This story would let you fill out a "GOP in 2022" Bingo card all on its own.

I guess he didn't have any drug baggies to swallow so he went with the next best incriminating thing. I don't recall hearing about this but it's not that surprising.

On the one hand, I am sure that Trump is happy to see Biden struggling in a visceral Fuck That Guy way.
But I am wondering if Trump should have been rooting for Biden a bit. The current GOP seems to think (rightly, IMO) that they can coast to victory in 2022 with a basic out-party message of inflation/CRT. Things can change between now and then, but barring some pretty significant shakeups, that seems very likely. So Trump/Jan 6/Re-litigating 2020 are a wild card that they don't need. Which is why I think you are seeing some of the establishment folks very carefully starting to pull away from him. If Biden were super popular, then I could see the GOP thinking that they need Trump to shake things up and/or motivate their base. But if you don't need Trump to win, then you have to consider whether he's worth the downside. |

The one good thing about the Trump Presidency is that it shined a light on how some people are just above the law. Trump was right that he could shoot a person on the street and get away with it.
Another criminal referral that will be ignored. Although maybe a DA will tweet some stuff for some likes.

From what I've read we really don't have anything to enforce the records keeping requirement or penalties for ignoring, Presidents and administrations have just followed it. What Trump has absolutely shined light on is that a lot of things we expect Presidents to do that don't have penalties need to be looked at and tightened up. |

MTG is apparently deathly afraid of Pelosi's gazpacho. In fairness, it probably sucks, but it can't be as bad as ... oh I don't know ... a secret police force.

If nothing is going to come of all these stories of Trump hiding/stealing/eating/destroying records, I'd almost rather it not have been made public. The worst case go-forward scenario is knowing it happened and knowing there are no consequences.

The odd thing to me is that the excuse that I hear, the reasoning that none of it matters is that 1) people who irrationally hate trump are just really sick and they'll look for any reason to tear him down and make others hate him to, and 2) "I think that every politician is crooked and this is no different than any of them, except that you don't like trump".
Now in both instances, the response avoids the direct assertion being made of that person to address and respond to the behavior. Answer one, it's just a simple deflection that 'you're the real problem, because of your hate' which is an attack meant to shift the conversation to the questioners 'problems', and the 2nd is meant to put the burden of the argument back onto the questioner to 'prove' that what trump did isn't different and that it matters. I find both of these positions very difficult to deal with, as the end result is the same, frustration, and the other person feeling vindicated that they are in the right, because you couldn't change their mind. The reality is that the question was meant to provoke thought, analysis and dialogue, but in the end, it didn't matter. When we grew up and learned about the Civil War, you'd always hear the phrase, 'brother fought against brother' and I'd wonder, how? How can two people from the same family have such a strong disagreement or complete difference of opinion that they were willing to go to war with one another? I'd think, boy that's so weird, because we all know how the war ended, and the 'good side' won, so we all now believed that clearly one side was wrong. But....we're back in the same place now. We're back on being unable to agree on facts, because discourse is dead, because one side is unable to understand what a fact is, and decides that making up their own facts is the new 'truth'.

It was meant with subtly and sarcasm. Meaning, the amount of speeding versus speeding tickets is so inconsequential it's like it's not enforced. And the reference to to cigarettes was indeed a reference to Eric Garner, and the level of enforcement to something that seems rather inconsequential and what the result of that specific action was.

I'm trying to understand if he's mad at toilets because he was flushing top secret documents down them and needed extra flushes, or if it took extra flushes to get rid of his shits because he was eating the top secret documents.

I call BS on this only because I can't believe there are any MyPillow customers in 2022 who are not die-hard Trumpers and would go public with something that makes him look bad.

Even Trump's accounting firm is giving up on him:
Access Denied Edit: In case you haven't read the article, I think this is a pretty big development with Trump. Yeah I know seems like everyday there's something big that's surely going to sink Trump, but this one feels to me to have a high level of "bigness" Mazars, Trump's accounting firm is no longer handling his accounting practices. Basically they fired him. DA James filed this in court to show that this is not a political witchhunt like the Trump lawsuit against her says. Mazars has handed over 500,000 documents to the DA and Mazars now says that any of the financial disclosures they filed for Trump Org over an 10 year period can no longer be considered accurate. And it may cause his other lenders to call in loans against him too. Financial stuff generally flies right over my head, and I know this is a civil case not criminal, but feels like it could lead to something criminal too.

I'm no finance expert either (and it's been a while since I've been to a Holiday Inn) but it reads to me that Mazar is next in line to take a fall for Trump.

You may be right (and probably are) but what's stopping the Trump Org from saying that Mazars did shoddy work and that they were basing their decisions based off of the faulty work that Mazars did?

Jurors in Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against The New York Times say they got notifications on their phones that the case had been dismissed before reaching a verdict
I'm surprised jurors are even allowed to have phones while deliberating. Does this give Sarah Palin a strong case to have the verdict thrown out on appeals?

Yeah, it makes a good story, but she has a less than stellar record of keeping the truth. I think I have mentioned it here before, but my wife is related to her and nobody she talks to in the family that knows her, likes her because she is so arrogant and conniving. |
