    What site do you think this this, OANN or NewsMaxx?

    Fair point. I'd just like a baseless accusation of being a racist to be taken back.

    It's really not fair or honest.

    I admit my call was a little formal.

    It hurts his brand which he cares about.

    If criminally convicted, and he was to try and write or talk about the events surrounding it and makes any money from doing so, I think the son of sam style laws in various states would also leave him open to civil suits or any profits handed over to the government in some cases as part of plea bargains.

    He's got to find a publisher first - and I don't think he'll be able to afford to vanity publish once the tax guys are through with him and his businesses have tanked.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    The move to impeach Trump, and the subsequent address of a more conciliatory tone than normal gives me some degree of hope that his cough has been softened and he'll keep quiet in the coming days.

    Yea no. He will go out in Trump style. I still fully expect a wave of obscene pardons not related to the article of impeachment

    Snapchat has banned Trump, don't know why....

    I don't understand why someone as selfish as him is motivated to pardon anyone.

    I'd say his kids were in his ear saying he was going to lose his Presidential perks, and see his business alienated massively were he to continue in the same vein.

    It probably will be used by Republicans to justify their voting not to convict him in the impeachment trial.

    What's very noticeable is the style where he uses a teleprompter for what he is being given something to say vs his own real thoughts. So the conciliatory tone is obviously looking very fake.

    The son of John Adams (easily my favorite founder, who warned us of the death spiral of the two party system) President John Quincy Adams, said, “I hold myself, so long as I have the breath of life in my body, amenable to impeachment by this House for everything I did during the time I held any public office.”

    https://twitter.com/asfleischman/status/1349552857259913217?s=21

    In 1876 the same contemptible year as the Tilden/Hayes race, Secretary of War William Belknap was impeached after he left office: upon being outed for accepting monetary emoluments (bribes) in exchange for contracts, Belknap ran over to the White House to resign, thinking that he could escape impeachment’s consequences. The Congress didn’t see it this way, and they impeached him anyway, despite not quite getting the 2/3rds of the Senate to convict him (imagine that, partisan politics)

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2021/01/13/impeachment-blount-belknap-trump/

    Just keep this in mind as the rhetoric pivots to whether a Senate trial is moot or unconstitutional or unprecedented. It appears to be neither of the 3.

    I'd love it to be true... Trump is well known to default on payments and sooner or later Trump will throw you under a bus.

    But this sounds too good be true. Rudy is one of the people can't afford to lose right now, surely?

    Rudy needs Trump more than Trump needs Rudy.

    It’s trump, so it’s definitely true.

    True. And if Trump sees Rudy as a failure then he'll definitely turn on him, but I would have thought Rudy has too much on Trump to risk getting tossed aside.

    Maybe Trump really just can't afford to pay him.

    Trump 2024

    Would be beautiful if that was his prisoner number...

    I'm a firm believer someone should be paid what they are worth, so.....

    The wealthiest author in the world is J K Rowling at 1 billion, so you expect him to outdo everyone from Stephen King to her. But he can't even write a grammatically correct tweet. :D

    Yeh, but like his previous book(s), Trump won't be writing this one either. ;)

    That said, the level of legal expertise portrayed by Rudy puts him in the 'no win no fee' lawyer. If my solicitor alleged that there was fraud but then couldn't produce any in court, I'd consider what fee should be paid

    I was making a joke that the quality of legal service Rudy provided meant that not paying him sounded about right....

    Or

    He will instantly regret being forced by his staff to make that statement and go full bat shít for the next 6 days once someone explains to him the significance of what actually is happening.

    Excuse me? This isn't black people being "uppity" (quite racist).

    It's people using identity politics where it's not warranted

    Again, what exactly was the birther thing other than identity politics on steroids? That was Trumps genesis, the beginning of his appeal to conspiracy theorists, the start of his journey that ultimately led to his deification in the QaNon cult

    Ban billionaires

    His stilted, scripted address last night suggests the Trump crime family have been telling him to stfu and stop the division, as they see their business empire crumbling in a hail of boycotts and lawsuits.
    Too late for a damascene conversion though.
