Ex President* Trump

[GoCubsGo]

Am I the only one worried about this trump appointed maga judge pretending to deliberate over appointing this special master at trump's request?

Actually what I've been confused about is how does this trump appointed judge even have jurisdiction?

Me too. It all reminds me of Muller's bs about not even trying to interview trump.

No.

Aileen Mercedes Cannon (born 1981) is a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

The magistrate that issued the search warrant is also with the Southern District of Florida. He serves beneath the judges. I THINK it's always possible to bump things up from a magistrate to a judge. There are 18 judges in the District. Idk if TRE45ON appealed directly to her or if there's a rotation. She's not just a Trumpette, she's been a member of the Federalist Society since 2005.

And she was appointed after trump lost.

I hope she sticks with the law. I haven't heard anyone explain why trump should get this Special bs.

Technically, she was appointed in May of 2020. Moscow Mitch and gang confirmed her a week after Dolt .45 lost. Her hearing was in July and her nomination was reported out of the Judiciary Committee in September. Wiki doesn't say why it all took 5 1/2 months, but I know that there are summer and election recesses in there.

"President Biden‘s speech yesterday, he spoke tough truths that had to be said out-loud. This country is under attack from within. And the attack is led by a madman.

Donald Trump may be about to throw America into a crisis that could make January 6th look like a romp in the park. It has to do with something called “narcissistic collapse.”'

***

"Deep down inside, though, he knows he’s a failure. He’d failed at school; he failed repeatedly at business; he failed at marriage; he pissed away the entirety of the more than $400 million he stole from his father’s estate and still had to be bailed out by the Russians; he’d even failed at being a child loved by his parents and siblings.

His narcissism is his defense against this history of failure and the inevitable shame associated with a lifetime of it. And his narcissism is of the most severe variety — the grandiose form — where he makes grand claims to the effect of, “I, alone, can fix it,” and, “I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and my people would still love me and vote for me.”

This is the behavior of criminals and mobsters: in his father and Roy Cohn — both mobsters and narcissists themselves — he learned from the best.

When narcissists are publicly outed as failures, particularly if the outing is public and high-profile, it often provokes a condition called narcissistic collapse.

For a narcissist like Trump with considerable power, the ability to harm organizations/institutions, or who can meaningfully threaten damage to other people, this is the moment of maximum danger for those around him."

***

"But at some point — probably, depending on how this all plays out, when or if he’s charged with a crime — he’ll confront the inevitable truth that he’s a fraud and a failure, and has been one his entire life. A fraud and failure who sold out his own nation just for money, power, and glory. Who not only committed treason, but has now lost the entire game.

That will be his Fuhrerbunker moment, his abused-wife-is-leaving moment, his Jim Jones-in-the-jungle moment, when he will fully turn on America and lash out, trying to destroy whatever he can in and of this nation.

That’s when he’ll call his people to murderous violence.

That’s when stochastic terrorism could rear its ugly head in a widespread way across the country, with “lone wolf” murderers picking off perceived “Trump enemies.”

That’s when the “civil war” — violent attacks on politicians; Democratic and “disloyal Republican” celebrities; and authority-figure government employees like police, judges, and members of the FBI — predicted and fretted about by so many, will be closest.

I’ll leave it to actual professionals in the fields of psychology and psychiatry to tell us how best to deal with — or even head off — this possible eventuality.

From my perspective, it seems the best thing would be to incarcerate him as quickly as possible to minimize the damage he can do (things went quiet during Hitler’s time in prison, too), allowing his narcissistic followers to retreat into the fantasy that he’s merely a martyr. It might buy some time.

But I can’t claim to have the answers; I just know the history. And I know that we should have a conversation about this — and hopefully those within our government are doing that right now — as part of our national dialogue about recovering from the damage inflicted on America by Trump and his MAGA Republicans over the past six years."

Well, trump going to prison would make him a martyr to the cultists. And Hitler didn't even come to power until after he was in prison. If they put trump in jail, they better make sure it's an effective life sentence.

