    If he were smart enough to listen to anyone he would be in this position.
    Keep on talking buddy!

    For the first time in my life, I want to watch Trump’s press conference, and I really, really hope he actually does it. Seems weird for him to chicken out now.

    His lawyers need to STFU fr.

    This is the real Superbowl. A coworker of mine told me he treated Election Day as the super bowl each year, taking the day after off so he could stay up and watch the content all night.

    I’m starting to see his point. I have paid attention to so much more political news the last couple years than I ever did before, and I’m really looking forward to this conference and the coverage of it afterwards.

    True story coming up. I had a pretty major surgery the night of the Georgia run off election. The very first thing I asked when I remembered how to talk was “did Herschel lose?” I don’t live anywhere near Georgia, but I just really had to know if that stupid fucker ended up losing. Last I knew when I got put under was it was pretty even, but way too early to call.

    I woke up and after seeing all my siblings come to visit, I asked about politics. None of them had a clue what I was talking about. But I finally got motor control back and turned the room TV on to check on it. I don’t think it was yet called at that point, but it was soon after. I was so happy. I don’t know much about Warnock, but at least he won’t be trying to join werewolf committees.

    It was still way closer than it any business being.

    Sorry about the random rant, that memory just hit me while I was typing.

      Well I mean he is their client so technically, legally they have to do everything they can to the best of their ability to win. That said, they are fucking stupid for taking him on as a client. I can’t believe he can even still get lawyers. Knowing how badly he’s scraping the bottom of the barrel, all I can assume is that he is finding the most desperate, pathetic, trash lawyers in the entire system at this point. The ones who scraped through school with a C- average.

    I don’t disagree with the message and hope he gets what’s coming to him, but what is this source? To quote:

    Trump’s Lawyers Ask Him to Cancel Press Conference on Georgia Election Before He Makes Matters Worse, Jon Karl ReportsKarl noted that between Trump’s enraged reactions to his fourth indictment, Trump announced on Truth Social that he would hold a press conference on Monday where he would produce a “Large, Complex, Detailed but Irrefutable Report” that will supposedly prove he was right that Georgia’s 2020 election results were “rigged” by mass voter fraud.

    That’s a one sentence paragraph with what seems like another nineteen-word source injected as the subject.

    Is this what AI-driven journalism looks like?

      All the capitalized words at the beginning hurt my brain cuz I thought I was reading a paragraph but it didn’t feel like it so I initially gave up on the whole paragraph. But your real paragraphs explained why I felt that way and I gave the paragraph another go. It still hurt.

      If this is the future of journalism, I’m now an Old Man Yelling At The (AI) Cloud.

    This isn’t a trump 5d chess thing or whatever but it might honestly be the smarter move for him to just keep riling up his base and make it a guarantee riot if he gets jailed.

    Seems pretty likely he’s fucked legally so he’s put in a situation that breaking law and order is probably his best move.

    I feel like we should all make accounts on true social to triple dog dare him to ignore the lawyers, and do the press conference. I’ll pop the popcorn.

    No let this train wreck continue. If he has evidence to exonerate himself he would have never been indicted in the first place

    Trump’s only chance is probably to foul the magisterial process as much as possible to prevent it from holding him accountable. It’s worked for him so far, and even if he is taken into custody, that will only increase his popularity and stoke outrage. There’s nothing for him to lose.
