Man, woman, camera, tripod. I still got it.

I should run for president someday. Haven't heard from Jeff for a while. 

A young version of Ivanka. Ivanka. Ivanka...

I’m going to buy a sandwich and throw it at my mouth! 

Perhaps a century from now there will be holiday to celebrate our freedom with subway sandwiches, extra mustard and onions.

the Thanksgiving thing...what a crock of shit.

The size of the meal is going to be down 50 percent due to costs for regular folks. This is more like Shrinksgiving if anything.

Keep it up old man. You can lie about a lot of shit, but telling people their bills are going down when they continue to go up seems like a losing strategy.

Marge was on CNN tonight.  She straight-up said "I do my own grocery shopping and prices aren't down, and my electric bill on my house and my DC apartment are up from a year ago".

And yet the cult will not believe one word of that. Not a single one.

Enjoyable essay from a reporter who covered The Sandwich Guy trial https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/sandwich-guy--thrower-of-hoagie-or-hero

Quote

 

The jury seems to find all this funny too. We can’t see the jurors on the screens in the dedicated media space, but a reporter in the courtroom confirms that they struggle at times to contain their smiles—and one juror in particular must cover her face with her notebook to conceal herself cracking up. Comments on my Twitter thread recounting the case in assiduous detail include many mentions of how much readers “relish” the coverage. They doubt that the government’s case can “pass mustard.” They proclaim the prosecution “bologna.”

Attorney for the defense Sabrina Shroff emphasizes the joke of it all when she asks in closing: “Would a man genuinely injured, genuinely offended, by having a sandwich thrown at him proudly, happily, joyfully” carry around mementos of the event? The government, prosecuting this case “in some purported effort to keep law enforcement safe and free from food fights,” is trying to turn a “gag-gift worthy moment into a federal criminal offense.”

Sandwich Guy, on lunch break, sits in the cafeteria eating soup.

for real tho...how the hell did that guy get a trial so fast? 😆

Likely just demanded his speedy trial. Not a bad strategy when the prosecution has a shitty case.  I've had to do several within that timeframe and it can be incredibly stressful getting all your ducks in a row, depending on the defense. But then again, it's usually moreso for the party that bears the burden.

They’ll probably believe it but they’ll no doubt blame Biden. 

This. I had a client at my previous job that was a magat in AZ. Every time I talked to her in 2025, she was making excuses for dotard’s economy and how “he was trying his best, but Biden just left him such a mess”. She was a god damn imbecile.

Demo contractors on these types of projects are usually subs to the GC... which unfortunately happens to be the one I work for.

I'm hating the "we're just building a building" Nuremberg defense. Even though we've done a lot of work with the federal government, and will continue to do so, this is a project we should have walked away from.

But then again, it's usually moreso for the party that bears the burden.

Also a misdemeanor, which is uncommon in federal court and likely viewed by at least the judge and defense as a nuisance to be disposed of. 

And, in your typical, relatively complex federal prosecution, the prosecution has to do months or years of investigation, generating a bunch of evidence, most of which has to be given to the defendant and the defendant then has to have some time to go through it.  Then you have your pretrial motions about whether the criminal statute really fits the offense and so on.

Most federal crimes are not of the simple, common-law type like assault, burglary, rape, murder.

Even in this case, though, it seems the defense did some pretty serious investigation to find that the agent had received gag gifts over it.

Long story short, this has no business being in federal court and everyone knew it.

What's interesting to me is that a DC jury took seven hours to acquit.  That tells me that the jury took the case seriously despite being obviously political.  It may have been a crazy holdout situation, but I think from the questions they sent the judge, they tried pretty hard to decide if the actions really fit the definition of the crime.

Final note, everyone involved had some recognition that trial time in a US District Court is a rare and precious resource.  The defense doesn't really care as long as it gets its trial sometime in the millennium, but the judge for sure and the prosecution, probably, care quite a bit that 2-4 days of precious trial time are taken up by unserious, political cases.

He thinks the only way people can know about cost of living is reading in the paper. Because that's the only contact he has with it.

Remember what a revelation the word "groceries" was to him. New word. Never heard it much. Groceries. Huh. What do ya know?

Don't worry -- by the time people get pissed off enough to vote him out, they'll have gotten rid of elections.

We've all grown so accustomed to Trump lying every time he opens his mouth, that he can stand in front of cameras and say that his poll numbers are the best ever, and that he ended inflation and eight wars, and no one bats an eye. Like, a president being caught in a huge lie used to be a thing. I swear I remember it. But we just expect Trump to lie now, so he does it like that above, and everyone just goes "uh huh" and moves on. It would be fascinating if it weren't so horrific.

This is probably what will drive me insane. Nobody in that room can just ask where he’s getting those numbers or what the fuck he’s talking about or why the fuck he’s orange?!

Our newspapers and TV news won't even call a lie a lie. They quote the lie then, if we're particularly lucky, they quote somebody who doesn't believe the lie.

That's pretty watery reporting.

Here's a headline:

President Trump lies about cost of living

It's true and unreachable for libel or slander laws. The owners and the boys in legal won't have it, though.

If they did, they would lose access, the lifeblood of the White House press corps.

Still can't believe how cowardly and weak so many Americans (including some friends and family) ended up being. American exceptionalism was a total lie, half this country submitted to a famous grifter and abandoned their fellow man. It's so fucking pathetic. For shame.

Incredible. The guy that passed out in Oval Office yesterday was not Gordon Findlay, a pharma exec, that was trending all day yesterday on X. Just blatantly wrong info that spread like wildfire. 

Turns out he was Eli Lilly patient that has been taking a GLP-1.
