Trump Shows Off His Ignorance and Detachment From Reality in Rabid Rants to Impeach Biden

Posted by Mark NC on August 28, 2023 at 1:24 pm. 8 Comments :

An obviously frantic Donald Trump is unleashing a stream of bile and belligerence in the wake of a court ruling that his trial on charges of subverting democracy and attempting to stage a violent coup is now scheduled to begin on March 4, 2024. That’s just two months later than special counsel Jack Smith requested, and two years sooner than Trump did.

Despite Judge Tanya Chutkan’s prior admonitions to Trump that he refrain from making threatening or intimidating comments directed to the court, prosecutors, or witnesses, Trump lashed out with hostile assaults at “Deranged Jack Smith & his team of Thugs” and a “Trump Hating Judge” He appears to be testing how far he can take his rancor before he is slapped with contempt and remanded to custody. By some measures he has already crossed that line.

Meanwhile, Trump is bloviating over past compulsions such as his pair of impeachments. In one comment posted on his failing social media scam, Truth Social, Trump complains about what he regards as a fundamental unfairness that he suffered as compared to his arch foe, President Biden. But, as usual, he gets everything wrong. Trump wrote that…

“I NEVER HAD AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY, I HAD AN IMPEACHMENT, WHICH I WON! IT WAS STARTED IMMEDIATELY, NO MEETINGS, NO STUDY, NO DELAYS. THE LUNATIC FASCHISTS & MARXISTS PLAY THE GAME DIFFERENTLY. THEY ARE OUT TO DESTROY AMERICA. MAGA!”

First of all, Trump did not “win” his impeachment against the “FASCHISTS” (sic). His impeachment by the House of Representatives – twice – is a permanent part of the historical record. That isn’t changed by the Senate not having convicted him and removing him from office. And for the record, a majority of the Senate voted for conviction, including seven Republicans. But that did not meet the two-thirds vote necessary for conviction.

Trump is also wrong about there not having been an impeachment inquiry. In fact, House Speaker nancy Pelosi did initiate an inquiry prior to the eventual vote on the House floor. As reported at the time…

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Tuesday that the House of Representatives will open an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.”

What’s more, Pelosi’s formal announcement wasn’t even necessary because…

“[M]embers of the House Judiciary Committee said that they have already begun to consider passing articles of impeachment and that they are in an inquiry.”

In addition to these ravings, Trump posted a flagrant lie asserting that the special counsel “met with high officials at the White House just prior to these political SleazeBags Indicating me.” How dare those “SleazeBags” “indicate” Trump, whatever that means. Trump claims that those meetings are proof that “Biden and his Fascist Thugs” were engaging in “Election Interference.” Except that the truth is that Smith’s team was not colluding with the Biden administration. They were interviewing witnesses in the classified documents case who happened to be working in the White House, and were working there during Trump’s term.

And if that’s not enough malarkey from Trump, he also posted a comment asserting that…

“Biden is a Stone Cold Crook-You don’t need a long INQUIRY to prove it, it’s already proven. […] Either IMPEACH the BUM, or fade into OBLIVION. THEY DID IT TO US!”

Despite not having a shred of evidence of any wrongdoing by Biden, Trump is ready to convict him without trial. And he is threatening his Republican confederates to move forward with impeachment or be cast into “OBLIVION.” Sadly, the cowardly Republicans in the House are susceptible to Trump’s threats and all to willing to go along with Trump’s totalitarian tantrums.

Finally, Trump explicitly admits that his motivations are purely for revenge because “THEY DID IT TO US!” Although what was done (four criminal indictments on 91 felony charges) was done to him on the basis of mountains of evidence and testimony, mostly from Republicans and former Trump staffers. But the Trump cult isn’t interested in those pesky things the rest of us know as facts.

Poor Trump Whines that His Criminal Cases are Cramping His Jet Setting Golf Tourney Lifestyle

Posted by Mark NC on August 27, 2023 at 11:50 am. 2 Comments :

Who knew that committing 91 felonies among four criminal indictments would pose such a burden on someone’s time? And why didn’t someone warn Donald Trump that conspiring to illegally overturn an election, stealing classified documents, and inciting an insurrection, would so severely cut into one’s life of luxury?

Click here to Tweet this article

This is the tragedy that Trump finds himself in today as he tries to navigate the legal morass that he has made for himself. With cases pending in four jurisdictions, his calendar for the next few months is going to be filled with court dates and depositions and endless meetings with lawyers. Where will he find time to grift off of his gullible flock with pitches for worthless merchandise?

