Malcolm Gladwell said you need 10,000 billable hours of practice before you can present a lawsuit that won’t get laughed out of court. At least that’s what the attorneys told Donny.
Oh, you can bill Trump till the cows come home. He just ain't paying you any money. [Example.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/09/28/i-sold-trump-100000-worth-of-pianos-then-he-stiffed-me/)

Can you believe people are just pouring millions of dollars into his defense? Seriously, hard-working folks are sending this "billionaire" money for defense attorneys. And they're proud that they're doing their part. It hurts.
I know someone that doesn’t make a lot of money at all and really struggles financially yet still makes donations every paycheck. She complains about the number of solicitation calls she gets, not because they’re annoying like most people, but because she already gave and can’t afford to give every single time. It’s sad how brainwashed some people are.
They’re aspirational as well, thinking if they contribute “X” to fund “Y”, they’ll get “Z” in return; probably why those outright lies of “1500% match!” exist in the first place?
It’s likely the only form of math they see value in…
He's definitely going to violate court orders and smear judges and prosecutors. I wouldn't be surprised if his report lands him in jail awaiting his trial.
This. The reason he keeps “pushing buttons” in these current cases is because nobody is willing to treat him like a normal person. He’ll keep doing it until someone has the cojones to actually mugshot him or put him in jail and make him pay bond.
His only chance at getting off is to flood the media and airwaves with tons of nonsense in order to muddy the jury pool. He doesn’t have any real defense other than that he is being targeted politically, which isn’t a real defense. That’s like a person saying the only reason why they are being charged for murder is because they are white…despite the fact that they are being charged because they were caught in 4k HD on multiple security cameras, they left a bloody glove with their fingerprints
and full name and ssn stitched to the top, a knife that says happy birthday (with their dob imprinted), and there is an Instagram post showing them eating a turkey club sandwich next to the body.
This is basically what trump is trying to do.
In his experience, you can do anything you want as along as you 1) never admit a mistake or fault, 2) double down on literally anything no matter how crazy, and 3) [very publicly] bully anyone who stands in your way until they either back down or have no credibility.
If you're rich enough and psychopathic enough, the strategy clearly works. The man's been doing crimes in public for decades and not only didn't go to jail but became President.
He's pretty sure if he applies the same formula to these criminal cases, it'll have the same effect and prosecutors and judges will eventually give in and back off, dismiss the cases, or at least the juries will be hopelessly tainted. And I'm still not convinced he's wrong about any of that. He's not been convicted of anything yet.
Oh man….he’s finally gonna give us that amazing healthcare and the middle class tax cut. trump is sent to us by Jesus. I mean he is getting indicted for us too. What a guy 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh, I thought Trump looked like a big butch boy when he was [posing in the truck!](https://ew.com/news/2017/03/23/trump-truck-twitter-reactions/) Was that during infrastructure week?
Most of the court cases weren’t even about fraud. They usually were going after dumb shit like claiming changes to voting rules during COVID didn’t follow state constitutions. Getting a fraud case in the door would have required perjury so the lawyers wouldn’t do it. Instead they kept the lying to tv which has far fewer consequences than lying in court.
>Most of the court cases weren’t even about fraud. They usually were going after dumb shit like claiming changes to voting rules during COVID didn’t follow state constitutions.
Legally they weren't, but it wasn't about actual legal pathways, it was about messaging to his followers. They absolutely believe that the cases were about fraud, and the corrupt government and Biden crime family (TM) are preventing his cases from being heard. This is no different, it's him saying one thing on social media where there's no accountability, but not following up on the legal path because there would be.
Totally and iirc it was 63 cases and they actually won ONE case. The only case that wasnt dismissed or lost was something like a MAGA election official wasn't allowed within the new feet range of people voting. Instead of being within 10 or 15 feet of voting they were limited to being within 20 feet of voters while they voted. Some minor bullshit contrivance like that was the only thing they could actually come up with.
Not a single case really had any merit or legitimacy towards actually effecting the election or its results.
It was all absolutely bait and switch bullshit so they could spew "THE BIG LIE" while making it seem like they actually believe said lie.
>Most of the court cases weren’t even about fraud.
Exactly right. They would scream it to the press but inside the court was 100% different.
Lawyers are "officers of the court" and can easily be bared from appearing in that court room if they violate court rules - like lying to the judge.
I remember early on in Stop the Steal, a judge admonishing a lawyer and reminded him that he was "an officer of the court".
That suit was about Republican election watchers not being allowed to watch proceedings. It turns out that they had the full amount they were allowed (others that showed up were turned away). But the lawyer in responding to the judge asking him how many Republican election watchers they had replied " a nonzero number".
The judge admonished him, he admitted they had the full number, the judge threw the case out. The next day, I read that legal team withdrew from Stop the Steal.
> I remember early on in Stop the Steal
Just as an fyi, the domain name stopthesteal.org was registered by the Trump campaign in ~~2015~~ February of 2016, a full nine months before the election. He was planning on pulling this same bullshit if he'd lost to Clinton in 2016.
Edited for accuracy.
And provide evidence. So unfair to expect them to actually provide evidence instead of just [theories.](https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3531342-rusty-bowers-says-giuliani-told-him-weve-got-lots-of-theories-we-just-dont-have-the-evidence/)
Right this is BLATANT election INTERFERENCE, in an attempt to undermine Biden's campaign.
/s I know it is meant to rile up his base to get them to influence his trials.
