The Slobfather is going to lose in a few minutes

[malaise]

He will not get immunity from Jan 6 - take that to the bank

[PJMcK]

1. Is there something happening this afternoon?

TIA

[malaise]

3. Yes

During a court hearing Monday, Judge Amit Mehta pointed out repeatedly that Trump on January 6 asked the crowd to march to the Capitol, but that he didn't speak up for two hours asking people to stop the violence.

In the year since the US Capitol attack, judges remind us what it means to be American
In the year since the US Capitol attack, judges remind us what it means to be American
"The words are hard to walk back," Mehta said. "You have an almost two-hour window where the President does not say, 'Stop, get out of the Capitol. This is not what I wanted you to do.'"

5. This was yesterday; did he lose? Or is the decision still pending?

[malaise]

8. Per CNN the decision will be made shortly n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Your original post was, as is your habit, sorely lacking in context for those of us

... not as cool as you.

Please, sacrifice some coolness and include context in your OPs. Please?

[malaise]

11. Informed and cool are not the same n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Exactly. When I see one of your context free posts, I am neither informed nor cool

I do look for your posts because our sympathies tend to be aligned.

[malaise]

29. I have no problem with criticism

You should have met my mother. You are quite informed but we retirees have way more time to keep up with goings on, particularly since we're mostly at home because of Covid.
I often wrongly assume that we're all in the know about things like the Slobfather and his lawyers bawling about immunity from law suits linked to his failed coup.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Cool. The Slobfather (great coinage of yours) has so many lawsuits, doesn't he. . . . . nt

[malaise]

33. Not mine _ stole it from DUer Thucythucy

last year. This was is the Jan 6 lawsuit

[Greybnk48]

48. I use "Slobfather" all the time! Thanks for passing in on, malaise! n/t

[malaise]

49. It was brilliant

I stole it immediately

[HipChick]

12. Malaise is pretty cool..

If folks need more context, opt to ensure Google is still working in you part of the world

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Oh come on! 6. You simply CANNOT google the original post AND there is no context in it to google

Get real.

Google this:

The Slobfather is going to lose in a few minutes He will not get immunity from Jan 6 - take that to the bank

What you get is 6 (six) results, one of which is the Original Post:

About 6 results (0.77 seconds)

Did you mean: The Slob Father is going to lose in a few minutes He will not get immunity from Jan 6 - take that to the bank
It looks like these results are changing quickly
If this topic is new, it can sometimes take time for results to be added by reliable sources

Please don't post advice that is ridiculous on the face of it.

[malaise]

30. I heard it on CNN and posted my OP

Then I googled Trump immunity and Jan 6 - and the CNN link I posted down thread and several others appeared.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

34. You got about 19,800,000 results, but you knew which one to pick because YOU had context

Without context ... which of the 19,800,000?

[malaise]

36. The top three were all about this case because this one is current n/t

[nolabear]

16. What do you get out of insulting someone?

It’s not necessary in order to get the question answered so it must serve some other purpose.

[Ferrets are Cool]

20. This

[Bernardo de La Paz]

26. I insulted myself. malaise is very cool. I am not.

It is not an insult to state that the posts are context free, or the fact that it happens frequently. Especially when the objective is to increase important context in OPs.

[llashram]

17. please

why try to...oh never mind. Context is everywhere one just looks. Insult get no answers. OP poster is cool and informed. Would not change a thing, ever

[ZonkerHarris]

2. what are you talking about?

[JustAnotherGen]

6. Swallwell, other House Members, Capitol Hill Police Officers

Civil Lawsuit against Trump, Mo Brooks, etc. etc.

[BlackSkimmer]

13. I don't know either.

But I’ll bet nothing is happening to tfg.

[lamp_shade]

7. What time?

[malaise]

9. Not sure

but sometime today

[Tommy Carcetti]

14. "Shortly" can sometimes mean various different things.

So it could be hours, days, or weeks even.

Unless CNN is actually reporting it will come out today.

[malaise]

18. CNN said today and shortly

[Tommy Carcetti]

22. Okay.

Then we shall wait.

[Celerity]

35. when a yardie says 'I soon come' you might be waiting for months

[malaise]

38. Hey you

Did you see Ari quoting Bob a while ago? He was discussing inflation.

[Celerity]

41. yes, and I posted a Bob song here yesterday

https://www.democraticunderground.com/103466822

Bob Marley and the Wailers - Running Away

[malaise]

45. Not in GD

[Celerity]

46. well, yes, that is asking for trouble and a locked OP, lol

The Wailers - Diamond Baby

the Skatalites are the studio band!

1965

[malaise]

39. Hey you

Did you see Ari quoting Bob a while ago? He was discussing inflation.

[Celerity]

47. The Skatalites - Ska Aunthentic (1964)

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10181608234

[malaise]

19. CNN said today and shortly

[llashram]

21. what's with all the insults?

totally unnecessary. This poster is cool and again...informed

[Tommy Carcetti]

23. I wasn't insulting Malaise.

It's just that a lot of us don't have immediate access to CNN during the day and if they just said "shortly" it could mean various different things.

Cable news has a tendency--both consciously and subconsciously--to keep us on edge.

[madinmaryland]

24. I think we can all agree it means "in 24 business hours"...

[erronis]

15. Malaise - I love your posts but please don't just post w/o information

You already have plenty of kicks and love and probably a shitload of valentines.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. +1 on all the points, including love for the poster and their posts. . . . nt

[spanone]

32. ...K&R...

[dumbcat]

40. It's been quite a few minutes

Did he lose yet? I haven't been keeping up.

[malaise]

43. My paternal granny used to say

It's the answer that brings the row
. I pass.

[dumbcat]

44. I'm sorry, I must be really slow today

but I have no idea what you just said.

But, that's OK, I'll probably figure things out eventually.
