Trump Goes On Manic Posting Bender After Indictment -- Including 3 AM Hunter Biden Shoutout

[Mr. Sparkle]

Former President Donald Trump went on a manic posting bender following his indictment that extended into the wee hours of the morning with an all-caps reference to Hunter Biden. The media went into overdrive when News broke on Thursday afternoon that Trump has been indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s grand jury investigating the circumstances around hush money payments to Stormy Daniels. But so did Trump, who reacted in short order with a lengthy statement lashing out in familiar language about persecution and attacking Bragg, as well as President Joe Biden.

“The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable,” Trump wrote, and concluded his 319-word screed by promising “our Movement, and our Party – united and strong -will first defeat Alvin Bragg, and then we will defeat Joe Biden, and we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump then spent all night and all Friday morning putting out a blizzard of posts on his Truth Social account that even included a post at 2:46 AM that included a 2-word reference to the president’s son: “WHERE’S HUNTER?”

Most of Trump’s activity consisted of re-posting messages from prominent supporters and video clips from his favorite cable news networks, an onslaught that continues minute by minute Friday morning. According to CNN Law Enforcement analyst John Miller Trump has been criminally indicted on a whopping 34 counts, and CNN also reports that “the Secret Service is preparing to bring the former president to his court appearance on Tuesday in Manhattan,” where he will be booked, fingerprinted, photographed, and arraigned. “For the Secret Service, they believe this is going to be a quick thing. This is going to be probably ten, 15 minutes before this judge in Manhattan. And they can get him in and then they can get him out securely,” CNN’s Evan Perez reported.

1. Music

To my ears.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

17. Yes. Others hear impotent Twitter rage, I hear sweet sounds of justice...matter of sonic ability!

[Xipe Totec]

54. I'm so indicted, and I just can't hide it,

I'm about to lose in court, don't think I like it.

Apologies to The Pointer Sisters

[orangecrush]

55. ...

[milestogo]

2. Its possible that the stress from being indicted

could lead to some health crises.

[Rver]

3. I was thinking

the same thing. Living on diet soda, cheeseburgers and adderall....something's got to give out.

[Marius25]

11. One can hope. At the same time, evil people tend to live forever

[MayReasonRule]

18. ... and fen-phen (Fenfluramine/phentermine)

Known for cardiovascular adverse effects including palpitations, mild tachycardia and elevated blood pressure.

Cardiovascular contraindications for the use of phentermine are a history of coronary artery disease, stroke, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure and uncontrolled hypertension.

He's definitely got a plethora of self-placed buckets strewn all through his path.

[DENVERPOPS]

28. For the past 6+ years

all I can think of, when he goes off on these night time tyrades is he's Aderall bingeing..........
That would certainly explain all his countless trips to Florida..........maybe his supplier didn't dare visit the White House Repeatedly.....

[claudette]

6. Maybe a

full blown nervous breakdown? Sounds like it. His lawyers should close his social media account until this is over

[Ocelot II]

4. No surprise; he's decompensating again.

It will be interesting to see whether he goes off the rails enough for the judge to hit him with a gag order - which he will violate almost instantly.

[ShazzieB]

37. I SO hope he gets hit with a gag order.

He's bound to violate it, and watching the fallout from that should be good for some laughs.

[Martin Eden]

5. Cornered Rat screaming in RAGE and FEAR

When will the Republican Party abandon this sinking ship?

As much as I loathe Donald Trump and want to see him fail miserably, part of me wants him to win the Republican nomination so I can watch him drag that entire corrupted dissemblage down with him.

I don't think he has a chance in Hell of winning the general election, and thise motivated to vote against him will bolster our downticket races as well.

[machoneman]

8. Please, don't stroke out, at least yet. We want to see him in prison for say 5-10 years first. And..

bunking with one of those big, beefy Proud Boys who are also in jail thanks to him. LOL to the max!

[Martin Eden]

9. I have a polite request to make

Please don't use the term "stroke out" in that fashion.

Some of us older DUers are at serious risk of suffering an actual stroke. Personally I'm in fairly good health at 65, but my next door neighor whom I've known for 32 years died of a massive stroke two weeks ago.

Back to politics, the highest priorities are to win the 2024 elections (Presidency, Senate, House, as many state governments as possible) and to save our democracy and rule of law which are under severe threat by a Republican Party and its bloated leader who are moving towards full-on fascism.

Part of me wants Trump to win his party's nomination because I think that would help Democrats win the 2024 elections.

The other part of me wants Donald Trump held accountable for his crimes in full accordance with the highest standards of our justice system.

It just may be possible, depending on timing and how things work out, for both parts of what I want to come true.

[Septua]

16. I choose Door #2

1) Part of me wants Trump to win his party's nomination because I think that would help Democrats win the 2024 elections.

2) The other part of me wants Donald Trump held accountable for his crimes in full accordance with the highest standards of our justice system.

[Martin Eden]

19. Please clarify:

Are you saying it's more important to see Trump punished than for Dems to win elections, or is your response more focused solely on Trump?

The thing is, if a Rethug wins the White House, Trump will be pardoned for ALL his crimes.

[dclarston13]

20. A republican would need to be Gov of NY to pardon him

So far these are state level crimes he is being "indicated" for. I don't think any president can help him.

[Martin Eden]

26. Trump won't face any federal charges for other crimes?

Apparently your focus is on the current indictment only.

[dclarston13]

30. It seems like he will face federal charges

But the NY charges / convictions if they are had, will not go away because of a federal pardon.
Martin Eden is one of my favorite books btw.

[Martin Eden]

36. You are quite correct about the state charges

My real first name is Martin. In fact, Jack London's novel was a major factor for my parents in selecting that first name for me.