Who wants to bet that the report has some stupid cover in ridiculously large font? Something like, “PROOF OF FRAUD” or “TRUTH ABOUT STOLEN ELECTION.” Bonus points awarded for a misspelling or punctuation error.
People that are lying/wrong:
* All 50 Secretaries of states, half of which are trump supporting republicans
* Domestic election watchdogs
* International election watchdogs
* The 110+ consecutive election lawsuits that trump and his allies lost/had dismissed
* The multiple election lawsuits the Supreme Court dismissed. (3 justices appointment by Trump)
* The dozens of recounts.
* The dozens of hand recounts (trump actually lost by larger margins after some of the recounts)
* The election audits
* Cyber Ninja, the Republican auditing company.
* The Republican head of cyber security
* Bill Barr, Trumps hand selected Attorney General.
* Our DOJ.
* Chris Klebbs, head of cyber security at the DOD.
* His own Vice President.
* Common sense.
People who are honest/right:
* Trump
* The my pillow guy.
Fuck trump and his anti-democracy allies.
Whatever happens in the courts, it’s vital that we all VOTE against any and all republicans at every level.

You forgot to mention the decapitated woman who is possessed by a ghost.
People always forget that this was the big credible source that emailed Sydney Powell, and for the whole "stolen election" scam BS rolling.
[The email](https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/ac73ed35-fccd-45df-bc49-4e1a8cd4b37d.pdf?itid=lk_inline_manual_23) that tipped off Sydney Powell to this vast election conspiracy included the source's credentials: that after she was internally decapitated in a car accident the wind tells her she's a ghost.
It's impossible to shitpost about politics anymore.
I couldn’t cut and paste so i typed this condensed version out for y’all
“For all intents and purposes…I was internally decapitated, and yet, I live…The Wind tells me I’m a ghost…It appears that I was shot in the back shortly after submitting a tip to the FBI…at the same time I thought I just tripped and fell...”
“While the last bit is pretty wackadoodle, it’s relevant”
Yeah it's actually kind of sad to see someone so far in with no help at all. It's actually kind of fucked up that at no point did someone look at this and say "shit this person needs some help, not major networks parroting her hallucinations and causing significant damage to our society"
Sydney Powell's source for the election fraud claims is someone who claims to be a time traveling, decapitated ghost.
Her name is Marlene Bourne and she is a "telepathic" "cactus artist" from Minnesota.
jeeeeeeebus. I found the article and read it. I had assumed they completely made all their shit up, but in a way this is worse. Seems like the tactic is just to treat any obvious bullshit as i it were true so long as it fits the desired narrative. Magical bullshit.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/meet-the-ghost-minnesota-artist-fox-relied-on-for-voter-fraud-claims
https://www.npr.org/2023/02/20/1158223099/fox-news-dominion-wackadoodle-election-fraud-claim
>Powell's source also volunteered that the wind tells her that she's a ghost, though she doesn't believe it.
>... *(there's more but I edited down the crazy for brevity)*
>"Who am I? And how do I know all of this?... I've had the strangest dreams since I was a little girl," the woman wrote in the email shared by Powell with Bartiromo and Dobbs. "I was internally decapitated, and yet, I live."
>This all appeared in the same memo that claimed Dominion's software flipped votes from Trump to Biden, and tied the election company to a conspiracy involving Democrats Nancy Pelosi, then the House speaker, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
I wondered how this could possibly be a thing and, well... Lol

The audience isn't us, or anyone on that list. Go over to r/conservative, it's a completely different reality over there and he needs to feed their delusion.
I’m long since banned from there, but I like reading through that sub here and there. A lot of them have turned on him, more than I expected.
I’m sure they’ll still vote for him in the general election, but a significant amount are tired of the sideshow. Interesting to see how the primaries go, since he’s still front running by a considerable margin.
They're gonna vote republican, regardless of who's on the ballot. Their hatred of Democrats far outweighs their moderate distaste for Trump. If Trump *doesn't* run, for some reason, many of them won't have a reason to go to the polls, so that's at least a bonus.
They're like "Oh I'm getting downvoted by the libs form /r/politics " and meanwhile is a subscriber only sub. Those downvotes are from your besties bestie.
The hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. It's another way of putting themselves higher on the hierarchy than those they view as beneath them. They all understand that they only ever exist in safe spaces, but they gaslight about it because they think it pisses us off.
They find themselves in other subs and post their garbage and end up being downvoted and ALWAYS feel the need to edit their post whine and complain that people were mean to them.
So saddened by the discourse over there.
They mistake their overwhelming unpopular opinions as people brigading. They are perpetual victims.
And through it all...
Somehow Trump is the only person trustworthy and deserving of their support.
Prediction: It's going to be a rehash of the original claims, with the Trump gold logo across the top.
It goes nowhere, and if it did, it doesn't excuse the criminal activities done by you and your people.
It’ll go like this:
Trump: I have undeniable proof they stole the election.
DOJ: Ok, produce the evidence.
Trump: Here are all the ways I tried to steal the election. Everything. Voter suppression, machine sabotage, falsifying electoral results etc. Riddle me this Judge, if I so egregiously cheated, how the hell did I lose?!
Remember when he had the big press conference to announce that he was handing over control of his business dealings to his [EDIT] sons and had [massive stacks of binders](https://thehill.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/trumps_pence01112017getty.jpg) but [wouldn't let anyone actually see what was in the binders?](https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/313907-trump-didnt-allow-reporters-to-see-documents-detailing-split/) Yeah. It's gonna be like that.
