My question, in addition to “how the fuck is Donald Trump not in jail?” is "how the fuck is Donald Trump allowed to run for President?"
I think we've all learned something we never knew ... early lawmakers never bothered to add this kind of restriction into the rules. Perhaps now would be a good time to put laws like this on the books. I don't care if you're Republican or Democrat, if you've been indicted and are facing criminal trials, you cannot run for President. Get your legal shit sorted first and, if you come out smelling like a rose, THEN you can give it a go.
Though I'd be really happy if this were on the books now and in this context, I think I'd prefer convicted/found liable to "indicted." You just know with a law like that, there will be R attorneys general lining up to indict Dems on one sham charge after another.
That was my first thought too. Convicted of a crime, especially a federal crime, absolutely. Any other criminal activity, like fraud or sex offenses, would have to be carefully worded so misdemeanors wouldn’t be included. This should apply to every level of federal government, POTUS and SCOTUS certainly, but also heads of departments and those holding cabinet positions.
BTW, that lunatic Flynn should be called back to active service and court-marshaled.
Even after living through Nixon, Reagan, and W, I never thought things could get this bad. I love my country. My ancestors came here in 1704 to build a new life and I’m proud of that, but I brought up leaving with my son, only to discover that he and my D-I-L have been looking into what a move to Canada would entail.
And here's another frightening detail: I know SEVERAL otherwise kind, intelligent, educated people who STRONGLY support Trump STILL. I don't talk to them about it because there's no point. But it chills me. I actually saw one, a guy who works in my profession and does well, just comment on Facebook that "Trump is the only one who can get us out of this mess now..." 😳 I mean, wtf is he talking about??
Do people think we're just kidding or slinging mud when we call them a cult? It's not. It's a cult. Kind, intelligent, educated people DO NOT think things like, "Trump is the only one who can get us out of this mess now..." Back away from them, slowly.
I know what you mean. But I'm thinking of one now (not the one who made that comment) who is sincerely a lovely man. Like he and his wife took in the neighbor's kids when their parents were doing drugs, even though the neighbors were threatening them. He's a mechanic, and he fixes up cars ands gives them away. And he's really quiet about it. He's sincerely a sweet man. Yet he loves Trump.
It might not seem possible, but I live in a small city that's a blue island surrounded by red, so I can't help knowing a lot of Republicans, and some of them are MAGAites. I and others here are befuddled.
It stopped making sense around 2018. I've tried so hard to understand their mindset, even objectively stepping outside my "bubble of liberal," to do so, and I can't. I've read books. I've watched documentaries. Nothing explains it. It remains a complete mystery how people like the ones you've described find love/solace/representation in a man like Trump. It's like they're background characters in "Groundhog Day" where every morning they've completely forgotten what happened the day before and just relive the same shit over and over, learning some stuff, but then forgetting it again as they sleep.
I understand exactly where you're coming from. My surrogate family for the last 20 years are the kindest and most welcoming people imaginable...but they are ALL MAGAs. They love FFD. I've had to distance myself since 2020, because since then, they all have become more and more unbalanced and hateful. I have no doubt they will vote for him again, and think they are saving the country by doing it. This is in a blue county in a blue state where you would never believe it were you to meet any of these people at a social gathering or get to know them on a perfunctory basis at work...and it scares me to death!!! TFG MUST NOT BE allowed on the 2024 Presidential ballot!
Cult members can do nice things, but no one, absolutely no one who supports Trump is intellegent or kind. Did you point out that these people believe in Dems as running a secret pedophile ring, stop the steal, etc... This is not intelligent thinking and if you can engage in that, you are not intelligent.
Garbage in, garbage out is what coders say about software. These people have been brainwashed listening to “stars” like “The Apprentice trump”, F**ker Carlson, etc. And since their friends think the same way - they’re too deep in doodoo to see their way out. Logic was probably NEVER their strong suit. We need to shut FOX (& OAN, Newsmax etc) DOWN!
I agree. They are certainly lacking critical thinking skills. But I mean intelligent in the sense of functioning successfully in society and professionally. I think about it a lot, just... how? I can almost understand the overt grunting racist white guys who think they deserve things just for being white men, and who feel threatened by social changes. But so many of the others...? I do not get it.
