… the insurrection. Federico Klein goes all-out for Trumpism.
The former American president Donald Trump was found guilty on Monday by a court in New York on charges of corruption and influence peddling.
The verdict was the culmination of just one of several long-running legal entanglements that are coming to a head for Mr. Trump, 74, who led the United States from 2017 to 2021 and is still widely popular among conservatives…
He received a three-year prison sentence, with two of those years suspended. However, it was widely expected that Mr. Trump would appeal, a process that would place the sentence on hold…
Mr. Trump, who lost his bid for re-election in 2021, has denied wrongdoing in a complex web of financial impropriety cases that has plagued him since he left office.
Pride of ‘Bama Tommy Tuberville forgot to lie to Politico about having told Trump his vice-president’s life was in danger.
[T]he detail that Tuberville informed Trump his vice president was in danger is a new and potentially significant development for House prosecutors seeking Trump’s conviction: it occurred just around the time that Trump sent a tweet attacking Pence for not having “the courage” to unilaterally stop Joe Biden’s victory. And Trump never indicated publicly that he was aware of Pence’s plight, even hours after Tuberville says he told him.
Whoops! Instead of leaving your quarterback vulnerable to attacks from the civilized world that he reveled in the thought of his vp dying from mob violence, you were supposed to (didn’t you read the offensive play charts?) say that the president had no idea where Mike Pence and his family were.
Senior aides to the House impeachment managers said Thursday that they considered Tuberville’s comments to be new information that confirms their case that Trump abandoned Pence and Congress to the mob rather than attempting to quell the violence.
“It squares with what we already know, that the president knew his vice president was in danger and did nothing,” said one of the aides, adding, “We will have more to speak on that point today.”
Or as the fully embarrassed Alabama media puts it:
There are only a few ways to interpret this. Either Trump didn’t care his vice president was in danger and recklessly put his life at further risk. Or Trump did care — and wanted him pursued, or hurt, or killed.

“I am Bruce Castor, prosecutor for the former president…”
LOL. The very first words of Trump’s impeachment defense attorney have him identifying himself as his prosecutor. He quickly corrected himself, but really mes petites – you don’t have to read The Psychopathology of Everyday Life to figure out what’s going on there.
I’m surprised he didn’t open up his formal remarks by saying I am Bruce Castor, prostitute for the former president…
His defense lawyers dismiss the impeachment trial as “political theater,” but their own 78-page brief practically plagiarizes from The Importance of Being Earnest:
Were I fortunate enough to be Miss Prism’s pupil, I would hang upon her lips. [MISS PRISM glares.] I spoke metaphorically. – My metaphor was drawn from bees.
Citing a long history of “erratic behavior” (that’s putting it nicely), the president denies America’s Genius of the Carpathians access to intelligence reports.
Ever since the largest landslide in the history of the world was stolen from him by the forces of George Soros, DJT has been motivated by a bitter determination to bring down the government of the United States. Which seemeth to UD not the perfect profile of an intelligence-receiver.
One of the biggest defamation suits ever filed. Special suits for special people.
Trump’s favorite playmates banned in Canada! But (whew!) he can still play with them here.
I’m sorry. Not a pretty way to put it.
But the new administration looks likely – in the special case of DJT – to revoke the usual ex-presidential prerogative to receive intelligence briefings.
Need we count the ways this treacherous man represents a threat to the nation, with or without privileged information? I’d give stuff like this to his best buddy Marjorie Taylor Greene before I’d give it to him.

“[Trump] was [a Russian] asset. It was not this grand, ingenious plan that we’re going to develop this guy and 40 years later he’ll be president. At the time it started, which was around 1980, the Russians were trying to recruit like crazy and going after dozens and dozens of people.
Trump was the perfect target in a lot of ways: his vanity, narcissism made him a natural target to recruit. He was cultivated over a 40-year period, right up through his election.”
