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.

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.

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.

Click here to Tweet this article

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.”

UPDATE on Donald Trump’s Deteriorating Mental State

Posted by Mark NC on August 10, 2023 at 5:16 pm. 15 Comments :

It’s hard to imagine that someone with the psychotic dysfunction of Donald Trump ever occupied the White House. But this is where we are as he melts down ever further in the face of serious and escalating legal peril that, so far, includes three criminal indictments on 78 felony counts.

Click here to Tweet this article

On Thursday Trump posted the following comments on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, all within about twelve hours. These remarks hardly need any elaboration. They tell the story of a severely damaged person who is suffering from paranoia, delusions of grandeur, and malignant narcissism.

1: “What Crooked Joe Biden, who can’t string two sentences together, has done to our once great Country […] OUR COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED BY A MAN WITH THE MIND, IDEAS, AND I.Q. OF A FIRST GRADER.”

2:”I think that Crooked Joe Biden is not only dumb and incompetent, I believe he has gone MAD, a stark raving Lunatic […] HE IS A MENTAL CATASTROPHE THAT IS LEADING OUR COUNTRY TO HELL!”

3: “Deranged Jack Smith has just asked for a trial on the Biden Indictment to take place on January 2nd., […] Only an out of touch lunatic would ask for such a date.”

And as a bonus, Trump re-posted a comment from ultra-MAGA blogger and Trump messiah disciple, Wayne Allyn Root, that said simply “Donald Trump is ‘the Chosen One.'” And this is the guy that most Republicans want to return to the White House and have the nuclear codes?

These are cries for help from a diseased mind that is fixated on his fears and projecting mental maladies onto his foes. Trump will not recover from this sickness without help from his family, friends, and professional psychiatric therapy. Which he is unlikely to get since his family and friends couldn’t care less, and/or are dependent on his madness for their own welfare. Meanwhile, America, and the world, suffers. At least until Trump is convicted, sentenced, and defeated in the next election.

Trump Attacks Pence on Truth Social After Told By Judge to Refrain From Witness Intimidation

Posted by Mark NC on August 5, 2023 at 4:40 pm. 9 Comments :

WOW, it’s finally happened! Not that it wasn’t entirely expected. Less than 48 hours after Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presiding over the latest indictments by special counsel Jack Smith, “reminded Trump it is a crime to intimidate a juror, bribe anyone or obstruct the administration of justice,” Trump has done so – twice.

Click here to Tweet this article

The first time came on Friday when Trump posted a comment on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, that was an overt threat to any variety of persons that could be associated with the case. He shouted in all caps, “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” Let that be a warning to all of you judges, jurors, witnesses, congresspersons, and journalists. And Trump is especially mad at the prosecutors who are doing their duty to uphold the law.

SEE THIS: Trump’s Pathetic ‘Welcome to the Fraud Squad’ Meme Doesn’t Mean What He Thinks it Means

However, that threat apparently didn’t satisfy Trump’s lust for blood. So on Saturday he decided to go after a specific witness in the upcoming trial, his former Vice-President, Mike Pence, who was a target for hanging by Trump’s January 6th insurrectionists. Trump yelped that…

“WOW, it’s finally happened! Liddle’ Mike Pence, a man who was about to be ousted as Governor Indiana until I came along and made him V.P., has gone to the Dark Side. I never told a newly emboldened (not based on his 2% poll numbers!) Pence to put me above the Constitution, or that Mike was ‘too honest.’ He’s delusional, and now he wants to show he’s a tough guy. I once read a major magazine article on Mike. It said he was not a very good person. I was surprised, but the article was right. Sad!”

Trump is now characterizing Pence as “a man who was about to be ousted as Governor,” and has “gone to the dark side,” a place that Trump should know well. A few days ago he said Pence was “flawed and failing.” Isn’t it comforting that this is the sort of man that Trump elevated to being once removed from the presidency? Although, he has pretty much disparaged his entire Cabinet in the same fashion. Which may be one reason that out of dozens of people who worked in the Trump administration, only four have endorsed him, and most of the others say he is unfit for office.