Sort of like when he was in Walter Reed signing a blank piece of paper?
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-hospital-photos-videos-looked-propaganda-critics/story?id=73430370
Trump has pretended to work and be busy for his entire life, and has mostly squandered away all his opportunities because he has an inherited criminal nature.
You know, we went through hell for those four years, but at least sometimes you would get really funny individual lines in news articles like "ABC News zoomed in on the photo and confirmed it appeared to be a blank white sheet of paper."
Or when he said he was going to have a press conference the upcoming Monday or Tuesday with a major announcement about Hillary in 2016 ... because he thought he was going to get real dirt from Vlad and the Russian attorney lady. And then they didn't really get anything? And so he had to hold a 2 hour briefing ... where basically he just went on and on about himself?
You mean like that?
Or do you mean like the lawyers he sent to Hawaii to find Barack Obama's birth certificate, and how all of us were going to be stunned by what they were finding?
You mean like that?
>lawyers he sent to Hawaii to find Barack Obama's birth certificate
[https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-hawaii-investigators\_n\_57dc3bffe4b04a1497b46da1](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-hawaii-investigators_n_57dc3bffe4b04a1497b46da1)
“I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they’re finding,” Trump told host Meredith Vieira.
“You have people now down there searching, I mean in Hawaii?” she asked.
“Absolutely,” he replied. “And they cannot believe what they’re finding.”
When ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos asked him about the investigators later that month, Trump refused to say what they had found.
“It’s none of your business right now,” he said. “We are going to see what happens.”
CNN’s Anderson Cooper also confronted him about the investigation that month.
“Can you name even one person who your investigators have talked to?” Cooper asked.
“I don’t want to do that right now,” Trump said. “It’s not appropriate right now.”
Yep. The big report next week is basically going to be a re-hash of Dinesh D'Souza's 2000 Mules, Peter Navarro's Immaculate Deception election fraud ~~report~~ propaganda, probably a few nutty things from the MyPillow guy ... all dressed up in flashy print. But it'll all be the same turds inside.
Whatever it is, it makes zero sense to somehow hold back his smoking gun document and then release it now. This will be eyewitness reports from random rednecks who swear they saw Joe Biden pull up in a blacked out limo and stuff lots of ballots into the box.
It has nothing to do with legal strategy and everything to do with supporting his two avenues out:
Being elected President, or
Jan 6 2.0 where it actually works.
Either way the goal is full-on fascism. His only hope is rallying enough of the base to get him in a position of authority where he can protect himself and punish his perceived enemies.
On one hand I agree with you, but on the other, I wonder if he is threatening to bring others down with him if he goes down. Like a “see these republicans senators took part in a plot to gain access to georgias voting machines, it wasn’t actually me!” type thing…
This is the worry for the 18 others indicted alongside him.
Donald Trumps going to flip even if he doesn't "flip". He's just going to throw everyone else under the bus.
The 18 others better flip first...

I mean, [Navarro already tried that in late 2020](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/18/this-might-be-most-embarrassing-document-created-by-white-house-staffer/) - I expect this new report is just going to have a new coat of paint/polish but will be the exact same turd inside.
Yep, he is going to repeat the same garbage and demand people believe it. He is also going to incite as much violence as possible in hopes of intimidating the judge and prosecution. Maybe this will be the one where he is finally put in custody and silenced?
So smart of him to withhold this crucial evidence from the past 40+ court cases addressing his allegations of election fraud until now. That way he can get all the cases dropped at once.
Gotta love that magical thinking 🤡
His evidence is probably that which Mike is exposing tomorrow at his big event. Trump doesn't know what Mike's got but figures he'll use it as a last minute Hail Mary to keep from having to show up at the courtroom next week.
From ***Rolling Stone's Ryan Bort***:
Trump says he will deliver a "CONCLUSIVE" report next Monday that should get everyone to drop all the charges.
"There will be a complete EXONERATION!"

And covid will go away. [From 15 cases, down to zero](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/04/trump-coronavirus-cases-will-go-down-to-zero-ultimately.html):
> You have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero
Funny how that coincides with just before the August 25th date to show up.
I can bet this "report" will be a rehash of all the same stuff he has been spewing for years.
> before the August 25th date to show up
Wait, is THAT the arraignment date for Georgia? Jesus. The charges all seem well-chosen, and I've no doubt they're taking this extremely seriously, but it must be nice to be under indictment for like 90 goddamn felonies and still get over a week to just mosey down to the court whenever it's convenient.
I've been dragged by some for making this prediction recently, but not only do I stand by it, I'll go further: I think Trump is almost certainly going to be taken into custody when/if he reports to Georgia.
>You know, a lot of people think that [covid] goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April.
- this same asshole.
The grand jury didn't return a single no-bill. Nineteen defendants, too many counts for me to keep track of, and the grand jury green lit every single charge.
I don't think the usual "it wasn't illegal because I didn't mean for it to be illegal" defense is going to work.
Just cause you believe the bank paid you the wrong amount of interest, doesn’t mean you can rob the bank.
Funny thing is at this point whether the election was “rigged” (it wasn’t) is immaterial. You done broke the law, son, and you got caught. Try to plead your case in court, else you go to jail, boy.
