A Republican operative was convicted on Thursday of facilitating an illegal campaign contribution from a Russian national to the Trump campaign in 2016.
The fact that the phrase "Republican operative" even exists makes me shudder.
That Nick Adams account is weird, he’s either a few cucumber slices missing from a sandwich, or he’s using a “character” to drive engagement.
When parody and reality start to blur.

And he's got to hand over his tax returns....

I think the definition of 'Alpha Male' seems to have come to mean 'people who blame their failure on others'.
Alpha as in 'failed to get past point A whilst watching from the side lines as everyone else enjoys exploring the rest of the greek alphabet that life has to offer'
That Nick Adams a/c has to be a parody. Could be the longest of long games by a liberal prankster.
He really is getting hit from all sides.👍

The BBC report his special master thing has gone away under appeal by the authorities so all the material retrieved from mar-a-lago can now be trawled through by them with unfettered access. 👍

Unless of course it gets in the way, in which case they can 'improve' the USA but getting rid.
Trump company found guilty:
Came on here to post that two of his companies are going bankrupt, but can’t find the links now. AP and Reuters according to my GF. Smells like a way of avoiding paying debts though.
Still a complete business legbellend though
Seems a paltry fine, 1.6 mil it was reported last night, especially when they were defrauding in the range of 100's of millions, but then it was pointed out that no banks will want to touch them now, and they're known for constantly borrowing to stay afloat
Yes, I think it's going to be death by a thousand cuts from here on for Trump. Every Democrat D.A. or state level Attorney General will investigate him on anything they can. Even if he escapes conviction, the lawyers fees, time and stress, and constant publicity will take their toll.
But he’s colluding with God so please send $50 per month.
I know he’s meant to have slightly odd hands, but there’s something about the hands on that picture that is emblematic of some sort of demonic possession. Maybe he really is the incarnation of beelzebub after all..
darth - I think you're mixing two different cases.
The fraud you refer to is the Letitia James case about inflating/deflating the value of property assets for borrowing and tax purposes respectively. It implicates trump and his three eldest children directly.
Potential penalties if found guilty could be chunky with the possibility of being barred from doing (new) business in NY.
The tax fraud case which concluded yesterday did not involve trump or his family directly - but there's guilt by association.
To him and his cultists that's "the biggest witch hunt ever". To everyone else it's "why you keep your head down if you're a persistant fraudster". Congrats for making yourself the biggest target in the world, idiot boy

$99 apparently (I can’t even tell what’s real and isn’t anymore, I certainly don’t want this to be real)
WTAF! I just assumed that ^^^ was some Trump fan with an over-active imagination but no, he trumpeted (ha!) that as a major announcement on Truth (sic) Social.
He's completely lost the plot and must be desperate to raise money
Great to see a draft dodger present himself as a man in uniform 🙂
Beautiful,he has gone full Zapp Brannigan.
I hope his lovely family have him a luxury padded room booked.

He's playing the long game. I'm imagining him sitting in court as the accused and dribbling whilst his lawyers plead mental incompetence (see above) to a gullible judge and jury...
TBH, I'm temped by the thought of a parody card collection.
https://twitter.com/3YearLetterman/status/1603478501985726464
Those cards are 99$ EACH and they aren't even real cards, just digital versions you keep on a phone/computer. The site is even showing them all as sold out right now which is so unlikely that you have to imagine some cynical manipulation going on. I'm not sure I understand anything any more, I'm off to find a cave
The site is even showing them all as sold out right now
I'll sell you the one further up this page for $199. Got plenty more too.
My head hurts. The fact this is real. The possibility they're genuinely sold out. I'm aghast.
Can't even the stauchest MAGA feaks keeping a straight face when they are shown those 'collectable' cards! Even Steve Bannon was mocking him.
I used Dall-E to create a new one if anyones interested. I can do it for 89.99
I don't know what happened here, this was supposed to be Batman
Not sure if this will really happen or if its just hype.
It might bring things to a head though, which could go either way. Show he was out to undermine Ametican democracy, or show he's the victim of a system that already has.

The Trumpists have already decided that he's a victim and no amount of evidence will change their minds. What this does is keeps Trump and the insurrection in the news so that normal people are constantly reminded of it. As the recent midterm elections showed, Trump and the MAGA nuttery is a big turnoff to centrist voters, so keeping him in the news hurts his cause rather than helping him.
oops looks like they nicked all the pictures

If your NFT is generated primarily using copyrighted assets, do you even own it?
I'm liking the idea that the whole NFT thing is just a way to launder some foreign cash. It's the only thing that has made any sense with this so far but it's not a huge amount of money so I still don't really get it
He's shitting himself, he knows that sooner or later he's going to be charged and arrested.

January 6th House Committee recommends criminal charges
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/dec/19/trump-criminal-charges-jan-6-panel-capitol-attack
It's great news but sadly the Committee's recommendation is just that - a recommendation. It's like the difference between must and should in the Highway Code.
Also the last paragraph of the linked article:
The committee’s mandate runs out at the end of the year, and in 2023, the Republican House majority is almost certain not to continue its work.
It should be welcomed however as it exposes in detail the criminality of Trump and his supporters, and the frankly staggering hypocrisy of organisations such as the misnamed "Oath Keepers".
It certainly won't enhanced Trump's standing among the more normal thinking population.
Hahahahaha
....Tax returns....
Hahaha hahaha hahaha
If this guy wasn't a hard-core Trumpist, I would have thought it was a pretty good parody.
