse-cef
The CIA and DOJ have the ability to prevent a narcissistic collapse....just lock the man up for making such threats and silence him. But the ywont do it.
He is grooming a future wave of lunatics to engage in civil war
Hartmann’s piece is excellent-scary as shit-but excellent.
This is fucking scary. From the very beginning we were warned about this scenario. And here we are....
Just read! Scary is an understatement.
Yeah, I responded with something along these lines either here or on someone else’s Substack; that Donald is not so much the worry now but his followers are. They are as crazy as he is and much better armed and they are scattered all around the country. They can start a thousand little fires and law enforcement can get overwhelmed quickly.

Yeah, that's fucking terrifying.
Definitely worth the read, thank you!

He is boring. Sometimes stupidity can be funny but it’s way too much stupid for that to happen.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 well said.
Is anyone else really pissed off that all the House members are getting a week off with pay? 🤨
And for what? Firing their own leader? This makes no sense at all. These fools just came back from their supper break. 6 weeks! Now, after a few days they have to have another week off to figure out who’s going to be their leader?
Man, did we ever screw the pooch in midterms! Allowing this bunch to get control was a HUGE mistake!
I wish I had a job where I worked like 180 days a year for 10x what most people make.
180 days! These clowns don’t work that! Hell, they’ve been in the Hill since January. What have they accomplished? Nothing! Absolutely nothing.

And the health bennies for LIFE…
Yes.

Don’t forget Matt Gaetz, the child molester/trafficker!
He requires a very sharp drywall knife.
But if it's a little rough and rusty that's good too.
Yes...we cannot forget Matt Gaetz! Two things can be equally true (especially with this band of MAGA/GQP): McCarthy could not govern and had to go AND Matt Gaetz is a living, breathing perverted scuzzball who should have been thrown out of Congress a long time ago!
And in jail! He should also have been indicted for his part in the January 6th attempted coup.
He is:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/08/01/us/politics/trump-jan-6-indictment-2020-election-annotated.html
This is the Jack Smith indictment on Trump, and the conspirators. Gaetz isn’t named in this.
Once again must say a carefully applied cream pie would do it for me.
As long as it has sulfuric acid in it, I’m game! Let’s fix one up first the 🍓💩🤡!
Prussic acid, make it a double.
That’s even better!
It's delightful and terrifying at the same time watching these MAGA morons who've been strutting around like kings since 2016 (or before) feeding on each other and coming apart at the seams. The GQP and the "conservative" angertainment networks need to be burnt to the ground and buried. Then dug up, doused in gasoline and burnt again. Then the ashes need to be launched into orbit and crash into the sun.
Great post Chris I like how you think!!🙌🏽
Me, too! I like the visuals!🔥🌅
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 YES!
Does ANYONE actually think he will actually keep his mouth closed despite the gag order? Not me! ☹
😂🤣seriously! Keep his mouth shut? He hasn’t kept his mouth shut or his social media fingers to himself even with the stern warnings/orders given by other justices. Why would he now?

Maybe not, but if he’s out where he should have been out in the first place, he’ll not spew a damn thing! Except his lunch, maybe.
He will keep running his mouth until he pays a price for it, then claim he’s a victim. I hope that price involves handcuffs because I’m so fucking sick of air accordion. It’s like he has to play that thing to keep his balance and stand upright. By the way, I appreciate that you cover this every day since
it’s not televised.
"Air accordion" and that little index finger. The constant whining tone.
All so adorable.
Apparently.
To someone.

Fascinating Thom Hartmann article on ‘Narcissistic Collapse’
Bottom line, the internet and digital communication became tools for a madman to collect and influence other madmen.
Donald Trump should lose the privilege of free speech. Period.
Hopefully he actually had consequences for his blatant disregard of the legal process, like EVERYONE else would.
*has