Don't discount the damage the Fox News has done. If that's all these kind, intelligent, educated people ever watch, then that's all they know & believe. Most people want to live in an echo chamber. Education notwithstanding, your MAGA friends are no different.
I know! I had a former Seal tell me; “Trump is the only one who can save the republic”. I can’t even imagine how much hate or how much propaganda it would take to actually believe that. 🤦♀️
Seals and all military are trained to follow orders. If their commanding officers are suggesting Trump will save this country, they're probably going to believe it.
Spot on. It doesn't make sense that the tangerine turd is still allowed to galavant around the country campaigning while spewing his toxic bullshit. Nobody else so shameless with that many felony indictments would be allowed so much leniency and freedom while never shutting the fuck up. He continues to benefit from the enabling two-tier system while most anyone else be would locked up for life.
Also, why can’t the “policy” (or “understanding,” or whatever it is) that a sitting president cannot be indicted be reversed? Can a sitting president strangle a baby in the Oval Office with 20 witnesses present and get away with it? At least until the next election? Senators and representatives are subject to indictments, as we unlucky voters are all too aware, so why are presidents exempt? I have no idea how this kind of reform could be enacted, but it seems like it might be a good idea for the future.
You’d have to have a functioning congress to do this, and sadly, I don’t see this happening for a while as too many Americans only get their news from outlets blaming the Democrats for everything which reinforces (in their small brains) their ridiculously stupid votes for Republicans year after year. (That, and our populace is woefully undereducated and has the attention span of a gnat on steroids.) And Republicans aren’t changing anything. They love the chaos. Other than that, we’re good.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Founding Fathers came from good families. They were land owning white men. Privilege literally means ‘private law’. None of them ever would have been publicly tried and convicted of anything back in the day. Their families would have taken care of it internally.
Hi Jeff, well... who has the odds of the next flipper? Jenna Ellis? John Eastman? Rudy? Inquiring minds want to know.. BTW.. for the people thinking Fanni was conducting a fishing expedition, well, she put that notion to rest...this is not her first rodeo and certainly will not be her last.. Fanni is a patriot pure and simple...just shoot that in my 71 year old veins... Hope all fellow travelers have a wonderful weekend and let’s celebrate the delicious trauma that the “Fuck your Feelings” crowd is going through..I’d drink to that but I’m not allowed to drink anymore😱
I'm going to say it's Jenna. Eastman and Clark are still insisting that their crimes aren't crimes, and Rudy's too drunk to understand just how truly fucked he is
Ugh...I actually feel bad for him in that sense. I don't know but I suspect that alcohol is what has ruined his life. I'm watching it happen to someone I know, and it's excruciating to see. Alcohol is a hell of a drug.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's any trauma there at all. They know it's all just a great conspiracy against their man, just as he says it is. Hey, Christ was persecuted too...
Welcome! Texas isn't a particularly great place for the rule of law -- the AG is still under indictment (he has been since he was elected) and the lege didn't remove him from office when they had a chance. Dr Evil Hot Wheels is still gov, trying to figure out yet more diabolically clever ways to drown migrants in the Rio Grande.
On the plus side, we can still drink heavily (for now) and if you like beer, you're in luck. (Try an Electric Jellyfish if you get a chance.) Beer and the music are what make it possible to live here. Also, you're less likely to get heat stroke at COTA now that it's cooled off a little bit.
The one thing that I did notice was how the Latinos here in Round Rock work at becoming American, and yet retain their Latino heritage.
I was in the hill country, tried some of your wines, really good, and Dripping Springs Winery and Beer? Had some great beer . Bought some Texas Olive Oil.
Anywho, might not like Texas Politics, but I'm really lovin Texas
So Trump was indicted, allowed to await his trials as a free man and presidential candidate and he proceeded to spew dangerous, delusional bull shit In interviews and on social media. He was warned. He continued to spew his dangerous, delusional bull shit in interviews and on social media. He was warned again. He continued to spew his dangerous, delusional bull shit in interviews and on social media. He was finally slapped with a gag order. He continued to spew his dangerous, delusional bull shit In interviews and on social media. He was warned. He continued to spew his dangerous, delusional bull shit in interviews and on social media. He was told to take down his dangerous, delusional bull shit. He told the judge he had taken down the dangerous, delusional bull shit, when, in fact, he had not. He was fined and threatened with jail time. The next time he violates the gag order, that bloated, entitled, felonious. treasonous, grifting, sociopathic, pile of explosive diarrhea had better see some fucking jail time.
