    Mobs of raptured Republicans have begun to gather this morning in revenant worship at the Fulton County jail.

    Asked if she thought Trump won the 2020 election, Harmon said, “I’m sure he has proof.”

    In almost three years of ceaseless bleating and pipe-bomb mob attacking, he has never produced any proof.

    Once your in that cult there is no getting back out.

    Haley drew boos from the audience last night.

    It’s almost as if she doesn’t know how to be a good American Republican.

    I think the reason Trump avoids and sidesteps overt calls for or predictions of political violence is that he suspects the response from his Republican supporters would not be politically useful one.

    His days of being capable of turning out overwhelming thousands of crazed, pumped-up, violent cop fighters came to an end after January 6th. Directly calling for a violent resistance and then getting instead a prayer circle of love-sick grandmothers would make him look like the weakened fool that he is. And directly inspiring a handful of crazed violent loners to go out and murder shopkeepers with rainbow flags or local public health officials turns people against him.

    So I think that leaves him largely frozen where he is, concern-trolling the political violence without ever going far enough to excite Tucker Carlson or Charlie Kirk. He can still hope that the potential threat remains viable and might have some political effect without ever producing anything close to what they like to imagine.

    Over here at The White House, where we just keep busy running things, curing COVID, creating record numbers of new jobs, and humiliating small Russian dictators, we want to take a quick timeout this morning and express our sincere thanks to Ambassador Haley for all the useful material she provided in last night’s debate for our fall campaign next year.

    Of course it goes without saying that we intend to run on Trump’s record of failure.
    But it’s helpful to have prominent Republicans who are doing it for us.

    It’s almost as if she doesn’t know how to be a good AmericanRepublican.

    And Samantha Powers, also once the US Ambassador to the United Nations, didn’t know how to be a good AmericanDemocrat when she correctly called Hillary Clinton a monster.

    What is it about you, I looked it up, that is so frightened by strong women willing to speak truth?

  18. 18

    I missed where Samantha Power tried to run for President.
    I did not miss where a Shit-Lord Crybaby, desperately disappointed and humiliated by Fat Midget’s total collapse, has sought to shift his aspirations to the politically failed former Governor of a small southern state.

    Next up: Haley’s polls plummet (from 3.5?), and the Shit-Lord Crybaby is disappointed and humiliated again. Another pivot follows. And we know where all that pivoting finally lands. Not a question of “if”.
    Only a question of “when”.

  20. 20

    In my morning readings I noticed that Governor Haley dodged when asked whether or not she would support a federally imposed, nationwide ban on all abortions after 15 weeks. In the past she has often pledged to address abortion directly only to dodge.

    It actually makes some sense for the Shit-Lord Crybaby to draw comparisons to Hillary Clinton. She serves as another example of a “strong woman” unwilling to directly address a complicated and divisive issue.

  21. 21

    when she correctly called Hillary Clinton a monster.

    heh.. a word said in the heat of the battle for the Dem nomination. ya know, the one the black guy got. Power apologized and resigned from the campaign.

    Trump’s new Georgia lawyer sounds a lot like Bryan Kohberger’s defender: “My client looks forward to be fully exonerated when he has his day in court.”

    But the prosecution case against Trump is even stronger than Idaho’s case against Kohberger. All Idaho has is the accused’s DNA on the knife sheath; Georgia has the alleged perp brandishing the bloody knife in public screaming “I did it!”

    https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/24/politics/trump-georgia-lawyer/index.html

  25. 25

    24,
    I’d say the reason any Georgia lawyer would sound giddy and positive about defending a Georgia RICO case is that he knows he’s good for at least four years of pretrial billings, no matter what the evidence against his client.

    Defendant Trump (and the RNC) have become a money pump for a select group of shameless criminal trial lawyers. And the smart ones among them understand how to keep the pump primed.

  26. 26

    @20 Reminiscent of her unwillingness to address the Confederate flag flying on statehouse grounds.

    If she can’t even stand up to South Carolina racists, Nikki Haley shouldn’t be president. Xi and Putin would have her for lunch.

  29. 29

    Continuing on 25,
    it’s entirely possible this new attorney representing Trump is a true believer and even possibly and ethical and decent criminal defense attorney.

