gawd this is so satisfying.

[barbtries]

working and watching the Meidas Touch live screen on youtube. I watched about 9 minutes of MSNBC and then they kicked me off.

back when he was the worst president in the history of the USA, i was active on twitter and often when he tweeted some fascist hateful bullshit, denying the crimes he had clearly committed, I'd tweet back at him, "Just because you've always gotten away with it does not mean you always will."

he didn't believe that. at times I didn't believe that and it grieved me something fierce.

motherfucker. it's happening.

[Docreed2003]

1. He went in happy...came out PISSED!! So satisfying

And what's up with his hair color?? Looks so fake on the cameras

[barbtries]

3. my guesses:

1. he got the charges read to him and they are serious as a heart attack
2. Judge warned him against inciting violence, attacking the DA/Judge, etc and possibly even suggested that he would be subject to contempt and/or a gag order
3. there's no adoring crowd of cultists outside

sorry! that's nothing to do with his hair but how clearly unhappy he's looking on the way out.

[Docreed2003]

8. Wife and I are watching the proceedings while at lunch

I agree completely with your take. Could be any or all
of the above!

[3catwoman3]

23. His hair color usually looks like cotton candy spun...

…out of pee.

[Docreed2003]

30. It looked especially pee yellow fluorescent from behind today

[Scottie Mom]

2. Light a day of light and sunshine...

...after a storm. Shit storm in the case of tifg.

[Scrivener7]

4. It really is!!!

[barbtries]

9. can you believe it?

i'm so happy. The law does matter!

[Scrivener7]

11. And it's ALL FELONIES!!! 34 OF THEM!!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!!!

[barbtries]

14. amazing.

looking forward to reading them and hearing his actual exposure: 25 years? 50 years?

i don't expect him to do time on these charges though but there should definitely be more coming down the pike

[wryter2000]

5. My guess is this is only going to get better

Pence and Meadows testifying in J6. Obvious criminal charges related to the documents he stole. Georgia.

I don't know if we can get J6 to stick, but the others are obvious. Plus, these days Truth Social is dying and costing him mega-bucks.

[barbtries]

12. that is my hope.

i won't give the cynical naysayer inside me a platform today. suffice to say she whispers in my ear.

his base is shrinking big time. no one loves a loser right?

[wryter2000]

15. And no one is going to war for him again

First, many of the leaders are in jail. Second, he let them rot there. No one is going to stick their neck out for him on a large scale. J6 was his glory day, and it's over.

[barbtries]

16. i bet he reruns the videos from that day

over and over while he's eating his KFC. i honestly think that for him it was the best day of his life. fuck that people got killed, and that it failed. all those people, there for him, willing to kill, die, or go to prison. and they did all that.

[wryter2000]

26. The same way Bin Laden watched the towers fall over and over n/t

n/t

[louis-t]

24. He's trying to sell the social media thing but

I hear it's not going so well.

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Yeah, When The Value....

...drops $700 million and sliding, you could say it's "not going well".

[ananda]

6. Fuck yeah!

!!!

[lindysalsagal]

7. Finally. Finally. Finally.

Democracy. Sanity. Justice.

[electric_blue68]

10. Yes! Some Consequences after decades!!!!!

😄😄😄😄😄

[nolabear]

13. His worst fears coming true.

He’s not special. He’s not above the law. His thugs can’t help him. He’s just a guy in front of a powerful judge. Arrested.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

17. Where's Melanie? Not standing by her man. nt

[barbtries]

18. she must have better things to do.

maybe she's enjoying this too.

[erronis]

19. I hear that she may be in Ottawa.

[niyad]

21. She may well be standing by her man. It just doesn't happen to be the orange

TRAITOR**.

[barbtries]

22. lol nt

[hunter]

28. Excellent!

[forgotmylogin]

25. Melania did not travel with them.

I read that of course she's lending her support verbally, but chose to spend the time in a country club. The article I read specified "country club" so I assume not MAL? I wouldn't blame her for wanting to get out of town and her usual digs away from all this.

https://slate.com/human-interest/2023/03/trump-indictment-melania-reaction-arraignment.html

Meanwhile, the world hasn’t heard a peep from Trump’s inscrutable wife, Melania. She accompanied her husband to dinner at Mar-a-Lago Thursday night, but as usual, she was seen and not heard. Since Trump’s indictment involved the ex-president’s alleged attempt to cover up an affair with a porn star, it definitely falls under the bucket of things a wife might conceivably care about. But no, she hasn’t said a word or shared anything on social media.

This has led to a lot of idle chatter about how Melania may have taken the news. Jimmy Kimmel imagined her smiling for the first time in years. At least one person used A.I. to generate an image of the former first lady screaming at her husband’s arrest. Social media users have already moved on to who Melania should date after her inevitable divorce: Pete Davidson is the clear favorite.

It’s all speculation, of course. This is hardly the first time many of us have struggled mightily to understand the enigma that is Melania. During the Trump administration, it sometimes felt like we were all tourists at Buckingham Palace, waving our hands manically at the royal guards, desperately searching for even the tiniest flinch of a reaction. But Melania, ever impenetrable, always stared straight ahead—and stood by her man. In public, I would expect to see much of the same this time around. But in private, at least, reports have implied that it’s a different story.

[....]

The Daily Mail reported, however, that Melania does not currently plan to be present at her husband’s arraignment, denying us all the pleasure of seeing what outfit she would have deemed arraignment-appropriate. All for the best—more time for Melania to work on her NFT collection.

32. That snake-eyed gold digger is too stupid to be enigmatic

You have to have some there "there" to be enigmatic, and she doesn't have anything of substance to her. She's an empty-headed, money-grubbing living blowup doll, who probably hasn't thought about anything but clothes, jewelry, money, and Pilates for most of her adult life.

She has demonstrated zero interest in anything intellectual. Not even a favorite song, never mind a painting. I bet she hasn't read a book since middle school, or whatever the equivalent was in that former SSR she came from.

Enigmatic, my foot.

[iluvtennis]

20. Yes, very happy that he's finally being held accountable. n/t

[James48]

27. Each Count is a separate felony.

Technically, if found guilty, the Judge would have to decide a sentence.

Would it not be sweet if he had to serve 4 years EACH on 34 counts consecutively? (That would make it 126 years behind state bars).


One can dream…..

[ecstatic]

29. Right??!!?? I'm trying to stop smiling. I definitely don't need more smile lines

There's only one thing that could "trump" this moment for me.

[pwb]

33. I have Midastouch on too.

Almost all day.