SEE THIS: Fox News is AGHAST that Biden Mock Fundraised Off of Trump’s Mugshot, Which Trump Did For Real

On Sunday Trump complained that his criminal undertakings have even cut into his jet setting lifestyle and at his international golf resorts. In a plaintive plea posted on his failing social media scam, Truth Social, Trump was despondent over having to miss a golf tournament in Scotland. He sobbed that…

“I have the Staysure Senior PGA Championship in Aberdeen, Scotland, on my great course, and I can’t go. I have to stay around and fight off the Crazed Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Marxists, and Fascists. I wouldn’t want to be in Europe and watch this COUNTRY DESTROYING Scum work their disgusting and illegal ‘magic’ on unsuspecting Republican ‘leaders’ who just don’t think it is appropriate to Fight Fire With Fire. BUT WE WILL WIN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

What a travesty! How could those sinister “Crazed Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Marxists, and Fascists” force this punishment on poor Donnie? It’s almost like they regard the Constitution as being more important than Trump’s “pursuit of happiness.” And his lily-livered Republican confederates aren’t any better.

In light of this trauma, it needs to be noted that Trump has been complaining that the proposed dates for his upcoming trials are too soon and won’t give him sufficient time to prepare his defense. Although it could be argued that there is no amount of time that is sufficient because he has no coherent defense. He’s so obviously guilty, and he knows it. And so do most of the American people…

More to the point, if Trump is so strapped for time, then why is he upset about not attending a golf tournament in Scotland, when he should be conferring with his attorneys? Well, at least the ones that are still working with him. Perhaps the prosecutors will notify the judges that if Trump has the time to fly off to Scotland for golf today, he’s got plenty of time to be ready for trial in January.

It is also notable that this weekend Trump had the time to participate in a senior golf tournament at his Bedminster, New Jersey, club. In that contest he claimed to have a won with a score of 67. Remarkably, that’s eight shots less than golf legend Phil Mickelson scored on the same course two weeks ago.

On Truth Social Trump assured his cult followers that, with regard to his score, “there is no hanky/lanky,” whatever that is, and that because he is “surrounded by Secret Service Agents” he couldn’t cheat, as if monitoring his golf score was part of their job description. Also, he is implying that he would have cheated if the Secret Service weren’t there, or watching.

Hopefully the judges in Trump’s various cases will take note of the abundance of leisure time in his schedule and book his court appearances accordingly. If Trump wanted more time to travel, play games, hold cult rallies, post online, and do suck-up interviews on right-wing media, maybe he should not have devoted himself to committing so many crimes. Now he needs to buckle down and help his lawyers come up with some marginally plausible lies in his defense. Which, given the realistic legal options available to them, shouldn’t take very long.

Fox News is AGHAST that Biden Mock Fundraised Off of Trump’s Mugshot, Which Trump Did For Real

Posted by Mark NC on August 26, 2023 at 12:33 pm. 3 Comments :

Last week Donald Trump made another appearance in court to be arrested and booked on his fourth criminal indictment. However, on this occasion, Trump was finally treated like any other defendant and required to pose for a mugshot. He had furiously fought that requirement, but was ultimately unsuccessful in getting the special treatment that he craved.

Click here to Tweet this article

Consequently, the United States now, for the first time ever, has a formal mugshot – or in Trump’s case a “smugshot” – of a former president that will forever be a part of the historical record. Trump has tried desperately to find some political advantage in this humiliation, but outside of of his smattering of glassy-eyed cult followers, the American people are not cooperating with Trump’s wounded ego.

SEE THIS: Post-Mugshot: Trump’s Phony Bravado Falls Apart as Poll Shows Most Americans Say He’s Guilty

Over at Trump’s Ministry of Propaganda – aka Fox News – there has been a spasm of spinning taking place to peddle a preposterous picture of Trump’s legal quagmire. And the up-sucking was led by Trump’s former press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, who is now a co-host of Fox’s “Outnumbered.” McEnany was bigly bothered by a lighthearted tweet posted by President Biden in the aftermath of the Trump mugshot reporting. Biden’s tweet said simply…

Apropos of nothing, I think today's a great day to give to my campaign. https://t.co/Tj5cURqgQT

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 24, 2023

Oh, the HORROR! Never mind that Biden never mentioned the mugshot, nor even Trump’s name. But to McEnany and Fox News it was tantamount to treason. McEnany whined to her colleagues that…

“What stuck out to me was that Biden is fundraising off of this. […] President Trump tweeted out that’s the time of his arrest, this goes out from Biden. ‘Apropos of nothing. I think today’s a great day to give to my campaign.’ It seems very suggestive of what was going on at 730, which was the arrest of Donald Trump. And I really think it’s a low point for a president to fundraise over the arrest of his political opponent.”

“A low point for a president”? Really? Lower than inciting an insurrection? Or lying to the FBI about stolen classified documents? Or threatening state officials in order to illegally overturn an election? Or being criminally indicted four times on 91 felony counts, which led to getting the mugshot in the first place?

