A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 1)

Yes, according to The Don, apparently, the Committee should be focused on finding the fraud that the CyberNinjas couldn’t.

We have a shitload of really dumb people in this country who still believe this guy has all his marbles.

I think this has a lot to do with the big news about Hannity, what he knew, when he knew it, and to what extent the big-headed shock jock formerly of Atlanta may choose to cooperate with the House Committee. There comes a point when “save your own ass” takes precedent over “save Donald Trump.”

It may also be the case that Hannity was intended to feature big in Trump’s January 6th extravaganza and Hannity had to tell him, “Sorry, buddy. I’ll be washing my hair. If you get my drift.”

Thank you for an excellent start to 2022, @Pleonast ! :heart_eyes: :clap:t2: :rofl:

It’s Electra-fying…!

He probably heard about the Peter Navarro interview and went into damage control mode.

Or maybe his lawyers finally convinced him that having a public rally to celebrate an insurrection he’s under investigation for inciting was unlikely to end well for him.

Anyone who can do that could persuade a legless Arcturan MegaDonkey to go for a walk.

I think he cancelled because if ‘his’ networks won’t carry him, he won’t get the attention he wants. If he reschedules in the proverbial two weeks, not on the date in question, no one will give a bleeeeep and he’ll get top billing on his preferred networks and plenty on the others as they flare up with factchecking and debunking the inevitable lies.

10% of the attention on 1/6, or 100% of the attention on 1/15 (or so) - seems to be easy to determine what the former narcissist-in-chief would want. If it also dodges a bit of the heat from the 1/6 investigation, so much the better, but with Trump, it’s always about the appearance of being #1.

If it gives him even a little less public exposure, I’m all for it.

Some conservative pundits called the Republican Accountability Project will be airing an ad multiple times on Fox tomorrow, condemning “five lawmakers who were sharply critical of Trump last year, but since either changed their tune or went silent.”

Imagine if it’ll actually sink with one or two viewers, with an emphasis on just those one or two.

Heh - I like the “Here’s Johnny!” effect in that photo cluster.

The spot is set to run during “Fox & Friends,” “Hannity” and “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Thursday

I don’t expect anything will sink in, but there may be a few aneurysms…

Either way, they won’t be voting Republican.

Of the Republican voters viewing that ad, I think the number of people who will re-think their support of the Republican candidates shown because they caved to Trump will be massively out weighed by the number of people who re-think their support for these candidates after seeing that they dared to blame Trump in early 2021.

Well, maybe. But Navarro didn’t say anything that would lead to action by Merrick Garland, as Garland made clear today.

Navarro said plenty that would lead to action by an AG interested in prosecuting coup attempts—but nothing that would bother Garland.

I think you are wrong on this.

Here’s a link to the text of Garland’s speech in its entirety. Folks can make up their own minds.

‘I disagree with Sean on that statement and the facts are proving me right,’ says the former president

Those would be his special facts…

Odd, no subscription here, but accessed the Independent article no probs.
Hopefully this?

I want to know what in that sentence constitutes “lashing out.” “I disagree with Sean…” is hardly a broadside of condemnation. Let us not continue this abuse of the English language.
