> [@digs](#): > > If we’re discussing this now, I would hope Biden and Garland and others figured it out many many months ago. Oh, yes. You’ll recall that there was plenty of attention at the time to the fact that Trump had taken the American translator’s notes away from her. No doubt the topic was on the list as soon as Biden took office. But if they didn’t do anything about it then, February 24 of this year must have seemed like an opportune time to revisit the question of what Putin had said to Donald. ---

My prediction is that for the 5,000th time, Trump is making shit up and has absolutely nothing to back up his claims. His parroting propaganda chimps (Hannity, Carlson, any number of radio trolls) will froth at the mouth about the injustice. If it ever gets to court, it will get tossed out as the judge excoriates the plaintiffs for the frivolous and abusive lawsuit. Lawyers get sanctioned. Trump continues bleating about Deep State witch hunts. Sun again sets and rises… ---

He’s claimed the National Archives’ documents and various classified one are his. Snatching ad Woodward’s is a doddle. ---

Trump may have a bit of a point, in that if the primary selling point of the audio book is to hear Trump talking then perhaps Trump deserves some portion of the profits. But that will have to be fought out by copyright lawyers and I doubt that it will allow Trump to completely suppress it. ---

> [@aurora\_maire](#): > > I’m sure his fans are very confused about the wall part of this statement. So he got it done, it made a big difference and set record lows on illegals pouring in. That should have been the end of it, magnificent accomplishment. So how is the border now wide open with hundreds of thousands of illegals pouring in everywhere? Without him as president, did the wall just disappear? They must wonder how this could be. Quite simple, really. The magical wall was thrown up while he was president, then just as magically disappeared when the evil-wizard Democrats stole the election. ---

You’re going to jail.’ And when this person realizes that he is going to be the bride of another prisoner very shortly, he will say, ‘I’d very much like to tell you exactly who that leaker [is]. It was Bill Jones, I swear, he’s the leaker.’ And we got him. But they don’t want to do that.” So … that happened. ---

The prison rape thing is abhorrent, but I’m wondering how a SCOTUS leak rises to the level of “national security”. Plus, I’m in the school the leaker was someone on the conservative side locking in the support and preventing it getting watered down by Roberts, so for a right-wing woman hater the leak was a good thing. ---

> [@Folacin](#): > > but I’m wondering how a SCOTUS leak rises to the level of “national security”. It doesn’t but that’s not the point. The point is that you **say** its national security, that way you can imprison whomever you want without worrying about pesky civil rights. Who stole my strawberries? It’s national security.