Trump was triggered by citations in the latest indictment wherein Trump told Pence that he was “too honest” when Pence refused to go along with Trump’s scheme to undermine democracy. And he was surely upset that that Pence was making money selling “Too Honest” t-shirts. More to the point, Trump was angry because his plot to halt the certification Joe Biden’s election by the Congress on January 6, 2021 was foiled by Pence’s “disloyalty.” That constitutionally mandated event was interrupted by the rioters that Trump incited.

Trump’s denial that he made the comment is, like most of what Trump says, hardly believable. Particularly because Pence said it in contemporaneous notes that special counsel Smith included in his indictment. So Pence made those remarks two years ago, while he was still Trump’s VP, and long before he was running for president. As reported by the Associated Press…

“The 45-page indictment is informed, in part, by contemporaneous notes that Pence kept of their conversations in the days leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, as Trump tried to pressure Pence to go along with his desperate — and prosecutors say illegal — scheme to keep the two men in power.

“Among the discussions: an episode in which Trump is alleged to have told Pence that he was “too honest” for rejecting Trump’s false claims that Pence had the power to overturn the vote. “Bottom line — won every state by 100,000s of votes,” Trump said in another conversation, according to the indictment.”

Smith filed a motion on Saturday for a protective order following Trump’s first threat. The judge told the Trump camp to respond by 5:00 pm Monday. Trump’s attorneys then filed for an extension. But the judge quickly denied that.

Now this new threat may add some more spice to the ongoing melodrama. But one thing remains certain: The more Trump speaks, the more trouble he gets himself into. So we can expect more of the same going forward.

Trump’s Pathetic ‘Welcome to the Fraud Squad’ Meme Doesn’t Mean What He Thinks it Means

Posted by Mark NC on August 5, 2023 at 12:36 pm. 2 Comments :

Poor Donald Trump. He is convinced that he is social media’s top influencer and the Internet’s premiere meme artist. But to the contrary, he is a pitiful geezer barking at his glassy-eyed cult followers on his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, which is hemorrhaging both cash and users as it struggles to avoid the mounting legal turmoil that is threatening its extinction.

Click here to Tweet this article

If it seems like each new day brings more indictments against Trump, it isn’t your imagination. He pleaded not guilty on both Thursday and Friday this week to new felony counts (78 so far) of undermining democracy and obstruction of justice. Which is ironic considering what Trump said back in 2016 about Hillary Clinton, who has racked up a total of zero indictments…

SEE THIS: Donald Trump: Presidential Candidates Under Felony Indictment Have ‘No Right to Be Running’

Trump’s flaming fear of finally being held to account for his lifetime of crime has been on full display. He is lashing out furiously at his perceived enemies with rancid and infantile insults at politicians and the press. But most of all, Trump is super mad at the prosecutors who are doing their duty to uphold the law.

Trump has frequently lobbed accusations of racism at Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, New York Attorney General, Letitia James, and Fulton County, Georgia D.A., Fani Willis, all of whom are Black. And he has repeatedly referred to special counsel Jack Smith as a “deranged” “leftist” “thug” who is doing the bidding of “Crooked” Joe Biden. Never mind that neither Biden, nor his Attorney General Merrick Garland, have had anything to do with Smith’s investigation or indictments. That’s why independent special counsels are appointed.

None of that, however, has deterred Trump from making wild and wholly unsupported claims of “prosecutorial misconduct” and “election interference.” And on Friday Trump summed up his outrage in a meme (posted above) that puts his idiocy on exhibit for the world to see.

The meme features a picture of Biden and the four prosecutors (so far) that are probing Trump’s multitude of crimes. He calls them “The Fraud Squad.” But the problem with that is that Trump’s limited capabilities with the English language make this meme a compliment, rather than the attack that he intended.

