    Guess Lauro has been out quite a bit for the Loon. None of his arguments have convinced me that he isn't just goosing up the people who are FOR the Loon. I think perhaps in part because it is a bit safer than if the Loon is let out to defend himself.

    I do think it will get hard for him and he may or may not have already messed up. I've not watched the news this afternoon but did see a chyron a couple of times that something to the effect that on his Truth Social the Loon put out something that said:

    " If you come after me, I'll be coming after you". That sort of has something of a threatening sound to it although it sounds rather general in nature. Not sure that it will get a reprimand due to that, but I'm sure plenty of people have their eyes on most of what he and his people are doing.

    I do not find it a surprise that the Loon may have had to have the last word after court. Even though he was much more used to now being the perp in the courtroom, He does not like to be given orders and usually doesn't listen when it happens. Now the choice to do so or not is much different since there will be consequences — but having to let that judge exercise control and have the last word likely gave him apoplexy. We'll all be watching.

    He has already proven that he can incite riots just over an election loss. I feel and fear that this latest threat is not an empty one because his base will rise up for him. It is time that he is subjected to the same rules and laws that govern us if we had committed these crimes and threatened a government official. Enough already. he needs to be muzzled and in jail.

    Any self respecting lawyer who choses to represent him should be disbarred and/or never again employed. Yes, everyone is innocent until proven guilty seems to apply only to those with considerable wealth since the common man is not permitted to speak lies, tarnish the reputations of others, etc. with impunity like he is and has been.

    An all-time favorite:

    Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.

    Well, woke this morning to the fact that Jack Smith already made sure the judge would hear that the Loon is already at it. He is asking for a protective order over what the Loon just said — the coming after YOU statement.

    It is something that is set up to be handled for the most part incrementally based on how long it may take for the Loon and his lawyers to get their act together and choose to handle this in the legal and respectful manner that good lawyers and citizens would. The Loon (being law unto himself) is playing his old and same political moves which don't correspond. to matters of court and perhaps even more so — federal court. Lauro may be the better right now of the Loon's lawyers, but he too is being forced to work on a political basis and it is a black mark that will not erase easily, if at all. He is playing the Loon's game and that has been shown to be a highly losing game so far. Won't do the Reps. party any good at all either.

    We Are Watching The End Of Donald Trump

    No matter how the criminal cases turn out, or the result of the 2024 election, the Donald Trump show has entered its final act.

    When The Music’s Over, Turn Out The Lights

    There have been a large number of think pieces usually in legacy and conservative-leaning mainstream outlets about how DONALD TRUMP COULD WIN!!!

    It is not a coincidence that the same media that depends on the thrice indicted former president for relevance and profit are twisting themselves into knots with blaring headlines trying to give legitimacy to a candidate who is facing nearly 80 felony charges.

    The concept is absurd. and if the American media wasn’t dominated by large corporations who are only interested in making money, instead of trying to justify Trump’s Stay Out Of Jail Tour 2024, they would be joining the majority of the nation in rejecting the idea that a person accused of so many crimes belongs back in the Oval Office.

    Alas, that is not where we are as a nation. Years of Trump's criminality have desensitized many to what should be shocking and appalling. Crimes come with Trump and far too many people with power treat this as normal, or even worse, justify it.

    What isn’t talked about, what no one wants to acknowledge is that this is Donald Trump’s final act...

    Always a bit amazing that they can do nearly anything, and it is just fine but we are lined up in front of the firing squad in the blink of an eye almost for taking the same privilege with way more REASON to.

    The White House has announced they are putting Biden’s name on hundreds of thousands of infrastructure project signs after Republicans started taking credit for projects they voted against.

    #BREAKING — NBC News: Team Trump denied more time to respond to special counsel's protective order motion.

    Obviously already working on how to stall in any way possible. I don't know but I'd say that were it me, I'd not want to make this Judge KEEP having to handle stupid and inane arguments clearly brought forward to try and stall or possibly divert the proceedings in some way. The Loon is already having Lauro engage in baseless and worthless arguments that may sound good to the Loon's 30 percenters, but people with brain cells know for whose benefit. Also, that last word thingy. The Loon keeps pounding away — and likely will do up on up and through all his guilty verdicts.

    A little late, but better late than never.

    BREAKING: More info has come out since it was revealed that Judge Moxila Upadhyaya referred to Donald Trump as “Mr. Trump” and not “President Trump.”Apparently, Donald Trump was "particularly" bothered by this fact. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins said that she was told Trump didn’t like being called “Mr. Trump,” noting that it “irked him particularly.”Look Donald. Judge Moxila Upadhyaya has made it clear you won’t be getting any special treatment just because of your position. It doesn’t matter if you’re a former president. In this country, no one is above the law……and that includes you, Mr. Trump. Maybe next time, Judge Moxila Upadhyaya will refer to you as what you are:A criminal defendant.

    He does it because he just can't help himself. That part of him which proves to himself that he is the superior one. That it is (IN THIS CASE) exactly what he should not do, doesn't make any sense to him. His lawyers should really be in a state. Guess they will keep trying to make it some 1st. Amendment thing while knowing it is appeasement for him.

    This man is a total wreck. Acting as though he were an actual president and having sooo many people able to keep him propped up (if barely sometimes) is what it took to keep him on some sort of keel. He is totally un-moored now and though they are trying to hold him up the Reps. party is sinking so fa fight along with him and his foolish lawyers.
