Former President Donald Trump, fresh off his third appearance in court as a criminal defendant, delivered a speech full of defiance and bluster on Friday night, insulting prosecutors and declaring that the charges he faces only help his 2024 presidential campaign.
Lol. I hate this man so fucking much but the dude is a master troll.
God damn I just want him to die on the toilet pissing and shidding himself so badly. It’s really the only outcome that’d make sense
His supporters would fly into a rage and accuse Democrats of secretly murdering him just like Scalia. At least one of his supporters would probably commit a terrorist act in response.
I’d take that inevitable result over him living any longer.
His supporters are already making up baseless conspiracies about their enemies and committing random acts of violence.
Terrorism*
I’m a fan of the David Carradine.
Your reputation never recovers from that sort of death.
I heard after your fourth indictment, you get one hamberder for free.

He could be right, but it will come down to how the other Republican candidates handle it. If they get behind him and portray him as a martyr, there are certainly enough gullible ® voters to deliver the election. We’ll just need to see if the (D) turnout is strong enough to overcome that. On the other hand, if they unite against him, he’ll lose the nomination, run independently, and split the ® vote.
Option A is far more likely. We’ve seen over and over again that facts, legality, and consistency don’t matter, but appointing judges does. A disgraced scumbag that appoints who he’s told to appoint is infinitely more important than having “principles” without power.
Amazingly, people will still support him. A huge reason is that not supporting him would be admitting they were wrong.
After Nixon resigned, 30% of people still supported him.
After World War II, 30% of Germans still supported Hitler.
For some people, admitting they were wrong is fucking hard, and more people will pretend everything is good in order to not admit they were wrong. So even though it is clear he’s an insane grifter who crimes like a madman, admitting it means the libs were right and they were wrong.
Admitting being wrong is too much to do.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump, fresh off his third appearance in court as a criminal defendant, delivered a speech full of defiance and bluster on Friday night, insulting prosecutors and declaring that the charges he faces only help his 2024 presidential campaign.
But Trump was characteristically unapologetic as he took the stage Friday night to Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA,” flashing a thumbs-up at the crowd, raising his fist and taking in a standing ovation of nearly three minutes.
Trump has continued to receive endorsements from GOP elected officials throughout the investigations and criminal cases, including on Friday from all six of the state’s Republican U.S. House members.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, who is waging an unprecedented campaign to try to change Pentagon abortion policy by holding up hundreds of military nominations and promotions, introduced Trump at the dinner on Friday night.
Trump’s mounting legal troubles do not seem to be dampening his support in the Deep South state that is among more than a dozen that will hold primary contests on Super Tuesday.
In Alabama, though, one gauge of interest doesn’t bode well for the governor: The state GOP sold about 1,000 fewer tickets for a similar dinner in March when DeSantis spoke.
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
The crowd of 2,700 began arriving several hours early for the dinner, a $250-per-ticket fundraiser for the Alabama Republican Party.
…The state GOP sold about 1,000 fewer tickets for a similar dinner in March when DeSantis spoke.
Less people turned out to be grifted by Trump than by DeSantis. Even in Alabama they are tiring of Trump.
There was 1000 less sold to a dinner desantis spoke at. So trump had more attendees than desantis.
Which is surprising because they elected Tuberville. Who is holding up hundreds on military promotions because he doesn’t want women to have healthcare.
I feel like there should be a way to hold politicians like Tuberville in contempt. Not only is his cause complete bullshit, he is allowing domestic politics to get in the way of national security.
Of course, endangering national security seems to be a part of the republicans platform these days.
If he keeps going like that, Uncle Sam might soon throw in free room and board for him.
