Congrats to all you Ohioans who made the supreme effort to vote in this “non-essential” election, as your Trumpublican state leaders called it. You did an outstanding job sticking it to them not only fir this, but for all the other ‘bullshit’ that they had hidden in this.

Plus, she has a wicked RICO law in GA that sounds perfect for a guy that is so crooked he probably needs a corkscrew and Walt Nauta to put his pants on in the morning.

The weather forecast for Friday: It's going to be a beautiful, lovely, gorgeous day in DC. Sunshine with 95% chance of shit raining down on Donny Big Mouth. Next week is also looking good, with a focal shit storm over the Fulton County Courthouse, with large baseball sized turds hitting Donny Big Mouth and his team of garage lawyers. Stay tuned for more weather forecasts.

I am sooooo ready for it. My sister is a Black conservative, so she super uber mad about the Fulton County blockades downtown. I try my best not to gloat because I am on pins and needles. Not planning any family gatherings once the indictments are finally handed down.

There’s been a lot said and written about the supposed inflamed trumpers who will attack the country if trump is convicted but there has been very little written about how the majority of this country will rise up if the orange asshole doesn’t get convicted. We want justice!!! Just because a portion of this country have lost their weak, ignorant minds doesn’t mean we should cater to their bullshit on any level. Let’s keep going with the probable 5 cases against the fucker and add all indictments and civil cases that should take place.

You are very correct, Alicia. This guy had flipped. He was a ‘stone cold Trumpeter’! There were thousands of them in Washington on January 6th, and well over 1000 have been charged and convicted to date. Thus country is full of these people, and for the life of me, I cannot understand what the heck these people see in this fraud scammer.

I also am curious to see if the dapper Mr. Graham has to face any consequences. Doubtful, but there was actual fucking sedition here, and actual unredemptive seditionists are still in Congress, still seditioning. Jeez, it’s sickening. So getting at least one congressman or senator to face charges would be a start. The Aegean stables eventually got cleaned, so maybe there’s hope.

From my side, on the sidelines, that is, looks like Graham is every bit of the hGOP& plot. A major player.

From what I have learned, Lindsey is indeed ensnared in the net.

Indeed. There hasn't been much accountability since the Savings & Loan criming in the 80s, where at least some went to prison. Time for some justice alrady.

Criminalizing women's healthcare is the crux of it. F them!

Only criminalizing the women in the equation. No pregnancy occurs without sperm, but we are now a two-tier country in myriad ways.

Good point. Not to mention helpful friends and family in Texas. They'd love to see that one go national. Vigilante those do gooders!

What would they loose? Maybe a little change to cover support of all babies born, no matter the feasibility of surviving. Increased med care for emergency room visits for women in distress due to miscarriage, high risk pregnancies & the danger that puts mother & fetus in for having severe health risks or death. Although they might start out paying all those expensive medical procedures, I’m sure the would somehow figure out how to weasel out of any responsibility for their inaction, or neglect to help fund little sperm journey. Yeah, lock him up!

They do like their money but I think this falls under the 'cruelty just because' category. 🙄

Judge Tanya S. Chutkan isn’t a Justice that Frump wants to screw with. I heard parts of his ‘speech’ he gave last night defying any order that she gives. He actually believes that he’s above the law. He actually thinks that he will not get out in jail.

He’s in a delusional world, because this is how he was raised. ‘Daddy’, the KKK, always covered fir him. Always kept him out of trouble, and always paid his way out if jail.

Just exactly like he’s doing now, but he’s using his minions to pay his bills. Guess what? Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is fixing to put a halt to that 💩. He’s fixing to freeze all the bank accounts, the PAC’s money, everything associated with Frumoy!

I’d laugh so hard if his funds were frozen. 😂👏🏼👏🏼

Remember that trump was formed into a narcissist early in life; the grandiosity is unmistakable. He was taught to believe in a fabled existence and the brakes fell off this freight train years ago.

He’s in for some “behavior modification” at the hands of the judge. We’ve been waiting a long time.

Expand full comment

He’s unfixable. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_triad It’s a genetic disorder and it seems likely several of his children (if not all) are affected.

You have to remember, bud dear daughter didn’t have to be ask twice by Jack Smith to testify before the Grand Jury. She didn’t fight the subpoena, nothing. She almost broke her neck getting there so fast. I’m guessing that’s why her and hubby headed out of the country so fast afterwards.

I’ve worked for a couple of these types. Business leadership is filled with them. And rewarded.

I like that…..”behavior modification”.

Expand full comment

Well I was a therapist so.. lol Some personality disordered people learn from the direct consequences of their actions as to how to behave differently. Their lack of insight and their behavior continue to be maladaptive otherwise. trump rejects the discipline of others, or their attempts at it, because he believes there is a golden horseshoe up his ass and that behavior for normal people does not apply to him. The judge is going to show him that it does. He can be angry about her power in his life, but he will have to comply when he is in her court room, and if he is incarcerated. He will do as they tell him. The criminal justice system will own him. But he's a tough nut to crack, for sure. Denial is a powerful thing.