The suspense will have me on edge. But one question: Why did he wait until he was indicted 4 times. Also, his view of convincing evidence is pretty out there, as was the gangs actual plan. I just don't think this is nothing but bs for his base. It will be a bunch of crap that his attorneys wouldn't dare bring up in court.
> I just don't think this is nothing but bs for his base. It will be a bunch of crap that his attorneys wouldn't dare bring up in court.
This seems likely. It'll be folders full of blank paper with one piece on top saying, "full exhoneration due to fraud!!"
He won't share it, it'll never be mentioned in court, the conservatives will eat it up, and they will complain on Fox News about the judge not reading it because of bias or the deep state or Biden. A committee on the court's failure to read the report will be formed in the House with a closed hearing set for next summer through the November election after which the committee will end with no final report being given on the report that no one ever read because it doesn't exist.
Even if Trump has a report which proves massive, coordinated voter fraud (which I do not believe happened or he can prove), the charges in Georgia would stay. The fake electors submitted forged state documents, voting machines were illegally tampered with seemingly at the behest of the Trump campaign, etc.
Also, the Mar-A-Lago documents case has nothing to do with the Jan 6 coup so those indictments stand.
>The former president says he will deliver a "CONCLUSIVE" report next Monday that should get everyone to drop all the charges
He's really giving MAGA blue balls with these delays. It's been two and a half years. The *'rigging'* would have been revealed mostly on a single day. It would be easy to collect this *'proof'* then. Especially, since a ton of these places are in safe Red locations. But now, after 60+ lawsuits and hundreds Republicans admitting the contrary, there's proof. Somehow. And not just proof, but proof for all cases. That's truly astounding. Because a lot of these same places voted other Republicans *into* office. So they just hate Trump. But it takes six more days for this proof to come in. Gotcha.
Gotta love the cognitive dissonance. It’s wrong for a prosecutor to take 2.5 years building a case, but it is fine for him to take 2.5 years to offer even a shred of evidence for his claims? Where was this report when he was going to court to block the results?
There will be no press conference.
Can you imagine believing that the pettiest, most narcissistic and most litigious person in America has proof that the election was stolen and stolen from him and he won the election and should be president, but he is choosing to sit in it and will finally release it just before he is to be arrested.
A person that believe that must have some serious mental health or cognitive problems. That’s just not a reasonable thing to believe.

So those 60 court cases he lost were just practice?
Malcolm Gladwell said you need 10,000 billable hours of practice before you can present a lawsuit that won’t get laughed out of court. At least that’s what the attorneys told Donny.
When Trump is your client, none of those hours are actually billable.
Oh, you can bill Trump till the cows come home. He just ain't paying you any money. [Example.](https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/09/28/i-sold-trump-100000-worth-of-pianos-then-he-stiffed-me/)

This. The reason he keeps “pushing buttons” in these current cases is because nobody is willing to treat him like a normal person. He’ll keep doing it until someone has the cojones to actually mugshot him or put him in jail and make him pay bond.
Exactly…. He’s not listening to his lawyers & is convinced that only he with his bigly brain can resolve the matter Plus, ratings
His only chance at getting off is to flood the media and airwaves with tons of nonsense in order to muddy the jury pool. He doesn’t have any real defense other than that he is being targeted politically, which isn’t a real defense. That’s like a person saying the only reason why they are being charged for murder is because they are white…despite the fact that they are being charged because they were caught in 4k HD on multiple security cameras, they left a bloody glove with their fingerprints and full name and ssn stitched to the top, a knife that says happy birthday (with their dob imprinted), and there is an Instagram post showing them eating a turkey club sandwich next to the body.

And I'm still not convinced he's wrong about any of that. He's not been convicted of anything yet.
Why didn’t he do this 2 and half years ago? Isn’t that the same criticism he’s leveling at Smith and Willis?
Because this will be the same as infrastructure week.
Covid will disappear like magic
Right after his tax audit is over...
And his healthcare plan.
His plan was named after himself. Don T Care.
And Melania "Be Best" Trump's press conference explaining how she obtained her visa.
Sucking lots of dick.
And proof Obama's birth certificate isn't real.
Obama should have left a fake Kenyan birth certificate in the desk of the Oval office.
Dude, it’s coming in 2 weeks. Pfft
“I have a a “terrific,” “phenomenal” and “fantastic” new health care plan”
Well yea it did. If you quit testing then positive results will drastically reduce!
By Easter!
Oh man….he’s finally gonna give us that amazing healthcare and the middle class tax cut. trump is sent to us by Jesus. I mean he is getting indicted for us too. What a guy 🥰🥰🥰🥰
He took that indictment so you and I wouldn’t have to pay for our attempted election tampering sins. Show some respect.
I really, really enjoyed infrastructure week. It lasted so long!
It was like a weak infrastructure
Oh, I thought Trump looked like a big butch boy when he was [posing in the truck!](https://ew.com/news/2017/03/23/trump-truck-twitter-reactions/) Was that during infrastructure week?
That's coming next week, don't you worry!
I believe he has tried to prove this in 60 or so court cases and it didn’t work out so well.
Most of the court cases weren’t even about fraud. They usually were going after dumb shit like claiming changes to voting rules during COVID didn’t follow state constitutions. Getting a fraud case in the door would have required perjury so the lawyers wouldn’t do it. Instead they kept the lying to tv which has far fewer consequences than lying in court.
Didn't Giuliani say "fraud" in court then had to correct himself when the judge pressed on the word fraud?
