I second this: “how much more bullshit do we have to put up with?”

Tardigret's avatar

On The Young Turks yesterday, they were discussing just what he meant by calling AG James "Peakaboo James." >:-( The older ones among us at least will remember the slur to which his reprehensible dog whistle refers.

Patris's avatar

He can F himself. (Probably the only way he’s ever going to experience sex again)

kdsherpa's avatar

LOL! (Unless things get hot and heavy in prison.)

Patris's avatar

They’d have to be pretty desperate..

Linda Weide's avatar

More likely they will attack him unless he is in isolation, meaning secret service is relieved from protecting him or maybe not. I am sure they are eager for him not to be incarcerated. I think at that point we need to have our legislators create a law saying no funding convicted criminal presidents off of taxpayers dime!

Steven Smith's avatar

He can always go out cruising with "handjob Bob" from the New England patriots.🤣🤣

John Kierig's avatar

At least he didn't call her "Pickaninny James."

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

I bet he has when he's ranting to his attorneys and "handlers." It's pretty awful behind the scenes. He loves to run his own case and they're already in trouble with the judge so...

Susan Linehan's avatar

He wanted to. He also clearly wanted to start "aboo" with jig. SOMEONE is restraining him somehow.

Tardigret's avatar

And that would be an alliteration, which he would love. He and his childish love of insulting nicknames. That absolute piece of shit. I'll bet you anything he said that in front of staff, and someone said "you can't say that!" So then someone said "say peakaboo instead!" And they laughed.

His downfall cannot come soon enough.

Susan Linehan's avatar

I think that too. Or someone distracted him with a hamberder while the staff member changed the word.

Joleen’s Readings And Writings's avatar

That would be just “too” obvious.

Runfastandwin's avatar

that alone should cause every legitimate journalist to point out that's no different than the n word.

Openly Fae's avatar

There's legitimate journalists left??

James Starr's avatar

the journalists are all owned by MAGA owned corporations, now. Unlike before 2000 when journalism still had some balance and fairness

Alicia Norman's avatar

an extremely valid question.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

I'm old but I can't place that reference. Please describe it. And I'm from the South. I have a good idea but not sure.

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

Jigaboo. It used to be a term the dumber racists used. A lot.

Rick Calegari's avatar

And those idiotic racists are also know as peckerwoods. There is a reason why the tangerine turd has such a large peckerwood following.

Alicia Norman's avatar

jigaboo and pickaninny--it's like he combined the two.

kdsherpa's avatar

He is as EVIL as they come.

Alicia Norman's avatar

How anyone can see him as a leader is beyond me.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

Oh, okay. I didn't make that connection.

Tardigret's avatar

I'm from the north, and I'd never heard that here, but heard references to it elsewhere.

Oh, I've got those childhood memories too but in my family if you were caught uttering that kind of disparaging language toward black people, you would get a beating for it. We loved them in my small rural town. They were kind and gentle and at that time, we were all in it together as far as treating each other well. My dad had a farm and a drug store and we were with them all the time and loved them and I remember nothing but kindness from them. But now I know what was done to them, keeping them poor and subservient even with all that kindness and it's very very painful to me.

I am from Georgia and I never heard anything like that at school or home, thank god. We had moved to Fulton County, which I am so proud of right now.

Deb's avatar

And....after using all the insults and race-baiting slurs that he could get away with, how much you want to bet that his MAGA campaign followed up with a fund-raising email to all those who probably still salivate when they heard him call her 'Peakaboo James'! By the way, that's a rhetorical question...he is grotesque, and anyone who gives him money deserves to lose it!

Susan Linehan's avatar

I could certainly spot immediately what his was referring to. So common in my childhood.

Ellen Howe Ballou's avatar

Where does he come up with that garbage? Does he have a Dogwhistle Deputy?

Sköll's avatar

Knowing how Trump Org works, he likely used the actual term, and some handler in his group modified the word.

Sköll's avatar

Pepperridge Farm remembers.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Whaaaa! Whaaaa! Whaaaa! LDFF is psychologically so damaged... and it doesn’t speak well for those who continue to support him. Ms. James and the Judge are going to win this thing. May it be over soon. 🙄

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

The saddest and worst thing of all this is we find we have millions of fellow citizens who swoon over these utter lies and garbage and they like him for those very things.

Susan Niemann's avatar

I agree wholeheartedly-our society is primitive. Not a lot of critical thinking.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

And a whole lot of grievance and rage thinking things are being taken away from them.

Dr J's Sanity Space's avatar

This is what distresses me more.

Tardigret's avatar

Because they finally have a "politician" who openly speaks like them. That's why they love him.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

That's what the consensus of opinion is on that and when you see what they've been doing for a long time out there in nutsville, we let it go on because, well, freedom. They twist freedom and use it as a club on democracy.

Ellen Howe Ballou's avatar

Hillary was correct. Deplorables.

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

They were just that, now they are far, far worse.

Karla's avatar

You nailed it. It was a political show that allowed him to avoid his deposition in the Cohen suit that he, himself, filed.

