Jimmy Kimmel Monologue

Donald Janice Trump [Jane is from "Friends" TV show] made his first outing after his guilty verdict. Trump spent most of the weekend at his Golf Club in New Jersey then went to UFC fight before finally heading back home to Florida. It's good to see him out crossing state lines while he still can. Trump stayed at the fight until 1:58 a.m. You know what, if I'd just been found guilty of covering up a hush money payment to a porn star I wouldn't be in a rush to get home to my wife either. I really can't blame him so in between tee offs and and choke holds, Trump sat for a chat with the gang at Fox and friends who provided six very warm friendly shoulders for him to cry on.

Trump: "I have a wonderful wife who has to listen to this stuff all the time. They do that for this reason. They do that all these salacious names that they put in. They put this stuff in to create havoc. These are bad people. I know everything they do and I know every move they make. I get it. It's tougher I think it's probably in many ways it's tougher in my family than is in me."

Fox talking head: "How's Melania doing? "

Trump: "She's doing fine, but I think it's very hard for her I mean she's fine but it's you know she has to to read all this crap"

Yeah, yeah. I'm pretty sure the only thing she reads is her prenup over and over again. I do find it very rich that he's mad at other people: "how dare you explain what I did to my wife, to my wife?"

Trump also weighed in on which classified files he would declassify were he to become president again. They all forget the fact that he had four years to do this the first time around and forget the fact that he brought half the files back to his house. What I found interesting he's very quick to answer the first two questions but number three not quite as fast.

Fox talking head: "If you were president would you declassify declassify the 9/11 [New York terrorist] files? "

Trump instantly: "yeah."

Fox talking head: "Would you declassify JFK [assasination] files? "

Trump quickly: "yeah. I did a lot of it"

Fox talking head: "Would you declassify the [sex offender Jeffery] Epstein files"

Trump pauses and hestitate: "Yeah, yeah. "

I mean, not all of them. I mean not if I am mentioned then no I won't."

The interview with the Fox and Friends Weekend's "B" team was heavily edited. There were a lot of abrupt sloppy cuts but they still managed to capture the essence of the former president and his very upbeat outlook when it comes to climate change.

Trump instantly: "When they say that the seas will rise over the next 400 years 1/8 of an inch, ow which means basically you have a little more beach front property. "

Okay, yeah no. that's totally wrong. That's it means means you have less beachfront property. Like think about when you're in the tub and with your gelatinous belly bobbing up out of the water and then the water starts getting cold and you scream at your butler "get add some more hot!" Then he brings more hot water in does your belly Island get bigger or does it get smaller. Smaller is the answer. You will have less beachfront property. I've never seen anyone who pretends to know more actually no less about every subject than this manatee.

He is also now planting seeds for another January 6th by encouraging his army of dummies to rise up and fight, the police I guess, in the event the judge decides to lock him up.

Trump: "I don't know that the public would stand it, you know. I don't. I'm not sure the public would stand for it. "

Fox talking head: "with a uh house arrest? "

Trump: "I think I think it would be tough for the public to take. You know at a certain point there's a breaking point"

That's just great well I have a bunch of idiots in Viking helmet swimming to [New York prison] Riker's Island together.

Listen, Trump's hardcore fans maybe be a lot of things. Bright is not one of them.

New reporter: "An RV covered in Donald Trump campaign posters was total when it crashed into a utility poll on [New York's] Staten Island on Sunday afternoon"

How many times do I have to tell you: "No posters on the windshield."

All the many swings Trump took at the barrage of softballs tossed gently in the Fox News batting cage this was probably the biggest whiff of all.

Fox talking head: "you famously said regarding Hillary Clinton "lock her up". You declined to do that as president." [ignoring the fact that Judges sentence people, not Presidents]

Trump: " I beat her. It's easier when you win. They all said lock ... I felt and ... I could have done it. But I felt it would have been a terrible thing. And then this happened to me and so I may feel differently about it. I can't tell you I can. I'm not sure I can answer the question. Hillary Clinton: I didn't say "lock her up" But the people would all say "lock her up, lock her up"

okay? Really. Really. So interesting, because I remember you doing you most certainly doing that

Trump: "Hillary Clinton oh she's crooked folks she's crooked is a $3 bill. another clip You should lock her up I'll tell you lock her up is right. another clip But what she's done they should lock her up. another clip and her lawyers should go to jail with her. another clip She has to go to jail. another clip Lock up the Obamas. lock up Hillary another clip She shouldn't even be allowed to run for the office of President. another clip Hillary Clinton has to go to jail, okay? She has to go to jail.