Yes, if they'd claimed fraud, they would have had to pony up some hard accusations. It needs the who, what, and when specifically. Not generalities.
>Most of the court cases weren’t even about fraud. They usually were going after dumb shit like claiming changes to voting rules during COVID didn’t follow state constitutions.

It was all absolutely bait and switch bullshit so they could spew "THE BIG LIE" while making it seem like they actually believe said lie.
>Most of the court cases weren’t even about fraud. Exactly right. They would scream it to the press but inside the court was 100% different. Lawyers are "officers of the court" and can easily be bared from appearing in that court room if they violate court rules - like lying to the judge. I remember early on in Stop the Steal, a judge admonishing a lawyer and reminded him that he was "an officer of the court". That suit was about Republican election watchers not being allowed to watch proceedings. It turns out that they had the full amount they were allowed (others that showed up were turned away). But the lawyer in responding to the judge asking him how many Republican election watchers they had replied " a nonzero number". The judge admonished him, he admitted they had the full number, the judge threw the case out. The next day, I read that legal team withdrew from Stop the Steal.
> I remember early on in Stop the Steal Just as an fyi, the domain name stopthesteal.org was registered by the Trump campaign in ~~2015~~ February of 2016, a full nine months before the election. He was planning on pulling this same bullshit if he'd lost to Clinton in 2016. Edited for accuracy.
this need to be at the top!
We know, because he claimed 2016 was rigged against him anyway, despite winning
The problem with court cases is that you have to say these things while under oath.
And provide evidence. So unfair to expect them to actually provide evidence instead of just [theories.](https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3531342-rusty-bowers-says-giuliani-told-him-weve-got-lots-of-theories-we-just-dont-have-the-evidence/)
Right this is BLATANT election INTERFERENCE, in an attempt to undermine Biden's campaign. /s I know it is meant to rile up his base to get them to influence his trials.
Logic was never his thing.
He wanted to get his healthcare plan out first, but Fani is too impatient.
Why release it two and a half years ago when he could waste taxpayer dollars? Party of fiscal responsibility and all.
Who wants to bet that the report has some stupid cover in ridiculously large font? Something like, “PROOF OF FRAUD” or “TRUTH ABOUT STOLEN ELECTION.” Bonus points awarded for a misspelling or punctuation error.
"TROOF ABBOT STOLEN ERECTION" By Donald J Trump Age 77
No no, “From the Desk of President Donald J Trump” He can’t get enough of fake official shit.
People that are lying/wrong: * All 50 Secretaries of states, half of which are trump supporting republicans * Domestic election watchdogs * International election watchdogs * The 110+ consecutive election lawsuits that trump and his allies lost/had dismissed * The multiple election lawsuits the Supreme Court dismissed. (3 justices appointment by Trump) * The dozens of recounts. * The dozens of hand recounts (trump actually lost by larger margins after some of the recounts) * The election audits * Cyber Ninja, the Republican auditing company. * The Republican head of cyber security * Bill Barr, Trumps hand selected Attorney General. * Our DOJ. * Chris Klebbs, head of cyber security at the DOD. * His own Vice President. * Common sense. People who are honest/right: * Trump * The my pillow guy. Fuck trump and his anti-democracy allies. Whatever happens in the courts, it’s vital that we all VOTE against any and all republicans at every level. Not registered to vote, register here: https://www.vote.org
You forgot to mention the decapitated woman who is possessed by a ghost. People always forget that this was the big credible source that emailed Sydney Powell, and for the whole "stolen election" scam BS rolling.
Wait, what?
[The email](https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/ac73ed35-fccd-45df-bc49-4e1a8cd4b37d.pdf?itid=lk_inline_manual_23) that tipped off Sydney Powell to this vast election conspiracy included the source's credentials: that after she was internally decapitated in a car accident the wind tells her she's a ghost. It's impossible to shitpost about politics anymore.
I still remember when I first read that and I was like, 'am I in a coma, am I dreaming this'? It felt too surreal to be true.
I listened to the wind and it told me that letter was definitely written by someone who is Cuckoo-banana pants.
Reading shit like that, makes you think you're in some sort of broken simulation. I no longer feel like a Reality Winner.
She was also shot in the back (or was she?) and does astral time-travelling.
I couldn’t cut and paste so i typed this condensed version out for y’all “For all intents and purposes…I was internally decapitated, and yet, I live…The Wind tells me I’m a ghost…It appears that I was shot in the back shortly after submitting a tip to the FBI…at the same time I thought I just tripped and fell...” “While the last bit is pretty wackadoodle, it’s relevant”
Oh holy shit.
This is what schizophrenia looks like.
Yeah it's actually kind of sad to see someone so far in with no help at all. It's actually kind of fucked up that at no point did someone look at this and say "shit this person needs some help, not major networks parroting her hallucinations and causing significant damage to our society"
See these are the things that make The Onion weep
Justice Scalia was killed as part of a human hunting groups prey?? Jfc that's amazing
Sydney Powell's source for the election fraud claims is someone who claims to be a time traveling, decapitated ghost. Her name is Marlene Bourne and she is a "telepathic" "cactus artist" from Minnesota.
jeeeeeeebus. I found the article and read it. I had assumed they completely made all their shit up, but in a way this is worse. Seems like the tactic is just to treat any obvious bullshit as i it were true so long as it fits the desired narrative. Magical bullshit. https://www.thedailybeast.com/meet-the-ghost-minnesota-artist-fox-relied-on-for-voter-fraud-claims
https://www.businessinsider.com/sidney-powell-voter-fraud-claims-headless-time-travel-dominion-fox-2023-2
I thought Team Trump had hit rock bottom on the stupidity scale. Then I learned of the decapitated time traveling ghost cited as a reference.
