Conservative 'meritocracy' is a joke. They all have owners who buy their votes.

@petestrzok
just want to note that there is a picture of Susie Wiles in Trump's Bedminster office posted 2 days before the Mar-a-Lago search. On Trump's desk many documents which were redacted by Bikers for Trump founder Chris Cox before posting.

🔥🔥🔥 August 6, 2022, two days before the Mar-a-Lago search, Chris Cox of Bikers for Trump posted a picture of himself as he was visiting Trump in his Bedminster office.
On Trump's desk, a shitload of documents which Cox felt he needed to redact. Why?!!
🚨 SEARCH BEDMINSTER 🚨

Trump's Illegitimate SCOTUS
Rich white people are the most oppressed people on the planet.
Rich white people get blamed for everything -- global warming, stolen elections, unfair taxation, everything.
Today SCOTUS began rectifying these horrifying injustices.
No longer will rich white people have to sit silently on the sidelines while lesser humans claim a right to exist.
Rich white people are the REAL despised minority. But SCOTUS, in their infinite humanity and love of fairness, has dedicated itself to realigning the game board to give rich white people a more-than-fair chance.
God bless America!

One is not like the other
Whether it's Joe Biden telling his son that he loves him or Donald Trump fantasizing about sleeping with his daughter, presidents on both sides have transgressed many family boundaries.

The Navy SEALS did the search of Bedminster! Plot thickens!
The Navy SEALS did the search of Bedminster!
Plot thickens!
[And I think the confidence that Parlatore avoided trouble is wildly optimistic here.]
Unlikely — ex Trump lawyer Tim Parlatore hired the search team, which was mainly ex Naval Special Warfare operators and they submitted a report to Howell and testified to GJ about the search, surveillance footage of which was played to GJ, per sources familiar @guardian twitter.com/aweissmann_/st…

Donald Trump took out full-page ads in the paper, calling for this man to be killed.
Now he's about to be a member of the New York City Council.https://twitter.com/NoahShachtman/status/1673889963841146882?s=20
IN AUGUST OF 1990, Yusef Salaam, then 15 years old, told the judge at his sentencing hearing that he looked at “this legal lynching as a test by my God Allah.” On Tuesday, nearly 23 years later, Salaam — an exonerated man, poet, author, and activist — is poised to win the New York City Council primary in his home district of Harlem.
Salaam was one of five teenagers in the “Central Park 5,” a group of teens wrongfully convicted for the rape and assault of a jogger in New York City’s Central Park in 1989. He served seven years in juvenile detention before his conviction was overturned in 2002.
On Tuesday night, Salaam was set to win the democratic vote by over 50 percent in a district unlikely to elect a Republican in November’s general election.

..............
What is going to happen is that Trump will cause enough of a delay to push this into the primary season, and once that primary season trial happens, he will wail about how the trial interferes with his right to be elected President on false claims again, so he can steal more classified documents.
And his trusty valet, Walt Nauta, has just bought 23 days of delay for his arraignment to help ensure that happens. He’s moving the boxes again to help his boss obstruct justice.

TRUMP'S VALET AND ALLEGED CO-CONSPIRATOR BUYS THE BOSS A THREE-WEEK DELAY IN HIS TRIAL
The rain had nothing to do with today’s delay. Nauta’s failure, thus far, to retain a Florida attorney was the only reason for the delay.
And there’s certainly reason to wonder whether that delay is intentional. Marc Caputo’s report on Nauta’s search for a Florida lawyer quotes someone “familiar with the discussions” stating that the trial won’t happen before the election, so (or perhaps, “because”) “there’s no rush to” find a lawyer.
The pace of hiring an attorney for Nauta has been slow — as has been the speed with which Trump is beefing up his own criminal defense team. Nauta continues to work for Trump’s organization and Trump’s political committee is financing his employee’s legal representation.
“If you ask three different people in Trump world what’s going on, you’ll get five different answers,” said the source familiar with discussions. “But the reality is there’s no rush to do this. This seems to be their posture: ‘The case is probably going to happen after the election anyway [on Nov. 5, 2024]. So what’s the rush?’”
Speaking to the Messenger before Tuesday’s arraignment hearing got delayed, the source said Nauta would likely have a lawyer within the coming weeks.
