Charges, Claims, and Evidence…

I know. It can be difficult to keep track of which judge goes with which trial so I’ll try to keep it clear. Judge Scott McAfee, the judge in the Georgia trial, has dismissed 6 of the 41 charges Donny and his co-conspirators face, assuming the GOP can’t get the case tossed over some technicality, a pretended conflict of interest. (Hey, now that I think about it, that’s a good “band name” for that pretend patriotic “song” the cons – and in this case, that’s “convicts” – put out, ‘Donny and the Co-conspirators.’)

The 6 tossed charges include 3 of the 13 against Donny, himself. It’s important to note that McAfee did NOT dismiss the charges permanently. He said the prosecutor hadn’t provided enough detail as to the underlying felony for the defense to prepare. Basically, his order is drop it or revise it for clarity. But they CAN revise it for clarity.

I think sometimes, prosecutors throw in everything but the kitchen sink in case something gets thrown out and these charges might be that. So even if they don’t revise those charges, the allegedly criminal group still faces 35 charges and Donny, personally, still faces 10. And none of those charges raised any questions with the judge at all…

I saw a story out of conservative media the other day. It asserted that certain charges the cons have made are too true, so there! It asserted these things have been proven and STILL the liberal media won’t report on them. (In the MAGA mind, if three people shout it loudly enough, and it might help Donny, then it’s “proven.”) One of them was about how it has now been proven, beyond question, that the Dumbass Don did too offer up 10,000 troops to protect the Capitol on J6! The point to that charge, in their minds, is that PeLOsi (you have to spit that. It’s the law.) is at fault for J6, not Donny, because she didn’t protect the Capitol properly.

It’s just a short step to the next, obvious question but the MAGA mind just never seems able to get there. Specifically, what was Pelosi protecting the Capitol from on J6?
“Hey, nice Capitol building you got, here. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it. We can get you, say, 10,000 National Guard troops to help protect the Capitol on J6?”
“Why would I need 10,000 National Guard troops to help protect the Capitol on J6? What do you know?”
“Oh, nothing. Nothing. No reason at all, really. We just thought it might be nice.”
“What’s ‘nice’ about surrounding the Capitol with 10,000 troops?” she wondered. “Look, nobody has ever done anything to disrupt this procedural event in the history of this country. Why would they start now? I’m sure we’ll be fine.”
“We’re going to remember you said that.”

On January 6, 2021, the Capitol building would not have needed 10,000 additional troops, let alone even the Capitol police if only Donald J. Trump had not decided to send an (admittedly ragtag) army to try to cling to power.

Hey, Dumbass, that was an option, too. The preferred one, in fact. The course EVERY defeated candidate before you had taken: accept your defeat like a man (even Hillary has bigger balls than you), walk away with a modicum of your little dignity still intact, and maybe run again in the next round. But no. You chose ‘whiny tantrum insurrection.’ THAT was MAGA. THAT was trump. Pelosi was not the problem, here…

The right puts out video of President Biden stumbling over words from time to time. They call it incontrovertible proof that Biden has dementia. So, the left puts out video of their own, Donny stumbling over words. Also proof of dementia? Don’t be ridiculous. That’s just super clever stupidity – or something.

Here’s the thing. Biden has a long-since acknowledged speech impediment. It makes sense he might stumble over words from time to time. He’s done it as long as he’s been alive. But Donny? Donny presents himself as perfect. Infallible, in fact. When HE stumbles over words, he WILL NOT confess an “error.” He claims it was intentional. (It is not.)

For a dude who’s perfectly infallible, Trump messes up a LOT. I mean, it doesn’t take that much time to put together a blooper reel of the guy stumbling over even basic words and there’s video evidence out there of him locking up entirely. Can you imagine if Biden were giving a speech that included a sentence like, “We’re a nation that just recently heard that Saudi Arabia and Russia will ree… pee… too… ahhh…” and then just…blank out for a moment? To their credit, even MAGA seemed startled by that one. To their discredit, they just tucked their concerns away and started attacking Biden again.

Still, it’s down to these two again. An old man who occasionally stumbles over words vs an old man who occasionally stumbles over words but also faces multiple felony charges, has been adjudicated a rapist, has been adjudicated a thief, stands credibly accused of abusing prescription drugs, and regularly brags about someone thinking he needs yet another cognitive test. I swear to the gods, I don’t understand how this is even a question…
