President Trump adopted as his own attacks on the foreperson of the jury in the prosecution of GOP provocateur Roger Stone on Thursday, bringing his interference in the case of a former campaign adviser to a new level.
Yes, Trump is totally out of control, AND IT’S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE!
And Democrats need to start saying out loud that the president is a nutcase.
If Judge Berman does not sentence Stone to the fullest sentence available to her, then it is clear that we have taken a big step toward becoming a banana republic.
I fully anticipate that Trump will pardon Stone, While i can hope that he will wait until after the election so that Stone can spend some time inside prison, I don’t see Trump being even that savvy.
You know, if only twitter would do the right thing and remove this abuser, we would be so much better off. He would have no way to communicate all this garbage. Twitter is an enabler and people should boycott them.
What a novel and brilliant idea, post-trial and pre-sentencing voir dire. Why didn’t Blackstone think of it?!? And, obviously, the prevailing standard for it must be that any juror who voted to convict was clearly biased against the defendant and therefore their vote must be dismissed. Sheer stable genius!
Boy would I love to be a Jury Foreman in a Trump trial.
It’s time to change WWJD to WWHD, and we all know who H is. Ask Taika Waititi.
The GOP let the inmate out of the asylum and now he’s running amok.
He’s back to hiring all the old pals from 3 years ago because he’s so demented, he cannot remember the names of any of the new ones any more.
Also, he’s hiring them back because none of them can get decent job (looking at you, Spicy) due to the stench that has followed them.
It’s not the president. It’s the Republican Party–its media agents, its paramilitary agents, its senators, its administrators, its funders, its talking heads. The entire party is out of control and has no place in America–a country specifically devoted to democracy and its values, last time I checked the constitution
Making up excuses for his predictable pardon of his henchman.
He is just making more work for Barr, and the rest of the lackeys. They have to spin all this shit and come up with reasons why it is all kosher. Luckily they have Fox News and the rest of the wingnut-sphere to help him make up ridiculous excuses.
So…besides trying to scare whistleblowers and anyone who would testify against him…he is now trying to PRE-scare anyone who is empaneled against him?
DAMN…how do the repubs sleep at night?
It’s like that time that late former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner kept firing and rehiring the also late Billy Martin as manager. I once had a very mercurial boss who did this. If he’s reduced to bringing back the retreads who couldn’t get it done the first time, he must be getting desperate. Good.
Quite snugly in their coffins.
Jesus f’g Christ it’s going to be a long year. And if Barr&Co succeeds in ratfckg the election life won’t be worth living. I could almost wish the year were over already just to (PLEASE, IF THERE IS ANY MERCY) end the dread.
That’s exactly my read on it.
Some reporter needs to point blank ask Trump: ’
“Is it OK to lie with your hand on the Bible? (As did Stone.)”
I’m wondering how we’re able to sleep at night.
It is getting harder to see his behavior as anything other than pure mania and reaction. If he was supposed to be happy about being acquitted, it looks like it triggered something else.
“The President is totally out of control,” William Yeomans, a former deputy assistant attorney general, told TPM…
Cheer up! The worst is yet to come!