What’s more, this “low point” of fundraising off of the mugshot that has Fox News so livid is apparently not a problem if it’s Trump who is doing it. Within a couple of hours after the mugshot was posted, Trump was not just making glancing references to it. He was hawking actual merchandise.

He’s got more trinkets to peddle to the rubes. pic.twitter.com/O4QH7YvC3h

— Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) August 25, 2023

Even worse, Trump aide Chris LaCivita posted a threat to anyone else who might dare to profit from Trump’s felonious face. In a testy Twitter tantrum, LaCivita warned that…

“If you are a campaign, PAC, scammer and you try raising money off the mugshot of @realDonaldTrump and you have not received prior permission …WE ARE COMING AFTER YOU … you will NOT SCAM DONORS.”

Of course, mugshots are public property and can be republished by anyone for any reason. So this is just more hollow griping by the grifting operation that Trump runs from the basement of his Mar-a-Lago bunker. It would be fun to see Trump try to sue Biden for allegedly misappropriating his repulsive image. And as for scamming donors, it’s clear why he is adamant about others not doing that. Because that’s Trump’s thing. He wants to be the only one scamming his gullible cult.

As for Biden, on Friday he was asked directly what he thought of Trump’s mugshot. In an amusingly glib, though diplomatic, reply, Biden smiled and quipped, “Handsome guy. Wonderful guy.” Can you imagine how Trump’s profanity-laced harangue under the same circumstances, complete with yammering about “radical Marxist thugs”? would have gone down?

Post-Mugshot: Trump’s Phony Bravado Falls Apart as Poll Shows Most Americans Say He’s Guilty

Posted by Mark NC on August 25, 2023 at 1:07 pm. 18 Comments :

On August 24, 2023, Donald Trump made history by becoming the first former president of the United States to be captured for posterity in a mugshot. That’s in addition to the record he set previously of having been criminally indicted four times with a total of 91 felony counts. Second place is a 45-way tie with zero indictments.

Click here to Tweet this article

True to form, Trump is pretending to be proud of these “accomplishments.” He claims that these multiple prosecutions are enhancing his popularity and electability. And, like any good wannabe messiah, Trump claims that’s he’s being persecuted for “your” sins, and that the Democratic demons are actually after you, but he’s just “in the way.”

SEE THIS: IT’S A CULT! Poll Shows Republicans Trust Only Criminal Messiah Trump to Tell Them the Truth

However, Trump’s cockiness is profoundly inapt. A new POLITICO Magazine/Ipsos poll reveals what the American people really think about Trump and his mounting legal liabilities. And not surprisingly, the results don’t align with Trump’s delusional distortion of reality. According to Politico…

“The survey results suggest Americans are taking the cases seriously — particularly the Justice Department’s 2020 election case — and that most people are skeptical of Trump’s claim to be the victim of a legally baseless witch hunt or an elaborate, multi-jurisdictional effort to ‘weaponize’ law enforcement authorities against him.”

What follows is a summary of Politico’s findings.

About half of the country believes Trump is guilty in the pending prosecutions.
“48 percent of respondents reporting that they believe Trump is guilty in [the Manhattan District Attorney’s] case [and] majorities said that they believe Trump is guilty in the other cases — 51 percent in the pending Justice Department and Fulton County prosecutions concerning the 2020 election, and 52 percent in the Justice Department’s classified documents case.” NOTE: This also includes a majority of independents.

Most Americans believe Trump should stand trial before the 2024 election.
“59% of respondents in the poll said that the federal trial in Trump’s 2020 election subversion case should take place before the 2024 Republican primaries begin early next year. A slightly higher number — 61 percent of all respondents — said that the trial should take place before the general election next November.” NOTE: This includes 63% of Independents and even 33% of Republicans.

A conviction in DOJ’s 2020 election case would hurt Trump in the general election.
“Nearly one-third of respondents (32 percent) said that a conviction in the case would make them less likely to support Trump, including about one-third of independents (34 percent).”

Half of the country believes Trump should go to prison if convicted in DOJ’s Jan. 6 case.
“50% of respondents said that he should go to prison, including a large majority of Democrats (87 percent) and a slight majority of independents (51 percent).”

Trump and the GOP’s ‘weaponization’ defense appears to be having limited traction.
“Fifty-nine percent of respondents — including nearly two-thirds of independents — said that the Justice Department’s decision to indict Trump in the 2020 election case was based on a fair evaluation of the evidence and the law. […] In fact, more people (53%) believe Trump is guilty of weaponizing the legal system than Biden.”

Trump is the prevailing villain in the story of his indictments
“Respondents provided Trump with a net favorability rating of -31 percent — the worst figure, by far, in this battery of questions.” NOTE: President Biden, Merrick Garland, Jack Smith, and the Justice Department all scored far more favorably.

