A Perfectly Reasonable Amount of Schadenfreude about Things Happening to Trump & His Enablers (Part 3)

So many criminal ham sandwiches roaming free…

He is the world’s expert on everything except when comes to wrong doing by him and his croneys at which point he’s suddenly a babe in the woods.

The old joke: ‘An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing.’

Staffed by low IQ on-air talent.

An ‘ex’ is a has-been and a ‘spurt’ is a drip under pressure.

Works better verbally.

Ben Meiselas of the MeidasTouch Network YouTube channel calls it “state-run media Fox News,” but he’s getting to be a little too reactionary for me. Everything to him is the worst thing ever, and while Trump is a vile piece of trash, Ben’s constant calling him that detracts from the actual story.

I’m beginning to give him up over Michael Popok.

I hadn’t heard this; a real hope-spot! If the die-hard right-wing viewing audience is shrinking, it’s good for the country.

When times are good, people are tolerant of liars; now that times are not so good, it seems possible that folks we’d written off are showing some actual intelligence (by rejecting the Fox propaganda).

I also wonder if Fox News is losing viewership to even more hard-right, pro-Trump outlets like Newsmax and OANN.

If so, that would inspire less hope, of course. Whatever the truth, I do hope that advertisers are leery of those outlets and withholding their dollars. (Neither Newsmax or OANN is particularly profitable, so far as I know.)

I worry about what actions Trump may attempt as he feels the walls closing in around him.

I got tired of Meiselas’ hyperbolic language about Trump “panicking” or MAGA being crushed, destroyed, or owned by whatever Democrat was castigating them that day a while back. I still watch on occasion, but only the first few minutes and then I skip the rest.

You are not the only one:

Bonus points and kudos for an early version of Janis Joplin’s Me and Bobby McGee as musical coda. She later improved on that version, but you hear the promise of better things to come.
I did anyway.

James O’Keefe (formerly of Project Veritas) and Cam Higby have been charged with unlawful voting and identity theft in Minnesota. During the state’s primary, the dynamic duo, dressed as Muslims, attempted to use the vouching process to vote in place of people who were not present at the polling place. They of course were being secretly filmed. They used the names of registered voters without permission.

The pair of influencers disguised and recorded themselves going undercover using hidden cameras at the polling places. They posted videos capturing their interactions on social media in August. O’Keefe said on X that they dressed in “Muslim garb” — including, for one of them, a full-face veil known as a niqab — and that their goal was to “expose the sheer lunacy of Minnesota’s ‘vouching’ system.”

After O’Keefe and Higby’s videos became public in August, Simon said in a statement that their “apparent goal was to cast doubt on one or more Minnesota election laws that have been in force for over fifty years. Instead, they revealed their ignorance of how those laws actually work — while putting themselves in legal jeopardy.”

Throw the book at them.

They came in to prove how inept Minnesota was at preventing invalid people from voting and got caught.

And one wore a niqab. Is it a man or a woman?

[Nelson voice] Ha ha! [/N v]

I think we have a winner of Trumps $1,000,000 reward for information on election fraud.

I didn’t know O’Keefe was a Democrat!
:winking_face_with_tongue:

So that is what he meant by dumbocrat without a b! It suddenly makes sense.

I kinda am too. I also like Lawrence O’Donnell. Subtle outrage. Katie Phang is good as well. She’s a real tiger going after that weirdo Blanch.

FTR: O’Keefe and Higby are both men, albeit stupid ones. Higby was the one who dressed in the niqab.

I know. I’m just jabbing at the MAGAt obsession with boys in girls’ sports to the point where they are doing genital checks.
