Trump just said he had "an absolute right" to take any records he wanted. "It's the law."
Calls the boxes photos "staged."
He's going on and on. Almost every sentence includes a lie of some kind. "I don't think I'm above the law. I'm the one who followed the law. I'm the only one."

I don't want to beat a dead horse here but if you go to rondesantis.com not only do you get only this one badly designed page asking for donations, but the ticker that goes along the bottom claiming X just gave Y is bullshit: it repeats if you reload. Try it yourself. So you've got incompetence and a strong whiff of fraud. A +

What is this nonsense? I’m getting tons of replies like this from people who don’t follow me. What’s the scam? Image There’s one replying to this. I’m mystified.

You know you’re in a good antique/junk shop when they don’t just have bins of LPs but also stacks of piano rolls. ImageImageImage Wouldn’t it be cool to hook up this desktop juke box from some long gone diner to Spotify? Image

Does anyone know what he’s talking about? You don’t fire a jubilee. I mean, Chekhov wrote a one-act farce sometimes called Jubilee, but I don’t think it has any bearing on this. He’s probably making a reference to Chekhov’s gun, but even that is inapt here.

Two full weeks after boxes of classified documents were seized from Mar a Lago, Trump is asking for a special master be appointed to determine if any were covered by executive privilege. (Fox News types started mentioning this gambit on air recently.) The filing is, natch, rather an unprofessional mess.

Rudy says he can’t go to his depo in Georgia because his doctor says he can’t travel.
DA shows tweet of Rudy cavorting in NH.
Rudy said he meant he can’t do *air travel.*
DA: what about these recent tickets to Rome? The DA says Rudy bought plane tickets to Rome and Zurich with cash. Seriously now, who buys airline tickets with cash? That is so sus.

45 to John Kelly: “You fucking generals, why can’t you be like the German generals?…The German generals in World War II.”
“You do know that they tried to kill Hitler three times and almost pulled it off?” Kelly asked.
He didn’t know.
“No, no, no, they were totally loyal to him.” From here. (I see people quoting the first part, but not the second.) newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…

I saw the most amazing 1930s-era murals today in a little-known Croatian Catholic Church in suburban Pittsburgh. Unmissable if you are already in Steel City, worth a trip here just to see them. Let me show you: The murals were painted between 1937 and 1941 by Maxo Vanka, a Croatian artist who married the Jewish daughter of a NYC surgeon and fled Europe ahead of the Nazis. Radical more than religious, he was commissioned by an immigrant priest from his homeland to paint the walls of …

One night concert of Anyone Can Whistle at Carnegie Hall. You can see why it flopped - how high was Laurents writing that terrible book? - but god Sondheim’s songs were ravishing. I heard people still humming ten blocks away. I couldn’t even get through the Wikipedia plot summary tbh

This is a real ad. Can we agree to tell foreigners it’s an SNL bit? “I’m Brian Kemp and LIVE FROM NEW YORK….”

Trump endorsed Wright, put money behind her. A small race, yes, but anything that punctures his image as all-powerful kingmaker is welcome. Also apparently he really hates endorsing losers 😀

Rudy on ABC radio going on and on about Hunter Biden as he did on Fox.

“You cannot break into a lawyer’s office.”
Again, the fate of Trump’s previous attorney seems to have entirely slipped his mind. Now he’s accusing President Biden of taking bribes, “big ones.” Rita Cosby egging him on.

“His face was in your windshield, Jason.”
That South Dakota Attorney General who claimed he thought he hit a deer when he actually ran over a guy? Turns out the victim’s glasses landed inside his car.
argusleader.com/story/news/202… Also he seems to have been lying about being on his phone at the time of the crash. Image

More significant felony charges coming tied to sedition and conspiracy.
Charges range from trespass to theft of mail to assault to theft of national security information to felony murder. 2

The tape of the full hour is up now. #TrumpTapes washingtonpost.com/video/politics… Listening: he goes through a laundry list of conspiracy theories about ballot stuffing and forgeries and so on - no acknowledgement that none of this has been presented in court over the last two months.
