There's a passage in Ernest Hemingway's novel The Sun Also Rises in which a character named Mike is asked how he went bankrupt. “Two ways,” he answers. “Gradually, then suddenly.” We are seeing the truth of that with Trump. Last night, in response to being indicted in New York, Trump made an angry speech, painting a a dark vision of the country and spewing a litany of conspiracy theories, some old and familiar and some new and really strange. Cheered on by MAGA celebrities, he went after President Biden, then criticized - at length and with specifics - the various prosecutors investigating him.
Hes right about ONE thing! This IS the most embarrassing moment in a while - thats saying something! The idea that this orange idiot was our president? That was pretty embarrassing, too. The idea that Senators and Congressmen (and women) are afraid of this idiot? There is where the embarrassment should land - on their shoulders.
Thanks for the summary of the deranged rants of a failed public figure. It is all going to get worse. So discouraging even unnerving to see all of the GOP lackeys lining up to show fealty to the king whose clothes are vanishing. Be so glad when this is over. It is time to sing a chorus or two of We Shall Overcome..... because the tide is turning. Wisconsin!! Chicago!!!
There are no clothes to vanish. The Emperor has no clothes and never did. And all of the empty suits continue to rally around him and his vile mouth. It is truly embarrassing.
Trump will not shut up. Perhaps the judge will put a gag order in place. Which would be great because we are all gagging at the nonsense he is spouting.
Because it can't shut up, it will defy the gag order and get himself busted. Or fined bigly.
A week in Rikers Island might do it..... Trump has finally realized, after a lifetime of beating the raps, that Ray Bradbury was right - Something Wicked This way Comes.....
No...the most embarrassing moments for this country occurred when the Don was in the White House...remember when he shoved the PM of Montenegro ? Remember all those episodes of word salad, Covfefe? How about the abject humiliation of a U.S. leader seeking to abandon NATO? Aside from toilet paper stuck to his shoe on the tarmac, Don -the-Putz tRump is a disgrace of a human being, let alone an elected official.
Please don't link his name to the derriere, which is part of the suite of evolutionary adaptations that gave us the ability to run, which is a major part of how our hunter-gatherer ancestors fed themselves--by chasing prey animals--and which somewhere along the evolutionary way became a secondary sex characteristic, and to some of us, a very attractive one.
Ba-ha-ha-ha🤣😂🤣 Frankly, tRump has the mouth of a lamprey and the cranium of a frog-faced bird, which is to say, Not Much room upstairs for grey matter.
He is incredibly ugly, both outside and inside. I happen to think frogs are quite cute*, and birds are good looking in a lot of different ways, and it bugs me when people use his name to associate him with the derriere in an effort to insult him. The derriere can be very beautiful, as many long ago sculptures have shown, and also very sexy. 45 is neither.
*I have a children's book, called Tuesday, which I bought almost 30 years ago, because it has these wonderful very realistic yet humorous pictures of frogs flying as night falls.
His addle-brained demon spawn, junior, posted a photo of Judge Marchan's daughter on line. Can we get him indicted lickety split for trying to intimidate the judge and endangering his family? Send his loser butt to Rikers. Piece of crap.
Respect, TC. I cannot listen to him for and hour. Physically cannot. Joyce Vance says NY is loathe to issue a gag order, 1st Amendment rights and oppression, as you noted. However, they would incarcerate. Maybe only for a day or two, in hopes it would impress upon the defendant their compliance is a requirement (it wouldn’t, in this case) but ... since it wouldn’t, longer periods of time could happen until one day( especially if violence became manifest) bail is revoked.
He's heading to Rikers it's just a matter of time, he'll be able to scream all he wants in his cell, that is until all of the inmates around him get fed up with hearing it, like all of us, and make it very clear to him just how they feel about it. A bar of soap in a sock up the side of his head will start to get his attention, it worked in the Army, but then again even our most moronic soldiers were Noble Prize winners in comparison to that scumbag, it'll probably take a box of bars.
If only someone had an answer to this question it would be the most magnificent day in most recent history! Because as we know even if the court orders him to keep his trap shut he won't, he just can't! The narcissistic idiot just loves hearing himself talk.
If one of Trump's MAGA followers so much as touches a hair on the head of anyone Trump has threatened so far, I hope the judge has him remanded to Rikers until the trial - we'll see what 7-8 months in that hell hole will do to make Trump shut up.....
Can the judge issue the gag order on his own, or do the prosecutors have to make a request? BTW, appreciate your listening and reporting. I’m actually a bit surprised that Trump went off on the judge. Thanks, too, for reminding me of the Hemingway lines, which I hope apply to the Orange Monster. ❤️🤍💙
My maternal grandmother used to use that phrase (without the bull) ... until one of her sons informed her of what short hairs were in question. She was thinking nape of the neck.

Yes, Judge, PLEASE. Or just throw him in Rikers if he can’t control himself.
No if about it…

Yes, let's also remember that Chicago might just be the most important win for showing the Democrats who has power and who doesn't.

Or both.

And it would be delicious if some of the Central Park Five showed up on visiting day to tell him where the best spots "in the yard" are.
Love this…

Embarrassed me every nanosecond…
Dawna …great synopsis.. I remember
Each event !! Ty Marsha
Ole bone spurs, rock throwing, Trumpkin orange bumpkin rolling down his MAGA hill of shite. Class A embarrassment to our
country and the former office of
the presidency. He has yet to see the full force of what no one
is above the law and justice mean for his raggedy butt.

I really like the thought of IT going to Rikers and then having bail revoked.
Inciting violence should be a no-no for ALL, word-salad or not…

Rikers … would be great for as long as possible…Marsha

How about stuffing a few hamberders in his mouth?

He'll STFU when he departs this mortal coil. Unfortunately he's a poison that spreads through the human mind.
“Obey”. A word incomprehensible in TrumpMind
I’m curious if the judge will take the Bull by the short hairs
