Make sure he gets hanged as he’s admitted to so many crimes.

The prosecution has a far more reliable witness.

The reality is that Donald Trump’s statements are ONLY as witness for the prosecution, ironically, NOT for the defense.

The irony is that anything Donald Trump voluntarily chooses to say to the media can and will be used against him in a court of law.

Jack Smith is perfectly free to cherry-pick whatever incriminating statements made by Donald Trump that he wants to show to a jury. But Donald Trump cannot rebut them. His lawyers cannot even show alternative video footage that would tend to exculpate him.

The minute Donald Trump (or his legal representatives) introduce Donald Trump’s own words, it is deemed voluntary testimony, a waiver of his Fifth Amendment rights and subjects him to cross examination without the protection of the Fifth Amendment in play any longer.

So keep talking, Donald, keep talking.

His boast that he has “all the best words” is so satisfying right now.

Trump vs Trump ? (The tie is too long)

“Let’s roll the tape.”

Only trump can be the procecutor and defendant at the same time

He’s well known for talking out of both sides of his…head.

You could also argue that he’s witless for the defense.

No worries, the stooge he has in the judges chair will give him a pass. Why the prosecution allows this woman who has proven she has no regard for law when it comes to trump from a previous case to serve in this case is beyond me. Unless of course they WANT to lose.

TFG: Open mouth, insert foot, chew vigorously.

He swears on the judge’s catty that he’ll tell whatever he says is the truth

Hopefully, he’s fubared either way.

Or is it “Witless.”

Everything looks fine to me, trump has everything under control. Genius will always rise to the top.

His own lawyers probably wish they could get a gag order on him.

America’s nightmare thanks to republican traitors.

As Donald Trump finally faces serious consequences for his decades-long crime spree, he has become more antisemitic. This is true more generally for the MAGA movement, the Republican Party, and the larger right wing during the Trumpocene – but especially since the coup attempt on Jan. 6, and now the indictments of Donald Trump and his cabal for his and their crimes against democracy and society. Trump will only become more bold and gross as the 2024 presidential election approaches and the walls of justice close in.

Antisemitism, like other forms of racism and white supremacy, must be exposed and directly engaged if it is to be driven out of American life.

Following his arrest and indictment in Miami for allegedly violating the Espionage Act, Donald Trump flew back to his golf resort in New Jersey, where in a speech to his MAGA cultists, the traitor ex-president railed against special counsel Jack Smith with racist and antisemitic tropes and stereotypes, as Chris Walker detailed in Truthout:

Citing the special counsel’s remarkable legal bona fides, Trump somehow spun those attributes to formulate an attack against Smith that only his supporters would seemingly understand. He even appeared to suggest that Smith’s work at the International Criminal Court was somehow indicative of his failings as a lawyer.

“It’s no wonder this raging lunatic was shipped off to The Hague to prosecute warfare rules using globalist tribunals not beholden to the Constitution, or the rule of law,” Trump told his adoring supporters.

Notably, Trump’s criticism of Smith included the antisemitic “globalist” terminology, which alludes to a conspiracy theory that alleges Jewish elites are trying to run the affairs of the world behind the scenes. The anti-Jewish attacks against Smith, whose religious faith is not well-documented, isn’t new territory for Trump, writer David Margolick, writing an op-ed for The Nation earlier this year, has noted.

Don’t really see why this case even needs lawyers or a jury.. the evidence is pretty clear.

My favorite quote about the *malignant narcissistic psychopath:

“Trump is unloved in his own house. A figure of ridicule, a theatrical creation, he is almost sympathetic. He was told by the greedy and the outright stupid that he would make a swell president. The Liar’s Paradox has spun out of control, with liars lying to a liar who believed the lie. What would that be called? Fox News, I think.” – Richard Cohen

Donald Trump’s allies have reacted furiously after House Speaker and fellow Republican Party member Kevin McCarthy doubted whether the former president was the “strongest” candidate for the 2024 election.

McCarthy was pressed during an interview with CNBC on Tuesday over Trump’s 2024 presidential election chances and the series of legal issues the former president is facing.

He said: “Can Trump beat Biden? Yeah, he can beat Biden.”

Wow, I’m convinced, snerk!

Jack Smith Subpoenas Bedminster Security Footage

Is there video of Trump handling the stolen Iran War document?

How will a jury ever be seated? One would have to live under a rock to not have a strong biased opinion, one way or the other.

Trump left office with his stolen documents on Jan 20, 2021

In October 2021, this story came out.

CIA admits to losing dozens of informants around the world: NYT

Leading counterintelligence officials issued a memo to all of the CIA’s global stations saying that a concerning number of U.S. informants were being captured and executed.

The CIA’s counterintelligence mission center investigated dozens of incidents in the last few years that involved killings, arrests or compromises of foreign informants. In an unusual move, the message sent via a top secret cable included the specific number of agents killed by other intelligence agencies, according to The New York Times.

Officials said that level of detail is a sign of the significance of the cable. Announcing the specific number of killings is rare as that figure is typically held under wraps from the public and even from some CIA employees, the Times noted.

The cable, which also cited the issue of putting “mission over security,” comes amid recent efforts by countries like Russia, China, Iran and Pakistan to find CIA informants and turn them into double agents, the Times reported.

Trump sues E Jean Carroll for defamation as Giuliani speaks to Jan 6 investigators

For a guy who pleads the 5th a lot, he sure incriminates himself.

Given the judge in the case is a Trump appointee, has ruled in his favor (and been overturned on appeal), and tends to rule against the government, I have little doubt she will let him off with a wrist-slap if anything.

Fox News host: Trump attorneys ‘about to have a heart attack’ because he won’t shut up

Fox News hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade disagreed on Wednesday about whether former President Donald Trump’s team had leaked audio tapes believed to be evidence in the government documents case against him. In a recording obtained by CNN, Trump can be heard discussing documents that might have included Iran attack plans.

His ability to talk out of several orifices simultaneously is unparalleled. Janus had nothing on him.

I would prefer he gets a firing squad.

No Club Fed for this one! I wanna see him breakin’ rocks in the hot sun!

A defendant is not required to take the stand in his own defense, but will Mr. Giant Ego be able to resist the opportunity to just go on and on about how great he is and how nothing he’s ever done in his entire life is anything short of gloriously successful? This may be the first trial in American history to last multiple years.

He’s his own worst enemy. May he convict himself.

Hoist with his own petard.

He can’t shut up because 1. he needs CONSTANT affirmation from others of his existence and 2. he needs to pedal his lie factory as fast as he can lest it fall over like a moribund bicycle. If that man were ever forced, somehow, to be introspective I do believe he would implode completely.

Every time he opens his mouth……………….

I’ve ‘never seen anyone in government’ so dangerous to national security as Trump: Bob Woodward

Legendary journalist Bob Woodward tore into former President Donald Trump in an interview on CNN Wednesday evening, calling him the largest threat to national security he had ever seen from any U.S. government official.This comes amid the release of an audio tape of Trump boasting to patrons of his New Jersey golf club about possessing highly classified defense information about an attack on Iran — which he now denies — and reporting that he was motivated to do so by anger at Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley for working to constrain his post-2020 election impulses.

Imagine what the rest of the world thinks as the watch the MAGA-Republican love affair with a sociopath. Don’t mourn for us Argentina!