    There’s the law as we might like it to be. And then there is the law as we find it. The criminal RICO statute in Georgia is not good.
    While it may be a fine and very powerful tool for prosecutors, to me at least, it appears to be a plea bargain machine. To any average defendant threatened with a RICO prosecution the pressure to reach an early agreement is overwhelming. And making that situation even more fraught and perilous is the fact that probably fewer than 1% of qualified attorneys admitted to the Georgia bar could even consider taking them as a client. In Trump’s case there is a good chance that his original Georgia attorney agreed only to represent him through first appearance and that it was understood they would need to enter new counsel right away.

    That’s because the way the statute is constructed there is no way to a speedy trial that would not also guarantee conviction, regardless of the nature or quality of discovery. Most of the available defenses are affirmative ones, meaning that the defense must prepare for trial with their own independent presentation of facts produced from their own independent investigation. It is not enough to challenge and discredit the prosecution case and then rely on the jury to apply the correct standard of proof.

    So at the very minimum a Georgia RICO case requires a year or more. Often much more. Only a tiny percentage of criminal defendants can afford to finance such a defense effectively. And only a tiny percentage of reasonably qualified Georgia criminal defense attorneys can suspend their practices for a year or more to devote all their efforts to a single client and not find themselves out of business at the end.

    My guess is there are a lot of criminal defense and criminal appellant practitioners in Georgia who despise the state’s RICO statute and have been fighting for reforms for years. Some may see this case as an opportunity to focus attention and cast a spotlight onto the glaring defects in the law in hopes of gaining some traction in the Georgia legislature for the reforms they have been seeking.

    Good for them. And in the mean time I hope they bill the living shit out of Trump and the RNC. “Everybody gets a new car! You get a new car! And you get a new car! And you get a new car!”

    Power regrets Clinton ‘monster’ jab
    https://www.politico.com/story/2013/10/samantha-power-hillary-clinton-097781
    In 2008, Power resigned from the Barack Obama campaign after telling a newspaper Obama’s then-primary opponent was “a monster,” for which she quickly apologized.

    “It was beyond searing. I mean you lose your temper, and you’re in a campaign, and things go back and forth. But it just completely broke my heart that there is a fair amount of negativity heaped upon her that I find massively unfair, and the idea that I could have contributed in some way to that narrative, it was terrible,” Power told Guthrie.

    A strong woman willing to speak truth and say she made a mistake, but that doesn’t matter to the greedy racist incel, since that truth destroys his lies. The greedy racist incel is not able to let go of the massively unfair negativity heaped upon Hillary. He has such a problem with powerful liberal women.

    In today’s Giuliani rant, Fani Willis is “not an American,” and Obama and Hillary Clinton were “trained by communists.”

    https://www.rawstory.com/rudy-giuliani-fani-willis/

    Meanwhile, Gym Jordan is opening an investigation into Fani Willis, and has begun issuing House subpoenas for documents from her prosecution file. It occurs to me it’s unlikely he has RICO reform in mind.

    In other legal news, the Arizona Supreme Court has issued a ruling against defeated GOP AG candidate Abe Hamadeh and the Republican National Committee that,

    “Because Petitioners were not only aware that they needed a final judgment to seek appellate relief but also misrepresented to this Court that they had sought such relief when they had not done so, and because this representation was the underlying premise upon which this petition was brought, and because all of Petitioners’ claims for trial court error can be presented on appeal, we find that the special action unnecessarily expanded the proceeding and compelled Respondents to incur the unnecessary expense of filing their court-ordered response.

    “Therefore, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED granting Respondent Mayes’ and Respondent Fontes’ request against Petitioners … and for their reasonable attorney fees incurred to respond to the petition.”

    https://www.rawstory.com/republican-party-arizona-sanctions/

    Did these stumblefucks actually believe they wouldn’t be sanctioned for trying to bypass the court of appeals by lying to the state supreme court? Apparently so.

    “It occurs to me it’s unlikely he has RICO reform in mind.”

    He can’t have much of anything in mind other than political theater.

    He’s essentially powerless. Perhaps at some distant future date a court with some authority will weigh in and clarify Congress’ subpoena power and we can all nod in observation and interest.

    But it isn’t as if closeted, shower masturbating high school wrestling coaches from Ohio can cut the Fulton County Georgia prosecutor’s budget. Nor could they, even if they could muster the votes. But as we now know Republicans can’t even muster the votes to keep the government open for business.
    But at least they built a WALL.

