A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 2)

The BBQ Pit
1861

It’s the same “gut” feeling that made him determine his reelection had been stolen.

1862

Trump attorney Alina Habba forgot to request a jury trial in the New York fraud case, so now it will be decided by the judge.

1863

Deutsche Welle:

Some lawmakers on the right flank had said they would try to remove McCarthy as House leader if he did not forge ahead with an impeachment effort against Biden.

Reuters:

But even after the announcement, hardline Representative Matt Gaetz again raised the possibility of ousting McCarthy under the terms of a deal he agreed to become speaker, which gave any one member the power to call a vote for his removal. Gaetz said the speaker could face multiple votes on motions to “vacate the chair” for failing to comply with a secret agreement that allowed him to become speaker in January.

Damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.

1864

Oh, he’s been damned for a long time now. And now he’s in a hell of his own making.

1865

This isn’t really Trump-related, but I did get a frisson of schadenfreude reading about how Boebert doesn’t know how to behave in public.

1866

I didn’t know law degrees came in cereal boxes.

1867

You think Trump might sue her for malpractice?

1868

Trump wouldn’t recognize malpractice if it sat on his face and wriggled.

1869

Need I remind you we’re talking about a man who blames everyone else when things go wrong and has a penchant for throwing his allies under the bus?

1870

Ugh, seriously just ugh. I will now have nightmares.

1871

Failing to request a jury could be malpractice. It happens, each jurisdiction has different requirements and it sometimes falls through the cracks. The federal civil system is particularly strict (I think you have only 10 days). However, to win a malpractice case you would have to establish that it probably would have made a difference in the outcome. That’s a tough burden. But not impossible. I wonder if Trump’s lawyers even have malpractice insurance.

1872

Not a chance. She looks good on television. That’s the most important quality he looks for in lawyers.

1873

I mean, just look at Cheesebro! Soooo dreamy!

1874

Note that she was literally a lawyer for a parking company before Trump saw her and decided she needed to be his legal counsel.

There’s just the tiniest possibility that she’s in a bit over her head trying to defend Trump in these high profile, precedent-setting legal cases.

1875

So is someone at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

1876

If you are representing a blob fish as your client, you don’t have a choice there.

1877

1878

Putting him back in the water isn’t much of an improvement.

1879

Will this test involve playing a round of golf without a cart, walking down a ramp, or lifting a glass of water with one hand?

1880

I didn’t know Trump University had a law school.
