From New Yorker humorist Andy Borowitz, Melania Sends Thoughts and Prayers
PALM BEACH (The Borowitz Report)—As Donald J. Trump became the first former President in U.S. history to be arraigned, his wife, Melania, marked the occasion by sending thoughts and prayers.

According to Mike Lindell, better known as the MyPillow guy, the former President was “surprised” to be on the receiving end of his wife’s thoughts and/or prayers.

“Mr. Trump had not been expecting to receive thoughts and prayers,” Lindell said. “He’s mainly been focussing on donations.”

Although it is not known how many thoughts and how many prayers the former First Lady sent, sources familiar with her thoughts and prayers believe that they are considerably fewer than the number of felony counts in her husband’s indictment.

Speaking to reporters at Mar-a-Lago, Mrs. Trump said that she would have “no comment” on the Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg. “I have a saying,” she said. “‘When they go low, we go high.’”


(Another saying lifted from Michelle Obama, for those across the pond who might not catch the plagiarism reference.)

The absurd support of Trumpism need not go as far as Germany's final solution and Holocaust. But it could. The pendulum of societal norms can get small incremental pushes from victimization and hate politics.
Given enough pushes the pendulum can go so far right that it goes up and all the way around full circle.

Decency and goodness are not automatic safeguards to stop the pendulum from spinning all the way around. Decency is fragile. Goodness and love are an aroma while hate is incendiary. In this time when three major religions are preaching self-reflection, and that God's love is supremely powerful, they are only hopes of faith.
Daily good deeds and condemnation of evil are both required to create change.

Forget Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen — this is who could seal Trump’s fate from RawStory.
Cohen eventually pleaded guilty to campaign finance charges stemming from his involvement in the payments to Daniels and was sentenced to three years in prison.

But he isn’t someone who seems altogether reliable given his past crimes. Trump’s defence team is therefore undoubtedly going to do everything possible to discredit the disbarred ex-lawyer, ex-inmate and convicted perjurer.

Does that mean Trump has nothing to fear? Not exactly. So who should Trump fear, especially given the nature of the charges against him?

The accountants.

Follow the money

A dogged accountant brought down infamous gangster Al Capone in the 1920s and the 1970s-era Watergate scandal was largely uncovered by reporters who heeded advice to “follow the money.”

How might accountants hold the key to Trump’s fate on the charges he’s facing in New York?

Let’s start with a provable notion: The former president has a pattern of not paying his bills. In 2016, USA Today reported that Trump “has been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuits over the past three decades” pertaining to allegations of unpaid bills.

The newspaper documented the people who accused Trump and his businesses of failing to pay them for their work. They included a glass company in New Jersey, a carpet company, 48 waiters, dozens of bartenders and other hourly workers and real estate brokers who’d sold his properties.

As a man of the people, Trump does not deny paying $130,000 in hush money to sex workers. Who hasn't ?? If everybody does it all the time, how can it be a crime? Especially when we are running for office. The whole idea of hush money is to keep it quiet so of course, you cover it up and falsify business records. I bet everyone here would gladly take hush money. It may be a serious crime to pay hush money to prosecutors and judges so they are probably just jealous. HUSH MONEY RECIPIENTS UNITE! we can all use the extra $.

It was slow moving today, and they won't be back in court again until December, with the trial starting in January. But by then Trump will have several other indictments and civil suits to deal with. This month has a Trump court case each week in different jurisdictions.

I just briefly watched some news coverage of Trump on his way back to the airport and then Alvin Bragg's media statement.

One of the ABC (Oz) news reporters said something about Trump making derogatory remarks on social media (maybe) about Mr Bragg's daughter, I think. It was a brief statement in the middle of other commentary so I'm not sure of the details. In the same segment they mentioned the photo which Trump posted of himself holding a baseball bat next to a photo of Mr Bragg .

Listening to Mr Bragg's comments about the nature of the charges, I am beginning to think that this is not just a minor case against Trump. There are some serious charges and as Mr Bragg said, no one is above the law regardless of how much money or power they have. I sincerely hope he is right.

Good analogy, Don. That spot where the tattoo is removed should serve as a warning.

The talking heads consider this indictment to be the lesser charge - the weakest case against Trump. The stolen documents charge is sounding very strong with new revelations about interviews with his staff. Seems he looked through the documents before returning some and his staff brought them to him. Then he lied and said they'll all been returned.

In Georgia - well, it's a good case, but it has a couple of strikes against it. A new state law in which the Republican legislature wants to remove prosecutors who get too close to the GOP, for one. That will present some issues, possibly need a side trip to the Supreme Court.

For those who have watched the "Teflon" effect over his whole life, this is a day of reckoning. No matter how it plays out, it is Karma, Illustrated.

Attila the Stockbroker on FarceBook today - seems very much on-point….

”Tomorrow is a crucial day for the United States of America.

For historians - and I have been a student of the period ever since I first started collecting American Civil War cards at primary school in the mid Sixties - I’d say we’re back at one minute to seven, or 18:59. Just before the Harpers Ferry raid. The fault lines are as vivid now as they were then, and that is terrifying.

I don’t do sensationalism or hyperbole. This is a moment in history. It’s 1859. It’s 1933. There’s no getting away from it.

The actual ‘proper’ Republican Party is backing Donald Trump in this initial, relatively minor indictment (by his standards, not legal ones) despite the fact he has a huge string to follow, starting with his criminal claim that the last election was stolen and his incitement to riot at the Capitol on January 6th.

