as I’m writing this, Little Donny Fuckface and his ace team of parking garage lawyers are in a DC courtroom.

they are there to literally argue that presidents are above the law and therefore all the crimes that Donny did while presidenting aren’t really crimes and besides, Judge Chutkan sucks and she hates Donny and so this whole trial thing is bullshit and can Donny please be excused to just fly back down to his ramshackle Florida golf motel and crash more dipshit weddings? your honor, I rest my case.

no, seriously.

this argument is too stupid for words. no serious person believes that the framers of the Constitution intended for presidents to be as unaccountable as kings. we fought a whole fucking war about it, remember?

and yet, here we are.

This is a serious rant: Tiedrich lays out how Chump is gaming the system, because he has the money and lawyers to do it. So far it's working because the delays are all he needs. Delaying is the purpose of all of this.

How many judges are going to let him get away with his delays? That's the question. If judges are honorable, they won't.

It's a great rant and worth our time to read.

1. Yupper, nice post,

Trump understands that he won't win his appeals, that would be a huge cherry on top.

Of course the Appeals court isn't going to allow a president to direct Seal Team 6 to kill his opponent. Anyone who believes that any judge or justice is going to grant a president the divine right of kings is delusional.

What matters in this Appeals court decision is how it treats the stay imposed by Chutkan. The Appeals court can give Trump a week or 2 to appeal to the Supreme Court after which the stay is removed. How the stay is handled will be the huge news.

Time Matters.

3. There should have been zero delay in appointing Special Counsel.

That’s why we’re here now.

6. Jack Smith was appointed immediately after the 2022 midterm elections

I guess that went according to Joe Biden's plan? I don't know.

7. Biden had nothing to do with it. This is DOJ.

4. An average American could not afford the costs to drag out a case like this

Just more proof our so-called justice system is skewed towards favoring the rich

5. "...no serious person believes..."

"...that the framers of the Constitution intended for presidents to be as unaccountable as kings. we fought a whole fucking war about it, remember?"

Actually, the point of the Revolution was that Americans were taxed even though they lacked representation in Parliament. That, and several other grievances about citizens' lack of civil rights. It wasn't because of a lack of accountability on King George's part.

That said, it was determined that even kings had to face accountability for crimes with the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215!