    I believe it was the great statesman and talented Congressional orator from history, Daniel Webster, who famously and eloquently once said:
    “Shit into one hand. And subpoena into the other.
    Then watch and see which hand fills up first.”

    This morning we learned the shooter who opened fire in a well-known California biker bar, killing 3 and wounding 6 before being taken down by police, was a retired police sergeant.

    His estranged wife, who recently filed for divorce, was among the injured and is believed to have been the target of the shooting.

    Cops aren’t who you think they are. They’re blue collar guys who take jobs in law enforcement because it’s one of the few good-paying jobs left that don’t require a college degree.

    Willingness to do that work and face its dangers in exchange for attractive pay and benefits seems to be more of a factor in the hiring process than character, temperament, and emotional suitability for that line of work.

  45. 45

    Willingness to do that work and face its dangers…

    …which work largely consist of driving around in a car, contacting crime victims and identifying witnesses (or not!), taking inaccurate statements from them, and then ponderously filing written reports with 8th grade level spelling and punctuation errors, and which dangers largely consist of prolapsed hemorrhoids and hypertension.

    I would never argue that the job requires a college degree. But neither should it be a calling for frustrated “heroes”.

  51. 51

    49,

    …the people dying, and getting hurt, and getting murdered… it’s unacceptable.

    The people dying, and getting hurt, and getting murdered starts when Republican political leaders like Brown pander to The Angry Church Lady in Grand Rapids who wants the County Director of Public Health arrested and put on trial for having a 3 inch by 5 inch rainbow on the front door of the teen crisis center.

    And the people dying, and getting hurt, and getting murdered accelerates when Republican political leaders like Brown face the inescapable realization that they can’t hope to sustain their political careers without The Angry Church Lady. And so they hire a communications strategy firm to deploy a messaging campaign that ratifies all her fears and all her bigotry.

    What guys like him saw back when Maverick was shoring up his softened right flank with Caribou Barbie, was that the electorate was beginning it’s once in a generation massive shift away from Boomers, and that their own short term survival was going to depend on “puttin’ the skeer into ’em”. Driving a few thousand trans kids towards suicide is just a cost of business to them.

    Everyone can focus on The FuckHump, little Hitler wannabe, but the real focus should be all the other co-conspirators.

    We should be asking ourselves how can individuals like them do what they did. Theses are the individuals that say or portray themselves as constitutionalists, all things Americana, the fighters of Justice, patriots, lovers of democracy.

    I think you let The zfuckHump go, and give the rest very harsh sentences after tried. Along with the condition that they could never be granted pardons.

    They are the bigger fish to fry.

    Plus, nobody would ever care about The FuckHump again, and nobody cares about the co-conspirators, and it would set a bigger deterrence from lackeys ever going along with a little Hitler.

    People will think twice if they’re the ones paying and their Hitler boss didn’t pay. That in itself will prevent this from happening again.

That’s what happens after 8 trillion dollars gets pumped into the economy at once. The sugar high is too much for these folks and they’ll fight the fed tooth and nail until they can’t anymore.

    Long as you remain dumb enough to try and play, keep in mind that your boy, Douglas McGregor has referred to Black citizens living in America’s affluent urban centers as “an entitled permanent underclass” that he promises would become “violent as soon as the food stamps (which no longer even exist) and free heating (in Los Angeles?) run out”. Soon after Putin ordered the invasion Macgregor announced on Twitter that he was “rooting for Putin to win”. It was at about that time that military genius Macgregor predicted that Putin would be in Kyiv by that summer. At other times Macgregor has expressed his longing for “old aliances like NATO to vanish”. At other times Macgregor, who has been retired for more than two decades, has urged that the United States should actively militarize our southern border with our largest international trading partner and authorize our troops to fire artillery and missiles into the sovereign territory of Mexico.

    Very much like another likely hero of yours, Vivek Ramaswammy, Macgregor has called for the US to cutoff all aid to Israel in order to better mend relations with Russia, Syria, and the Gulf States. And he has stated that “the only reason the US supports Israel is because of pressure from wealthy Jews”.

    So if Trump is now going to use Rudy’s likeness to earn money for 757 gas and incontinence products he should at least be willing to pay Rudy for the privilege.

Flyers who have not paid for a carry-on bag in advance may be charged as much at $100 at the gate to have their bag on the flight, the suit claimed.” Spirit settled the lawsuit by agreeing to refund $8.25 million to customers.
