I saw a longer edit of that clip and he got worse as he went and fell apart as he finished. Total BS
I think we will be in for some very unhinged performances from tRump as the legal issues consolidate. My guess it will be epic in how transparently pathetic he will become as his lies are melting away….. talk about the emperor having no clothes!!!

For ****s and giggles I just took a look at the Fox News website. There is absolutely no mention of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in Atlanta rejecting U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon's ruling that the classified documents seized from Trump at Mar-a-Lago be reviewed by a special master to see if they should be shielded from investigators because of executive or attorney-client privilege. NO MENTION AT ALL. They are determined to keep the GQP sheeple ignorant.
"They have a lot of stupid people that vote in their primaries. They really do. I'm not really supposed to say that but it's an obvious fact. But when stupid people vote, you know who they nominate? Other stupid people." -- James Carville on the plethora of low-quality GQP candidates in the mid-term election.
judges robin rosenbaum, britt grant and andrew brasher - two trump appointees and one obama appointee rule unanimously. . ."For our part, we cannot discern why [Trump] would have an individual interest in or need for any of the one-hundred documents with classification markings," Judges Robin Rosenbaum, Britt Grant and Andrew Brasher said. "Classified documents are marked to show they are classified, for instance, with their classification level."
The former president, the judges continued, "has not even attempted to show that he has a need to know the information contained in the classified documents." The judges also said there is no evidence in the record before them that the roughly 100 documents at issue were declassified.
Simpler is better, except when complicated looks really cool.

I caught Trump's interview last night by Shawn Hannity. As with all partisan interviews he threw only softballs. It really brings back trauma echoes for me to hear Trump speak. Even if he is saying something with which I agree he says it so poorly that I can't stand to listen. I had to turn it off before the interview was over.

Yes, indeed. And absolutely no evidence that there is any regret in that. And that's what's wrong with this country right now.
There's a lot of things they didn't tell me when I signed on with this outfit....
As Biden is being sworn in, hand on Bible, he's thinking, all that stuff is classified.
One of Dostoyevsky's favorite words, often used ironically, was "fact" (fakt, a harsh-sounding foreign loan word in the Russian language) . . .

NY AG Tish James also sent criminal referrals to the DOJ and the IRS. That could be interesting.
I am gratified to see trmp and his family get their just desserts for their criminal careers, and it's proper for the DoJ to prosecute trmp for the classified documents business, but I think it's most important for the DoJ and the House committee on the Jan sixth insurrection to name trmp's efforts in inciting the capitol insurrection and call it a coup attempt, and to prosecute him appropriately for that. It's the one worst thing of which he's guilty and for which he needs to be tried and punished. Assuming no miscarriage of justice and he's actually found guilty, of which I have little doubt.
Just like the ongoing trials, state and federal, for the George Floyd murderers, trmp deserves and we need him to get, a trial, conviction and punishment for all of the stuff he's done, every count of every felony. It's not possible to villify that miserable git too much. He got away with all of it for so long, we all need, for our own sanity and the well-being of the country, for real justice to be done. At the very least so we can eventually stop having to listen to the trope that no one is above the law, not even the president.*
Lost in all this, it seems, is the bottom line: Regardless of whether trump declassified these records, or not - the bottom line is - he broke the law when he removed records from the WH. Period. Full stop. He had no right, to any of it.

Nice try at deflection!
President Biden has done exceptionally well, given the obstruction from the Republicans, actively undermining the country.
A stump would've been far superior to trump.

Yeah. Despite the brazen attempt, boatbum has absolutely no basis for his claims. Pathetic. And... what's wrong with this country.

Which should really embarrass you. Even in your proposed adled-state, President Biden is STILL light-years better than TFG you voted for - twice!
What's that say about you?
(rhetorical - we all know what it says about you)

The real Botebum would be shocked! Have you never heard trump** speak, Boatbum? He’s never uttered a complete sentence in his life. And talk about adult diapers, they all say the right just accuses everyone else of what they themselves are doing but I’ve never seen such a blatant example.
Boatbum's hero putting sentences together...
