..what's the actual "surprise development," someone found five trump voters with regrets?
it will be interesting to see 1. if the judicial branch actually stands up for itself, and 2. what the rest of the government actually does in response if they do
It's just historically low approval at this time in a presidency especially among "supporters" especially on their signature issues: economy and immigration
...I mean he was the record setter last time around, too, so
Elon wanted a legion of kids before the apocalypse :|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
IHIP News: WHOA! Elon Musk’s Baby Mama LEAKS SINISTE...No. He's not talking about the legionairres. He's talking about the biblical legion is the name of a devil that was possessing someone Jesus exorcised. Also he didn't name the kid Romulus after the founder of Rome who killed his brother. He named him that after Star Trek.... :|||||||||| He's that much of a fucking loser
The criminal contempt jails his lawyers until they do their duty to the court (of justice) -> annnnnnnnnnnd helps weed out the idiots who are willing to dig in their heels and obstruct the discovery
It's a classic pincer attack but you know; legal
instead of literally on a battlefield
in theory at least, everyone who works for him is vulnerable to getting hit if they get themselves in contempt of court while defending him
exactly
Ah there is a lot I can't say here
honestly I wonder if the smartest play would be to just call the judiciary's bluff, ignore the contempt proceedings completely, and basically dare them to do what they keep saying themselves that they can't do and go after him directly
That'd be amazing but they won't
I really don't know what the judicial branch would do if they were in that corner
Because then if they are WEASLEY they would run the fuck away
whereas Trump & Elon can't
well that's kind of my point, like... strategizing for the sake of argument if you were in Trump's position
"Hay wouldn't it be SMART to like ... ATTACK AND ALIENATE EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD Including that island with only penguins

"
This is the all or nothing gambit. That was the stakes Trump & Elon set
\:|/ Idefk why they can't see the problem with that but that is what they did
knowing that your underlings will be vulnerable if you're subtle and pretend to play by the rules, and that the ones with any self preservation will stop working for you and weaken your control of the situation, would the smartest thing be to just tell the court to suck eggs and dare them to try acting independent of the executive branch?
(obviously you wouldn't frame it that way exactly, but in effect)
they'll still... tell the court to fuck off
There's shit in discovery that would get them
man I don't even have words for it
just beyond tarred and feathered
yeah but why even engage with the court and make discovery a thing
Like I said pincer attack
maybe I'm missing something
So one wrt: the plane full, the other with Garcia specifically
++ Trump already DID the whole "OOOOKAY HERE'S THE DOCS :V" and you know....
maybe he'll try to fake one again =\ but that's still just going to weed through the lawyers
He thinks there are INFINITE USA lawyers but again

well that's silly, but okay
you think he's a fucking supergenius?
but yeah I still wonder if the strategy would be to just nosell it
I mean tbf the stealing election machines just to steal the 2024 election was
I CAN'T SAY CLEVER but at least...
like
judiciary: "you are in contempt of court!!!"
trump: "ok cool whatever" *keeps doing what he was doing
I was gonna say maybe that's the plan
but this is like the knot of the noose so
it's pretty new that the actual contempt thing is moving
I'm honestly not clear what the rule-of-law strategy is, moving forward
hold him in contempt, he doesn't care, you don't do anything about it, and......?
Nothing is going to come of this
He's going to keep doing what he wants and the system isnt working
like yes they should go through the process in the name of reinforcing that the process matters, but I don't get what the path to a win condition looks like
which isn't to say it's unwinnable, Trump&co can still do dumb shit that makes them vulnerable and people can still decide to actually hold them accountable, I'm just saying based on the trajectory and precedent up to this point
.................again, though, what's the next step after Trump ignoring the contempt of court?
like... is the strategy to keep piling on convictions and hope that his voters and supporters in congress reach a breaking point that's more than the ones he already has?
They're not holding Trump himself in contempt yet. Like I said, it's his lawyers until they weed out and deliver evidence and/or literally aren't in the way of the ones who will
It's not like Trump saves his underlings
I guess it might work if he just... doesn't bother to declare them protected by executive privilege or whatever
He already is trying, and the SCOTUS said it isn't
it seems like the obvious thing, to say that they can't provide information he doesn't allow them to, so they can't be held personally responsible, and since he can't be held accountable either, nobody can do anything about it
Again, it was already taken to the appeals and SCOTUS
so at that point they go to jail
and if the cops don't do that; THEY go to jail and so on
.......do they?
...I mean on paper, in theory, but do they actually?
I feel like that remains to be seen
Okay. Same time next year
unless there are examples I'm not thinking of
Yes. I mean not for the USA so far but foreign govs.
I'm not sure those examples are extensible to here tho
Why not? Just because it hasn't yet? Yeah well no one else went as crazy as Trump. Don't give him power he doesn't have. He's just a dumbass.
Besides; oligarchs only care about the money and they aren't making more from him
He's outlived his usefulness to them, that's why Elon ran
...well because different jurisdictions do things differently, but
Trump: falsify evidence or comply
Trump: /brings out a random completely unrelated grieving mother/
Any questions?
EVERYONE: /RAISES HAND
Leavitt: No? Cool. Guess we're done
Journo LITERALLY SPEAKS UP: I have one!
Leavitt: Nope, no questions /leaves
They are not competent even at being incompent
if you and your boss don't want to talk about anything and don't have any accountability before the people asking questions, just ignoring them works pretty well