I’m with you, Linda. Threats don’t stop this mofo. Only jail will. And I still can’t get over how these flipping criminals are copping sweetheart plea deals with NO jail time, no loss of law license, nothing but pocket change fees and a written fucking apology. I’m furious!
Well, there's this: Sydney Powell will FOREVER carry the stink of Donald Trump on her. No matter where she goes during the rest of her life, it will be there. She'll forever be known as the Krazy Kraken Lawyer who worked for Donald Trump when he tried to overturn the government. WHO in their right mind, and could afford her fees (note the caveat), would ever hire her for anything? She'll be a cashier at Kroger within a few years just to make ends meet, and to get herself an employee discount on Diet Dr. Pepper.
I imagine that the judges in these cases have had some private dialogues amongst them about how to proceed in this situation. Diarrhea Donald will continue to threaten others and so will his lemming followers. That cannot remain a deterrent to these judges who mean business. It’s going to continue in any case, so why not yank the bandage off now and deal with the infection.
I heard that they (judges) don’t want to crack down at this point bc then there’s something for them to APPEAL, which will cause DELAY... could that be true?
BFD. 5 grand isn’t even a slap on the wrist. The threats just continue, like the useless mom who warns her uncontrollable toddler , “I’m going to count to three…” but never gets there. Little Donny should’ve been in the slammer before now. Spare us the bluster: frikkin’ DO SOMETHING!!!
For anybody wondering, "community service" isn't what it sounds like. Sentenced to that, you won't be working at a food pantry, or answering phones in the state house. You'll be doing things like cleaning bus stops, or cleaning up fire stations, sweeping up those halls in the state house, or other drudge work. And you'll be doing it all under armed guard.
Jimmy Jordan, we hardly knew ye as speaker, though honestly, we didn't really want to know you either.
I’m thinking all of them are going to flip at some point and I’m so down for that. As the list grows none are going to want to be left holding the bag of flaming dog poo for Orange Shitstain.
My money’s on the man with the runny hair dye. He’s bankrupt and digging a deeper financial hole is not in his best interest. Plus he’s 79 years old. My bet is he doesn’t want to die in prison sans hair care. Jenna is young and stupid and thinks she’s in control of the narrative. She’s gonna look pretty in orange and sell her story to make $.
As always, this is a great piece, and the photo/caption of the madman with big antlers was hilarious. May we never hear from the QShaman again. When will you post your “this week in stupid” newsletter? We so look forward to that!!
Good, because this week it was as if they ran a buy-one get-one-week-of- stupid free sale, and the Dummbfucks formed a Black Friday line each morning at 5am to rush in and see who can out-stupid whom each day. Egad!
LOL!! Wasn’t the shaman released from prison recently? I read somewhere that he was signing books at a bookstore event. Apparently he wrote a book about his experiences. I’m not sure if I was dreaming this or if I actually read about it. 😂
Yeah, sure, and another warehouse in Nevada is LOADED with cases of Jacob Chansley books just waiting to be sold at the next C-PAC before they become remainders at Walmart and Sam's Club. 🤣
Omg! I just saw an announcement in a local paper that our "representative" (he does NOT represent me) Jack Bergman, is going to run for speaker! Our district is the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and part of the lower peninsula.
Heads up: Bergman sucks. For starters, he's a carpetbagger. He's from Louisiana. I don't think he's ever spent so much as a night in the UP except in a hotel a few times. His father lived here for a few years as a kid--that's it.
Second, he totally supported The Big Lie.
Third, he hasn't done a thing in 6 (or so) years.
Fourth, he's some kind of ex-military, and has small man complex. I've seen him in person; he's shorter than me, and I'm 5'6". Nothing wrong with being short, but he does have that belligerent overcompensating demeanor.
Sooner or later the Trump mobster machine is going to run out of corrupt officials in influential positions owing them favours and their decades of being gifted criminal amnesty by those silenced through threats of violence, kompramat and blackmail will run out of road.
I wish I could agree. Virtually anyone else would have gone to jail for threatening a judge or his clerk. It would have taken one weekend in jail for this brat to finally learn he does not have instant immunity. This is just a game for trump and it’s dangerous.
My question, in addition to “how the fuck is Donald Trump not in jail?” is "how the fuck is Donald Trump allowed to run for President?"
I think we've all learned something we never knew ... early lawmakers never bothered to add this kind of restriction into the rules.

