I told my wife this morning, I think his lil plan is to go on TV for this press conference, declare the whole thing a witch hunt, claim it's because Jack Smith and all his mean judge friends have a boner for Trump, and everything's fine, it's all a sham.

He'll think this completely absolves him, because he has come out and told 'the truth' and all, and he'll waddle off back to Mar-a-lago, where the Deputies will be waiting for him.

@CoffeeAddict

He's facing consequences now. ~~The conspiracy trial he was trying to have moved to January just got it's schedule compressed down to 'today'~~, the hearing got immediate billing, all witnesses were heard immediately and state organized crime charges leveled instanter.

This is, "having fucked around" he has now "found out".

"Trial" is incorrect. In my excitement I conflated "trial" and "hearing". That I got it wrong before coffe though, doesn't change how fucked this guy is.

Edited accordingly.

Addendum:
There are warrants out for him and 18 accomplices. They have 3 days grace to turn themselves in. Anyone who doesn't turn themselves in by then will be subject to arrest.

They gave him enough time with socmed to finish hanging himself.

It's what Trolls do in order to misdirect the energy in a discussion. Don't feed 'em.

@anon6789

Me neither guy, and I find it tragic that somehow these fucks that cultivate these attitudes are even allowed in government when really they should be in the jail.

"They always do" - I'm not talking skirmishes here.

I also do not disagree about the mindset. But that mindset has been well and contuously fed and watered; cultivated

@IHeartBadCode

It's really the thing that drives a lot of wars. It's a worldwide problem, not just an American one. The subhuman assholes are just the shiny enriched face of it in America.

@Arotrios

Jail isn't good enough for them. They are pushers and murderers on an unbelievable scale. They should face the same penalties as any other junk pusher who has been caught.

We aren't talking about Little Joey down on the corner selling dime bags of kind bud; we're talking about a family who got together and gamed the system, lied through their teeth, and created more fucking junkies than the Vietnam war.

Firing squad or Gas Chamber is where I'm at.

She needs to demand Trump appear as well. This isn't a jaywalking case, and the OrangeShitGibbon needs to have it registered clearly in his mind that this is not an opportunity for publicity, this is his just deserts coming, and that they unstoppable, that it is just a matter of time.

Honestly, I think everyone, and I do mean everyone, already knows that.

We're at the point where the gamesmanship needs to be exposed as a central thesis and problem, and addressed accordingly. A problem. This is all about putting paid to the problem; not appearances to the effect. In my mind, Trump's lawyers are not being charged; are not the ones making threats on Truth.Social, Trump is.

His ass needs to be toeing that line before the Judges desk.

Nah, I meant exactly what I said.

A quick peek says it all. It is essentially a polite summons, the literal language of which is a 'notice to appear', in which the Court sets forth four dates as options for a time when the parties to the case would meet and confer.

OP where I first read of this had quoted the first paragraph; I misunderstood him to be suggesting that 'probably this what will happen'.

But no, the Defense actually responded that none of the dates provided by the Court would work, because Trump's lawyers are all busy litigating other cases on his behalf on those dates.

@AlwaysNowNeverNotMe

Unfortunately you're probably correct about this.

@Ganondorf

I completely agree that the Joe on the street, and jean as well, are the regular targets of manipulation. I'm not sure if we'd agree on how or by whom.
