"I am just a country lawyer, unaware of the ways of Washington, D.C., but I must comment on your statements regarding obedience to subpoenas lawfully issued by committees of Congress," Barnes added, while highlighting what he claimed was Jordan's hypocrisy.

"I notice that you were issued with a subpoena of the committee of Congress, which investigated the January 6 insurrection against the government of the United States of America. You failed to appear before that committee. I therefore find your protestations regarding a normal citizen obeying subpoenaed to be somewhat hollow," Barnes wrote.

lmao got 'em. Seriously, though, how in the hell did Jim Jordan never end up in jail for pulling that crap. I'm getting really sick of the rules never applying to Republicans.

“I won’t pay the bill for this stupid company,” he said. “I won’t pay the bill, and then we’ll have a story that Trump didn’t pay the bill to a contractor.”

If you don’t want a reputation for screwing over contractors then you should pay your damn contractors. But we all know Trump would’ve just made up a reason to stiff them even if everything went smoothly.

But I do find it amusing that he’s this close to figuring out why his mic didn’t work in the first place. Good contractors have options and won’t work for a known dead beat. So all he can get are incompetent fools.

Allow me to repeat myself:

Gonna need a source on that.

I don’t think he knows a damn thing, but his campaign staff definitely do.

Yeah, when people call MAGA a cult it’s not an exaggeration. These people are brainwashed to the core. They were parading around in diapers over a rumor that he might be incontinent! That’s not even remotely close to a normal reaction to unpleasant gossip. Normal would be simply dismissing it out of hand because at the end of the day there isn’t really any proof.

Sentencing Trump before the election risks the sentence being thrown out, even if Trump loses.

Gonna need a source on that. Because the only reason Merchan cited for delaying sentencing was to avoid the appearance of influencing the election.

There’s no reason to suspect that sentencing him in September would’ve resulted in it being thrown out, and the claim doesn’t even make any sense. There’s no reason he couldn’t have just been ordered to report to prison (if that’s what he was sentenced to) after the election. Delaying sentencing was not part of some cunning legal maneuvering, it was just cowardice in the face of the possibility of appearing to influence an election by sentencing a felon on schedule.

This just makes Judge Merchan’s cowardly decision last month to delay Trump’s sentencing for a second time until after the election all the more unconscionable. He never stopped committing the fucking crime.

I truly hope the good people of Georgia haven’t forgotten that Donald Trump attempted to steal their votes from them in 2020, and I hope they understand he is going to try to do it again if it’s anything short of a Harris/Walz blowout.

I did my part. Here’s hoping this is the year we flip the state!
