quickymart: Harrison Floyd cries racism as Fani Willis moves to revoke his bond

"A publicist who previously represented controversial musicians R. Kelly and Ye has been indicted alongside former President Donald Trump and several of his allies for their alleged actions following the 2020 election."

They do know Fanni Willis is African-American and almost every defendant is white, rich and powerful?

Saying R. Kelly and Kanye West, "Ye", are controversial is like saying the 1846 snowbound Donner Party cannibals were a bit peckish.

I don't know where to start with Kanye West, except for maybe his "White Lives matter" tshirts.

In 2022, Kelly was convicted of three child pornography charges and three charges of enticing a minor. He was sentenced to serve 31 years imprisonment in a combination of concurrent and consecutive sentences.

R. Kelly’s sisters claim his sentencing was racist. The African-American victims also said there was racism but from the opposite direction: the victims faced harsh skepticism of abuse.

DeSantis and Haley have have the best platform in the primaries to blast away at Trump day after day week after week. Fox News has more or less indicated it will help them out with exactly that.

Christie looks like he's not being paid enough to be a determined spoiler.

Instead the candidates have no winning strategy and are just hoping Trump goes to jail or has one too many cheeseburgers while in office.

At his rally in Iowa, Trump shocked his conservative mid-West cult members by talking, without prompting of course, about alleged Russian KGB sex workers urinating on him. See Vanity Fair.

As is his habit, Trump talked in the third person about himself.

"'He was with four hookers,' You think that was good that night they go up and tell my wife, 'It's not true, darling. I love you very much. It's not true.'

Actually, that one she didn't believe because she said, 'He's a germaphobe, he's not into that,'

'He's not into golden showers,' as they say they called it. I don't like that idea. No, I didn't. I thought that would be a big problem, I was going to have a rough night, but that one she was very good on."

This video was just released, though it's about Trump's testimony 2 weeks ago.

.You might remember Trump pulled a document out of his sweaty jacket, and insisted if he could read it, it would clear him of all fraud. The judge said no; Trump insisted; the judge said shut up.

Though the public didn't know it at the time, The document was a disclaimer put into Trump's financial statements. It's contents had already been submitted.

Contrary to Trump's fevered dreams, you can't submit a legally binding financial document, and add "this may be a complete fantasy" escape clause.

Darn, like Trump, I attached a note to my tax form with "Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention: This form does not reflect reality, but just something I wrote for your entrainment. If you believe it's real, well that's on you, sucker." I was really hoping that would keep me out of jail. Live and learn.

Trump Took The Stand; It Did Not Go Well

Raw Story - Trump doctor reveals health report: 'Cognitive exams were exceptional' 

 

20 Nov 2023

 


Donald Trump has released a one-page document from the physician he's used since leaving office - in which a glowing review of the former president's health and wellness is given.

 

The latest doctor's report says, "His physical exams were well within the normal range and his cognitive exams were exceptional." 

 

"In addition, his most recent extensive laboratory analysis remains well within normal limits and was even more favorable than prior testing in some of the most significant parameters, most likely secondary to weight reduction."

 

 

Weight reduction?  🙄

 

"Person, woman, man, camera, TV."

 

EDIT:  I have just noticed that Trumps's doctor is an osteopath, not a conventionally trained physician.

Washington Post: Many former Trump aides say he shouldn’t be president. Will it matter?

John F. Kelly, the longest-serving chief of staff in President Donald Trump’s White House, watches Trump dominate the GOP primary with increasing despair.

“What’s going on in the country that a single person thinks this guy would still be a good president when he’s said the things he’s said and done the things he’s done?” Kelly said in a recent interview. “It’s beyond my comprehension he has the support he has.”

Kelly, a retired four-star general, said he didn’t know what to do — or what he could do — to help people see it his way.

“I came out and told people the awful things he said about wounded soldiers, and it didn’t have half a day’s bounce. You had his attorney general Bill Barr come out, and not a half a day’s bounce. If anything, his numbers go up. It might even move the needle in the wrong direction. I think we’re in a dangerous zone in our country,” he said.
...
Interviews with 16 former Trump advisers — some of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss their former boss — show they are grappling with how they can puncture Trump’s candidacy in 2024, whether they can or should coordinate with one another and whether their voices will even matter.
...
Former White House counsel Ty Cobb, who defended Trump during the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and once was seen as a loyal soldier, said it was imperative for people to vote against Trump.

“He has never cared about America, its citizens, its future or anything but himself.

One comment I saw made about Trump was his agenda was "all grievances, all the time". Depressingly, to some people this bs is inspiring and makes them want to fall over themselves to vote for him. I struggle to understand why - does that sort of thing really make their lives better, and if so, how?

It's likely because these people are trying to find someone else to blame for their faults and difficulties in life.

I think you're right - Trump has a long history of playing the victim and then playing the blame game. It's always everyone else's fault but his 🙄

 

Speaking of which: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/22/nikki-haley-never-trump-voters-00128398 >> this is good news indeed, but can she consolidate enough? I recall something similar in 2016, Republican candidates caught up in fighting against each other, which allowed Trump to basically clear the field and take the lead.
