I said there was a chance Trump might get lucky with the bond. So be it. This ruling isn’t going to save him from his overall downfall. For that matter he still might not be able to come up with the bond. He’s broke, senile, and his first criminal trial is in 3 weeks. He’s toast.
This is not “optimism.”
In spite of what some of you think, it’s not my job or my intent to “give you hope.”
I’m just trying to call it like it is.
Today was a rare win for Trump, but only an incremental one.
He’s still on a sharply downward trajectory overall. That’s a fact.
But today’s ruling is an excuse for the outrage addicts and panic addicts on our side to spend all day angrily ranting, while pretending that ranting is activism.
And it’s an excuse for the media and pundit class to milk these folks’ outrage addiction for ratings.
Trump spends his entire speech sounding senile, giving us soundbites we can use to convince persuadable voters that he has dementia. Yet all we can talk about is "oh no, he said the word bloodbath, there'll be a civil war, we're doomed!" We're only helping Trump with this talk.
The entire reason Trump's handlers have him up there using words like "bloodbath" is to distract everyone from his senility. And it's working. Because we always tepidly and gullibly take the bait whenever Trump suggests he's magically able to overthrow the government.
Do we let Trump's use of the word "bloodbath" go unchallenged? Of course not. But to cower over it? Absurd. And it's not among the five most important things Trump said yesterday.
The "intel briefings" that Trump would get as the nominee would be pedestrian info. Nothing like what a President would get. It wouldn't be anything he could sell or use to his advantage. This is all an imaginary doomsday scenario being hyped for ratings. Stop fretting over it.
Besides, Trump got actual presidential intel briefings every day for four years. And then he stole a bunch of top secret classified information and read it in the bathroom.
There's nothing in his "nominee briefings" that would play on the level of the secrets he already knows.
No, Biden shouldn't "deny Trump the briefings." That would take a non-issue and turn it into a scandal that Trump could then use to his political advantage.
Twitter always wants the good guys to make a self defeating overreaction.
You have to understand, this special counsel clown put that line in there about Biden's memory specifically to bait gullible suckers like you into defending Biden's memory, which keeps Biden's memory in the headlines. If you'd all just shut up about it, the story will go away.
Trump says something completely senile every five minutes. There's no possible way that a one-time mention of Biden's memory in a report is going to get any sustained attention, as long as Trump is out there saying senile things every day like this.
The only way the "Biden memory" story will still be alive in the mainstream media by next week is if you're still talking about, which is what tells the media to keep talking about it. Just stop talking about it, and it will go away. That's not always the case, but it is here.
Remember, while Judge Engoron said he was aiming for today for the verdict in the Trump fraud case, he’s not required to announce it today. Nor is he required to give us updates on his expected timeframe. But his verdict will come very soon, and it’ll be devastating for Trump.
While Engoron can assign any dollar amount he wants, it’s not as simple as writing down a number. He and his team have to ensure that every dollar in penalties is specifically supported by the law in rock solid fashion, so that Trump can’t overturn it by appealing.
While the judge already summarily ruled against Trump on the main allegation of fraud, there are also other factual matters that he still has to rule on. That takes time too.
The more obvious it becomes that Trump is finished (senility, prison), the more his handlers try to cover for it by leaking scary things about what he’ll do when he’s magically in charge again. Their goal is to paralyze you with panic and fear. Don’t take the bait.
Trump and his people want the messaging to be that he’s more dangerously powerful than ever. So your messaging about him should, obviously, be the opposite.
Trump wants you out there talking about how powerful he is. So you should be out there talking about how weak he is, how broken he is, how senile he is, how he’s nothing more than a helpless criminal defendant awaiting trial.
