I swear to all that is holy that I thought that said “pie” at first and I was imagining a very different scene.
Not sure where to post this. It’s definitely worth noticing:
“Don’t worry that a crazy guy is winning, because the crazy guy is winning!”
Was that not supposed to be the takeaway?
On the plus side, at least someone was apparently able to book the correct “Four Seasons”.
Still pile of manure adjacent.
That sums up the Republican Party since at least 2016.
My reaction was, “Do they really want to remind everyone about that last time?” I mean, every time I see “Four Seasons”, I still chuckle at that disaster.
Since late 2020, it doesn’t have the most pleasant associations for the Trump campaign, I would think.
An engineer co-worker who did side gigs once got involved in a trial over a stolen design. He had designed a circuit for a wireless telephone (remember those?) and handed it off to the product designers of the company who’d hired him and went on his way. A couple years later he got a call from them. The accountant for the company had quit then six months later a company he’d founded came out with a wireless telephone using the same circuit and they wanted him as a witness.
During the cross examination it came up that he and the company attorneys had discussed his testimony over a dinner. The defendants’ attorney hammered down on that and he told me, “I looked that guy in the eye and said, ‘I won’t claim to be perfectly honest but it would take a hell of a lot more than a dinner to convince me to perjure myself.’”
The case was a slam dunk. This was way before CAD and hand-drawn schematics had their own particular stamp in them from the draftsman. He made a transparency copy of the one the defendants had entered into evidence and his own, original drawing. In the courtroom the two were laid atop each other on an overhead projector and were identical but for the title block.
I don’t think this has been posted before …
From that article:
In private, Trump reportedly is having problems dealing with his onslaught of legal problems despite bragging about how they are helping him with fans, with a source telling Axios, “If he really thought it was a good thing, he wouldn’t be so unhinged.”
I mean, if he really thought all of his legal problems were a good thing, that doesn’t sound extremely “hinged” either.
If he really thought he would not get convicted, he would not be pushing so hard to delay, delay, delay.
And to me, that’s why all this doom and gloom I hear about how Trump is invincible, like the Incredible Hulk, and the more legal shit you throw at him just makes him stronger, that’s baloney. Sure, it’s mind-boggling how he has somehow managed to handle piles of scandals that you’d expect would just individually sink anyone else’s campaign, and is still a viable candidate. But I think I’ve said before, he’s like Mr. Burns and the Three Stooges Syndrome, or at least the legal equivalent.
Just imagine those diseases are instead legal problems. There are so many that they just sort of overwhelm and people get fatigue about them. And Trump can say, surely one person can’t be this guilty, this has to be persecution by my enemies.
Or to quote the video…
BURNS: “So what you’re saying is that I’m indestructible!”
DOCTOR: “Oh, no-no, and in fact even a slight breeze could…”
BURNS: “In-de-structible…”
Nancy Mace held a Trump rally today in South Carolina. The volume of support… wow. I think if you remove the obvious staff members (those in black coats like DC professionals wear), you might have 20 people?
But look at that big ship!
Compensation.
“Three Stooges Syndrome” is even better.
Yes, but as a prominent exponent of Stoogeology, I would say this phenomenon is more properly understood as an example of Archie-Meathead syndrome.
What’s that on her leash? A penguin?
Dozens of us, dozens!!