And Trump has published a composite picture of himself waving a baseball bat next to Manhattan district attourney Alvin Bragg who will be prosecuting the case.

Just think about that.

As someone who has never sought out violence but has stood up to fascist intimidation and thuggery all my life, all I can say is: in the name of Thomas Paine, America, do something about this before it is too late.

Evil will triumph if good men do nothing.”

From Simon Jenkins in today's Guardian:

...Most observers had reached the view that Trump the politician was over the hill. His rallies were tired and his speeches meandering. New Republican hopefuls for 2024 were on the horizon, notably Florida’s Ron DeSantis and former vice-president Mike Pence, both of whom have publicly criticised Trump for refusing to concede the 2020 election. Continued reports of his many misdemeanours would surely lead Republicans to accept his days were over.

Legal analysis of this week’s case against Trump suggests there are serious obstacles in the way of his ending up in prison. A law professor and former prosecutor, Jeffrey Bellin, has pointed out that falsifying accounts can have numerous mitigating factors. Any judge and jury, even in New York, will be aware of the political perils of jailing an ex-president, not least for crimes ostensibly less awful than those for which President Nixon was excused. Were Trump to be on trial for interfering in the Georgia poll or inciting a riotous assault on the Capitol, it might be different. But Republicans find it hard to disagree with Trump’s claim that the New York case is a witch-hunt that amounts to “political persecution and electoral interference”.

Meanwhile, Trump’s team have treated the indictment as the best adrenaline boost a populist could ask for. It has given them a platform, an enemy and a cause...


Unless he's found guilty, and unless the ensuing sentence is outrageously harsh (very unlikely), this will strengthen him. I can also see the risk of charging him with either of the other two offences mentioned, as it could be hard to make 'em stick, but this one seems even riskier to me.

So it's decided
I was...misguided?
They know, they know, they know, they know, they know, they got you, they got you

I'll get a lawyer, and I won't take chances
They're gonna offer me some kind of deal
Just plead exterminating circumstances
Or maybe like Cohen, I will squeal

Right now I'm freakin', leakin'
Right into my trousers
If I tattle, that'll
Lead to both of you
Don't go down that trail
I'm too old for jail

Don't be short-sighted
Then help me fight it
Well, if we have a good excuse, hey, I think they'll buy it
Hey, let's all try it...

I am not a crook
I did not have sexual relations with that woman, the Biden, Soros
Mission accomplished
shit

Something just popped into my head. Those scenes in movies where someone is in a room and suddenly, slowly, inevitably the walls start moving inwards with no escape route, threatening to crush the main character unless s/he can come up with a brilliant strategy to save her/his life.

The hero in Hollywood lives to fight another day, due to the amazing magic of film and scriptwriters. Can an ex-TV star pull off the same stunt in real life?

While the wheels of justice grind slowly, I have seen recent expedited rulings by the court. A gradual strategy has some advantages.

It might not be soon, Donuel. I think the current indictment is the thin edge of the wedge, just a thorn in his side. The really pointy legal issues for him will come after this one.

Right Helen, Trump calls the prosecutor and judge Filthy Mudbloods but soon we can call him number 623586.

Yes, but Trumpty-Dumpty will say anything to anyone to get out of accusations, and then he'll turn around and do the opposite when it suits him.

It might work if there were strong enough legal sanctions to throw at him if he goes back on his promise.

I just watched a news item and there were literally only a few people protesting on his behalf outside Mar-a-Lago. A few thousand less than Trump would have hoped for.

Rachel Maddow tonight talked about how Spiro Agnew (Richard Nixon's corrupt vice-president) was persuaded to step down from office and agree not to run for office again in exchange for the charges against him being set aside or diminished so he didn't have a trial or do time. HINT HINT - they could offer something like that to Trump.

Will Trump return to reality TV in the Apprehendice or comedy like Arrested Developer.

Someone needs to do research into all of the conservative "think tanks" that spawn so many of the really stupid ideas coming out of state legislatures and the US Congress (GOP side of things.) It just gets stupider and stupider out there, and the three yahoos at the top, the Trump appointees to the Supreme Court, make it all possible because people figure they won't overturn this stuff.

Meanwhile, Israel has riots because BeBe wants to take over the judiciary. Trump seems already to have done that. Now we need to riot to get the Supreme Court fixed. Add a couple of more justices or impeach Thomas and disqualify Kavanaugh.

The indictment is still sealed but The Governor of Florida said he would not obey extradition laws.
Republicans want to prosecute law itself, not Trump.

With the eventual number of charges which will most probably follow with more indictments, it will be as stressful for Donald as being drawn and quartered.

God bless his McDonald-addled heart.

Take Me To The Pilot
Song by Elton John

Can you feel that's real, I'm on trial
And now I'm here in your prison
Like a stone in your shoe
I am charged with high treason
Through my syes my throne
Is now a danger zone
Take me to the center for control
Take me to the center of your soul
Take me to the center
Lead me through the chambers
Take me to the center
I am not a stranger
Take me to the center
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the center
I am not a stranger
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Well, I knowt I'm not old
as I'm told, I'm not a stupid virgin
I am smart not dumb.
What I'm told is never, never for certain
Through my eyes, its my throne
Its in the danger zone
Take me to the center for control
Take me to the center of your soul, yeah, yeah
Let me out of prison
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the White House
I am not a stranger
Take me to the White House
Lead me through the gate house
Take me to the White House
I am not a stranger
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