Just like the “Homicide Squad” goes after murderers, and the “Vice Squad” goes after crimes of moral offenses (gambling, prostitution, drugs), the Fraud Squad would go after swindlers, hustlers, and con men. In other words, Trump. Therefore, his graphic is actually a tribute to the President and the law enforcement officials who are seeking to bring Trump to justice.

Trump’s rap sheet for fraud is long and well documented. His phony “university” was shut down and he was ordered to pay $25 million to his victims. His New York charity, the Trump Foundation, was also shuttered and he and his family were prohibited from running any other non-profits in the state for five years.

In addition to his misdirected meme, Trump also posted an overt threat just hours after he was warned not to do so by Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing his case in Washington, D.C. He raged that “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”

Trump posts threat to… Prosecutors? Judges? Jurors? Witnesses? Congress? Press? All of the above?

Is Trump running to be president or mob boss? pic.twitter.com/654cTJPvrA

Set aside that Trump’s threats are feeble flustering that he doesn’t have the fortitude to follow through on. They are nevertheless dangerous because they are signals to his cult disciples who might be crazy enough to carry out his retribution for him. Then they would suffer the consequences of arrest and imprisonment while Trump bellies up to the breakfast bar and crashes weddings at his Mar-a-Lago resort. Which is likely where the Fraud Squad will find him after he is convicted and they are ready to transport him to the penitentiary.

Fox News Says People Won’t Care About the Trump Indictments Unless They Involve Sex and Bribes

Posted by Mark NC on August 2, 2023 at 11:57 am. 2 Comments :

Now that Donald Trump has been indicted for the third time – which is three times more than any other former American president – his Ministry of Propaganda (aka Fox News) has deployed their Trump Defense Force in an attempt whitewash his crimes as either insignificant or politically motivated.

Click here to Tweet this article

The knee-jerk nullification of the serious felonies that Trump has been charged with is typical for Fox News and the broader MAGA media that faithfully disinform his cult followers. However, the arguments asserted by his advocates are pitifully devoid of logic or any rational factual basis. In that respect they are taking their cues from Trump himself.

SEE THIS: Trump is OUTRAGED He Wasn’t Indicted Years Ago, While Desperately Trying to Delay His Trials

The most common complaint by the Trump thumpers is that the latest batch of indictments are partisan efforts to step on his First Amendment rights. But that could not be further from the truth. The problem with that assertion is that Trump is not being charged for what he said, but for what he did. If he merely made comments about objecting to the election results, he would not have been indicted. This was addressed in the third paragraph of the indictment, which reads…

“The Defendant has a right, like every American, to speak publicly about the election and even to claim, falsely, that there had been outcome-derivative fraud during the election and that he had won, He was also entitled to formally challenge the results of the election through lawful and appropriate means, such as by seeking recounts or audits of the popular vote in states or filing lawsuits challenging ballots and procedures. Indeed, in many cases, the Defendant did pursue these methods of contesting election results. His efforts to change the outcome in any state through recounts, audits, or legal challenges were uniformly unsuccessful.”

Trump went way beyond merely expressing his disagreement or disappoint with having decisively lost to now President Joe Biden, or the man Trump called “Sleepy Joe.” He took actions to pressure election officials to “find votes” and change outcomes, to conspire to obstruct the constitutionally mandated duties of Congress to certify the election, to illegally assemble slates of fake electors. All of which amounted to the deprivation of the rights of American citizens to have their votes counted.

As an example of the pathetic efforts to sanctify Dear Leader Trump of any and all wrongdoing, Jesse Watters of Fox News delivered a tedious monologue that typified the rest of the network’s coordinated narrative. He dismissed everything related to Trump’s role in the January 6th insurrection that he incited. Watters raged that “A lot of people don’t even know what January 6th was. […] And for the people that watched it on TV, they’re over it.”

