TWGB: F'ing Around During Finding Out Season

 

So, it looks like the brilliant press conference displaying the report that was supposed to present "irrefutable proof" of his Georgia win and all-around innocence has been cancelled because his lawyers told him it was a very, very bad idea. This disappoints me so much because I was hoping to bend the report over and give it a right Bishop Berkely refutation (by means of employing one's foot to the meat of the argument). It is apparently not to be. Who knew that reiterating one's fraudulent claims could pose such a hassle?

It is possible something has changed in the atmosphere of TrumpWorld. Even Trump's Truth Social posts are creating a problem for him: is he witness-tampering? Is he giving the message to others to do witness tampering--or even jury-tampering? Because jury-tampering appears to be part of what is going down. Threats against jurors and court officials are now being investigated in the wake of the most-recent indictment. 

And these sad, violent souls think they are "helping".  They also like to apply Trump's new term "rigger" in the way he meant it--a word with two hard "r's". What he always meant by the vote-rigging in 2020  2016 and since isn't lost on me, or anyone with a good sense of who he is. And his race-based theories as well as his voter-fraud theories were and are...baseless. 


Take the case of Abigail Jo Shry of Texas: she thought it was a good idea to call upon Judge Chutkan and call her a "slave" and threaten her if Trump didn't win in 2024. Because she drinks and watches too much Fox News and is generally powerless. And because she is racist and stupid and Trump empowers her by giving her life meaning. (From what I can glean, her life isn't happy.)

Some of his people are powerless and probably more of a threat to themselves--but others most definitely are not. Take the Proud Boys, who stopped standing back and standing by on 1/6. Some of them are now looking at 20-33 years. It is truly finding out season. But some people still insist on fucking around. 

Now, Trump himself wants to delay finding out. His lawyers just recently asked if his 1/6 hearing could be delayed until after 2024: to 2026.  (But why? It's not like he hasn't had a good preview of what's up. Per the 1/6 Committee docs which are available for all of us.) 

Huh:


Trump would be happy if all his trials were delayed until after the election. He's running to avoid accountability. He's screaming "rigged" and "unfair" and "election interference" because of course he is: it doesn't make him seem innocent, because he isn't confident that he could go in and clear his name. 

Anywhere. And I love the projection of crying about election interference when what would you call his 2020 activity? Because normal campaigning, which usually stops after the votes are counted, it was not.  

And who even knows what was lurking in his DM's--since we know the fake electors plan and crying "rigged" were always on the menu.  And could a fifth indictment be lurking in Arizona? (What about Michigan? Pennsylvania, anyone?) 

Anyway, Happy Finding Out Season to all who celebrate.
