A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Alvin Bragg Runs A Tight Ship I would not have put any amount of money on the Trump indictment not leaking for five days…
Happy Tuxedo Cat Tuesday!!
What a nice young man he is. Such an honest face! I’m sure his supporters wouldn’t hurt a fly…unless the fly was Black, Gay, Latino, Jewish or Muslim, Female, Liberal or a combo of these. He said they’re good people, even great people. Would he lie?
2:15 p.m. ET: Trump arraignment
3:30 p.m. ET: District Attorney Alvin Bragg will hold a press conference
**4pm ET: Beer thirty ‘round here as the MF’er squirms.
Yes, but did Donnie say what they were good at, or is that something we’re to live and learn?
I’m ready for today’s proceedings!
Plus, we have this going on in Florida. Ahh, Karma has a wicked sense of humor some days.
This project goes live tomorrow. I’ll be watching the live feed here, this afternoon, but no TV for me.
And today is the big SC election in Wisconsin that didn’t make the MM (and probably won’t tomorrow, regardless of the outcome, which is sad). If you live in the State, please get out and vote. If you know others that live here, even if you don’t, text them to get out and vote.
While we are feasting upon the carcass of Trump’s freshly killed political career, please keep in mind that he will still receive special treatment during this entire process.
In fact it has already begun…
no mug-shot = special treatment
no bail = special treatment
no cameras in court = special treatment
And there will be more special treatment to come.
But…BUT…protesters were once again outnumbered by reporters.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled schadenfreude…

Not so much, from what I understand - white collar doesn’t get treated the same way in general.
Today is Muddy Waters’ 110th Birthday.
I suggest we celebrate like Muddy Waters would…
(I love the requisite “Don’t Mess around w/ Cocaine” warning at the end)
I have to post this over here, too, because it is just too much fun. You libz all thought Donnie was going to go away quietly, well, he’s NOT. He’s totally gonna blow the lid off Biden’s corruption. TOTALLY.
JHFC.
**4:20…
He might have problems doing that when he has no control over the prosecutorial branch of the government.
Of course, he can always direct Gym to start the investigation, I guess.
If only Lena Horne were around to sing this today to all the imbeciles weeping over their martyred faux-Jesus:
Don’t know why
There’s no sun up in the sky.
Stormy Daniels.
Since my Trump and I ain’t together,
Keeps raining all of the time.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall today.
It is reported that TFG will be arraigned on 34 charges. What are the odds that he will have more tacked onto the indictment just from being in New York City for 18 hours?
The courthouse was stirring
a big busy throng
Awaiting the manwith the mushroom-shaped dong.
Dude did die
Projection Translation:
Didn’t he also allege Bragg has a tRump hating wife?
And so do I.
“it’s politically motivated”!!!
Actually I think the fact that Trump’s walked away from it this long is politically motivated. Listen to the recording. Trump colludes with Cohen to beat campaign finance rules and structure a payoff. It’s Trump and Cohen. But Cohen ends up in the can and unemployed. Trump walks away. Bragg’s hesitation was politically motivated for sure. FOX’s insistence that despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary Trump did nothing wrong…is politically motivated.
Who cares? Everything in politics in politically motivated and “playing politics” is what politicians are supposed to do. Trump’s sins were committed in the political arena. Sure it’s all politically motivated. But if Trump had not done it all the political motivation in the world couldn’t do shit to him.
