He better watch out. He brags about being able to shoot a man on Fifth Avenue and get away with it, but her dad shot a man in the face and that man ended up apologizing for being in the way.

Trump might be in over his head in this one.

Are you asking Dick Cheney to do a Dick Cheney to Mr. Orange Man?

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong though.

Do you have to specifically ask a dick to be a dick? I don’t think so. It just comes naturally.

I can guarantee that Trump has never held a firearm. His fat, tiny hands couldn’t pull a trigger.

(Edit: I was wrong, he had a concealed carry permit, in NYC of all places. Huh.)

Actually, Trump is usually armed & had a concealed carry license In NYC when he lived there.

He was pretty liberal on gun control until someone told him guns might be the only way he gets into power

Trump and his minions keep talking about “evidence”, but based on their many court losses over the years due to a lack of it I don’t think that word means what they think it means.

Dick Cheney: “Hey Donald, I’m headed out bird hunting tomorrow…want to come along?”

Hunting involves walking, which Trump hates.

Just tell him that Xander Cruz Biden is going out into the swamp for a presser, might convince him to do it so he’s not a pathetic, wimpery manchild.

Wonder if Trump’s public deflection could be admissible as consciousness of guilt?

Jan 6 investigations are clearly pushing the right buttons, he’s having a tantrum again.

Not a lawyer, but I really doubt it. As has been used before, his lawyers can argue that he really does believe he’s being treated unfairly, so of course he would speak out. Or the route that it’s protected political speech meant to rile up his base. I mean if January 6th wasn’t stochastic terrorism, it leaves space for this kind of thing.

I don’t like Trump either, but anything legal around speech is pretty difficult. I’m quite shocked the Carroll case actually landed against Trump, but you can see how egregious it had to be. He’s talked about jailing all kinds of political people for all kinds of reasons. If you don’t do something the first time, then it can be used as justification that he’s not doing anything different. Is it a shitty argument? Sure. But in court, it’s effective.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