Sharon Buchbinder, PhD's avatar

Jeff, you nailed it again: “the impulse control of a coked-up squirrel”. Jr had a great role model. 🤪🐿️

SeekingReason's avatar

Since written gag orders are not effective. I suggest a physical one. Clamp his heat in a cage helmet and let him sit in a prison cell until juvenile Donny learns a lesson.

On a side note, the new nazi temp Speaker ordered Nancy Pelosi to vacate her office. Stop complying when these pretend and unqualified magats place orders they do not have a right yo make! The temp Nazi Speaker apparently is only there to see a new Speaker elected. Not to dictate! He is not an elected Speaker!

DonP's avatar

The speaker thing is a bit different. She was asked to give up her office in the Capitol building. Her office there is usually assigned to the Speaker Emeritus/Emerita. Since, like it or not, McCarthy is now the Speaker Emeritus, the office technically belongs to him, and the Office of the Speaker of the House, (the physical one) is now empty, though the current Speaker Pro-tem is using it.

She still has an office in one of the House buildings.

It's still a petty move to make the demand when she was attending Diane Feinstein's funeral. But then petty is pretty much how all Republicans can be described.

Charlie Austin's avatar

It's a dick move by a bunch of dicks.

SeekingReason's avatar

It’s not clear he has the authority to do so as a temp just sitting in to find a new speaker. But the next speaker would do so anyway. The fact that Nancy P was attending a funeral while they decided this is just par for the course. We will remove them!

Tardigret's avatar

They keep refusing orders, like to appear in court! Nancy should move in, live there 24/7. ha

Openly Fae's avatar

Why the fuck is he not in a cell?

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

He should be hanging his attorneys by their ankles as they're the ones who overlooked the always-present box to check for jury trial or bench trial. I think Habba has a look on her face like she's been raked over the coals off camera for it. One of the biggest crimes is what they're reluctant to do in fear of jeopardizing the safety of everyone on Trump's opposite side. Never has any defendant gotten away with as much public endangering and threats than Trump has. He's like a ticking bomb every second and everywhere he goes.

kdsherpa's avatar

But he originally said that it was HIS Brilliant Idea, didn't he?

Mary Virginia Hughes's avatar

I didn't know that. That's the problem when you think you're smarter than and know all the laws and rules and regulations that lawyers go to school to learn for a long time.

Kay-El's avatar

Trump’s antics are all theater of the absurd and a way to raise money. See also: Matt Gaetz, who immediately sent out a fundraiser after ousting McCarthy

Karen Leeds's avatar

I believe it was WHILE he was ousting McCarthy.

Kay-El's avatar

Wouldn’t surprise me!

Doc Blase''s avatar

It's true. I saw a video of one of the reps holding up his cell phone and yelling about how crass it was to be soliciting while the vote was going on.

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

Years from now, if there is human existence years from now, people are going to have SO many questions.

Ann Anderson's avatar

Peekaboo James? WTF is that supposed to mean? Can we please be done with this illiterate criminal dipshit? Like the judge said, "Jesus!" I feel you, dude.

DonP's avatar

Peekaboo is nothing more than a veiled jig aboo. Very common phrase for a racist to use in regards to a POC,

Cassandra Here's avatar

What a pathetic putrescence he is.

Morgan OCailleigh's avatar

"Peekaboo????" That's like scraping the bottom of the barrel for insults. I'm waiting for it to call her a bitch or a cunt on its lying social platform. That'll go over well... 🙄🙄

Sharon Horton's avatar

It's a racist euphemism; another commenter explained it.

Morgan OCailleigh's avatar

Thanks. Sounds more like a racy bra or something. 🤷‍♀️

Doc Blase''s avatar

It actually would go over great. The cult loves hate. It's their drug of choice.

Morgan OCailleigh's avatar

True. It's all so disgusting... who raised these people???🙄

Alicia Norman's avatar

Tish told him off and I know that had him seething. Then he ran with his tail between his legs to Florida. Engoron slapped a gag order on him--will he finally be the judge to enforce it. I know folks are afraid of what his minions might do but we can't live in fear of those creeps--justice has to be served regardless of his cult's reactions.

Deb's avatar

When I gag while reading about Donny, can I go to court to sue for him breaking the court’s “gag order “?

kdsherpa's avatar

I LOVE D.A. James!!! The stupid orange sadist can just go to the lowest realm of Hell. NOW.

Tardigret's avatar

We all do, she is a BOSS. That link to her response that Jeff posted, wow. She is clearly upset, I mean, she could well be in danger, and I hope she has extra security. Lots of it. But she is not lowering herself to his level. By all reports, she has done her research and then some on this case. I hope they take every penny he has.

kdsherpa's avatar

Wouldn't it be funny is $2.5M turns out to be ALL of his cash on hand! FOTFLMAO!

Rick's avatar

guy has zero equity in anything he "owns" -- most of his assets would prove underwater were serious efforts to sell put in motion

id prefer he be jailed than taxidermed with the vermin of maralago----but will thrill to hear his tantrums when they start liquidating his shithole assets

bankruptcy is the theme with this lowest of humans--moral, financial etc

kdsherpa's avatar

FOTFLMAO!!! Yes, he is bankrupt in every known area.