Bullsh*t Any patriotic American who saw what happened on January 6th will live with that horror for the rest of their lives. Which speaks to the utter lack of patriotism on the part of Jesse Watters. He then went on to say that people don’t care about Trump having stolen and hoarded classified documents either. Apparently his view is that the American people don’t care if their leaders incite insurrections, stage coups, undermine democracy, or put national security at risk. So what does he think people care about? …

“In the nineties, you had sex. It was titillating. People were very focused on it. It was a different culture back then. If you find cash bribes that go into Biden’s offshore bank accounts, that’s going to light up the country. […] OK, sex and cash bribes. That’s going to do it. Documents and January 6th is not going to do it.”

Jesse Watters: "This is overkill. This is political germ warfare. These are political war crimes." pic.twitter.com/QuFaB1shFX

— Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) August 1, 2023

And there you have it. According to Fox News only crimes that include sex and bribes are worthy of the nation’s attention. And it’s all that anyone will care about. In defense of Watters, he is probably right if he’s talking only about Fox News viewers. Although he is missing an important detail among the criminal activities that Trump engaged in. Trump’s previous indictment for financial fraud was due to his having paid hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels to buy her silence. In other words, it was about sex and bribes.

In the same rant, Watters whined that Trump’s indictments were “overkill” and “political germ warfare” and “political war crimes.” He called them “an atrocity,” that is “like not just dropping one atomic bomb. You drop 15 dozen.” And he warned that if Trump reelected he would “unleash hell on all of his enemies,” saying that “You think he’s not going to go after the Bidens? He might go after Dr. Jill at this point.” Which is pretty much the Republican platform of retribution for 2024.

Finally, Watters took a swipe at special counsel Jack Smith. And true to form, it blatantly distorted reality. The video he spoke over actually contradicted what he was saying.

HUH? This is what Jesse Watters of Fox News thinks is a "bedraggled nervous wreck, dripping with anger and highly emotional."

He could play a video of a rabbit and tell his viewers it's a dragon – and they'd believe him. https://t.co/vpmclexqUF

Trump is OUTRAGED He Wasn’t Indicted Years Ago, While Desperately Trying to Delay His Trials

Posted by Mark NC on July 30, 2023 at 12:27 pm. 3 Comments :

As Donald Trump’s legal jeopardy mounts, his behavior descends into ever deeper displays of anguish. This week special counsel Jack Smith amended the indictment already filed to add new counts that primarily address Trump’s frantic efforts to cover up the crimes previously charged.

Click here to Tweet this article

Throughout Trump’s cavalcade of corruption, he has responded mainly by hurling pathetic insults at the prosecutors and judges that he believes have been recruited by his enemies for the express purpose of tormenting him. He has yet to present anything that resembles a coherent defense based on facts or evidence that might attest to his innocence.

On Saturday Trump lashed out again at the judicial “radicals” and “thugs” that he is convinced are colluding to destroy him. At his latest cult rally, Trump introduced a unique argument for why he shouldn’t be held to account for his multitude of crimes…

“Why didn’t the corrupt Marxist prosecutors bring these radical and unjustified charges against me two and half years ago, They had two and half years. Two and half years. Nobody even knew they were looking at it. I don’t think they were. But they waited two and half, almost three years so that they could bring them right in the middle of my presidential election, because it’s election interference. These are crooked people.”

Trump: So why didn't the corrupt Marxist prosecutors bring these radical and unjustified charges against me 2.5 years ago, they had 2.5 years. 2.5 years. pic.twitter.com/yB1t7ilewo

— Acyn (@Acyn) July 29, 2023

So Trump now seems to believe that the charges against him are unfair and unwarranted because they weren’t brought two and half years ago – in January of 2021 – just a few days after he left the White House and President Biden was inaugurated. It was also only three weeks after the violent January 6th insurrection that he incited.

Apparently Trump thinks that those few days were enough time to investigate his attempted coup and his plot to undermine democracy. And not only that, but he also thinks that it was sufficient time to build a case for his having stolen and hoarded hundreds of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago hotel/home, that authorities didn’t even know about at the time. When he says that “Nobody even knew they were looking at it. I don’t think they were,” he’s actually right. but not for the reasons swirling in the soup of his steaming psychosis.