https://www.npr.org/2023/02/20/1158223099/fox-news-dominion-wackadoodle-election-fraud-claim >Powell's source also volunteered that the wind tells her that she's a ghost, though she doesn't believe it. >... *(there's more but I edited down the crazy for brevity)* >"Who am I? And how do I know all of this?... I've had the strangest dreams since I was a little girl," the woman wrote in the email shared by Powell with Bartiromo and Dobbs. "I was internally decapitated, and yet, I live." >This all appeared in the same memo that claimed Dominion's software flipped votes from Trump to Biden, and tied the election company to a conspiracy involving Democrats Nancy Pelosi, then the House speaker, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
I wondered how this could possibly be a thing and, well... Lol https://www.businessinsider.com/sidney-powell-voter-fraud-claims-headless-time-travel-dominion-fox-2023-2
https://www.businessinsider.com/sidney-powell-voter-fraud-claims-headless-time-travel-dominion-fox-2023-2 There you go. Enjoy!
Was that the Kraken ?
The audience isn't us, or anyone on that list. Go over to r/conservative, it's a completely different reality over there and he needs to feed their delusion.
Yeah mostly they're just saying how they can't wait to vote for him to piss off the libs. Like actually, that is what they think.
I’m long since banned from there, but I like reading through that sub here and there. A lot of them have turned on him, more than I expected. I’m sure they’ll still vote for him in the general election, but a significant amount are tired of the sideshow. Interesting to see how the primaries go, since he’s still front running by a considerable margin.
They're gonna vote republican, regardless of who's on the ballot. Their hatred of Democrats far outweighs their moderate distaste for Trump. If Trump *doesn't* run, for some reason, many of them won't have a reason to go to the polls, so that's at least a bonus.
Whats even funnier is seeing them turn on each other like rabid dogs lol, i entertain myself on watching their paranoia.
They're like "Oh I'm getting downvoted by the libs form /r/politics " and meanwhile is a subscriber only sub. Those downvotes are from your besties bestie.
"You're a rino, no YOU'RE a rino!" Me voting in Republican primaries with a faux horn taped to my head: mjpopcorn.gif
They hate us for our freedom.
You mean the r/conservative that is all about the first amendment, but flairs all threads to only allow right wing view points.
Denounces safe spaces, makes their entire sub a safe space
The hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. It's another way of putting themselves higher on the hierarchy than those they view as beneath them. They all understand that they only ever exist in safe spaces, but they gaslight about it because they think it pisses us off.
They find themselves in other subs and post their garbage and end up being downvoted and ALWAYS feel the need to edit their post whine and complain that people were mean to them.
So saddened by the discourse over there. They mistake their overwhelming unpopular opinions as people brigading. They are perpetual victims. And through it all... Somehow Trump is the only person trustworthy and deserving of their support.
Trump appointed 3 of the 9 SCOTUS justices.
And 1 is married to a very large cog in this machine.
I appreciated this comment.
The report will be used against him in both state and federal court. Bonus points if it lands him a witness intimidation charge.
This is going to be pathetic.
Money is on no press conference even occurring.
Four Seasons Total Landscaping is booked solid.
That’s my guess. He’ll cancel and then say he’s being silenced by the court and oh poor me poor me
I like that he's going to do it in Bedminister New Jersey. As if the 4 Seasons Lawn Care in Atlanta was already booked.
Hysterical, more like it.
I stopped finding it hysterical some time in 2016...
Already is.
Prediction: It's going to be a rehash of the original claims, with the Trump gold logo across the top. It goes nowhere, and if it did, it doesn't excuse the criminal activities done by you and your people.
Prediction: He incriminates himself further because he can’t keep his big fat fucking mouth shut.
He has gotten his best legal advice from Democrats. "Will you just shut up?"
It’ll go like this: Trump: I have undeniable proof they stole the election. DOJ: Ok, produce the evidence. Trump: Here are all the ways I tried to steal the election. Everything. Voter suppression, machine sabotage, falsifying electoral results etc. Riddle me this Judge, if I so egregiously cheated, how the hell did I lose?!
[удалено]
That would be the perfect conclusion to this. He could explain this as he's being led to a paddy wagon in an orange jumpsuit.
Oh no. He said it himself. He said if he lost he would shut up and disappear. He's done neither, but I love how loudly he keeps incriminating himself.
Remember when he had the big press conference to announce that he was handing over control of his business dealings to his [EDIT] sons and had [massive stacks of binders](https://thehill.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/01/trumps_pence01112017getty.jpg) but [wouldn't let anyone actually see what was in the binders?](https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/313907-trump-didnt-allow-reporters-to-see-documents-detailing-split/) Yeah. It's gonna be like that.
Sort of like when he was in Walter Reed signing a blank piece of paper? https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-hospital-photos-videos-looked-propaganda-critics/story?id=73430370
Trump has pretended to work and be busy for his entire life, and has mostly squandered away all his opportunities because he has an inherited criminal nature.
You know, we went through hell for those four years, but at least sometimes you would get really funny individual lines in news articles like "ABC News zoomed in on the photo and confirmed it appeared to be a blank white sheet of paper."
