From "Trump ArraignmentTrump Pleads Not Guilty in Documents Case/Donald J. Trump, the first former president to be charged with federal crimes, appeared in court in Miami on charges related to his handling of classified documents. He faces 37 counts after an inquiry by the special counsel, Jack Smith" (NYT)
"At Bedminster, in the parallel universe that will serve as a political rally of sorts, club workers have set up bunting, American flags, roughly 150 white chairs for attendees and the type of blue podium that Trump used as president. The work is going on under blistering sunshine and to the dulcet tones of 'Bennie and the Jets,' by Elton John, over the speaker system."

...and the type of blue podium that Trump used as president.
If someone claimed he stole it, perhaps he can be charged for that, too.
At least they're giving him the fig leaf of a trial. Rate things are going I'm shocked they're giving him even that.
I picture FBI agents writing down license plates in the parking lot, and Don Jr and Eric coming out to harass them. And the first Trump adviser to suggest a sit down with DOJ being strangled from the back seat of a tesla.
And Uncle Benny comes home?

Bennie & the Jets is a rip off of Ziggy Stardust.
Trump’s song list is heavy on nostalgia and light on greatness.
Instead of playing Moonage Daydream he plays this tripe.
Go ahead, get crazy, play Kate Smith's rendition of 'God Bless America'.
Trump's only crime was defeating Hillary in the 2016 election. America's last, legitimate, Presidential election.
EVERYTHING else is vengeful bullshit.
I will read exactly zero articles on the merits of this case … or the demerits as well. It’d be like sneaking into the locker room of the Washington Generals to listen to their game plan as they prepare to take on the Harlem Globetrotters once again, angling for that ever elusive win. Or from another angle it’d be like listening to the guy who won the lottery describe his technique. Iow, a complete waste of brain neurons.
The whole thing is rotten to the core and more destructive to the country than any political act I’ve witnessed in my 70 years. Joe Biden truly is the most corrupt and vile president we have ever had. He makes Warren Harding look like George Washington.
We will survive this no doubt because America is just too rich, deep, and grounded. But what a dark day this is in our history: indicting a former president for crimes no one knows nor understands nor cares about.
The whole case is an example of the decline and fall of this country as a republic.
The amusing part of this farce is that there is no allegation about classified documents being "mishandled."
I've always seen Ghost Riders as a Christian-based warning - change and repent.
Sometimes a song is just a song. Only overwrought adolescents think that songs are talking to them.
I’m seeing headlines like “Majority of Americans believe indictments politically motivated.”
Majority? This clearly shows that people lie to pollsters baldfacedly. Everybody knows it’s politically motivated, every single human being on planet earth. Even bush-dwelling aborigines who have never heard of the internet or Trump. Every. Single. Human.
I’m going to play Leonard Cohen’s masterpiece now, “Everybody Knows.” Because it seems to match my theme. You should too.

Sadly, no. I have a family member comparing this to the OJ Simpson trial. And if Trump skates, it will be for the same reason.
There is no reasoning with these fools.
I keep hearing the newsies saying "Trump is the first former President charged with . . . ." Maybe I missed it when they said "Biden is the first President who brought a federal criminal prosecution against his opponent". Isn't that the real news?
Trump's only crime was defeating Hillary in the 2016 election
Ending Obama's war in Iraq (a segue from his disastrous pullout), the $100 billion dollar funded terrorist regime in Iran (with funds from overridden counterclaims), questioning Biden's Spring in Ukraine with "benefits", questioning labor and environmental arbitrage (e.g. slavery, immigration reform, Green energy), bringing North Korea, KSA, etc. to the diplomatic table, exposing the principal driver -- prices, not costs -- (i.e. Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacares) of progressive prices ("inflation") in single/central/monopolistic solutions, and, unfortunately, following the advice of experts (e.g. Michigan where planned parent/hood was a viable solution), etc. From the people's perspective, it was not following through (e.g. shared responsibility). Oh, and standing up to the progress of human rights under the twilight faith, ethical religion, and liberal ideology.
pious agnostic said "Sometimes a song is just a song. Only overwrought adolescents think that songs are talking to them." Our hostess hardest hit!

Geez. You can't even get The Godfather sub-references right.
The reason this caper was set for the day it was is to try to hide the Biden corruption story. I wonder if it will work ? I hope that CHS has copies of those audio tapes.
The first POTUS to be charged of a FEDERAL Crime.
How did this "Crime" hurt the USA or national security in any meaningful way?
Answer: It didn't.
There used to be a respect for the Institution of the Presidency. And a desire by former POTUS' and current Presidents to protect the office - and former Presidents.
Biden has completely destroyed that. Bush has agreed to it with his silence. I assume what's REALLY happened, is the Liberal/left establishment no longer thinks it needs the Presidency to impose it will on the American Peole. Congress has been bought off and is completely under its thumb.
People like Pelosi, Bush, Biden, etc. have no desire to keep the norms and traditions of the past. They hate Trump and want to destroy him. People used to be proud that only 2 POTUS were tried for impeachments in 200 years. Now, its just a routine matter. People used to think President's shouldn't be charged with crimes or put in jail unless it was Super-serious. Now, its just "hey, you misplaced some documents, and we hate you".
Thw old USA is dead. Maybe the new Bannana republic USA will be better. But I don't think so.
Every time crap like this has happens, Mitt Romney (our great 2012 Nominee) and George Bush either support the Democrats in their norm busting Jihad against Trump or they remain silent.
I've come to despise both of them. And I regret ever defending either "man".

