It seems that many of the judges hearing Trump motions and cases are making it clear that Trump is not above the law and it's so very good see this. I think the judges hearing the Meadows appeal also made it clear that overthrowing an election is not part of the job description for Meadows, and by extension, not part of Trump's former job.

The Ides of March came early for Julius Cheesebrain.

Andrew Weissmann agrees:

"The courts are closing ranks to uphold the rule of law!"

Judge Pryor of the 11th Circuit Court, a conservative, holds that Meadows cannot be tried in federal court and Judge Chutkan, a liberal, holds that trump does not have absolute immunity.

Wonder how DJT's delusions are holding up ? Maybe he'll finally live up to the promise that we won't hear anything more from this unpolished hunk of fecal matter.

I'd like to see him sweet - talk the survivors of people who died because he couldn't be bothered to take anything resembling action during Covid, or talk to the families of the kids at St. Jude's Children's Hospital that he ripped off.

How Donald Trump Shifted Kids-Cancer Charity Money Into His Business

Eric was being a good son. Learning the con from his father's knee.

What perplexes me the most about Donald and I guess confirms that he has no moral compass is his unwillingness to admit that he’s wrong, ever.

At least Nixon eventually said, I give up. I perpetuated a crime. Nixon also showed some respect for the Office of the President.

Trump has no concept of respect. He doesn’t respect himself much less the Office of the President of the United States.

MY DAD was a narcissist LITE. He had a HELLUVA time admitting that he could be anywhere near WRONG ( he could also be a perfectionist, but that's another story for another time ) & he could try to make life miserable for anyone calling him on it if he mucked up. He was STILL nowhere as unreasonable as DJT. But I wouldn't have wanted him in public office, or even 100 miles away from one. A narcissist in public office is a recipe for DISASTER.

When a guy like ‘Himself’ is cornered and it dawns on him the loss of his life as he has always known it is real, may I suggest he be placed in a very sturdy play pen in order to protect the country and its citizens. And most importantly he has to have his communication devices taken away. It’s his lies that cause the harm.

Donald JUDAS Trump isn't really even TRYING to walk back his comment re :. being a dictator. I think that he's hoping that we'll FORGET or think that he's joking when he DOESN'T have anything remotely resembling a sense of humor, let alone how to try to be ANYTHING remotely resembling a decent, humane, human being.

His lack of anything resembling a filter or inability to police his stupidity is going to trip him up as he's standing on a precipice.

Life imprisonment and mental illness intervention after he pays for all the taxes used and wasted. The amount of time and expense that we the people have paid for AND reparation for causing SO MUCH DAMAGE AND EMOTIONAL SUFFERING we’ve had to endure because the laws haven’t been enforced by our appointed and pathetic (spineless) judges in their court proceedings. Waaaaaay, waaaaayyyy illegal and grossly unconstitutional. As of quite a while ago, the judges involved have been inept at initiating firm and immediate corrective action. They should follow right along with LDFF and be hauled off too. Since I was a child I learned right from wrong and then understood the “gray areas” in between. This is a good lesson in learning what is ethical and what absolutely isn’t. I’m cutting myself off at this point...🤪

I think it's emulation. Wasn't there a Roman emperor ( Caligula ? ) who was imitated by ass - kissing courtiers ?

Going back about 1,000 years further, this Egyptian pharaoh, Akhenaten, started formal worship of the sun disk, & he had court officials who went through the motions of his monotheistic cult, but made fun of him when he wasn't looking.

There's a joke in an alternate history where somebody says, "When the Emperor farts, his courtiers shit a mountain!"

But that still makes no sense to me—Giuliani could have just kept his head down and his mouth shut, and maybe the jury would have taken a LITTLE pity on him? But he's out there pulling down his pants and shaking his ass at the plaintiffs, the judge, the jury, the audience....

No, that would be too easy and quick an end to him. Personally, I want to see him completely destitute and then found guilty of ALL his criminal acts. Then, once found guilty, he needs to be sentenced to like 1000 years in prison (or buried under the prison to serve out his remaining sentence after he dies).

I'm talkin' behind bars, concrete cell, solitary confinement in a place like for instance ADX SuperMax in CO. He would be sitting in his lonely concrete cell 23 hours a day. No TV, NO telephones, NO Internet, NO contact with other prisoners or guards, NOTHING to look forward to but his 1 hour a day in the "yard" which is also enclosed so he cannot see outside the prison walls to any landscape whatsoever. Only part of the sky. That's it.

He can teach himself how to read and if by some chance he does earn one of those tiny black and white TV's prisoners on good behaviour earn, there are only two channels available. Both close circuit. One is an education channel and the other is religious. LOL! No Fox News, No Shawn Hannity, No Tucker. NO gold plating either. Just concrete with a foam mat for his bed and a concrete block for him to sit on.

THAT would be punishment. He can have only himself for company. And absolutely NO freedom for anything.

I LIKE WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM !

None of that " Club Fed " BS either. He goes into a REAL prison, 1 toilet, bunkmate optional - but if he has a bunk / cellmate, it should be someone like Manson, McVeigh, Gacy, someone COMPLETELY HOMICIDAL so that Donny will sleep with on eye open lest he receive a knife in his back, guts or somewhere else.

Mary you are quite welcome. I was happy to invest the max amount to listen and read all you have to provide.

Like you I had a mother in law as cruel as djt. She blamed me for my daughter drowning, when I was out of town working and she was supposed to watch her. She told me I didn’t thank my father in law enough for putting a cover over the jacuzzi where she drowned. I said I was sorry but he didn’t have to help put the cover over the pool/jacuzzi, and her come back was and he didn’t have to pull your baby out of the pool, but he did. I hate people that blame others for their shortcomings, or things that don’t go their ways, in life!!

Your uncle is vile, creepy, repugnant and a fool. That illegal immigrant wife is a strange opportunistic bed fellow. Both deserving of each other!

DJT has no remorse for felling the American people which I don’t expect crap from him but every single elected REPUBLICAN HAS NOT CONDEMND THIS MONSTER THAT SHOULD NEVER GET SECURITY, PENSION OR ANY OTHER SPECIAL Privileges.

Expand full comment

An idea. The Evangelicans support Trump as we know. Instead of dropping them in N. Korea what if the Billionaires who received chunks of our money to build their start ups, such as Musk and Bezos, gave back by offering to transport Evangelical Christians to outer space, near where these guys plan to escape to when the Earth burns up.

The movement could be promoted as a reward for being the faithful servants of God in a world filled with unbelievers. And by being in Space they are closer to Jesus so they will be the first into Heaven before the Earthly Evangelicals who stayed behind.

What do you bet thousands would sign up for this?

Nice, BUT here comes a sticky point - Evangelicals have a strange rather ambivalent relationship with tech & avoid anything TOO unfamiliar. OFFICIALLY, they're not big fans of tech, although most of them would have a stroke if they had to give up gadgets. They'd be very suspicious of going to space & I don't think that I'm far from the mark in saying that.

The Justice system he’s playing now is not the small time one he’s used to. More importantly, the players are not small businesses and independent contractors that he could drown in legal fees while dragging out the process until they quit, never being paid. Some even losing their businesses. He wanted to play in the big leagues but he isn’t of that caliber. Thank you Mary! You’re insight and updates are so necessary now.