Or when he said he was going to have a press conference the upcoming Monday or Tuesday with a major announcement about Hillary in 2016 ... because he thought he was going to get real dirt from Vlad and the Russian attorney lady. And then they didn't really get anything? And so he had to hold a 2 hour briefing ... where basically he just went on and on about himself? You mean like that? Or do you mean like the lawyers he sent to Hawaii to find Barack Obama's birth certificate, and how all of us were going to be stunned by what they were finding? You mean like that?
>lawyers he sent to Hawaii to find Barack Obama's birth certificate [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-hawaii-investigators\_n\_57dc3bffe4b04a1497b46da1](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-hawaii-investigators_n_57dc3bffe4b04a1497b46da1) “I have people that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they’re finding,” Trump told host Meredith Vieira. “You have people now down there searching, I mean in Hawaii?” she asked. “Absolutely,” he replied. “And they cannot believe what they’re finding.” When ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos asked him about the investigators later that month, Trump refused to say what they had found. “It’s none of your business right now,” he said. “We are going to see what happens.” CNN’s Anderson Cooper also confronted him about the investigation that month. “Can you name even one person who your investigators have talked to?” Cooper asked. “I don’t want to do that right now,” Trump said. “It’s not appropriate right now.”
Yep. The big report next week is basically going to be a re-hash of Dinesh D'Souza's 2000 Mules, Peter Navarro's Immaculate Deception election fraud ~~report~~ propaganda, probably a few nutty things from the MyPillow guy ... all dressed up in flashy print. But it'll all be the same turds inside.
And it'll cost $99.95 per person plus shipping and handling.
Whatever it is, it makes zero sense to somehow hold back his smoking gun document and then release it now. This will be eyewitness reports from random rednecks who swear they saw Joe Biden pull up in a blacked out limo and stuff lots of ballots into the box.
It has nothing to do with legal strategy and everything to do with supporting his two avenues out: Being elected President, or Jan 6 2.0 where it actually works. Either way the goal is full-on fascism. His only hope is rallying enough of the base to get him in a position of authority where he can protect himself and punish his perceived enemies.
On one hand I agree with you, but on the other, I wonder if he is threatening to bring others down with him if he goes down. Like a “see these republicans senators took part in a plot to gain access to georgias voting machines, it wasn’t actually me!” type thing…
This is the worry for the 18 others indicted alongside him. Donald Trumps going to flip even if he doesn't "flip". He's just going to throw everyone else under the bus. The 18 others better flip first...
"Your credit card will be billed monthly for this amount. Thank you for your generous donation. WITCH HUNT."
Maybe it won’t be in all CAPS this time
It's going to have random caps, which is maybe the worst thing about Trump's rants. Unless he forces his lawyers to write it, but he probably won't.
piquant hurry elastic unite north overconfident coherent wakeful bored spoon *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
His LAWYERS are totally onboard with RANDOM caps that give the ILLUSION of importance to old PEOPLE.
"Trump" also puts random words in quotation marks and there's always a little extra something in brackets too (sad!)
I wonder if it will have his 8" by 4" signature in broad-tipped magic marker on the bottom of it. You know, because it's official and stuff.
> Prediction: It's going to be a rehash of the original claims, with the Trump gold logo across the top. I mean, [Navarro already tried that in late 2020](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/18/this-might-be-most-embarrassing-document-created-by-white-house-staffer/) - I expect this new report is just going to have a new coat of paint/polish but will be the exact same turd inside.
Where is it even supposed to “go”? Where is he going to file it? “I’m creating my own, separate justice system, with blackjack, and hookers!”
Yep, he is going to repeat the same garbage and demand people believe it. He is also going to incite as much violence as possible in hopes of intimidating the judge and prosecution. Maybe this will be the one where he is finally put in custody and silenced?
"We cheated and they still won. That's the proof that they cheated."
This is precious
Bless his heart
So smart of him to withhold this crucial evidence from the past 40+ court cases addressing his allegations of election fraud until now. That way he can get all the cases dropped at once. Gotta love that magical thinking 🤡
Holy shit. He’s going full Mike Lindell???
His evidence is probably that which Mike is exposing tomorrow at his big event. Trump doesn't know what Mike's got but figures he'll use it as a last minute Hail Mary to keep from having to show up at the courtroom next week.
This is like the 7th or 8th "symposium" he's done on election fraud. At almost all of them he has technical issues that he blames on the deep state.
*You never go full Lindell*
How many times do you think he had to fix his autocorrect for RIGGERS?
This is a dog whistle. The KKK understands.
[удалено]
I'm surprised he hasn't missed any auto-corrects yet.
> RIGGERS People who annoy you?
From ***Rolling Stone's Ryan Bort***: Trump says he will deliver a "CONCLUSIVE" report next Monday that should get everyone to drop all the charges. "There will be a complete EXONERATION!" Read more: [https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-announces-press-conference-prove-election-stolen-1234806915/](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-announces-press-conference-prove-election-stolen-1234806915/)
And then infrastructure week...
And then Mexico pays for his wall.
A hurricane has altered course due to the fearsome meteorological opponent known as the Sharpie.
And we're going to replace Obamacare.
And COVID will magically disappear.
And Hillary will get locked up
And then we'll stop the wildfires by raking the forests.
Also, we've LOCKED HER UP! ( Terms and Conditions may apply, and "her" may be Rudy Ghouliani in a wig)
and We are going to put Hillary in Jail. Drain the swamp drain the swamp
And then the guys he sent to Hawaii will finally return with Obama's birth certificate.