Given the results of this poll, it is no wonder that Trump’s psychological state has suffered a severe decline. But it is still astonishing that, under these circumstances, Republicans are scrambling to bolster their defense for – and support of – Trump, as the American people become ever more disgusted and repulsed by both Trump and his sycophantic party confederates. All in all, this bodes well for Democrats next year.

Trump is So Afraid of DA Fani Willis He is Frantically Pushing Phony Efforts to Impeach Her

Posted by Mark NC on August 21, 2023 at 5:10 pm. 3 Comments :

The legal tribulations of Donald Trump are becoming more distressing to him every day as he realizes the trouble he’s in for having been an incorrigible criminal and an aspiring authoritarian. His 91 felony counts amassed in four criminal indictments is weighing heavily on his diseased psyche that can’t handle a reality wherein he is not the Supreme Ruler.

Click here to Tweet this article

The most recent indictment of Trump may be the most harrowing of all. It charges him with violations of the RICO Act (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations). Conviction on some of these charges carry mandatory prison sentences. And Fani Willis, the District Attorney of Fulton County, Georgia, where a Grand Jury of citizens delivered the indictment, has abundant evidence to find Trump guilty. That may explain why he has lashed out her with repulsive and dishonest slander.

SEE THIS: Trump Lashes Out at Georgia Prosecutor After New Evidence of His Election Fraud is Revealed

On Monday Trump took to his failing social media sham, Truth Social, to attack Willis. Which he has been doing repeatedly for months. He seems to think, in his demented state, that this sort of vicious harassment advances his case. He’s going to be sorely disappointed. But in the meantime, he persists in his impotent bullying, posting threats that bear no perceivable effect other than than affirming his ignorance and fear…

“Governor Kemp of Georgia is fighting hard against the Impeachment of the crooked, incompetent, & highly partisan D.A. of Fulton County, Fani Willis, […] She should be impeached for many reasons, not just the Witch Hunt (I did nothing wrong!).”

Clearly Trump is obsessed with eliminating Willis. Which is peculiar considering that he regards her as “incompetent.” You would think that a defendant would prefer an incompetent prosecutor. Especially a defendant who says that he has “Massive and Conclusive Proof” of his innocence. In fact, Trump recently said that he would hold a press conference to reveal his “Irrefutable REPORT” of election fraud that would result in “a complete EXONERATION!”

Trump later canceled his press conference on the advice of his attorneys, who were surely worried that he would just further incriminate himself. And no one believes that he has any exculpatory evidence anyway. If he did, why did he wait nearly three years to pretend to present, even though he never presented it in more than sixty court cases, or innumerable television appearances, or at any of his cult rallies?

What’s more Trump’s whining about Willis came along with a link to a story on Fox News (which he has a bizarre love/hate relationship with) that actually reported the weakness of his claims that Willis should be removed from the case or impeached….

“Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s office says the state senator [Colton Moore] seeking to impeach the prosecutor handling the Georgia case against former President Donald Trump has not provided evidence that he has the necessary support to call a special session.”

Gov. Brian Kemp hasn't received 'any evidence' state Sen. Moore has majority necessary for Willis impeachment https://t.co/SbrMssHBTb

— Fox News (@FoxNews) August 18, 2023

So even Fox News is reporting that the Republican governor and legislature of Georgia haven’t met the necessary requirements to oust Willis. The article reported that Moore was taking this action because of his baseless, hyperbolic view that “America is under attack,” rather than for any coherent reasons related to alleged improprieties. Kemp’s senior advisor, Cody Hall, replied with a stinging rebuke, saying…

“Where have I heard special session, changing decades-old law, and overturning constitutional precedent before? Oh right, prior to Republicans losing two Senate runoffs in January of 2021. What are people hoping to learn in the second kick of the election-losing mule?”

It’s more like 5,000th “kick of the election-losing mule” But what do you expect from the leader of sick cult that actually believes that Trump tells them the truth more than “conservative media figures, religious leaders, and even their own friends and family.”

YEAH, RIGHT! Trump Promises an ‘Irrefutable,’ ‘Completely Exonerating’ Report on Election Fraud

Posted by Mark NC on August 15, 2023 at 1:30 pm. 5 Comments :

The dimensions of Donald Trump’s delusions have become far too vast to measure by any modern standards. He has never been particularly stable psychologically, but as his legal peril has escalated in recent weeks, his mental state has suffered a total collapse. The evidence of his decline can be seen in each new outburst on his failing social media sham, Truth Social.

