kingdragonfly: Washington Post: Airing 2020 election grievances, Trump appears in first TV ad for Georgia gubernatorial hopeful David Perdue

Donald Trump speaks directly to the camera in the first television ad aired by Georgia gubernatorial candidate David Perdue, underscoring how much that race centers on the former president and his grievances about the 2020 election.

The 30-second spot, which debuted Tuesday, opens with “a message from President Trump” in which Trump criticizes severely the state’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, for not intervening to overturn Joe Biden’s presidential election victory in Georgia.
...
Trump later offers his endorsement of Perdue ... who was defeated by a Democrat... Some Republicans blamed Perdue’s loss ... on Trump’s fixation on his 2020 election defeat.

 

I hope Trump never, ever lets it go. That way, he's absolutely guaranteed to lose 👍

An older video from Stormy Daniels, speaking at Oxford University, of all places;

She is the porn star who had a one-night stand, and extramarital affair with Trump.

She was represented by Michael Avenatti. At the time of this event, Michael Avenatti was seriously being considered as a presidential candidate, but was being prosecuted by Nike for blackmail.

After this speech by Stormy Daniels he was found guilty and sent to prison. More recently Avenatti convicted of stealing from Stormy Daniels.

As you'd expect, lots of very rough language.

Unexpectedly Stormy is tight-lipped about Trump.

My friend found her endearing, but he loves American culture. I found her world-wise but crass. The Oxford students were quite pleased with the talk.

Not safe for work. 40 minute video

The Guardian - ‘The music will be amazing’: Trump the DJ at Mar-a-Lago dinner, memo says

 

today

 


Members of the club in Palm Beach, Florida received a memo on Wednesday that they will be treated to “great music” during dinner on Friday and Saturday, “with President Trump playing the role of disc jockey”. ...

 

It remains unclear what music Trump has in mind for this weekend, but the former president has a known penchant for Elton John, though the singer declined to perform at his inauguration.

 

The former president was also known for playing the Village People’s YMCA and Macho Man and Frank Sinatra’s My Way during his appearances as president. ...

 



Presumably you pay not to attend?  🧐

Not having to listen to Trump or be photographed with him: Priceless.

Surprised he doesn't play the Badenweiler March, I'm sure his followers would be impressed.

I wouldn't pay a cent to see or hear that jerk open his stupid mouth and speak. Hell, when he used to come on TV while he was President, I'd put him on mute. I wouldn't even listen to him for free!

What a boring piece of music that is! Give me John Sousa any day.

 

e.g. Liberty  Bell (yes I know shades of Monty Python)





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Destroying the evidence - the sequel ...  😗

 

The Washington Post - The 5-Minute Fix: Why Trump will get away with ripping up official documents

 

today

 


President Donald Trump ripped up papers constantly while in office. Some of his defenders said it was a nervous tic.

 

But Trump knew there was a law against doing so. 

 

After he left office, he took 15 boxes of official records with him * rather than handing them over to the federal government for preservation.

 

This is all in violation of a law - one he knew about ...

 

The law is called the Presidential Records Act, and Trump is the most egregious violator of it in the law’s 44 years of existence, historians say. ...

 

It requires what the name suggests: The law says White Houses must hold on to documents, emails - anything of historical significance - and hand it over to the federal government at the end of a president’s term. 

 

The National Archives takes it from there, putting much of the documents in a president’s library.

 

Why it’s important: The law was passed in 1978, in the wake of Richard Nixon holding on to so many documents, to codify that what happens in the White House really belongs to the American people. ...

 

How it’s enforced: By relying on the good faith of presidents. ... 

 

There’s not much to hold Trump accountable, because the creators of norms such as the Presidential Records Act probably didn’t envision a president smashing through them.

 

 

 

 

* EDIT : The Washington Post - National Archives had to retrieve Trump White House records from Mar-a-Lago

The Guardian: Trump’s incendiary Texas speech may have deepened his legal troubles, experts say

Donald Trump’s incendiary call at a Texas rally for his backers to ready massive protests against “radical, vicious, racist prosecutors” could constitute obstruction of justice or other crimes and backfire legally on Trump, say former federal prosecutors.

Trump’s [multiple rants] that his followers should launch the “biggest protests” ever in three cities ...

...Veteran prosecutors say Trump’s comments seemed to reveal that the former president now feels more legal jeopardy from the three inquiries in Atlanta, Washington and New York, all of which have accelerated since the start of 2022.

Dennis Aftergut, a former federal prosecutor who is of counsel to Lawyers Defending American Democracy, told the Guardian that Trump “may have shot himself in the foot” with the comments.

“Criminal intent can be hard to prove, but when a potential defendant says something easily seen as intimidating or threatening to those investigating the case it becomes easier,” adding “his support for the insurrectionists, Trump added evidence of his corrupt intent on January 6 should the Department of Justice prosecute him for aiding the seditious conspiracy, or for impeding an official proceeding of Congress”.

Likewise, a former US attorney in Georgia, Michael Moore, said Trump’s comments could “potentially intimidate witnesses and members of a grand jury”, noting that it is a felony in Georgia to deter a witness from testifying before a grand jury.

He added Trump “is essentially calling for vigilante justice against the justice system. He’s not interested in the pursuit of justice but blocking any investigations,”

The Michael Moore? Or another one?

 

In all seriousness, what's going to come of this though? Is is going to result in any tangible action towards Trump? He's not going to stop doing this, remember, he (wrongly) thinks the election was "stolen" from him and will probably take that viewpoint to his grave.
