“ The problem for Trump is that his hands are tied. The former president would prefer the court to take up the case after the DC circuit rules because he’s eager to delay his impending trial as much as possible. But he can’t oppose the prosecutors’ request now and then make the same request in several months’ time.”
“And at the heart of the Trump legal team’s filing was the extraordinary contention that Trump both was entitled to absolute presidential immunity and that the immunity applied whether or not Trump intended to engage in the conduct described in the indictment.“

Dotard vowing to take it to the Supreme Court absolutely shitting his pants that it’s going to the Supreme Court
By Spocks Ears, how can any self-respecting person read this kind of thing and think to themselves, ‘yes, this is my guy’.
I want to say this is fake, and I’ve been fooled, but after years of this stuff I’m fairly certain it’s the real deal.

My man, you already listed three reasons right there:
- “self-respecting” (they’re not)
- “read” (they don’t)
- “think” (they can’t)
Because they perceive it as trolling liberals, and they love him for it. He doesn’t have to be coherent as long as he offends the right people.
All of the unnecessary capitalisation makes him look like a functionally illiterate elderly person who just discovered the internet. It’s like I’m reading a “forwards from grandma” style email from the 2000s.
Unrelated, but I’ve been looking for other explicatives besides “by God.” I’m going to abscond with the spirit of that one.
By Grabthar’s Hammer…
What a deal!
By Thor’s Banjo has been my go to
Oh it’s real alright
I can’t believe they send that shit out completely unironically.
I can’t believe that it appears to work!
Banana Republic style
Hmm I would say this is not Banana Republic at all. This is how the legal system operates and if anything, Trump has been treated with patience.
I think Jan 6 more closely resembles the Banana Republic style.
Correct, it’s all projection.
Oh no. Let’s not injure his “150 million, at least, supporters”. You know when they wrote this for him he insisted they add the words “at least”.
Biden won 81,283,098 votes, or 51.3 percent of the votes cast. He is the first U.S. presidential candidate to have won more than 80 million votes. Trump won 74,222,958 votes, or 46.8 percent of the votes cast. That’s more votes than any other presidential candidate has ever won, with the exception of Biden. (Third-party candidates picked up 1.8 percent of the votes cast.)
More than 159 million Americans voted in 2020: 159,633,396 to be exact.
150 million at least??? Then why did you get only ~74M? God damn his lies have no boundary.
Fat Ass totally wrote that slop.
Uncertain, it’s not in all caps. Maybe the spokesman dialed it back.
What Gave it Away?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Donald Trump’s attempt to delay his impending federal trial on charges over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results may have been dealt a deft blow by special counsel prosecutors, after they directly asked the US supreme court to resolve whether the former president can be criminally prosecuted.
Earlier this month, Trump asked the US court of appeals for the DC circuit to reverse a decision by the trial judge rejecting his motion to dismiss the case on presidential immunity grounds.
On Monday, the special counsel Jack Smith sought to bypass the DC circuit by asking the supreme court to resolve the issue.
Yet with the special counsel moving to circumvent the DC circuit, Trump and his legal team have effectively been forced to grapple with the supreme court plank of his delay strategy far earlier than they had expected.
The eventual outcome could still be good for Trump: the justices could deny certiorari, for now, and instruct the special counsel to resubmit his request after the DC circuit issues a decision.
The motions to dismiss submitted by Trump’s lawyers contended that all of his attempts to reverse his 2020 election defeat in the indictment – including trying to obstruct the January 6 congressional certification – were in his capacity as president and therefore protected.