Click here to Tweet this article

On Monday Trump was served his fourth criminal indictment that raised his total of felony counts to 91. That’s a presidential record that will likely survive for decades in a competition where second place is a 45-way tie with zero indictments. Even before the announcement of the new charges, Trump displayed his disturbingly decaying mood in a series of comments that are textbook projection of his madness onto his perceived persecutors…

SEE THIS: UPDATE on Donald Trump’s Deteriorating Mental State

Following the fourth indictment announcement by Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis, who he has been viciously slandering, Trump managed to actually exceed the severity of those remarks with a posting that can’t be described as anything less than utterly deranged. He unleashed a harangue that would be laughable, were it not equally as frightening, considering that he still has millions of glassy-eyed disciples who worship him. He raged that…

“A Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable REPORT on the Presidential Election Fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete & will be presented by me at a major News Conference at 11:00 A.M. on Monday of next week in Bedminster, New Jersey. Based on the results of this CONCLUSIVE Report, all charges should be dropped against me & others – There will be a complete EXONERATION! They never went after those that Rigged the Election. They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!”

Fantastic! After nearly three years, Trump is finally promising to deliver the “CONCLUSIVE” evidence of fraud that he has been claiming to have, despite never presenting it in more than sixty court cases, or innumerable television appearances, or at any of his cult rallies. But in this upcoming press conference it’s all going to be laid out. And if you believe that, he also has a healthcare plan, an infrastructure bill, and a border wall paid for by Mexico, to sell you.

Trump appears to have forgotten that he previously promised to blow the lid off of the election fraudsters with a report compiled by a team of professional researchers that he hired to expose the Democratic “RIGGERS.” There’s just one problem with that report. It failed to show any voting irregularities that could have come remotely close to changing the outcome of the election.

Consequently, Trump buried it, hoping that it would never see the light of day. Unfortunately for Trump, insiders at the research firm talked to the Washington Post, who published a story on the report that Trump tried to kill.

“Former president Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign commissioned an outside research firm in a bid to prove electoral-fraud claims but never released the findings because the firm disputed many of his theories and could not offer any proof that he was the rightful winner of the election. […] None of the findings were presented to the public or in court.”

Nevertheless, Trump still insists that his new findings will change everything. And that after they are disclosed “all charges should be dropped against me & others – There will be a complete EXONERATION!” That’s something that Trump has promised for years. But for some reason, he hasn’t followed through until – we are now told – this coming Monday. Although it is not the first time that he has demanded that all charges against him be dropped…

And so, as Trump also posted, “The Witch Hunt continues! 19 people Indicated (sic) tonight, including the former President of the United States, me, by an out of control and very corrupt District Attorney.” Never mind that his personal insults directed at prosecutors, judges, and potential witnesses, are as baseless as they are childish. But then, no one expects more than that from Trump given how far he is past his emotional expiration date.

UPDATE I: “Sources tell ABC News that Trump’s legal advisers have told him that holding such a press conference with dubious claims of voter fraud will only complicate his legal problems and some of his attorneys have advised him to cancel it.”

UPDATE II: SURPRISE: Trump has canceled his Monday press conference. In a post on Truth Social he wrote that…

“Rather than releasing the Report on the Rigged & Stolen Georgia 2020 Presidential Election on Monday, my lawyers would prefer putting this, I believe, Irrefutable & Overwhelming evidence of Election Fraud & Irregularities in formal Legal Filings as we fight to dismiss this disgraceful Indictment by a publicity & campaign finance seeking D.A., who sadly presides over a record breaking Murder & Violent Crime area, Atlanta. Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary!”

Trump obviously has no “irrefutable” evidence. If he did he would have disclosed it long ago. And there is nothing stopping him from releasing it now, other than the fact that it doesn’t exist. Now he’s using his lawyers to chicken out of his ill-advised press conference where he would likely have made comments that incriminated him further. His claim that he will put his evidence/lies in legal filings is preposterous. No credible judge would tolerate it. What’s more, anything he puts in those filings opens the door for prosecutors to investigate his alleged sources.

LOCK HIM UP! Trump’s Vile Lies About Judge Violate Court Orders to Cease Inflammatory Statements

Posted by Mark NC on August 14, 2023 at 12:48 pm. 4 Comments :

Another day, another display by Donald Trump of rancid acrimony and hatred smothered in dishonesty and a determination to deceive weak-minded cultists and to foment violence. These outpourings of Trump’s dark and venomous visions serve only as futile attempts to pacify his fears and to suck funds from his glassy-eyed disciples.

Click here to Tweet this article

Last week Trump was given a stern warning by Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presiding over his election fraud and coup attempt case in Washington, D.C. She warned him that any further “inflammatory statements” regarding the case, including those aimed at prosecutors and witnesses, would result in harsh consequences that “would force her to speed his trial on charges related to his bid to subvert the 2020 election.” Trump managed to restrain himself for a few hours, but now he is, as expected, reverting to his familiar form of infantile insults as his total lack of self control reasserts itself.