Cut to Clinton / Trump presidential debate.

Hillary Clinton: "It's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country

Trump: "yeah because you'd be in jail

Never said it and not one of the Three Stooges interviewing him pushed back on that, at all.

it goes with the quality and quantity of their neurons.

 

 

Speaking of neurons, I wonder how Marjorie Taylor-Green is doing with hers. It must get lonely all by itself in such an empty head. I bet a Jewish laser would do wonders for her state of mindlessness, and maybe even teach her a thing or two about basic civility.

I saw somewhere online over the weekend (can't find the quote now) something along the lines of how you don't see the Democrats lining up calling Hunter Biden's court case a "witch hunt", "rigged" and a "kangaroo court". Maybe because they believe that no one is above the law in the US.

 

Unlike "the party of law and order" who can't line up fast enough to defend the (felonious) orange buffoon, their Dear Leader 🙄

It might be easier to list the places where Trump's dirty lawyer Kenneth Chesebro is free and clear.

The Guardian: Wisconsin attorney general charges three former Trump associates in plot to overturn 2020 election

Wisconsin’s attorney general filed felony charges against three men who played a key role in the effort to appoint fake electors in the state as part of Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the election.

Kenneth Chesebro, Jim Troupis and Michael Roman were each charged with one felony count of forgery, according to court documents. The crime is a class H felony punishable up to six years in prison.

Chesebro was the architect of the fake elector plan. Five days after the election, he emailed Troupis, a retired judge who was leading the Trump campaign’s legal efforts in Wisconsin, to muse about the possibility of throwing out Joe Biden’s win in Wisconsin and appointing a Trump slate of electors. The two developed the scheme over the next few months. Chesebro would later work with Roman to coordinate the efforts across states and to get the slates of fake electors to Washington.

Chesebro pleaded guilty to conspiracy to filing false documents for his role in the scheme in a separate case in Georgia earlier this year. Roman faces charges in Georgia and is also a defendant in an Arizona case.

This is the first time Troupis, who sits on a judicial ethics panel in Wisconsin, has been charged.

The Wisconsin complaint lays out how Chesebro, Troupis and Roman – a Trump campaign aide – coordinated to draft false electoral certificates to be signed by swing state Republicans for Trump and the former vice-president, Mike Pence.

Primaries are still going, but Trump's candidates/endorsements aren't necessarily the drawcard that he thinks they are:

Also, sort of covered on the last page, but Judge Cannon's courthouse has stopped taking complaints about her:

And - a circular(?) argument:

As much as I'd like to blame 1980's yuppies, young urban professionals, on Trump, that would be like blaming on-line shipping for serial killer David Berkowitz.

I'd blame an obscure Supreme Court ruling in 1880.

You'll remember the US had a civil war, and that the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, aimed to grant full citizenship rights to former slaves.

By some magic, the 1880 Supreme Court ruled 14th Amendment applied to corporations, expanding the definition of corporations as human beings. That's quite the jump from slaves to corporations.

The final kick-to-the-groin was another US Supreme Court ruling "The Citizens United v. FEC ruling" in 2010

It equated money with free speech in the context of campaign finance laws.

It been said that 90% of laws are related to corporations, corporate interests, and ownership. So when Republicans talk about "law and order" they mean protecting the haves from the have-nots.

When I first read this, I thought it was about Florida Trump cheerleader Judge Cannon.

Well one of of three ain't bad.

I'd wager more Americans can understand illegally hiding hush-money for an unseemly extramarital affair than democracy perversion, and brazen misuse of classified documents.

So take victories where you can.

An unorthodox move by Judge Cannon to help Trump again.

It's clear that Florida Judge hates intensely Jack Smith, the special counsel, and is prejudiced for Trump.

New York Times: Judge Reshuffles Hearings in Trump Documents Case
...
Judge Cannon kept in place a hearing she had set for June 21 to discuss a motion by Mr. Trump’s lawyers to dismiss the indictment on the grounds that Jack Smith, the special counsel named to oversee the prosecutions of Mr. Trump, was illegally appointed to his job.

Sigh. Trump must really have her in his pocket. I hope she never makes it to the Supreme Court.

 

And speaking of Trump - a "blast from the past" as to his poor handling of the coronavirus when it arrived in America back in 2020.

And there must for very good reasons be a high bar before you can get a judge thrown off a case if not out of the job altogether, but surely by now Smith must have enough of a pattern of bad behaviour that he can go over her head to her bosses and show it's not just a couple of bad calls but wilful obstruction?