It looks like the goal is to pull a royal straight flush.
Run against Trump while imprisoning Trump for crimes of security and being Trump. It's a big ask, and to date this team hasn't shown me that they have what it takes to pull it off. Like with Covid, they ask way too much of people and expect them to forget all the parts that went wrong. I feel the weight of Stein's law slowly pressing down on their joy at the prosecution's case.
But then, I'm just another jamoke. What do I know?
Sorry Drago. Do you picture things where protagonists just get it off camera?

Even my liberal friends, the ones that haven't dumped me, are beginning to ask questions about the Biden family corruption. Better late than never, I suppose.

How they can get in on it, maybe?

It's not my fault you are so dense you confuse the actions and outcomes for different characters like Tessio and Carlo.
Capo Tessio first approached Michael for a sitdown with the Corleone enemies...in Tessio's territory where Michael "would be safe". Tessio was the one who would be dealt with off camera...which leaves us in doubt as to the means of murder. However, we know Tessio was placed in the back seat of the car...so the only way he was going to strangled from the "back seat" was if someone reached thru from the trunk of the car to do it!
I realize that you morons still believe Trump reached out 6 feet to wrestle the wheel away from the Secret Service agent driver of the Beast to try and get to the capital to lead the "armed insurrection", but come on.
However, it was Connie's weak husband Carlo, beaten in the street by Sonny, that was approached by Barzini to turn on his family and did so, leading to Sonny's death at the causeway shoot-em-up....leading to Michael making Carlo answer for Santino's death by being garroted from behind in the car on camera by Capo Clemenzo.
Francis Ford Coppola got Puzo right, but you do you.
In 2012, a U.S. District Court in DC denied access by Judicial Watch to audiotapes kept in former President Bill Clinton’s sock drawer at the time he left office.
The court ruling, issued by Judge Amy Berman Jackson, rejected arguments by the conservative watchdog group that sought access to dozens of tapes recorded by Mr. Clinton and historian Taylor Branch during his administration.
Judge Jackson ruled that the tapes belonged to Mr. Clinton, even though the discussions included a broad range of presidential matters. But there was no classified documented information brought up at trial nor were there 11,000 documents carried to insecure storage as was the case with President Trump's haul.
The real unanswered question is: Why didn't Judicial Watch request access to Trump's stash at Mar-a-Lago after January 20, 2021, when the controversy began? Then there was this from Limbaugh:
RUSH: You remember the story we had on the program yesterday that Tom Fitton at Judicial Watch, through a Freedom of Information Act request, had secured a bunch of documents from the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor detailing how they had run seminars for seminar callers, that they had actually run training missions to train people how to call this program and try to corrupt it? We recognized when this began to happen, and I named these callers "seminar callers" because they weren't real.
And back in the day, I believed every word that the man uttered - even when he was joking about the name of the Clinton Library and Museum - with its private residence above the presidential library.

The 11th Circuit scheduled this "caper." The unproven Biden bribe story has been floating around for six years. Biden laughed when the NY Post asked about the bribe today.

That's what always amazed me. The leftist and GOPe politicians and their friends make a fortune from their narrative. While the rank and file dummies sit there and repeat the nonsense like it's the ten commandments from on high. No Democrat politician anywhere has said or done anything for free. There's always a payout. The average lib on the street sits there drooling and does thier legwork for nothin'.
Drago, you forgot about the tesla.

Where have you gone Gerald Rudolph Ford?
Our nation turns its jaundiced eyes to you
Woo, woo, woo

Bob Dylan has been writing knock-offs of "Jabberwocky" for more than a half century now.

FMWYW's number one Internet Iron Law? No subject, no clickum.
Readering: "Drago, you forgot about the tesla."
That's only because I wanted to give you a break since according to you Tesla's wouldn't exist by now after Elon destroyed the company and I didn't want to load that moronic hot take by you onto all the other mistakes you made.
You're welcome.
gadfly: "The unproven Biden bribe story has been floating around for six years."
LOL
As long as Ashley Biden's diary proved Joe Biden showered with an adolescent Ashley....which you, gadfly, passionately defended as perfectly normal.
I think you have probably already lost the room with your cringe-worthy defense of the ChiCom/Ukrainian purchased and Russki compromised Biden.
But you do you...like Joe did Ashley.
Drago, dump in tesla? You must have me confused with another of the small, hardy band of Commenters who seem to rattle you so easily.