SEE THIS: OH MY: Judge Warns Trump that His ‘Inflammatory Statements’ Could Hasten His Legal Horror Story

However, after having been explicitly ordered to refrain from such rhetoric, Trump’s outbursts are now justification for sanctions by the court, which can include anything from financial penalties to incarceration. And the determination of his breach of judicial orders is not a close call. On his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, Trump raged that…

“Judge Tanya Chutkan—an Obama leftwing activist judge in DC, whose husband also got appointed by Obama as a DC judge—openly admitted she’s running election interference against Trump.”

Of course, Judge Chutkan never “admitted” any such thing. What Trump is referring to is part of her admonition last week wherein she told Trump that…

“What the defendant is currently doing — the fact that he’s running a political campaign has to yield to the orderly administration of justice. If that means he can’t say exactly what he wants to say about witnesses in this case, that’s how it has to be”

In other words, Chutkan is treating Trump like any other criminal defendant who would not be permitted to attack or intimidate people associated with the trial. She is actually being rather lenient by not subjecting him to a full-on gag order. She further noted that,,,

“Mr. Trump, like every American, has a First Amendment right to free speech. But that right is not aboslute… Defendant’s free speech is subject to the release conditions imposed at arraignment and it must yield to the orderly administration of justice.”

Undeterred by the judge’s warnings, Trump re-posted a comment that maligned the integrity of the court, saying that “Donald Trump is not going to get a fair shake in DC, the home of the swamp.” He disparaged the jury pool saying that the people of D.C. “support a double-standard of justice” and that the prosecution was a “politicized case.” And he then extended his assault to special counsel Jack Smith, saying…

“How dare lowlife prosecutor, Deranged Jack Smith, break into my former Twitter account without informing me and, indeed, trying to completely hide this atrocity from me. What could he possibly find out that is not already known. Just like the early morning raid of Mar-a-Lago! Why isn’t the DOJ raiding Crooked Joe Biden, the most CORRUPT (and Incompetent!) President in the history of the United States?”

For the record, it is routine for prosecutors to seek communications by defendants that could provide evidence of wrongdoing, conspiracy, and consciousness of guilt. And such probes are rarely disclosed to the subject to prevent them from tampering with, or destroying the evidence. As for why President Biden was not the subject of raids, it is quite simply because, unlike Trump, he always cooperated with law enforcement and never lied to them as Trump did.

Trump also accused Chutkan of being a “highly partisan Judge [who] obviously wants me behind bars. VERY BIASED & UNFAIR!” His “proof” of that were comments she made in the sentencing of one of Trump’s insurrectionists, wherein she accurately described the January 6th StormTrumpers as “people who mobbed the Capitol [and] were there in fealty, in loyalty, to one man — not to the Constitution.”

Given the unequivocal ugliness of Trump’s statements, and how flagrantly they violate the court orders, Judge Chutkan should seriously consider sanctioning Trump. Failing to do so would only embolden him to engage in more attacks and intimidation. It’s long past time that he be held accountable.

Trump Lashes Out at Georgia Prosecutor After New Evidence of His Election Fraud is Revealed

Posted by Mark NC on August 13, 2023 at 11:57 am. 4 Comments :

Nothing is a more reliable gauge of Donald Trump’s deteriorating mental state than his own rancid ravings on Truth Social, his floundering Twitter ripoff. Every posting is a marker of a new low for his paranoia, fear, malignant narcissism, and seething hatred of anything or anyone that is less than wholly worshipful.

Click here to Tweet this article

Last week Trump got a brutal smackdown by Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over his election fraud and coup attempt case in Washington, D.C. She warned him that any further “inflammatory statements” regarding the case, including those aimed at prosecutors and witnesses, would result in harsh consequences that “would force her to speed his trial on charges related to his bid to subvert the 2020 election.”

SEE THIS: OH MY: Judge Warns Trump that His ‘Inflammatory Statements’ Could Hasten His Legal Horror Story

Surprisingly, That admonition appears to have had some effect. Ever since the warning was given, Trump has totally refrained from the vile commentaries he had been disgorging. Don’t expect that to continue, however, as Trump’s notorious temper and infantile lack of self control is likely to reassert itself, resulting in more violations of the judge’s order.

In the meantime, things are heating up in Georgia, where Fani Willis, the District Attorney of Fulton County, is said to be preparing his fourth criminal indictment. A new report has uncovered evidence that Trump and his anti-democratic accomplices exchanged emails and texts wherein they discussed a scheme to breach voting systems as part of their effort to overturn the election. According To CNN…

“Sources tell CNN that Atlanta prosecutors have text messages and emails that directly connect members of Trump’s legal team [and Trump] to the 2021 breach of a voting system.”

