Well, The Deceived MAGAs are demonstrating their love of country and respect for the rule of law again, in their standard “Screw this country and screw the law!” kind of way. A District Attorney, Fani Willis, brought evidence to a grand jury – this one in Georgia. The Grand Jury heard the evidence and decided there was enough there to issue an indictment for crimes.

It’s just a standard part of the process, called ‘discovery,’ that the prosecutor is required to send all relevant information to the defense to prepare for the trial. In Georgia, this includes the unredacted names of the members of the Grand Jury. Apparently the “thinking” is, the defense might need to vet the Grand Jury members for or against bias.

The thing is, the trumpster doesn’t have a defense. All he has is lies and whining – and threats. Serious threats. The trumpster has been told he can’t share this information but not yet by this court. So? The names and addresses of the members of the Grand Jury have been showing up online, specifically on Trump’s failing ‘Truth Social’ site. Now his acolytes know who to attack – and they’re doing so. Not physically, that I’ve heard, yet. Just threats. But some of The Deceived are unstable and very not smart. If trump says attack, they will. (That will be EXTRA stupid, by the way. The work of the Grand Jury is done. You can be mad at them for respecting the law but you can’t undo that which has already been done, so what good is the harassment?)

One of The Deceived wrote: “I’m looking forward to the fun some will have with the list of leaked grand jurors …” Well, bully for him. I’M looking forward to the fun some in law enforcement will have arresting these America-hating cretins as they issue their threats.

Did you hear about the woman in Texas named Abigail Jo Shry? She’s one of The Deceived. Her beloved started calling the prosecutor in ‘Indictment 3, the DC Caper,’ Tanya Chutkin, a “racist” and accusing her of bad behavior and ill-intent. Abigail knew just what to do: call Chutkin up and threaten to kill her – AND her family, just for good measure. (Hell, even the Mafia leaves family out of business.)

Shry also threatened to kill a Texas Democrat named Sheila Jackson Lee and every Washington Democrat and, apparently, all members of the LGBTQ community. (Hey, at least she has ambition…) Mental stability, thy name is clearly MAGA. Now she gets a shiny new trial of her very own! Nice work, Abigail. Enjoy your pending “vacation.”

I’ll tell you this: Frankly, I don’t understand the need for threats. The trumpster has made clear, over and over and over again that he has ALL the extra special, super-de-duper proof he needs to successfully defend himself in court. All he has to do is show up, whip out his proof, and go home again, laughing at the media and the District Attorney and Democrats and the law all the way…

…Unless he’s lying about having exonerating evidence, of course. In that case, he has a real problem…

I saw video of the trumpster at a rally. He had primed his audience to give him permission to skip the debates scheduled for this Wednesday. He told them he didn’t want to do it. He pointed out that, as front-runner, it would be foolish to participate. He said everyone already knows his policies. (Sidebar: “Why is everybody always picking on me?” is NOT a policy position and it’s all I ever hear from that guy…)

After he had teed them up, he asked the question, “But, I’ll leave it to you, should I do the debates?” He expected a resounding, “NO!” Instead, he got a rather resounding, “YES!” He looked surprised. He dismissed the “wrong” answer by saying people just wanted the entertainment value. Then he said the people who had answered ‘yes’ were selfish. Pitching insults at your own base doesn’t seem wise but then I remember, MAGAs see that only as a well-deserved rebuke from their beloved, like the abused wife who dismisses the violence because she “made him do it.”

But the trumpster ain’t doing the debates and there was never any question. It’s not about knowing his policy positions or risking front-runner status. It’s all about knowing that his opposition would take every single opportunity they could to mention his impressive collection of indictments. Literally, the greatest collection of indictments ever collected by an ex-president. NO ex-president has EVER collected more indictments than him. He’s the GREATEST at collecting indictments! Nobody collects indictments like him! Why, he’s probably collected something like, a thousand indictments but the rigged mainstream media will only tell you about the two, three, four, soon to be five. Joe Biden!

I’ll tell you this: it’s cowardly, an expected trait from the trumpster, but it’s also probably pretty cagey. How does one defend oneself against the indefensible?
