I know that with all the other cases against him this one seems a bit like writing a speeding ticket for a bail jumper driving a stolen car full of dead cheerleaders, but we have to take these little moments as they come to us.
That Todd Blanche pendejo managed to dance the light fandango on the judge’s last nerve a time or two or three. Didn’t seem to move the needle much, hey?
But, 48 to 64 grand jurors evaluated the evidence and indicted him. Twelve jurors just found him guilty. So, everyone one’s lying except dumpster? Yea, right. But keep a weather eye on this asshole, because he and his cult ain’t done yet.
The original jury pool contained upwards of 200 people. The vast majority were excused, either by the judge or by the lawyers for the two sides. After rejecting 95% of them in a herculean effort to be fair, 12 jurors remained, none of them Trump lovers or Trump haters. They were all ordinary people, and they quickly and unanimously convicted Trump on all charges.
There’s no way to pretend the jurors were political enemies, or liars, or personally chosen by Joe Biden. And yet every single one of them believed Trump was guilty. Every single one.
If only Gene Wilder could have temporarily stood in for the Judge at the last moment and angrily and loudly proclaimed “You Lose! — Good Day Sir!” I would have paid real money to see or hear that.
P’raps the coolest part was that it wasn’t just, “Yeah, fuck this guy.” The jury asked to revisit a few bits, dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, before dropping the hammer. Really nice work there.
And I hope it doesn’t cost them. TFG’s monkeys have been known to fling some shit.
Foreign money and short seller traders / algorithms are keep his stock alive. Wonder who is buying him this week? Putin maybe? I also wonder why Biden didn’t cancel the debate. You can’t debate a convicted felon, technically on July 11th, sociopath who thinks the truth is only in his head. Watching that debate would be like watching “The Toxic Avenger” 10 time in a row.
Guess I’m not the only one who thinks it’s a huge mistake for Joe The Biden to give tRumpus any more air time. Me….I wouldn’t give any Rethuglicans two seconds of acknowledgment since all they do is gaslight, lie, fabricate and whine. And NEVER tell you how they would actually fix any of their grievances
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Do it, you take the chance of getting drowned in the rapids of TFG’s putrid stream of unconsciousness. Skip it and they call you a wuss.
I think José should say: “Hey, look, you want me to argue with a seditionist, dig up ol’ Jeff Davis and I’ll have a go at him. He could talk a good line of shit, had experience in the military and in government, and never got impeached or convicted of a felony. Plus, even as dead as he is, I bet he still smells better than this fat sonofabitch.”
OK. Time to up the ante. Watching that debate would be worse than watching “American Flyers” 10 times in a row.
The mystery to me is why reputable media would cover dumpster anymore. No nothing new there. Let the cult members go to faux news or similar propaganda machines for their daily dose of bullshit.
Same reason all the bike rags banged out a half-dozen hot takes every time Dance Pharmstrong farted: Eyeballs, eyeballs, eyeballs.
TFG still drives traffic. There are a dozen pieces on The Guardian homepage right now, another dozen at The New York Times, and 15 at The Washington Post. Is it newsworthy that the fat fuck is making a campaign stop at some UFC fight in Joisey? Mother Times seems to think so. At least she got the headline right: “Donald Trump, now a convict, heads to a U.F.C. match in New Jersey.”
Even Rudy the Mook gets some ink, the tired ould hoor. Now there’s a dude whose ship has sailed, caught fire, exploded, and sunk.
You’re right of course, and nothing will stop them when they are forced to beg for every buck. I, however, turn 75 tomorrow. Time is short, more or less. I will not waste another breath on the asshole.
Seventy-five? Happy birthday, hoss! Keep the shiny side up on this next lap, and all the others, too.
Mr. POB: 75? Well, that is something. But 900, now that is something! 900 months old. That a lot of months to howl at! Congratulations and enjoy that birthday cake. After a pleasant ride/run/walk/swim, etc.
As for expelling breath for a convicted felon, nope. But don’t hesitate to enjoy thinking of him when passing gas. Insert mental image of Blazing Saddles here.
Thanks fellas. Concerning that guy, I will steal a lick off Slim Pickens. I think we had had enough. Has NPR wondering as well.
Yeah and now he can’t go to Canada, even as a foreign head of state. Because Canadians might be super polite, but they don’t fuck around. Or allow felons entry to their country.
The prosecution told everyone initially that the case was about hush money, manipulating the polls, and his public image as a candidate. The defense fell for it, argued that he paid off Stormy for personal reasons. But the case was actually about falsifying financial documents, which was pretty much open and shut, with or without the defense stepping on a thousand rakes.
Of course, the NYT still hasn’t caught up, but that’s more of the same.
Meanwhile, have you seen what’s going on at The Washington Post? As Sally Buzbee steps down as executive editor rather than embrace the Redcoats a-comin’, it’s Forward, into the past, led by White Males of British extraction.
As Dan Froomkin notes on X:
There is one and only one way the Washington Post can dig itself out of the hole it dug and putting a right-wing Brit in charge suggests they are doing the opposite.
Mad Blog Media 
Yes! Thank you DA , prosecution, judge, court, jurors and alternates for your service.
I know that with all the other cases against him this one seems a bit like writing a speeding ticket for a bail jumper driving a stolen car full of dead cheerleaders, but we have to take these little moments as they come to us.
Yes, and at least a President can’t pardon him for this conviction.
That trio of attorneys could not get one, ONE, juror to see TFG clear.
That Todd Blanche pendejo managed to dance the light fandango on the judge’s last nerve a time or two or three. Didn’t seem to move the needle much, hey?
I’m lost on the meaning of TFG.
But, 48 to 64 grand jurors evaluated the evidence and indicted him. Twelve jurors just found him guilty. So, everyone one’s lying except dumpster? Yea, right. But keep a weather eye on this asshole, because he and his cult ain’t done yet.
TFG is shorthand for The Former Guy. I had been thinking it was This Fuckin’ Guy, as in a mob movie.
“This fuckin’ guy … anybody gonna pull this stone from my shoe?”
Kevin Drum thinks there’s no way to spin the jury as a conspiracy (though Cthulhu knows TFG will try).
If only Gene Wilder could have temporarily stood in for the Judge at the last moment and angrily and loudly proclaimed “You Lose! — Good Day Sir!” I would have paid real money to see or hear that.
The world needs more Gene Wilder. We should’ve cloned him while we had the chance.
The New York jury’s unanimous verdict reminds me of Churchill’s reason why he didn’t vote for a friend : “I know him”.
P’raps the coolest part was that it wasn’t just, “Yeah, fuck this guy.” The jury asked to revisit a few bits, dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, before dropping the hammer. Really nice work there.
And I hope it doesn’t cost them. TFG’s monkeys have been known to fling some shit.
I’ll hold the applause until the appeals court rules on the felony enhancement. Meanwhile, the Orange Turd got his comeuppance, finally.