we can literally SEE
More than you think
...I guess we'll see whether that's true or not.
it'll be interesting to see if there's a big swing in how favorable Trumpism is in upcoming delayed/emergency elections
and I guess if republican town halls turn from "a few protesters were removed by the Dissent Police" to "too many people turned against the speaker to be able to arrest all of them"
I will be 0% surprised if the Trump Voter position on that is "haha they sure showed those Globalist Press losers!"
...I mean I have some hopes, but "this one absurd refusal to be normal will surely be the thing that turns all the cultists against him!" isn't the form they take
more like that someone in a position of power will call his bluff, or enough non-Trumpist people will be publicly angry enough to shift the calculus for politicians, or Trump will do enough damage that even the wealthy decide they don't like it any more
Ehhhhh I dont' care about the cultists
"Elon's legion of secret babies. It's weird." Yeah
asdkmcxa;lskdjasl;kdjas Oh god I understand why you might want to let this happen but THAT DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT ALL AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A new constitution has a lot of potential for good but holy fuck not while these assholes are roaming free?????
Who was it who told me the Law matters?!???
...yeah I can sympathize with accelerationists but I am not one.

Is RFK Jr. confusing autism for MERCURY poisoning?!
lololol "he's in the rose garden almost as often as he's in the sand trap when he plays golf every weekend!" ROFL BURN BURN
they think autism is caused by vaccines because of mercury
because of one long-since reviewed and debunked study iirc
(afaik they don't have a crusade against canned tuna, which I'm pretty sure is a much, much greater source of mercury, and in a far more toxic compound, but oh well)
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh
** rather -- skip ahead to Torres because he's FIRE
If you only watch 2 -- this one too because it's proof the boomers are mad
Oh yeah. That dude (the PA Republican) definitely was involved in disappearing Garcia. He could not sweat harder but it's going to get sooooooooooooooo much hotter for him
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
<- okay this one. For everyone else. Just watch this one.
This. Does not even scratch the surface of how deep this iceberg goes but

it's a start
SheElf I prolly can't watch most of these, but I suspect you want to
CC: So the plan is to burn through Trump's lawyers; either jail and get them out of the way or finally get to the ones who will help them get evidence against his dumb shit --
Trump: :VVVVV LET ME SPEED THAT WAY WAY WAY UP FOR YOU :VVVVV
DOJ: ... thanks???????????????????
I just hope DOJ doesn't decide this is some sort of scary 500000+ IQ move and just sees it as the dumbass he is literally fucking hates lawyers and doesn't realize what he's doing
adslkjas;lkdjas

THE D IN JD STANDS FOR DUMBASS
I do think his cult is actually likely to break soon. We're seeing situations similar to the downfall of other major cults...
That is what all the experts say
and unlike Trumpists.... I believe in expert opinion
I am not okay with borders and deportation \:|/
THIS YOU ARE DUTY BOUND TO DISOBEY UNLAWFUL ORDERS

