Are you kidding?, the local news here in Chicago just

[kacekwl]

broke in with BREAKING NEWS. trump issued a letter to the 1/6 committee. Same old witch hunt and election was stolen lies. Please lock this guy up because that's the only breaking news about him I want to hear.

[Walleye]

1. Just saw the letter on C-SPAN. Even worse than usual.Rigged election all caps

I guess he concluded that he wasn’t going to testify I didn’t follow it that long

[smb]

31. What Is It With The Random Capitalization?

Do they have weird capitalization rules in Russian, and did they assign him a handler only marginally fluent in English?

[FM123]

2. Same lies, different day. He needs to be locked up asap.

Link to his letter if you want to read it:

3. No one can grift like Trump.

Nothing short of a video saying that he knew he lost and he's using his supporters to create a wall between him and the consequences, and saying it 100 times, will convince his supporters.

[FM123]

5. Exactly!

[BonnieJW]

19. Did you notice

He started out using first person plural (the royal we), which should only be used if you are royalty, the pope or someone with a tapeworm.

[smb]

32. Maybe He Was Referring To Himself And All The Sycophants Whose Heads Are Lodged Up His Ass nt

[Trueblue Texan]

20. Always the entertainer...

...doesn't the evil idiot have advisors that will keep him from humiliating himself like this?

[ShazzieB]

34. They TRY to keep him from humiliating himself.

But they fail, because he won't take advice from anyone, convinced as he is that he is ALWAYS right.

[vlyons]

22. I got about 1/2 through the 1st paragraph

and gave up. Same ol', same ol;. Let me save you some grief and bother. Don't read it. It's just non-stop lies, slime, and poison.

The only good thing about it, maybe, is that it's so ugly and nasty that it might very well convince 100% of the committee members to start the process of referring the committee findings to the DOJ for criminal investigation.

Trust me. You don't want to contaminate your peace of mind by reading it.

[ShazzieB]

30. I kind of skimmed and jumped around.

I don't think I could get through the whole thing unless someone was paying me a VERY large amount of money to do so.

Of course, the letter itself is only 4 pages. The 10 page appendix is the really trippy part. It's a laundry list of the supposed "evidence" of election fraud in each of the 5 key swing states. No actual documentation, just a list of claims (this thing happened, that thing happened, and on and on) with nothing to back them up. I presume this is all the same stuff that got thrown out in lawsuit after lawsuit, all of which he lost.

After the laundry list, there's about a page and a half of concluding remarks. I almost busted out laughing when I got to the last page and saw that the first 3 words on the page were (I swear I am not making this up) "Hunter Biden’s laptop."

[smb]

36. There's Also A Bunch Of Pictures From Cheato's Rallies

I guess since he never reads lengthy documents without pictures, he assumes nobody else does either.

[marble falls]

4. In the end, he will go to co-opt or derail it. It would his biggest TV opportunity since Jan 20.

[Lovie777]

6. Confirmation that shithole will not honor the subpoena......

[Septua]

7. "Please lock this guy up..."

Yep, DOJ has to set the precedent of indicting a former President to eradicate the precedent set by a former president.

[SouthernDem4ever]

11. very well said

makes it clear to those who think he is above the law.

[Walleye]

8. He is such a crashing bore!Same shit over and over. No intellectual activity whatever

[ShazzieB]

35. Now, now.

There must be some intellectual activity. After all, we know he has a "very large brain." He has told us so, many times!

[GreenWave]

9. Gag the mofu!

He probably gets off on it anyway.

[piddyprints]

10. My hope:

That every word he spews is used as more evidence to convict this piece of shit and lock him up for life. I sort of thought it was conventional wisdom to keep your mouth shut when you're involved in any kind of legal battle. What would I know?

[Traildogbob]

12. I don't want

To give him a platform to filibuster and spew his BS. He will not face ANY perjury charges, just like every other crime. He would only rant, talk over and claim he owned the radical left sham committee, To roaring cheers from MAGA world.
Besides he will demand all kinds of ridiculous concessions we could never allow, then claim he was not allowed to defend his honor.
He will be on Fox 24/7 refuting all the facts anyway.
Indict, arrest, hold trial, convict and jail. Never gonna happen, but that’s the only solution to return this country to a civil place.