Furthermore, can you imagine Trump’s response if he had been charged that quickly? He would have been correct to condemn it as a rush to judgment. But since the Justice Department and the special counsel were measured and respectful of the law, Trump is complaining that they waited too long. And set aside that it is preposterous to assert that bringing these charges a year and half before the 2024 election is “the middle” of the campaign. It is assuredly not “election interference” or “prosecutorial misconduct” as Trump has been yammering.

Trump’s whining because these charges weren’t brought against him sooner is ludicrous on its face. But if he were sincere about wanting this affair to conclude, why has he been the one engaging in endless delaying tactics? Why doesn’t he allow the case to go to trial on December 11, as the the special counsel has proposed? Trump rejected that date as being too soon, and proposed that the trial be postponed until – well, never – or at least after November 2024. So by Trump’s perverse logic, it’s too late to bring the charges, but too soon to hold the trial.

Trump, of course, is only trying to avoid the inevitable. He knows that he’s guilty and is terrified of having to face the consequences. A defendant who is confidant of their innocence would want to clear their name as quickly as possible, particularly if they were running for elective office. But Trump has been jamming on the brakes, and even obstructing justice, because he knows the truth: that his getting acquitted at trial is as likely as his getting a Nobel prize for chemistry.

Fox News Shill Holds Pity Party for Trump Accomplices Who ‘Just Did What the Boss Said’

Posted by Mark NC on July 28, 2023 at 1:04 pm. 4 Comments :

Having become the first American president to be criminally indicted is apparently not a fulfilling enough historical achievement for Donald Trump. He now seems bent on also securing the record for the most felony counts. And with more than seventy so far, he’s taken what may be an insurmountable lead in that pursuit.

Everyday appears to bring new and more damning evidence of the corruption and obsessive criminality of Trump. And as he recognizes the depth of his legal peril, his tantrums become ever more rancid and removed from reality. Trump is fixated on his perception of himself as victim. And despite the abundance of evidence against him, he keeps returning to his tedious whining about “witch hunts,” and “election interference.”

On Thursday, special counsel Jack Smith announced a series of new charges against Trump as well as a couple of his close associates. The new charges are mainly related to Trump conspiring to cover up his prior crimes by destroying evidence, lying to law enforcement, and otherwise obstructing justice. Surprisingly, Fox News reported on these superseding indictments, and even provided an informative graphic detailing the allegations.

Fox News actually reported on the new charges against Trump. Which means that someone at Fox News is about to get fired for letting that get on the air. https://t.co/BtZkTtdbmT

However, not everyone at Fox News was particularly happy about Trump’s latest legal liabilities. The “Curvy Couch” potatoes of Fox and Friends expressed a rare measure of empathy for the poor guys who were swept up in Trump’s treasonous plot. Co-host Ainsley Earhardt was especially concerned. In an interview with former federal prosecutor, Francey Hakes, Earhardt let her feelings be known…

“Why do you think they’re going after these people? First let’s start with Mar-a-Lago. One is the valet that turned into the property manager, worked for him for twenty years. Why are they going after these guys where their boss might have said ‘We’re not gonna hand over the video,’ or whatever, and they just did what the boss said?” […]

“I mean these guys just worked for him. You feel sorry for them. One started out as a valet and then he’s running the property twenty years later, and probably providing for his family. And now they’re trying to charge these guys so that they’ll flip on Donald Trump. And then you’ve got President Biden on the other side caught with the same thing, and where is that special counsel?”

Yeah! Why should these poor schnooks suffer just because they willingly participated in a conspiracy to obstruct justice and destroy evidence on behalf of the mob boss they’ve worked for for many years? After all, they started at the bottom of the crime syndicate and worked their way up to become trusted lieutenants to the ringleader. They were just following orders. They were just trying to provide for their families by helping to undermine democracy. Who can blame them?