They were lefties of the WW2 generation.

[dclarston13]

43. Have you read the book?

I spent a good part of my life as a merchant mariner and sailor/fisherman. Jack London is one of my heros. Good on your folks.

[Martin Eden]

45. Yes, more than forty years ago

The evolution of the Martin Eden's life rang true, as did exposing the hypocrisy and shallow minds he encountered.

I wished for a better ending.

[Septua]

49. I'm saying a bird (somewhat) in the hand is better...

..than two in the tree. I don't have a clue what pieces will be on the board come Nov 2024. But if Trump isn't in jail, he could well be the rethug in the White House come Jan 2025.

What I can see at this point is the reasonable likelihood of him receiving 3 more indictments, one being the GA case which, as I understand, will be pardon-proof.

I well understand the political strategy that might be a better choice so as to keep Democrats in control. But I also think it's the state rethug kooks who are a clear and present danger and the presidential race won't help out there.

Trump needs to be convicted of something for more reasons than being held accountable for breaking the law. Everyone who helped him try to overturn the election and obstruct the certification needs to see that it is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. And maybe, just maybe, some of them will also be indicted and maybe convicted. And as has been said, the failed Jan 6, 2021 coup was practice.

But to answer your question, I am indeed focused solely on Trump. I want him out of the game, off the field and barred from ever returning.

[Martin Eden]

50. I think our main disagreement is whether Trump can win the general election

I am of the opinion that he can't, and will hurt downticket R's as well.

[docgee]

27. Why not both?

Let him run while on trial, then the can lock him up right after the gop convention.

[Martin Eden]

46. Better yet -- after he loses the gene election and brings a bunch of Rethug candidates down with him

Getting out the vote is always HUGELY IMPORTANT, and I think TFG as the nominee come next November will motivate a lot more souls to the polls.

[Ms. Toad]

33. You are aware that some Democrats voted in Republican primaries to ensure Trump

was the 2016 candidate, because he was such a joke that it would help Democrats win the 2016 elections, aren't you? That worked out really well. Just focus on the second - far safer.

[yaesu]

7. I feel sorry for the person who swabs that thing for DNA. Hope they wear

Heavy duty gloves, maybe a full on space suit.

[2naSalit]

13. I'd go with the full coverage space suit.

[niyad]

10. Stroke out already, you F'n, murdering, orange TRAITOR**.

[Omnipresent]

12. Where's Hunter?!!

Hunter is somewhere, laughing his ass off, over Trump.

[TeamProg]

14. Because...

As Joyce Vance says:


"When you have the FACTS, you pound out the facts."

"When you have the LAW on your side, you pound out the law."

"When you DON'T have a defense, you claim the system is rigged"

[JanLip]

34. I just love JOYCE

She is such a smart lady. She is a southern lady. Enjoy her take on legal subjects.

[ShazzieB]

38. I've also heard it this way...

"If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts; if you have the law on your side, pound the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table."

All of Trump's bluster, attacks on prosecutors, etc. is just him pounding the table, because the law and the facts are against him.

[gratuitous]

15. We need a whaaa-mbulance at 1100 S. Ocean Blvd, Palm Beach

Severe case of butt-hurt reported.

[Farmer-Rick]

21. Jeez

A 319 word screed is really nuts.

I wonder if Musk and Twitter are reposting his craziness?

[Johonny]

22. I assume his lawyer will try to plea bargain to a lesser charge

It's obvious Trump will simply spam more and more guilty evidence every time he posts, or talks . . . he can't help himself. He's a nightmare client. This is the first time more than his $, he doesn't have, was on the line.

[area51]

23. #DementiaDonnie really needs to get over his obsession with Hunter Biden. n/t

[lame54]

24. "WHERE'S HUNTER?"...

Maybe you can see him on visiting day

[Deminpenn]

25. Anything he says or writes can be used

against him. We all know he won't be able to shut up and is sure to give Bragg and company more evidence of guilt.

[LuckyLib]

41. So someone thinks this booking will take only 10-15 minutes?

Please. This is motormouth Trump. He will demand his right to speak and will let ‘er rip, even as the judge hammers the gavel.

[Deminpenn]

51. Disagree

If there are cameras and recorders are allowed in the court room, Americans, especially Trumpers, are going to be shocked at how deferential and passive he is.

[republianmushroom]

29. Did you run out of pepto bismol, Donald, or do you need some thing stronger ?

Buck up, big boy this is only one state so far. There may be more coming.
We shall see, in time.

[Canoe52]

31. Betcha he won't show up Tuesday. No way

he’s going let them fingerprint him.

[H2O Man]

32. Recommended.

[Initech]

35. It's going to be fun watching him squirm!

[LiberalFighter]

39. They should get his mushroom printed too.

Make sure to collect his DNA.

[Cha]

40. Haha.. Bender Away, Asshole.

[Playingmantis]

42. Cant wait for Georgia and the Special Prosecutor to join in ..

Cant wait for his reactions to more indictments!!
His 2 45 AM post indicates he cant sleep.

[stage left]

47. I hope

Donald Trump never sleeps again. He is the most prolific mass murderer in the history of the United States.

[joshcryer]

44. He's still at it. I am cracking up.

[Evolve Dammit]

48. Hope he needs an AED; fuck him. He is pure evil. "Chosen One" my ass. nt

[Rhiannon12866]

52. Has he ever taken a look at his own son? Good Grief!

[Martin68]

53. "Trump Goes On Manic Posting Bender " With any luck at all he will further incriminate himself.

[Catherine Vincent]

56. Fat Nixon not getting any sleep?

[grantcart]

57. "Posting Bender"

If Family Feud asked "Name a famous person who is known for going on a posting bender" they would get only one response from 100 adults.
