Jesse Watters accidently fully explains and admits what Rump did. On the air.  
As one person replied, “Correct… that’s the illegal part Jesse.”

( For those who don’t know, Jesse Watters is the thinner greasier cleaning sponge that takes the place of the old fat Tucker Carlson product. He fits most rifle bores and most MAGA women. )

Tim Murphy, I don’t know him, had this response:  
“Jesse Watters is the Paul Gosar of Louis Gohmerts.”

I do like how Jesse Watters clapped his hands together to show how tidy, neat, and finished the situation was. What a fucking idiot.

There is a great ad from an anti-Trump Republican group linked at this Yahoo story showing how someone with 88 felonies pending and who has been found liable for sexual assault would have a difficult time getting a job at a mall:

I’m seeing some results in PA tonight that have cheered me up a bit. Nikki got almost 17%. And the fact that no huge crowds are showing up for trump at the courthouse is sweet news.

I heard on All Things Considered that despite Trump complaining that the police were preventing his people from getting anywhere near the courthouse, they had set up a protest area in a park across the street but it was nearly empty. But I can’t find a cite for this online. Anyone know of one?

Not specifically, but here’s an article from _Salon_ that alludes to it:

> As the New York Times reported, “A day after Trump issued a call for more supporters to gather outside the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse, the number reached its nadir. The number of identifiable Trump fans across the street in Collect Pond Park on Tuesday sank to the mid-single digits, after hovering at about a dozen for a week.”
> 
> Trump’s lies are about soothing his own ego, of course, but it also reads like a dare: C’mon, MAGA! Cops didn’t stop you on January 6! And yet, they keep not showing up to protest Trump’s criminal trial, peacefully or otherwise. It’s not like anyone is stopping them, either. No matter what story Trump wants to tell, it’s obvious what’s happening: MAGA isn’t there because they don’t want to be.

This isn’t the first time he’s begged Republicans in office to come to his rescue. Dude’s whole world is collapsing around him and he’s scared. How some Republican talking heads can tell us with a straight face Donald is strong is beyond me.

That’s why. “Sponsored” really needs a better algorithm but Meta doesn’t give a shit; they even let scams in there, including ones which launch fake virus warnings when clicked.

And, like most MAGAts, he doesn’t understand that elected officials can’t just make stuff happen by snapping their fingers. We have, you know, laws and stuff.

I see in Trump’s rant that he once again lied that he never met Carroll.

So he’s still lying and defaming her, even after a judgement was issued against him for defamation. Is there any way to stop him from doing this? I suppose she could sue him again.

Suing Trump again is about the only option Carroll has to stop him from lying about her. I don’t believe this is the first time since the second verdict that Trump has defamed her, so maybe she’s biding her time before hitting him with another suit. I don’t want to rush her or anything, but I’d appreciate it if she could just make Trump’s life a little more stressful at this time.