As a result of these new developments, Trump is now lambasting Willis in the most unsavory manner. He is spreading vicious lies about her personal life, alleging that she “is being accused of having an ‘affair’ with a Gang Member of a group that she is prosecuting.” Of course, those accusations are entirely without any factual basis, and are being made by disreputable MAGA cultists. And since Trump can’t smear Judge Chutkan and special counsel Jack Smith anymore, he is now bashing Willis and the Georgia prosecution, saying that…

“The only Election Interference that took place in Fulton County, Georgia, was done by those that Rigged and Stole the Election, not by me, who simply complained that the Election was Rigged and Stolen. We have Massive and Conclusive Proof.”

For the record, Trump did not “simply complain” about the election being “Rigged and Stolen.” He pressured the governor of Georgia and other election officials to illegally “find” 11,780 more votes to put him over the top in the state. He also threatened them with prosecution if they declined to comply with his demands.

What’s more, if Trump has “Massive and Conclusive Proof” of the election rigging he alleges, why has he kept it all to himself for nearly three years? And why didn’t he provide it in any of the sixty election fraud court cases that he lost? Why doesn’t he just release it now and clear his badly stained name, rather than whining impotently and throwing tantrums?

On Saturday, Trump was asked at an appearance in Iowa if he “defend[s] the actions by your allies in Georgia following the 2020 election?” This seems to be a reference to the CNN story about breaching voting systems in Georgia. Trump replied that…

“Many of the allies I don’t know because we have so many allies. So I don’t know exactly what you’re talking about.”

Question: Do you defend the actions by your allies in Georgia following the 2020 election?

If you replace “allies” with “accomplices,” this answer would make more sense. Trump does have too many accomplices committing too many crimes to keep track of, poor guy. As his avenues to vindication seal up, his outbursts get ever more desperate and preposterous. And this is just the beginning as none of his trials have even commenced yet. Fasten you seat belts, America.

UPDATE: Trump resumed his attacks on Judge Chutkan, in violation of court orders to refrain from “inflammatory statements.”

OH MY: Judge Warns Trump that His ‘Inflammatory Statements’ Could Hasten His Legal Horror Story

Posted by Mark NC on August 11, 2023 at 1:56 pm. 12 Comments :

The latest indictment of Donald Trump – his third so far – is moving expeditiously through the process of coming to trial. Needless to say, this is triggering severe anxiety for Trump who knows that he is guilty and is terrified of having to face the consequences of his criminal acts.

Facing this unprecedented legal peril, Trump has resorted to his standard mode of response: Unhinged outrage and hostility directed at his perceived persecutors. Just like his reactions to his previous indictments, Trump is lashing out hysterically at everyone involved, including the lawyers, the judges, and the Justice Department, who are all just doing their jobs. And it is having a profound impact on his emotional stability, or lack thereof…

SEE THIS: UPDATE on Donald Trump’s Deteriorating Mental State

On Friday morning Judge Tanya Chutkan held a hearing in order to determine the terms of a proposed protective order regarding the handling of evidence that he receives from special counsel Jack Smith during discovery. Chutkan ruled mostly in favor of the terms requested by Trump’s attorney, only prohibiting the use of certain sensitive information, such as Grand Jury testimony. However, Judge Chutkan went a bit farther to preserve the integrity and fairness of the trial. According to Politico…

“U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan warned Donald Trump and his attorney Friday that repeated ‘inflammatory’ statements about his latest criminal prosecution would force her to speed his trial on charges related to his bid to subvert the 2020 election.

“‘I caution you and your client to take special care in your public statements about this case,’ Chutkan told Trump lawyer John Lauro during a hearing. ‘I will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard the integrity of these proceedings.'”

In other words, if Trump insists on making the sort of incendiary remarks for which he is infamous, it could result in the trial date being moved forward in order to prevent him from causing further harm and from tainting the jury pool. Trump has already made it clear that he is opposed to the January 2, 2024, trial date that the special counsel has proposed. Making it earlier would only compound his anger and fear. Except when he he’s whining that it wasn’t early enough. The judge went on to say that…

“‘The fact that he’s running apolitical campaign has to yield to the orderly administration of justice,’ Chutkan said. ‘If that means he can’t say exactly what he wants to say about witnesses in this case, that’s how it has to be.’

“‘Even arguably ambiguous statements from parties or their counsel, if they can be reasonably interpreted to intimidate witnesses or to prejudice potential jurors, can threaten the process,’ Chutkan added later.”

Judge Chutkan is making it clear that she will not tolerate the sort of disruptive and childish behavior that Trump exhibits in his social media rants and at his cult rallies. If he fails to comply with these instructions, there will be repercussion that he will surely regret. She even ordered that “Trump would be required to review [sensitive] information without any electronic devices” to prevent him from improperly making copies.

