It occurs to me now to wonder if “to peacefully stand with me today” is a dog whistle reminder that one could also stand with him violently

There’s too much to screenshot but he’s not a happy camper. He’s really attacking Smith with several posts.
You don’t need an account to view his feed. It’s pretty funny watching him unravel.

Be of good cheer MAGAnauts, for though it takes 12 peers to hang a man, it only takes one corrupt zealot to hang a jury. Expect the trial of a non-Mafia Don to unfold much in the manner of a trial of a Mafia Don. Additionally, the time is ripe for the first (like no one has ever seen before!) “blame it on AI” legal defense. Just look a those pictures. Notice there are no eyeballs? THAT"S BECAUSE IT’S AI. And that decor. Are you gonna tell me that luxury resort decor that ugly exists in real life?

For what it’s worth, when I heard Trusty comment that the Gilded Turd “would not be hiding in Scotland” I thought “that’s the kind of remark that could get a guy fired”…

A good breakdown from the Clara Jeffery, the editor of Mother Jones who read through it all and tweeted this (compiled), with screenshots from the federal indictment:
The actual legal doc (the indictment) filed:

THEY’RE NOT COMING AFTER ME, THEY’RE COMING AFTER YOU—I’M JUST STANDING IN THEIR WAY!This is pretty amazing in itself. Sure, just as soon as Trump is out of their way, I'm going to be charged with stealing classified documents. Except...I don't know, having no means, motive, opportunity, or possession, I think I might be all right?

And here we are. WHICH Witch Hunt? And here I am, being too concerned about sounding like a dim four-year-old to be able to ask “Is that real?”

I just finished reading the entire indictment. Holy shit. I don’t even know where to start, really. It’s bad. He had a lot of classified documents, and kept them in really super secure locations like a ballroom and a shower and then a storage room with multiple access points directly to the outside. Then, after subpoenas were issued and his lawyer made an appointment to go through all the boxes to identify all documents subject to the subpoena, Trump had his body man move 64 boxes to his private residence so he could go through them first, and then returned only 30 for his lawyer to go through. On top of that, Mar-a-lago employees who clearly didn’t have security clearance were moving boxes around from time to time to just get them out of their way. And Trump’s genius of a body man communicated with these people BY TEXT MESSAGE. And then lied to the FBI and said he didn’t know anything about boxes being moved. Trump’s body man is either a moron, or just so blindly loyal to Trump that he doesn’t care. The whole thing is just wild. If half of the facts in the indictment are true (and I’m sure all of them are true), Trump is fucked.

Thank you, sincerely, for reading through the whole indictment.
I tried.
I guess I’m in a frame of mind to finish, right now.
It’ll be a damn miracle if any country will ever share intel with the U.S. gummint ever again. MTG ain’t helping either, with all her blather about her stunts in the SCIF.
I can’t even imagine what kinds of damage control has already been implemented in the intelligence and military worlds to minimize the unparalled fuckery (apart from, say, nuclear annihilation or martial law, etc.) that has come to so thoroughly characterize TFG and his many as-yet-unindicted co-conspirators and enablers.
Meantime, the ripples of damage to the security of our land, our military service-members, our assets inside and outside our borders, will spread far and wide.
So. Unquantifiably. Utterly. Compromised.
Rippling out over time and over events, the damage will be beyond any snarky commentariat or jaded hipster: nothing will be funny or convenient. Things will complexify. The cynicism that “everything’s broken” and “what’s the point of even having a government–any government at all” gain more potential to undermine whatever still remains worth having in the States. Our work as citizens and humans here is and will be just beginning.
Stay human, y’all.
'The Hill We Climb’
When day comes we ask ourselves,
‘where can we find light in this never-ending shade,’
the loss we carry,
a sea we must wade?
We’ve braved the belly of the beast.
We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace,
and the norms and notions
of what just is
isn’t always just-ice.
And yet the dawn is ours
before we knew it,
somehow we do it.
Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed
a nation that isn’t broken
but simply unfinished.
We, the successors of a country and a time
where a skinny Black girl
descended from slaves and raised by a single mother
can dream of becoming president
only to find herself reciting for one.
And yes, we are far from polished,
far from pristine,
but that doesn’t mean we are
striving to form a union that is perfect.
We are striving to forge a union with purpose,
to compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters, and
conditions of man.
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us
but what stands before us.
We close the divide because we know, to put our future first,
we must first put our differences aside.
We lay down our arms
so we can reach out our arms
to one another.
We seek harm to none and harmony for all.
Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew;
that even as we hurt, we hoped;
that even as we tired, we tried;
that we’ll forever be tied together, victorious,
not because we will never again know defeat
but because we will never again sow division.
Scripture tells us to envision
that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
and no one shall make them afraid.
If we’re to live up to our own time
then victory won’t lie in the blade
but in all the bridges we’ve made.
That is the promise to glade,
the hill we climb
if only we dare it,
because being American is more than a pride we inherit —
it’s the past we step into
and how we repair it.
We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation
rather than share it
would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy.
And this effort very nearly succeeded.
But while democracy can be periodically delayed,
it can never be permanently defeated.
In this truth,
in this faith we trust,
for while we have our eyes on the future,
history has its eyes on us.
This is the era of just redemption
we feared at its inception.
We did not feel prepared to be the heirs
of such a terrifying hour
but within it we found the power
to author a new chapter,
to offer hope and laughter to ourselves.
So while once we asked,
‘how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe,’
now we assert,
‘how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?’
We will not march back to what was
but move to what shall be:
a country that is bruised but whole,
benevolent but bold,
fierce, and free.
We will not be turned around
or interrupted by intimidation
because we know our inaction and inertia
will be the inheritance of the next generation.
Our blunders become their burdens.
But one thing is certain:
If we merge mercy with might,
and might with right,
then love becomes our legacy
and change our children’s birthright.
So let us leave behind a country
better than the one we were left with.
Every breath from my bronze-pounded chest,
we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one.
We will rise from the gold-limned hills of the west,
we will rise from the windswept northeast
where our forefathers first realized revolution,
we will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the midwestern states,
we will rise from the sunbaked south.
We will rebuild, reconcile, and recover
in every known nook of our nation and
every corner called our country,
our people diverse and beautiful will emerge,
battered and beautiful.
When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid.
The new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it,
if only we’re brave enough to be it.

A body man is political jargon to indicate a civilian personal aide that’s available 24/7; basically akin to a valet.
If you’ve ever seen The West Wing, Dulé Hill’s character Charlie Young was the president’s body man.

top notch! Thanx.
he’s been trying to encourage his supporters to believe he’s the only thing standing in the way of america and utter chaos 
so that’s not about the papers. it’s more of a - get out your guns, the left is going to stick you in a fema camp - sort of thing
( he doesn’t understand he’s only a symptom of the greater rot. he actually thinks he’s a leader of some sort. ha! )
