Jeff Tiedrich strikes again... a must read, people.

https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/holy-shit-donald-trumps-reckless?utm_source=substack&utm_medium

'holy shit, Donald Trump's reckless mouth is going to land him in custody. pass the popcorn
Donald Trump has the right to remain silent. too bad he doesn’t have the ability.'


'Donald Trump believes that he is above the law...he has every reason to believe that. since the 1970s, Donald Trump has crimed without consequence all the way through his entire soft, pampered life. ..Little Donny Fuckface was arraigned last Thursday for masterminding the January 6th insurrection. after being released without having to post bail, the judge warned him not to commit any further crimes, and to basically shut the fuck up and not threaten or intimidate anybody — or his bail agreement would be revoked...if this were you or I, our lawyers would tell us to shut the fuck up, and oh boy, would we shut the fuck up...but Donald Trump is a moron — and nobody tells Donald Trump what to do. shutting the fuck up was never going to be an option...

you’d think by now that Trump would have learned that the Man Who Convicts War Criminals in The Hague does not fuck around. Jack Smith responded immediately...hours later, on Saturday, we learned that Judge Chutkan also does not fuck around....you would think that Donny might learn a lesson here, and maybe stop digging himself deeper. you would be wrong...hours later, Trump was back on his shitty app, attacking potential witness Mike Pence.'

Read on.. (my words).

on almost every channel. Do we hear anything about Joe? Hardly anything except his son this his son that.

Personally I wish his son would have a speedy trial just to get them to shut the fuck up about him.

I am soo glad Joe put his name on the projects being done across America.

The answer is already known: Biden is not too old.

But, if media both-siders and horse-racers keep disingenuously asking the question, people who aren't paying close attention will assume maybe there's something to it, that maybe the question is NOT yet answered.

This mirrors the Republicans' typical "if-I-keep-shouting-'Smoke!'-people-will-believe-there's-a-fire" routine.

where he was the tough guy boss. All he had to say is "you're fired" and they were gone. That's how he acted during his administration. I think he really thinks he's the boss on a reality show, and nobody suffers real consequences on a reality show. He went through the looking glass and he's never coming back.

Before he was ever on a reality show, he ran his business the same way.

That's what he thinks it means to be a "successful" businessman.

And there are no consequences to behavior on a TV show. It brought out the worst in him and he began to feel omnipotent.

The events within this courtroom will dictate the terms. Not Trump. Not the Freedom Caucus. The evidence and the verdict. That's all that matters, obfuscations aside.

He WANTS to be incarcerated. That would support his claim that this is all about keeping him from running for president.

Sun Aug 6, 2023, 04:34 PM
Aug 2023

He’s pushing the judge to take another step towards silencing him (sanctions, bail requirement, etc.) so he can play the victim card to the fullest. It would enable him to continue to push the idea to his followers that his freedom of speech is being denied.

He’s doing this to whip his base into what he hopes to be a violent frenzy.

He is being totally defiant in order to stir up his base, and cause a nationwide insurrection while he is still out, free from incarceration, and can watch it on multiple widescreen TV's safely within Mar-a-lago.......like he did on J6th........

If he's gagged, he wouldn't be able to say the courts have denied him his free speech.

Because, that's what being gagged entails. We don't have to hear him whining about anything.

Because, well, gagged.

I'm trying to see the downside of this one...

I hope it happens on a day that isn't already a national holiday, so Congress will feel free to declare a new national holiday commemorating the event.




*And for the one or two who aren't familiar with the word by now:

Do you ever look at someone and feel like punching them in the face? Well, Germans have a unique word for that face: a Backpfeifengesicht — a face that’s badly in need of a fist. https://germanyinusa.com/2019/02/22/word-of-the-week-backpfeifengesicht/