The problem for Trump is that he has never shown the discipline or maturity to be able to curtail his worst impulses. And the likelihood that he will violate Chutkan’s instructions is inevitable. He believes that he is almighty and infallible.

It’s the same self-delusion that got him into this trouble in the first place by refusing to accept that he lost the election, and then stealing classified materials and hoarding them at his Mar-a-Lago hotel/home. And he regards any criticism of him as tantamount to treason. Under the circumstance, Chutkan may have been to lenient.

UPDATE I: Over 24 hours after Judge Chutkan’s admonition, Trump has not posted a single comment maligning Jack Smith or his case against Trump’s election lies and attempted coup. Has he been scared into silence? Don’t bet on it. His manic compulsions are strong and may just be temporarily stunned.

UPDATE II: As expected, Trump has resumed his attacks on Judge Chutkan, in violation of court orders to refrain from “inflammatory statements.”

Trump Demands Indictments Be Withdrawn After Fox News Falsely Reports on January 6th Committee

Posted by Mark NC on August 9, 2023 at 12:13 pm. 12 Comments :

The rapidly deteriorating mental state of Donald Trump has been evident since at least November of 2020 when he decisively lost the presidential election to Joe Biden, a man he tried (and failed) to malign as a senile communist. And Trump’s debilitating dementia has not been helped by his mounting legal peril.

Click here to Tweet this article

Trump has now been indicted three times on 78 felony counts, with more to come. This has resulted in his relentless stream of fear-drenched comments on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, bemoaning his pitiful victimhood at the hands of political foes that he apparently concedes are smarter and stronger than he is. Even Fox News is having trouble defending Trump without inadvertently portraying him as feeble and failing.

Late Tuesday night Trump exercised his thumb muscles to post several comments expressing his dismay over something that he saw on Fox News. Never mind that he has lately been trashing the network for not adoring him enough, he still watches faithfully and, like many other elderly American right-wingers, gets his daily dose of outrage from their propaganda spewers.

What Trump saw on this occasion was a segment on Jesse Watters’ program alleging that the House Select Committee that investigated the January 6th insurrection that Trump incited had destroyed materials it had accumulated during their probe. Watters, and subsequently Trump, were incensed at what they considered to be proof that the Committee was suppressing evidence. Trump raged…

“So now that I have full Subpoena Power because of the Freedom of Speech Sham Indictment by Crooked Joe Biden, Deranged Jack Smith, and the DOJ, it has just been reported that the Unselect January 6th Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs has illegally destroyed their Records and Documents. This is unthinkable, and the Fake Political Indictment against me must be immediately withdrawn. The system is Rigged & Corrupt, very much like the Presidential Election of 2020. We are a Nation in Decline!”

Skipping over the routine infantile nicknames and insults, the subpoena power that Trump is drooling over comes with his being a defendant on dozens of federal criminal charges. Which is nothing to brag about. However, if thinks that he will be able to use it to compel testimony regarding the January 6th Committee, he’s even nuttier than we thought. Special counsel Jack Smith has not charged Trump with anything related to the riots on January 6th. So any attempts to subpoena testimony from the Committee will likely be challenged and dismissed.

What’s more, Trump is badly misguided if he thinks that his indictments will be withdrawn over this. For one thing, the claim that records were illegally destroyed is utterly false. And Trump’s whining that “these Indictments aren’t “Legit,” they were all thrown up at me, quickly an haphazardly,” is particularly comical, since he has also been complaining bitterly that the indictments came too slowly and should have come two and half years ago. Which would have been in January of 2021, just days after the insurrection and before the stolen classified documents were found at Mar-a-Lago.

The reporting by Watters likely came from a Fox News report that was typically filled with innuendo and lies. The entire report was based solely on information provided to Fox by ultra-MAGA GOP congressman, Barry Loudermilk.

The January 6th Committee chairman, Benny Thompson, responded to Loudermilk saying that his letter contained “factual errors” and that “the committee had followed the rules and turned over ‘4 terabytes’ of data.'” Thompson further disclosed that the Committee had fully complied with “guidance from the Office of the Clerk and other authorities” as to preserving and archiving documents. Only “temporary” records that were not part of the Committee’s probe were not preserved. Neither Loudermilk nor the Fox News article provided any evidence that any relevant documents were withheld or, as Trump alleged, were “Discarded, Deleted, [or] Thrown Out.” The Committee’s report, and supporting materials, are all available online.

So as usual, this is another nothingburger courtesy of the GOP Crackpot Conspiracy Complex. All it does is give Trump material to freak out over, and Fox News another few days of falsehoods to tack onto the news cycle. It’s further proof that all they have left are baseless accusations and factless gossip. Fortunately for them, their cult followers eat that crapola up.