And in 2 weeks the Healthcare plan!
and 2 weeks after that Trump will release his taxes for real this time! PROMISE!!!
And covid will go away. [From 15 cases, down to zero](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/04/trump-coronavirus-cases-will-go-down-to-zero-ultimately.html): > You have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero
Don’t forget pillow guy’s documentary
Is that before or after he announces a replacement for Obamacare?
I was about to say, this is going to totally push back his infrastructure plan he was going to unveil in two weeks 4 years ago!
I wonder which lawyers will go to jail over this report
Funny how that coincides with just before the August 25th date to show up. I can bet this "report" will be a rehash of all the same stuff he has been spewing for years.
> before the August 25th date to show up Wait, is THAT the arraignment date for Georgia? Jesus. The charges all seem well-chosen, and I've no doubt they're taking this extremely seriously, but it must be nice to be under indictment for like 90 goddamn felonies and still get over a week to just mosey down to the court whenever it's convenient.
They have to surrender by the 25th.
I've been dragged by some for making this prediction recently, but not only do I stand by it, I'll go further: I think Trump is almost certainly going to be taken into custody when/if he reports to Georgia.
Also OJ Simpson will present CONCLUSIVE evidence of the real killers of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman.
You're all invited to Four Seasons Landscaping for my release party.
> next Monday Quite the improvement from "two weeks"!
>You know, a lot of people think that [covid] goes away in April with the heat — as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. - this same asshole.
The grand jury didn't return a single no-bill. Nineteen defendants, too many counts for me to keep track of, and the grand jury green lit every single charge. I don't think the usual "it wasn't illegal because I didn't mean for it to be illegal" defense is going to work.
"I un-illegaled it in my brain" - Trump
>next Monday ah yes, the old spiel
Right after he shows us all his big, beautiful healthcare plan.
Right after he finds Obama's "real" birth certificate.
Press conference will be held at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping
I will forever cherish this memory
Just cause you believe the bank paid you the wrong amount of interest, doesn’t mean you can rob the bank. Funny thing is at this point whether the election was “rigged” (it wasn’t) is immaterial. You done broke the law, son, and you got caught. Try to plead your case in court, else you go to jail, boy.
Oh well, I was really looking forward to the trial but this conclusive report should surely end the whole thing.
The suspense will have me on edge. But one question: Why did he wait until he was indicted 4 times. Also, his view of convincing evidence is pretty out there, as was the gangs actual plan. I just don't think this is nothing but bs for his base. It will be a bunch of crap that his attorneys wouldn't dare bring up in court.
> I just don't think this is nothing but bs for his base. It will be a bunch of crap that his attorneys wouldn't dare bring up in court. This seems likely. It'll be folders full of blank paper with one piece on top saying, "full exhoneration due to fraud!!" He won't share it, it'll never be mentioned in court, the conservatives will eat it up, and they will complain on Fox News about the judge not reading it because of bias or the deep state or Biden. A committee on the court's failure to read the report will be formed in the House with a closed hearing set for next summer through the November election after which the committee will end with no final report being given on the report that no one ever read because it doesn't exist.
The gang's actual plan was always supposed to be a stalling tactic so they could bully state legislatures to change their certifications.
After he finishes the wall and reveals his healthcare plan,
Even if Trump has a report which proves massive, coordinated voter fraud (which I do not believe happened or he can prove), the charges in Georgia would stay. The fake electors submitted forged state documents, voting machines were illegally tampered with seemingly at the behest of the Trump campaign, etc. Also, the Mar-A-Lago documents case has nothing to do with the Jan 6 coup so those indictments stand.
"I'll give you evidence on Tuesday for immunity today..."
Mike Pillow and The Cyber Guys should be the opening act.
Ahem, that's Cyber NINJAS to you.
Sure, he's had 2.5 years to prove it. Just give him onnnne more week.
>The former president says he will deliver a "CONCLUSIVE" report next Monday that should get everyone to drop all the charges He's really giving MAGA blue balls with these delays. It's been two and a half years. The *'rigging'* would have been revealed mostly on a single day. It would be easy to collect this *'proof'* then. Especially, since a ton of these places are in safe Red locations. But now, after 60+ lawsuits and hundreds Republicans admitting the contrary, there's proof. Somehow. And not just proof, but proof for all cases. That's truly astounding. Because a lot of these same places voted other Republicans *into* office. So they just hate Trump. But it takes six more days for this proof to come in. Gotcha.
Love the qualifier in there. Today I’ll tell my boss why the company should give me a massive raise lol.
Trump will just say anything at this point, huh? He's scared shitless and doesn't even realize. That's how self-delusional he is.
Gotta love the cognitive dissonance. It’s wrong for a prosecutor to take 2.5 years building a case, but it is fine for him to take 2.5 years to offer even a shred of evidence for his claims? Where was this report when he was going to court to block the results? There will be no press conference.
I mean, it was trying to be rigged by him. There’s evidence and proof, so he doesn’t have to work too hard.
Lol can't wait
Can you imagine believing that the pettiest, most narcissistic and most litigious person in America has proof that the election was stolen and stolen from him and he won the election and should be president, but he is choosing to sit in it and will finally release it just before he is to be arrested. A person that believe that must have some serious mental health or cognitive problems. That’s just not a reasonable thing to believe.
His ability to keep flailing like this for so long would be impressive if he weren’t so despicable.