I think Trumpette commitment is shallower than it seems, that the numbers of the true radicals are fewer than they appear, and that the willingness to use violence or risk major prison time doesn't extend much beyond the inept J6 and the occasional assassin or wannabe assassin . . . or at least that's what I want to believe . IMO TRE45ON is too flawed and too much of a clown for large numbers to really create civil war. After all, the ones that we're familiar with - CPF & LNF - are crybabies and idiots.

"Last week, the weirdo — he's a weirdo — Mark Zuckerberg came to the White House, kissed my ass all night," Trump said during the speech, going on to mimic their alleged conversation: "'Sir, I'd love to have dinner, sir. I'd love to have dinner. I'd love to bring my lovely wife.' All right, Mark, come on in. 'Sir, you're number one on Facebook. I'd like to congratulate you.' Thank you very much, Mark. I appreciate it."'

"Last week" in the White House? It wasn't even last year. Not that I'm a fan of Mark, but Dolt .45 is overcompensating for his jealousy over the fact that Zuckerberg is an actual genius who created his $127 billion wealth almost entirely on his own, not with daddy's money. That said, Mark is a weirdo. Speaking of weirdos:

Federal grand jury investigating January 6 sets sights on Trump's Save America PAC

A federal grand jury is examining one of former President Donald Trump's main political and fundraising vehicles, the Save America leadership PAC, in an expansion of the criminal investigation into the events surrounding the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021.

Federal prosecutors issued several subpoenas to former Trump administration officials, former campaign and communications aides and people currently advising Trump or Save America. William Russell, a senior adviser to Trump, was the recipient of one of the subpoenas on Wednesday.

According to multiple sources familiar with the subpoenas, which were issued by a grand jury in Washington, DC, the Justice Department is seeking information related to the formation, fundraising and expenditures of Save America, which has amassed more than $100 million in contributions since it was formed in November 2020.

According to one source familiar with the language in the subpoenas, investigators may be looking into whether people associated with the Save America PAC defrauded people out of money using claims they knew to be false about the 2020 election being stolen....

The DOJ's investigation, already the largest in the department's history, has expanded beyond the hundreds of rioters charged in connection with their actions that day. More recently, investigators have looked at efforts by Trump and allies to overturn the 2020 election results, including efforts to put forth slates of fake electors.

GoMerrickGo! We're learning that the entire Pumpkinhead "admin" was a criminal enterprise.

... "Throughout the committee's investigation, we found evidence that the Trump campaign and its surrogates misled donors as to where their funds would go and what they would be used for," Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a Democrat on the committee, said during the hearing. "So, not only was there the big lie, there was the big rip-off.
Donors deserve to know where their funds are really going. They deserve better than what President Trump and his team did."

In an interview with CNN after the hearing, Lofgren said the committee found evidence that Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former member of Trump's 2020 presidential campaign, was paid a $60,000 speaking fee for introducing Donald Trump Jr., her fiancé, at the "Stop the Steal" rally on the Ellipse that preceded the US Capitol riot.

Lock her up!

... Senior investigative counsel for the committee, Amanda Wick, said in a video presentation during the June hearing that the committee found Trump and his allies raised $250 million from false election fraud claims. The committee said that most of the money raised in this period went to the Save America PAC, not to election-related litigation.

Lock Dolt .45 up!

"Save America PAC made millions of dollars of contributions to pro-Trump organizations, including $1 million to Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadow's charitable foundation, $1 million to the America First Policy Institute, a conservative organization, which employs several former Trump administration officials, $204,857 to the Trump Hotel Collection, and over $5 million to Event Strategies Inc, the company that ran President Trump's January 6 rally on the ellipse," Wick said....

So trump showed up unexpectedly and unannounced in D.C. tonight from New Jersey looking like he's fresh from the golf course and still wearing golf shoes.

Wow. The article doesn't say what the Israeli reaction was when they found out, but maybe they just blew it off as Crazy PINO raving since he was otherwise bending over for Nuttyyahoo in every way possible. I wonder if Jordan's king is pissed off that it never went anywhere.
