Fair to say it's been a bad day or so for the Lardo lovers.
The saga continues.....

Trump's entire con is coming unravelled and his narcissism still causes him to want to appear on Fox News and use his self perceived brilliance to talk himself out of trouble. When any Lawyer would tell him to stop talking.
Of course, Trump regurgitated his greatest hits of Russia, Russia, Russia, they hate trump, HIllaries emails, radical left.
But last night he publicly confirmed that the FBI asked him for more security. "padlock". He also accidentally disclosed that classified documents would be sent to Mar A Lardo "Or wherever".
Hmmm. Not sure sending highly classifed documents to "wherever" by Presidents is a thing. But Trump publicly said it was. Standard practice. Ooops.

Stay tuned boys and girls. We are going to find out that these highly classified documents have not been sitting idle in Mar A Lardo for 1.5 years. Trump is not a patient man. If he has something to grift off of he does it. The reason he wants them back so desperately and never gave them up when asked repeatedly is because they are the maps that lead investigators to who Trump conducted espionage and treason with.

After watching Trump on Hannity, it really is a mystery why his supporters are not offended by the way that Trump repeatedly displays how stupid he thinks they are.

Unfortunately, by continuing to support the man it's proof they are in fact that stupid. So Trump isn't wrong about them.

Sadly, the GOP has continued to show support for Trump. Their refusal to back away from him and his deranged base only empowers him further. And he has shown no signs of going away. WHEN he is convicted in this particular case he will turn his sheep loose on America. He has been setting the table for 2 years. Trumpies will lose their minds and all they will need is the go-ahead from their god, which he will likely give when he knows his time as a free man is over. Imagine worshipping one man over our country?! Not a single one of them is a patriot.

And certainly the man they worship is no patriot either. The damage he has caused to this country and our democracy is immense.

But seriously. If you are a follower and you watch his word salad of excuses and BS how can you not realize that he is telling you that he thinks you are a total imbecile for believing him. How can you not be insulted that your guy thinks you are utterly stupid and gullable.

He is being prosecuted for fraud. That means he will have failed to pay the taxes he should have paid. The tax man will get him. That means prison.

I guess Trump was blackmailed into being a Russian agent via a pee tape and one of his duties was to bring nuclear secrets to his home and leave them lying around for 18 months.
Sadly people still buy this type of BS

Well, not in the current NY case. That's a civil, not criminal, action.

But to clarify: Yes, agreed, it's possible that a tax case will build on this civil case and move to criminal charges.
FYI, the proposed penalties ("prayer for relief") in the NYS case are listed on the second- and third-to-last pages of the complaint:

The civil action will provide Inland Revenue with the evidence to go after him. If he has defrauded the State by cheating them on asset values, as is claimed, that means his tax liabilities would have been misrepresented. That's prison - as we have just seen with Boris Becker and before him, Wesley Snipes. The Orange Man will get to wear an orange suit.

It's called Internal Revenue Service over here.

The most recent defense is, "You can declassify just by saying 'it's declassified,' even by thinking about it."
Powers of the mind.

The appeals court ruling is more problematic for Trump beyond this individual issue. The judges started to take head on the claims that 1) any of the documents were declassified, and 2) even if they were, that it matters for the issues at stake (it doesn't). That doesn't bode well for the future from Trump's angle.

Good lord the orange man completely owns you guys. I think it’s literally impossible for a day to go by where trump doesn’t take up at least 90% if your thoughts. The only threat to democracy is your inability to get over the witch hunt (and the fact putin threatened nuclear warfare under Biden’s watch)

No he owns you lot MUCH more.
You buy his merchandise, you send money to his cohorts to build a wall and they keep it, you send him money to challenge to election results and he pockets it.
It is you who he owns. Not the people pointing out the stupidity and irony of it.

Old news, but worth revisiting. Trump spoke with Putin July 31 2019, then 4 days later Trump requested a list of top US intelligence assets. Then US intel assets started dying.