(Damn them all for requiring me to think like a criminal.)
That was my first thought too. Convicted of a crime, especially a federal crime, absolutely. Any other criminal activity, like fraud or sex offenses, would have to be carefully worded so misdemeanors wouldn’t be included.

Love the Flynn Idea
I wish I could take credit for thinking it up, but I read it somewhere and thought it was an excellent idea myself.
My 19-yo son and I are moving to Scotland in the spring; I'm a dual cit, he's working on his UK citizenship as we speak.
Yes, that's an excellent point.
And That is True and Frightening
Kind of like the way all The State Justices were appointed( non supreme court)
And here's another frightening detail: I know SEVERAL otherwise kind, intelligent, educated people who STRONGLY support Trump STILL. I don't talk to them about it because there's no point. But it chills me.

He isn't running for President. He IS running for the Republican nomination.
It's not over till the fat guy from New Jersey sings.

I agree. I have a bad feeling about this... the longer Trump is not in his prison cell where he belongs, the worse it will turn out for America.
He will NEVER come out smelling like a Rose

I predict that Rudy will die in jail.

I'm going with "AMERICA'S FAVORITE STOOL PIGEON" , and cousin fucker. Toody Ghouliano.
I don't know about that. She had an ear-to-ear grin in her booking photo.
That was just her attempt at mindfucking the rubes... or maybe trying to fool herself.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's any trauma there at all. They know it's all just a great conspiracy against their man, just as he says it is. Hey, Christ was persecuted too...
Im Visiting Austin TX
I've been drinking for you all this week, and will be drinking for you at the F1 tomorrow!
It's been a Great Week For the Rule of Law in America
Welcome! Texas isn't a particularly great place for the rule of law -- the AG is still under indictment (he has been since he was elected) and the lege didn't remove him from office when they had a chance. Dr Evil Hot Wheels is still gov, trying to figure out yet more diabolically clever ways to drown migrants in the Rio Grande.

Aghast! Its mind boggeling!
Thats your burden, I only wish you well.
I think your speaking about Greg Abbott?
The one thing that I did notice was how the Latinos here in Round Rock work at becoming American, and yet retain their Latino heritage.

Don’t count on it. All we’re seeing is hollow threats and empty anger. I’ve had it with these judges who don’t follow through
I’m with you, Linda. Threats don’t stop this mofo. Only jail will. And I still can’t get over how these flipping criminals are copping sweetheart plea deals with NO jail time, no loss of law license, nothing but pocket change fees and a written fucking apology. I’m furious!

