Hey Trumpy, What day are you going to turn yourself in? Friday the 25th is quickly approaching!

August 3, 2023
It's been about 20 minutes since the arraignment. Has Trumpy violated the conditions of release yet?
How about now?

Holy crap, an amazing portrait of a MAGAt family in all their evil, grifting stupidity.
The Untold Story of the Insular Texas Family That Invaded the U.S. Capitol
From inside the home, several German shepherds snarled and barked at the sound of strangers arriving on the doorstep. The house, on a quiet street of low-slung brick residences just outside the Panhandle town of Borger, was otherwise quiet. Its garage door had been left open, revealing an array of carpentry tools hung against the back wall. Nothing unusual distinguished the place, except that the windows were lined with black plastic garbage bags and one of the panes bore a two-word message scrawled in red and blue paint. It said: Trump Won.
The dogs became even more animated after the doorbell rang. Half a minute passed, then the door opened. Standing there, with a hand still on the knob, was a wiry man in his fifties, with close-cropped hair and a thatch of gray stubble on his chin. Hi! How are you? Tom Munn said. His smilesomewhat asymmetrical, owing to the absence of several front teethwas nervous but genial.
That members of the news media had shown up on his doorstep was perhaps surprising only because it had been several months since his family had done anything to warrant interest. This was January 8, 2022. The case of USA v. Munn et al., one of roughly nine hundred to result from the attack on the U.S. Capitol 367 days earlier, was moving slowly through the federal courts. Though it seemed likely that prosecutors would offer a plea deal by which the Munns could avoid lengthy jail time, nothing had yet materialized. Everyones kind of in a wait-and-see pattern, Munn said. I dont know how the system works, anyway. Its completely foreign to me.

DeSantis - whenever he gets excited his head starts to bobble. That's his tell.
Whenever his head starts bobbling, he's doing some heavy duty prevarication.
Big time asshole, big time clown.

John Durham Just Made False Statements to Congress
In a subsequent exchange with Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.), Durham misled the committee about another key element of the Trump-Russia scandal. McClintock observed that the central charge in the Russia collusion hoax was that Trump campaign operatives were in contact with Russian intelligence sources.
Replying to that remark, Durham said, There was no such evidence.
Thats not true.
While running Trumps campaign in the summer of 2016, Manafort had regular contact with Konstantin Kilimnik, a former Manafort employee in Ukraine who has been repeatedly identified by US government officials as a Russian agent.
In a detailed, bipartisan 2020 report, the Senate Intelligence Committee, then chaired by Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, called Kilimnik a Russian intelligence officer. A year earlier, the Mueller report said, The FBI assesses that Kilimnik has ties to Russian intelligence. The US Treasury in 2021 declared Kilimnik was a known Russian Intelligence Services agent implementing influence operations on their behalf. The department added, During the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign, Kilimnik provided the Russian Intelligence Services with sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy. In 2018, Mueller indicted Kilimnik on charges of obstruction of justice.

People keep asking, how to get thru to the reality-denying RWers? How to make them acknowledge
the seriousness and reality of the Trump crimes?
Not sure I have the answers, but would love to hear the opinion of cult de-programmers.
Why hasn't anyone in the media or tv opinion shows interviewed a cult de-programmer on the Trumpy Cult?
How do we get those folks back into a reality-based worldview?