Earhardt sympathetically sobs that you have to “feel sorry for them,” but she is less troubled by the fact that they broke the law, lied to authorities, and tampered with evidence. That’s the sort of behavior that is rewarded in Trump World if it’s done in furtherance of Trump’s treachery.

For his part, Trump is continuing to toss out tirades on his floundering Truth Social that he thinks will lead to his liberation. Following the new charges, Trump raged that Jack Smith and Merrick Garland (for whom he has a new nickname) should be imprisoned, saying that…

“They ought to throw Deranged Jack Smith and his Thug Prosecutors in jail, with Meritless Garland and Trump Hating Lisa Monaco. They have totally Weaponized the Department of Injustice. Whatever happened to the Crooked Joe Biden Boxes Case? […] Why has no other President ever been charged?”

Trump doesn’t bother to identify what laws any of them have violated. He just wants all of his political foes locked up because they dare to have respect for the law. As for why no other President ever been similarly charged, it’s simply because no other President has ever committed similar – and so many – crimes. And that’s a record that Trump can rest assured will prevail long into the future.

Snowflake Trump Whines to DOJ that ‘An Indictment of Me Would Only Further Destroy Our Country’

Posted by Mark NC on July 27, 2023 at 12:48 pm. 11 Comments :

America is on “Indictment Watch” for the third (and possibly fourth) time in the post-Trump era. Not satisfied with being the first American president to be indicted, Donald Trump is endeavoring to secure his place in history by not just nailing down the first indictment, but also the most.

On Thursday morning the press reported that the Grand Jury investigating Trump’s role on the January 6th insurrection, and associated efforts to overthrow the government and subvert democracy, was meeting. The speculation was that they could be ready to announce the latest batch of charges against Trump for criminal violation of least three federal statutes, including deprivation of rights, conspiracy to defraud the U.S., and tampering with a witness. This was not unexpected by legal analysts, or even by Trump himself…

Trump’s anxious anticipation not withstanding, he immediately rushed to his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to deny that anything was going on. His denial was particularly curious considering that he had already been predicting the imminent indictments. He yelped that…

“My attorneys had a productive meeting with the DOJ this morning, explaining in detail that I did nothing wrong, was advised by many lawyers, and that an Indictment of me would only further destroy our Country. No indication of notice was given during the meeting — Do not trust the Fake News on anything!”

Well, that should settle the whole matter then. Trump’s attorneys “explained” that he “did nothing wrong” and that “an Indictment of me would only further destroy our Country.” So naturally, special counsel Jack Smith will forthwith drop the case and return to his prior engagement in Switzerland.

Needless to say, Trump will not be getting off that easy. Smith’s team surely knew already that Trump would claim that he’s innocent. And the threat that his indictment would “further destroy our Country” is not only a ludicrous legal argument, it is the complete opposite of reality. Not indicting Trump would be far more dangerous for the country. It would set a precedent for future traitors aspiring to stage a violent coup.

Furthermore, Trump is just plain lying about not having been given what he oddly calls an “indication of notice” that he will be indicted. As noted above, he explicitly forecast it himself. What’s more, several days ago he acknowledged receiving a target letter from the special counsel, which is a de facto notice of the likelihood of an indictment.

Additionally, Trump has been begging his congressional cult devotees to rescue him from the legal abyss that he has created for himself. That’s another indication that he knew what was coming. He posted a video imploring “Congress, if you will, please investigate the political witch hunts against me currently being brought by the corrupt DOJ and FBI, who are totally out of control. […] Stop them now. Save our country.” That’s the same DOJ he is now saying he had a “productive” meeting with.

Of course, anyone with even the slimmest knowledge of government knows that Congress cannot stop a Justice Department investigation. But Trump has never been one to let reality encroach on his delusional perception of the world. So we can expect much more of this sort of silliness going forward.