[3catwoman3]

13. Locked up or 6 feet under - either headline...

…would be fine with me.

[AllaN01Bear]

14. this is why i distrust us news . as if hes still prez?

[Farmer-Rick]

15. It's the death by a thousand cuts strategy

TFG is subpoenaed a million times over until he dies from bloviating or a heart attack. No indictments, no real criminal prosecution. Just talk and show. Talk and subpoenas. Talk and negotiating secret documents out of Putin's hands. Talk and show.

It's how kleptocracy works.

[Mr. Ected]

16. He and his followers become more and more emboldened the longer this drags out

And although due process requires that Garland puts together an unbeatable case, when the media reports every denial as if it was an actual court filing, it tends to sway public opinion....and public opinion appears to matter as much or more than due process, apparently.

Not to mention the fact that the DOJ, SS and FBI are littered with rogue agents that could compromise Garland's investigation.

The stench of this is awful. Are we going to let Trump hang us all with the First Amendment?

[Warpy]

17. He'll stop being breaking news when he becomes bad for ratings

Ratings are what these corporate clowns care about. They don't give a shit how they suck you in as long as you're sitting there while they try to sell you shit you don't want.

I moved 4 months ago and I haven't set the TV up yet. The amazing thing is that I haven't missed it, not really. Even cable stations are sucking these days, re runs of network shows that were bad the first time and bible shit creeping into the channels that haven't yet gone to toothless inbreds providing freak shows for the suburban masses.

It's a sick feedback loop now, garbage programming turning viewers off and leading to the search for cheaper garbage programming and shouting "BREAKING NEWS" about something that happens every two or three days with mind numbing regularity is just another cheap trick to get people tuned in for another big batch of adverts.

[Bev54]

18. I think the committee has harmed themselves by issuing subpoenas

and then doing nothing when people have thumbed their noses up at them and it appears nothing was done and no consequences, for those in congress that refused. What does that tell the population? They did not use the powers of subpoena that was given them.

[KS Toronado]

21. The Jan 6th Committee's subpoena should read.......

Dear......we would like to talk to you about how the election was stolen from you which enraged so many
patriotic citizens on Jan 6th. Please bring all your evidence of "Election Fraud" so this committee can
get to the bottom of this national nightmare. PS, leave your 5th at home.

Wonder what his excuse would be not to prove the election was stolen from him?

[thenelm1]

23. And still using the Presidential seal I see. Nitwit. n/t

[Rebl2]

24. Same here!

[lees1975]

25. Why would the news media even report that? They're the ones giving him a platform.

Send him to jail to await trial.

[VGNonly]

26. Who will stroke out first?

Trump or Alex Jones...

[Hortensis]

27. Lol, this was a 14-page rant. If we're tired of it, how about

the deserving schmucks who had to turn his enraged instructions into that?

"The document includes numerous photos meant to demonstrate the crowd size at his Jan. 6 rally,"



Pathetic or not, I get some satisfaction out of knowing he's bouncing off the ceiling.

[PXR-5]

28. Unfortunately

He has not been charged with any crimes.

[onecaliberal]

29. Couldn't come up with an original thought if his life depended on it. Same bullshit his own people

told him were meritless lies. Lock up the dangerous criminal psychopath.

[Evolve Dammit]

33. Between him, daily shootings, 1/6 and covid we all have some form of PTSD right now IMHO

[consider_this]

37. is this letter for real? WTAF

I am just starting to read said letter that is linked from in post #2.

This is insane, just a few egregious bits, and I'm only just starting the read:

- he is addressing the select committee yet refers to them in the letter as the 'Unselect'.

-"Yet somehow Biden beat Obama with the Black population in select Swing State cities, but nowhere else." uhm... racist much? and why compare to Obama election? - this and about a dozen other comments about stats from other elections that he somehow thinks portend that he should've won, even though what they do illustrate is that so many voters were so sick of him and his shit that they came out to vote in record numbers - to DEFEAT him.

uhm - I can't even! - this reads totally insane!! like totally bonkers level 10 mixed with childishly worded tantrum cum bullying rant -and, so I ask again, can this be real? I mean it is such a perfect concentrate of all the worst of him, it has to be satire, right - or is he this nuts?!

[live love laugh]

38. That's why I don't watch that 💩
