The Rude Pundit shouts out what we're all thinking about Trump

[Cyrano]

The Rude Pundit wrote this at the end of Sept, but Trump's actions are as criminal at this very moment, as they've been for the past few years.

I can't get past something when it comes to the multiple crimes of Donald Trump, who really was president, something I still can't fucking believe happened - I mean, I know it happened. I'm not denying the existence of facts, like Trump and his braindead legions do. I'm just always gonna be like "Fuck us that we let that happen". And it's really simple, one of those elegant confluences of circumstance that should have complete clarity. It's this:

The law is intensely clear: With a few exceptions that need to be approved, the records of a presidential administration belong to the nation, not the president. All of it, classified, unclassified, and declassified, go to the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, an office set up to take care of those records that are, again, by law, the nation's. There's no wiggle room on this.

-snip-

And this is what bugs the shit out of me. I get that rich people are treated differently when it comes to legal matters. I get that presidents are treated with kid gloves for some goddamn reason. But Trump and the people around him took those documents that don't belong to him. Then NARA gave them the benefit of the doubt (or pretended to) and said, "Hey, you took these documents that by law don't belong to you. Please give them back." Then, not only did they not give them all back, they lied and said they did, which means they fucking well knew they had shit that didn't belong to them. Under the most generous of definitions, that's theft. They fucking robbed the country.

So I cannot wrap my brain around the idea that Trump and everyone involved in keeping the documents were not immediately arrested when the FBI fucking caught them with stolen fucking property.

-snip-

Right now, a plague of lawsuits and investigations ought to be making Trump wonder if he'd rather live the rest of his miserable life in the UAE, Russia, or Indonesia when it comes to places without extradition treaties. And I know, I know, I fucking know that you want to be optimistic, even gleeful, thinking, "There's no fucking way he gets out of all of this." I mean, c'mon. If nothing else, E. Jean Carroll's lawsuit accusing Trump of raping her has to bring him down. She's got DNA evidence, after all.

-snip-

The Mueller Report has become nothing more than a failed witch hunt (which it wasn't). The impeachment over Ukraine has become part of the "Russia hoax" (it's not a hoax and the phrase has become so broad as to encompass anything that even mentions Russia and Trump). Trump prances all around his red state yahoo fests, lying about this shit with extravagant abandon as he pushes closer and closer to simply saying, "Kill everyone not like you."

-snip-

I'm honestly pissed as hell at Cyrus Vance and every AG and DA who allowed Trump and his shit children to remain free to fuck over more people. The only explanation that makes sense is that they have been corrupted in some way. It's why Letitia James's actions have been so stunning and relieving to many of us up here. You can sit there in another area of the country and think it was wrong for her to be so open about her desire to bring Trump down. But you don't understand how much we genuinely fucking hate him. She could be so brazen in her contempt for Trump because Trump's been so brazen in his contempt for the law.

-snip-

"But what about Georgia and New York?" an imaginary reader might ask. Those cases would go forward, but then we're into what happens in Georgia in 2022 and we're into the delays until 2024. The New York case is going to take years because that's the way financial bullshit works. Then the gamble is that Trump or someone Trumpish is gonna win the presidency. Then we're all so fucked that we're gonna have to head into the streets to stop the Christian nationalists from forcing us into the "Love Jesus or Die" camps.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope that this is just that typical Democratic anxiety about winning.

-snip-

Yeah, fucking enjoy Trump's shitty week. Enjoy the shitty weeks to come. But we're not playing a fair game here. Or that dull orange motherfucker would be sitting in a cell, awaiting trial.

1. Once again, Rude has crystallized my thoughts exactly!

The courts, the DOJ and the Trump society are just playing a shell game that distracts from the real, basic truth - that the lot of them should be in jail awaiting trial.

[calimary]

13. This. Abso-freakin'-lutely THIS.

ALL of this.

[dchill]

21. So. You're really smart, too, right? 👍😉

This really is too damned obvious!

[2naSalit]

2. K&R

[Lonestarblue]

3. If someone robbed a bank and the FBI got a warrant to search the suspect's home where they

found money marked with special ink to show it came from that bank, would the FBI just take the money and not arrest the person for bank robbery? No. That person would be sitting in jail awaiting trial or would be out on bail.

Yet Trump just sits at his golf resorts and is free to carry on his social media war against democracy. He is allowed to misuse the courts to delay any indictments or trials, even to the point of judge shopping to get a friendly judge. Must be great to be above the law.

4. Fair warning rudepundit dot com - I'm getting multiple security hits trying to access.

Not sure if real threats, or bogus because of progressive content, I'll be researching.

Use due diligence. If cool or not I'll post back as I can.

And gotta love Mr. Rude P. Tells it like it is.

[FoxNewsSucks]

6. I guarantee it's because of progressive content.

Progressive sites are the only thing I get those kinds of warnings about.

Along with changing search engine algorithms, it's just another small way to divert traffic away from liberal things.

