I’m sure there’s a fast food joint somewhere looking for some help. Or maybe a Walmart greeter?

I think I’m going to open a matchmaking site for corrupt, hackish judges to meet corrupt hackish attorneys.
Judge Cannon - you need clerks.
Mr. Eastman - you need a job…
May there be many feces on your walls!

Ya Don’t Say?
One of the brothers just referenced above, Michael Shvartsman makes a cameo, makes a cameo in this new piece from The Guardian: “Donald Trump’s social media company Trump Media managed to go public last week only after it had been kept afloat in 2022 by emergency loans provided in part by a Russian-American businessman under scrutiny in a federal insider-trading and money-laundering investigation.”
A bit more on that…
"Truth" Social Propped Up By Shady Russian-American
In an exclusive report this morning, the Guardian 's Hugo Lowell writes that Trump Media, the parent of Truth Social, was propped up in 2022 with loans from a Russian-American under investigation for insider trading and money laundering. Once again, the Malignant Loser found a helping hand from Russians eager to keep him on their side:
" Donald Trump’s social media company Trump Media managed to go public last week only after it had been kept afloat in 2022 by emergency loans provided in part by a Russian-American businessman under scrutiny in a federal insider-trading and money-laundering investigation.
The former US president stands to gain billions of dollars – his stake is currently valued at about $4bn – from the merger between Trump Media and Technology Group and the blank-check company Digital World Acquisition Corporation, which took the parent company of Truth Social public.
But Trump Media almost did not make it to the merger after regulators opened a securities investigation into the merger in 2021 and caused the company to burn through cash at an extraordinary rate as it waited to get the green light for its stock market debut.
The situation led Trump Media to take emergency loans, including from an entity called ES Family Trust, which opened an account with Paxum Bank, a small bank registered on the Caribbean island of Dominica that is best known for providing financial services to the porn industry.
Through leaked documents, the Guardian has learned that ES Family Trust operated like a shell company for a Russian-American businessman named Anton Postolnikov, who co-owns Paxum Bank and has been a subject of a years-long joint federal criminal investigation by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) into the Trump Media merger." [snip]
Paxum Bank does not offer loans in the US as it lacks a US banking license and is not regulated by the FDIC. Postolnikov appears to have used the trust to loan money to help save Trump Media – and the Truth Social platform – because his bank itself could not furnish the loan . " (our emphasis)
Read the whole article for an understanding of the shady world of offshore “banking” of the kind that ES Family Trust and Paxum Bank represent, in this instance in service to the Kremlin.

This was no “accident”, it was a deliberate atrocity, and I have a hard time believing it was a rogue drone operator. The more I think about the more I am convinced that was done in order to publicly humiliate Biden. Netanyahu is giving Biden the domination treatment (just like Putin gave Trump one) in order make him lose the election. It will be a shame that we lose America, because Biden was trying so hard to save Israel.

This judge looks to be having no more f*cks to give with regard to Trump’s antics, so it looks like jury selection will start on the 15th and we’re off to the races.
I’m not expecting much more than a wrist slap and no jail time if he’s convicted, since he’s a first time offender and I don’t want to get my hopes up too far. Cohen went to jail, but he was hit with additional charges. Anyway it’s going to be fun watching him deal with this, his first criminal prosecution. And then he’s no longer a first offender for the following trials.

Wiki says Jack Smith has one child. Trump is falling down on the job evidently, he hasn’t threatened the child yet. He probably has some staff doing a bit of investigating before choosing which weak spot to needle. With any luck the kid will have autism or some other disability he can publicly make fun of.
