Sure, Don

As evidence of his dementia becomes overwhelming, Donald Trump is trying to lower expectations for his upcoming debate with Joe Biden.

He lost their 2020 face-offs, and is now claiming he might "lose the debate on purpose." https://t.co/5zuHGSZrdR

Making plans

Why is Trump endorsing someone for a county supervisor position? Why is he involved at the County level in places like Maricopa County in AZ and Washoe County in NV? Because these are the people who run the elections in large swing state counties and they want to rig it. https://t.co/95eEx6mAkj

Liar

Justice Alito is “lying about many, many things in that statement,” says his neighbor. He has never been asked to make a formal statement, so if he’s lying, it’s free. Same for all justices — no statements ever, free to lie or ignore facts.https://t.co/Mv3rwQDZhJ

GUILTY, MOTHERFUCKERS

Via NBC News:

A New York jury has found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, marking the first time a former U.S. president has ever been convicted of a crime.

The verdict was read in the Manhattan courtroom where Trump has been on trial since April 15. He pleaded not guilty to all 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made by his former lawyer Michael Cohen to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the final weeks of the 2016 presidential election.

The jury reached its verdict after 9.5 hours of deliberations, which began Wednesday.

What is it about this whiny criminal crybaby

That hypnotizes all these people into thinking he’s some kind of alpha male?

Trump, exuding extreme confidence in the jury a short while ago:

“These charges are rigged. The whole thing is rigged. The whole country’s a mess between the borders and fake elections. And we have a trial like this where the judge is so conflicted he can’t breathe. He’s got…

Trump supporters are now CRYING as they pray for him outside of the courtroom during jury deliberations. It’s a cult. These people absolutely need to seek help. This is insane. pic.twitter.com/BcNptfTG01

My favorite line is:

😳 Like Alito, an Appeal to Heaven flag flew outside Federalist Society co-chair Leonard Leo’s home. Leo has close ties to all 6 right wing SCOTUS justices. He attended a fishing trip w/ Alito & a billionaire, & his network funds at least 40 groups in Project 2025’s coalition. 1/ https://t.co/u6cMWJuUWE