[Tommymac]

9. Thanks. nt

[Joinfortmill]

12. Ya, some weird stuff going on trying to access it.

[Leith]

15. I had the same problem

because the URL is not rudepundit dot com. It's

https://rudepundit.blogspot.com/

Let me know if this one works better.

[Cyrano]

19. Thanks. Sorry for posting it incorrectly.

[soldierant]

26. Thanks. i figured iit was either

http:// (which always gives securoty watnings because almost everyone has SSL now) or something like this.

[OverBurn]

23. Try this one, I didn't get any warning, latest chrome browser. https://rudepundit.blogspot.com/

[jaxexpat]

5. It's this, Christian's.

When they come to your door to investigate your religious tendencies, what will your answer be? Willl it be," yes, I believe in Jesus." Or will it be, "get behind me Satan?" Just asking for every martyr who ever was.

[FoxNewsSucks]

7. My response will be

NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS, now get the hell off my property.

[FoxNewsSucks]

8. Oh dear! I'm sure someone will be along soon to express their offense

at his use of no-no words like "fuck" instead of helping spread the message that we should continue to be patient.

[Traildogbob]

10. 🤜🤛

The horror. Fuck em. Fuck Fuck Fuck. Spend 7 months on a Destroyer with all males. They would be screaming Fuck Fuck Fuck in a week. “Or fuck, what the Fucking shit, when did they put the fucking powdered mild in the canisters. For Fucks sake, how about a fucking warning sign. Fuckin mess hall fucks. Fuckin A!

[Joinfortmill]

11. He said it. He said every fucking thing we're all fucking pissed, confused and frightened about.

[onecaliberal]

14. Nailed it. This speaks for me.

[mountain grammy]

16. K & R for the rude truth

[Biophilic]

17. Every time I read the Rude Pundit I go 'Hell yeh!!'

[Taraman]

18. Will these criminals EVER be held to account?

I waited forever for Mueller and Rosenstein. I waited on Cyrus Vance. I waited on Aileen Cannon... They are all equally corrupt. History of the United States, if it exists in 10 years, will not be kind to all these quislings.

[3auld6phart]

40. Nope

Not a gawddamn thing will happen to Drumpfh. He really should be doing time in ADX Florence
Save a lot of coin on sSecret Service agents. Wishful thinking. But sucking up to pooty Pukin was a no,no. Espionage .

[Cha]

20. KICK!!

And, DT tried to Overthrow the US Government!! Fucking Fascist Maggat Cockroach!

[Warpy]

22. Think of what happens to we the people when we're found with a roomful of stolen property

and think about how they're all pussyfooting around that bastard.

Yeah, makes me angry, too.

[leftieNanner]

24. And he still has some

National Archives says they have not yet recovered all of the documents.

[uponit7771]

36. +1, Whitey Bulger murdered for years before the alphabet crews were outed. Same with TFG

[Warpy]

41. A few low level people finally rolled on Whitey

Yeah, I was in Boston when that bastard was doing his thing. He controlled a lot of dirty money, so he was protected.

I imagine the same thing is happening to TFG, people he considered as part of his office furniture are talking. His supposed money is still protecting him, along with his crowd of maniacal fans and the mystique of the presidency, even though he was utterly wretched at that job. There might now be enough of a paper trail to put him away, or at least make him flee the country with a fake passp0rt if his haven't been returned. He just needs to find a place desperate enough to take him.

[Blue Owl]

25. K and fucking R

[Evolve Dammit]

27. Not disagreeing with anything here. Home Run RP. The judicial system is impotent.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

28. Traitortrump is still free. Would you be?

[DAngelo136]

29. You Know...

In some Southern (Red)states, you can be arrested and charged for an overdue library book. It HAS happened before:https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-man-reportedly-arrested-due-to-overdue-library-book

But taking government property; particularly CLASSIFIED, SECRET DOCUMENTS is somehow dismissed by the GOP? Really? Is this how they roll?

[bagimin]

30. x 100 n/t

[dalton99a]

31. Kick

[GoodRaisin]

32. Kick

[mwb970]

33. I don't understand why trump never faces any consequences for his endless crimes.

[uponit7771]

38. Please read about White Bulger (link) and tell me TFG isn't him but on a way bigger scale

https://themobmuseum.org/notable_names/whitey-bulger/

[Roy Rolling]

34. All I Can Say

I know there’s a pony down there somewhere.

[uponit7771]

35. K&R, Trump is Whitey Bulger **BEFORE** news article outing the alphabet crews

[bucolic_frolic]

37. It speaks volumes that only the banal fiancial crimes and petty theft are being pursued

It says that everyone else is under fear of what TDFG has on them, and the whole system, really. Sort of a private Wikileaks I would guess.

[DallasNE]

39. As Near As I Can Tell

Trump is claiming his executive powers in the Constitution granted him these rights and a mere law like the Presidential Record Act must give way to that power and has asked the Supreme Court to so rule.
