This is exactly what happens when a "President" tries to run a one-man show.

Trump tried the same thing and we know how that turned out for him.

Lesson: Don't dig through your memorabilia in the attic looking for something to wear to a Halloween party.

SNOOFY

The G.O.P. working on getting control the of state congress' and governors. That's what it's going to take to amend or rewrite a new constitution ~ most likely modeled after Russia's constitution.

Of course, Trump is still trying to prove he's still up to the job but the G.O.P. isn't lacking for other contenders. Ron DeSantis is doing the same thing. There's still the possibility of some rotten, low down, scurrilous dark horse making an entrance.

Now Russia is asking senior citizens to volunteer.

SPEAKS

"Putin started a war to take over ukraine, end its democracy and bring it into russian fascism."

Not to mention using Ukraine as a jumping off point to restore Russia to its former power and glory once held by the U.S.S.R. . . . . and, of course, cement his own legacy as the greatest leader in Russian history before (he kids the bucket.)

Looks like that's all down the drain now. No wonder he's so pissed off. When the chips are down . . . (really down) . . . some guys just can't do anything right.

Who does that remind you of?

Although it was Jared's family's real estate company who are the slumlords, I think it's safe to say Jared himself comes by his own scummy-ness honestly.

The same can be said about Trump's offspring.

The apples don't fall far from the tree.

BTW, if it's true that they ripped off tens of thousands tenants, that $3.25 million is the bare minimum they could pay to weasel out of trouble. Even at that, I think it's also safe to say they're not through weaseling.

I know where there's another big 6' picture of an autocratic S.O.B. that needs to be burned.

And the ante just went up. Judge Dearie just told Trump that he has to also pay Retired Magistrate Judge James Orenstein $500/hr as the external assistance Dearie required to help sort through the more than 11,000 documents seized at Mar-a-Lago.

"Bunker bitch ain't got no money."

Trump never pays for ANYTHING himself.

Fundraising letters by the thousands are rolling off the press as we speak.

"Inevitable."

That' what I've been saying. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

So don't vote for a Republican no matter, who, for what, when, where or why.

The G.O.P. poked a sleeping mama Grizzley with a stick.

Now they're running for their lives.

There's no telling what Trump promised her. He's not one to part with cash so I'm guessing he'd appeal to her ego . . . maybe something like he'd consider her for an appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court when he got re-elected.

That pretty heady stuff.

BTW, not excusing Cannon's ignorance but I recognized Trump's ego in Cannon's ruling. It sounded a lot like he had a hand in the drafting.

I hope she smartens up. (probably not) Because all she got for her work was a drubbing and likely a long gig as a judge in Traffic Court.

Since John Gibbs has an "R" after his name, what he thought in college is probably tame compared to the horrors he has in mind for women NOW.

My question for both then and now is why does Gibbs feel so threatened by women?

He sounds like a Mr. Milquetoast to me.

Brilliant move by Judge Dearie. I don't envy Trump's legal team the job of defending a half-crazed client who has no defense other than wild accusations that he's using in public to keep his base riled up.

Dearie's order, put up or shut up, (disguised as fairness to Trump) just slammed the door shut in Trump's face.

By now Trump will be demanding that his legal team find some other hill to die on. He expects them to fall on the sword for his sake. If they're smart, they'll refuse and force Trump to fire them.

Three words: Rosie the Riveter!

Reports are that Chris Kise quit the job he had with his old law firm and used that $3 Million as seed money to open his own practice, just to represent Trump in this Mar-a-Lago business.

I wonder if it's too late for Trump to ask for his money back.

Hillary Clinton???

There he goes with that name again. Trying to gin up that ol' tried and true.

Somebody should tell Trump that the chant has changed from Lock Her Up to . . . LOCK HIM UP!

NIXON

"Well that's the fault of the Federalist Society for pushing such an unqualified candidate."

And one so unqualified that she only passed her bar exam by a whisker.

I doubt if she was even clever enough to collect her "fee" from Trump up front.

TRUTHY

"AGs need to stfu until they indict."

I assume you mean when the federal indictments are officially announced by the SDNY and the IRS.

Trump's not worried. He's going to get a lot of fundraising out of this.

The G.O.P. doesn't want to destroy "the country." Just the part that keeps them from winning elections and pocketing America's great wealth. Every time they take two steps forward, some honest Democrat comes along and pulls the rug out from under their feet.

The G.O.P. just decided that Russia has a better system, so they hired the most corrupt man they could find to pull off the job. Sure, there have been a few speed bumps along the way ~ like the man they picked being a total narcissistic sociopath and a born looser ~ but hey, it was worth the effort just to get a foot in the door.

They still have a couple more years to finish the groundwork, state by state, and maybe stage a few more riots or maybe kill a public figure or two to hammer home the point but hey, hope springs eternal. What's a little collateral damage, when the rewards are so great.

My point? Vote accordingly. Too late can come sooner than you think.

BTW, don't think you're going to hold onto your guns. The last thing an autocracy wants is an armed population getting any ideas about a revolt.

TRUTHHURTS

I was thinking the same thing. Too much information. I heard a lot of bark but not much bite. I didn't like this at all.

Plus, was it really necessary for her to name every single staff member, one by one, by name, who was involved in their investigation.

I thought that was a really dangerous thing to do considering the death threats that Trump's cabal likes to throw around.

TENMILE

"Classified or not they are stolen property. "

Agreed! It appears that fact gets lost in the shuffle of court filings.

I really don't think Trump's lawyers expected any other outcome. They weren't even minimally prepared. I think they want it to go back to Judge Cannon for another one of her very inventive legal (cough, cough) rulings.

Trump wants to chase this case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. It's his last, best and only hope for exoneration.

The question is: Would they dare?

Special Master Dearie had a very simple requirement of both litigants.

He said: Show me the evidence.

The DOJ did.

Trump's team hemmed and hawed.