No, they don't

Exactly!! And earn some respect in the process. The first person on earth to stand up to Sphincter Face.
Maybe they fear for their families. I mean, little Donny’s followers will kill and/or maim - they’ve proven that.
Someone should be a hero and stop being afraid. The country is going down in flames. I’d do it!
I heard that they (judges) don’t want to crack down at this point bc then there’s something for them to APPEAL, which will cause DELAY... could that be true?
If that’s the case, I could forgive them. Those SOBs have delayed enough already!
I wonder if Republicans have a betting pool on who can get away with the biggest crimes before getting an orange jumpsuit.
Certainly feels like they do.
I have no doubt
More likely than not.
Until he’s thrown in jail while awaiting trial I will not be terribly impressed with this continued piecemeal hand slapping. $5k? C’mon!
Exactly!! Ridiculous and infuriating!!
BFD. 5 grand isn’t even a slap on the wrist. The threats just continue, like the useless mom who warns her uncontrollable toddler , “I’m going to count to three…” but never gets there. Little Donny should’ve been in the slammer before now. Spare us the bluster: frikkin’ DO SOMETHING!!!
it's a start I guess...
A very weak one
but still...
For anybody wondering, "community service" isn't what it sounds like. Sentenced to that, you won't be working at a food pantry, or answering phones in the state house. You'll be doing things like cleaning bus stops, or cleaning up fire stations, sweeping up those halls in the state house, or other drudge work. And you'll be doing it all under armed guard.
Jimmy Jordan, we hardly knew ye as speaker, though honestly, we didn't really want to know you either.
Thank you Jeff. You always make my day.
I’m thinking all of them are going to flip at some point and I’m so down for that. As the list grows none are going to want to be left holding the bag of flaming dog poo for Orange Shitstain.
My money’s on the man with the runny hair dye. He’s bankrupt and digging a deeper financial hole is not in his best interest. Plus he’s 79 years old. My bet is he doesn’t want to die in prison sans hair care. Jenna is young and stupid and thinks she’s in control of the narrative. She’s gonna look pretty in orange and sell her story to make $.
Prison with no hair dye. That's a crime against humanity.
It looks like The Winter of our Discontent is shaping up nicely to contain a lot of contentment.
Nice line from Richard III, Shakespeare’s grifter extraordinaire. Political theatre writ large.
As always, this is a great piece, and the photo/caption of the madman with big antlers was hilarious. May we never hear from the QShaman again. When will you post your “this week in stupid” newsletter? We so look forward to that!!
this week's 'week in stupid' will run tomorrow
Good, because this week it was as if they ran a buy-one get-one-week-of- stupid free sale, and the Dummbfucks formed a Black Friday line each morning at 5am to rush in and see who can out-stupid whom each day. Egad!
😂😂
You’re awesome. Thank you and have a great weekend.
Hope he’s getting his organic vegetable meals in prison. 🥑
LOL!! Wasn’t the shaman released from prison recently? I read somewhere that he was signing books at a bookstore event. Apparently he wrote a book about his experiences. I’m not sure if I was dreaming this or if I actually read about it. 😂
Now I have to ask Alexa!
Okay. Do you get back to me on that 😊. I’m heading out soon to enjoy this beautiful autumn day, but inquiring minds want to know.
He did... some huge best seller. 🙄
Yeah, sure, and another warehouse in Nevada is LOADED with cases of Jacob Chansley books just waiting to be sold at the next C-PAC before they become remainders at Walmart and Sam's Club. 🤣
Oy! What a world.
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Antler guy... 🤣

Third, he hasn't done a thing in 6 (or so) years.
Fourth, he's some kind of ex-military, and has small man complex. I've seen him in person; he's shorter than me, and I'm 5'6". Nothing wrong with being short, but he does have that belligerent overcompensating demeanor.
Great piece Jeff!
Sooner or later the Trump mobster machine is going to run out of corrupt officials in influential positions owing them favours and their decades of being gifted criminal amnesty by those silenced through threats of violence, kompramat and blackmail will run out of road.
I wish I could agree. Virtually anyone else would have gone to jail for threatening a judge or his clerk. It would have taken one weekend in jail for this brat to finally learn he does not have instant immunity. This is just a game for trump and it’s dangerous.