Army LARPERS who are FUCKING LIARS AND MILITIA CULTISTS LIKE
Swear up and down NO YOU MUST ALWAYS OBEY NO YOU MUST NOT That's how you get HITLER fuckwits
I mean... assuming they're just stupid and don't want to be evil but
Now tbf wrt: gerrymandering and the primary shit; yes but also like

they know that they are cheating and so they dont' care about the public AT ALL they care about the cheater hierarchy (cult)
I've been watching a ton of Meidas Touch lately because of you. And got to hear the delightful insult to Donald Trump of Malignent Narcissistic Slug as a result (thank you Charlie Angus)

The Pope skipped meeting with JD Vance and had his 2nd give him a lecture on compassion instead
Darn, he eventually did meet him
And will get jealous about Pope Francis -- I have a solution to that but I will not voice it
Inb4 Trump suggests being Pope
"Shame about Francis. Real shame. I knew the guy, we were great friends. Best of friends. You know, he would have wanted me to hold down his place, you know, if anything happened to him. Said I'd be the best seat-holder around. No one better. I'd be the best. He said it, it's true."

I don't want to think about the worst possible outcome but that will definitely be....
CC: No no! This could be GREAT guys! We could get a new Pope who can handle stopping Trump/Putin/Elon/Anti-Christ death-cult
Kyle: Or Trump tries to wrest control of it all for himself just like the death cult "prophesizes"
CC: O.O Hello darkness my old friend...
Like a blind squirrel, I find a nut once in a while
"Smokey eye JD Vance went to visit the Pope and surprise surprise a few hours he's dead."
thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
AHAHAHAH What a time to be alive
.............. yo. Did he just refer to Trump the way I talk about God /SQUINT
I will watch when I'm not in the waiting room!
(if West Chester is Sodom, where is Gamorrah?)
reverse that you know what I mean
Nope, Westchester is Gomorrah -- ah yes. Sodom is LA Los Angelos
But Dubai has no biblical comparison, it's worse than everything in there :|||||||||
The city is NYC's financial district; the whore of Babylon ala Revelations is England Empire (that gave birth to the other fucked up nations)

You can see why I've been freaking out and getting my ducks lined up
Anyway I love (lowkey?) that everyone is pointing out basically JD Vance accidentally on purpose assassinated the Pope
alskdja;lskdjadsj I can't stop laughing over his voice cracking OH NO


AHAHAHAHAHAH So good
GET 'EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really don't want to die via RFK Jr. being dumb
"What the hell is wrong with you guys?" we all wonder
Okay CRAZY THOUGHT -- Trump is known (literally proven in a CRIMINAL COURT OF LAW) to falsify his polls. Pollsters and journalists should start asking truly creative questions that no one ever has before so he can't falsify them in advance, and it shows that those being questioned are thinking about it instead of tribally responding. And I don't mean
as control questions, I mean as in all of them are new and fun and creative and everyone involved; journalist, readers, and those being questioned would get a kick out of it
I wonder why normies don't want to date a death cult :VVVV it isn't like a bunch of scammers are already in the dating scene
Lmfao Sandalphon agrees; that's fucking weird
Archangel siblings. We just sort of driveby yell stuff at each other in all caps
...I feel like you're explaining the only part of everything you've said that I understood.
I thought that was the incomprehensible randomness

Okay up
HSN Basically was selling shit by being like "Look at this price; it's going to go up 400% because Trump crazy tariffs! IF you can even buy it at all!!!" very funny
But yes I was sitting there only half-listening because I'm reading at and gaming and etc. and then BAM Home shopping network makes fun of Trump

good shit
He also (on top of TWO signal chats with unsecured DoD personnel) bypassed defense protocols to specifically put dirty internet apps on his computer because he's a fucking traitor who should be at minimum jailed indefinitely
he's absorbing the curses that bounce off of Trump
uuuuuuuuuuugh they're going to put soy in everything again aren't they
LMFAO
Um this is not a headline one. This is very much a "Al Gore's speech about the post- WW2 Nazi Germany moral autopsy" is EXTREMELY powerful
Supposedly AOC is going to run under "Change begins with a mustard seed" And GOP is telling on themselves for not recognizing the biblical reference again
They accidentally uploaded "NO I AM NOT GOING TO LIE FOR YOUR SORRY ASS" to the client instead to the public docket -- I CAN RELATE BECAUSE I post to the wrong thing CONSTANTLY but my duuuuuuuuude
..........other way around?
Well more like even though they said that... they also DID lie to the judge soooo