Expand full comment

One other thing. Trump will never survive prison. He’s been catered to his entire life. He was babied as a child until he was in his 20s then his ‘daddy’ always gave him everything he wanted, and he never hit his hands dirty doing anything. His father taught him the ways of the KKK, and he’s using the same techniques now in his running gif office, and fighting avoiding going to prison.

Thanks, Daniel. I worked with law enforcement on my end in drug/alcohol treatment court programs. Prosecutors and deputies were on our teams. I did assessments at the jail in some cases. It's not a place for sissies, I'll say that. It startled me when people went in front of the judge thinking they were going to bs and get away with it. Denial. I was just telling someone recently that trump may not drink, as his brother did, but he has the simmering resentments and the risk taking like an alcoholic. Almost daring people to call him out. I mean that in terms of active addiction. His manipulation of people, the uncomfortable feeling you get listening to him talk, because he's trying to scam someone, trying to intimidate and punk someone with his gaslighting. We know that codependents can mirror alcoholic behavior without ever taking a drink. You know you can feel when somebody isn't right, when something's off with them. It's a personality snafu. People like him are scary, because they pose in society as "normal" people. But they're not. I've said that he's a one-stop crime shop, and he is. His compulsions are lying and diet coke. And yes, a different world awaits him in prison. If he doesn't end up in a country club facility hitting golf balls all day. God willing, he won't. He indeed has been coddled all his life, truly spoiled, and never allowed to feel the pain of his decisions. Maggie Haberman's book "Confidence Man" is so spot-on. That's what he is. A con artist.

How correct you are. In my law enforcement career, my last 12 years was with the Florida Department of Corrections. I actually worked the confinement units in three different institutions. Then the state had me opening the Close Management Units in several institutions. These inmates were the worst of the worst. They coukd not live on the main compound, but we’re not “Starke” qualified. They were one step away from there. And I was assigned to run the units with these inmates housed in them.

It was a fight every day with some of them. But, they earned quite quickly that I was one to accommodate their every desire. If they wished to fight, I always ended it. And usually quite quickly. They knew I intended to go hone at night and go yo sleep, comfortably. And I did.

By the way, I highly respect your position as a therapist. I always have, because even back in my day at the prisons, I had to work closely with the therapist at the prisons. I had to stay abreast of the mental condition of my inmates I was charged with. Occasionally I missed the mark and list the inmate to suicide.

I’m laughing now. When Jack Smith freezes these accounts, Frumpy’s so screwed. Hell not be able to pay his attorneys!!! That one female attorney he has. He’ll pay her. He will grab her crotch and she’ll flash more cleavage at him. She’ll be ‘satisfied’, I’m sure!

"He’s fixing to freeze all the bank accounts, the PAC’s money, everything associated with Frumoy!" -- I mean, does anyone else see Jack Smith walking in bad ass slow-mo before snatching off his glasses? I am beyond ready for the beat downs to commence.

Expand full comment

Yes, it appears he’s in slow-mo mode, but, we just remember, he started this just last year. Just over a year ago. Since then he’s had two, or more Grand Jury’s going, has served numerous indictments from these two, and he’s not finished, yet.

There’s going to be a lot more indictments coming out if both of there Grand Jury’s. He’s also the cause that the investigations have begun, finally in Arizona, Wisconsin, and other states. Look for more state indictments there besides what we are expecting next week from Georgia.

Yep, he’s move slow, but he’s been extremely mythological, thorough, and precise. All the i’s are fitted, t’s crossed. The indictments are far better written than any I’ve ever seen. They are so thorough, a second grader can read them and know this dirty scum, and his cohorts are all guilty as sin!

Jeff, I’m going out on a limb here, but I can’t see Judge Chutkan farting around with this. Right now, Drumpf isn’t required to be at the Friday hearing but that may change... Anyone who continued to do what he’s doing would be sitting in a cell waiting for trial. Methinks he wants it. I say give it to him.

Yes. Lock him up and confiscate his fucking phone. His delay tactics will come to a screeching halt and suddenly he’ll be demanding a speedy trial.

Latest from Rondos Florida.. Rondo removed an elected state prosecutor from the Orlando area. A woman, Black, Democratic Party member, allegedly due to the fact she “was soft on crime”. Because this is what fascists- authoritarians do. What in the actual fuck? On the other hand...Today I fill my bong with Ohio GQP tears, thanks to the voters of Ohio.

"Soft on Crime" Dog whistle for she is a criminal. Like Trump did with Fani Willis by having the nerve to go after her sex life, White dudes in power try to tear Black women down Montgomery Brawl style when they dare approach them. This is why I am doubly glad Trump is getting his but kicked by two strong and capable ladies who wont back down...

I am increasingly more optimistic that the orange anus mouth will be held to account. Thank you Judge Chutkan!! And congrats to those who worked so hard to get out the vote in Ohio. Great job and thanks to the voters, too, who are getting fed up 'pub shit. iI am on pins and needles to see who will join the defendant in Georgia indictments. It's great to see women, especially WOC, stand up to the criminals and take them down.
