Very damning….

THIS WEEK’S MOST IMPORTANT NEWS is barely making headlines: On Tuesday, it was revealed that a federal judge found over a year ago that there is sufficient evidence, if believed by a jury, to find that Donald J. Trump committed numerous federal crimes in connection with his alleged theft of classified documents and obstruction of the FBI’s attempts to get them back.

Meanwhile, a second federal judge is dragging her feet getting that case past “Go,” let alone ready for trial before the November election.

The second judge is Aileen Cannon, who on Wednesday held hearings on two of the many motions sitting on her docket in Florida. The indictment originally came down nearly a year ago, on June 8, 2023, and trial was supposed to start this week, on May 20, 2024, but Cannon has—indefensibly—delayed it indefinitely. This week’s hearings dealt with Trump’s rather silly “Motion to Dismiss the Indictment Based on Selective and Vindictive Prosecution,” which Cannon tabled, again, for now. She also considered co-defendant Waltine Nauta’s motion to dismiss the charges against him on the theory that the government did not specifically allege that Nauta—who was caught on camera moving boxes out of a Mar-a-Lago storage room to Trump’s personal quarters in the days following Trump’s receipt of a federal subpoena—actually “knew that there were classified documents on premises.” The first motion is classic Trumpian bravado, and the second raises a factual question for the jury. Both motions should fail, but that’s not the point. The point for Trump and his co-defendants is to file whatever lawyers can dream up, even if it’s legally garbage, in order to give Cannon more reason to delay the trial further in the hopes that, if Trump wins (or steals) the election in November, he’ll call off the whole prosecution.

This is the original post Eric Trump was retweeting. What a complete middle finger to families of fallen soldiers. How the red hats can’t see it, I’ll never truly understand.

Private Spurheels and his sons who haven't worked a single day of their entitled lives. Throw in the Russian Spy third wife. 
 

What exactly have they sacrificed? Nobody asked them for anything. It's been 8 years of revenge against a silly Obama joke

To post that, especially for Memorial Day weekend, is particularly disgusting.

And incredibly ignorant.

And totally not surprising.

Devil’s Advocate might argue it’s not ignorant, but very savvy in understanding who their target audience is and what they want to hear.

2/10/1967 SP-4 Thomas Manning,from Chesterton IN,  21 years old, was killed when the fuel truck he was driving was involved in a “traffic accident”. In Viet Nam .He was 21 and pulling extra duty. He was my first cousin.

Donald Trump received 5 deferments because of “bone spurs”. How many boys died because of his cowardice?

His sons have never held real jobs in their lives .

Am I bitter, hell yes.

They never gave up anything in their whole pathetic lives.  All they do is take.

Yes, this is just how a lot of his supporters feel. And that makes the whole thing even more disgusting.

There's a whole litany of reasons to despise Donald Trump, but his continued ****ing on veterans and fallen soldiers remains high on the list in my book.

Late last year, John Kelly went on record to confirm that he did, in fact, call fallen soldiers of WWI "suckers and losers"... and yet, there's a whole ecosystem that exists to pretend that everyone is just lying and conspiring and whatnot.

Gaslighting is overused as a phrase, but this is exactly what it is.

Beyond gaslighting, it’s reality manipulation

The ironic thing is that gaslighting has lost its bite precisely because it’s overused, and it’s overused precisely because the Trumpublians engage in a whole firehose of it, so the tsunami of gaslighting becomes the exact reason the term “gaslighting” means practically nothing anymore.

The Russians figured this **** out centuries ago. We’re just learning it over here.
