“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!

Edit: This article is old but it made me laugh. If a moderator wants to remove it they can.

Dude you know for a fact now that this article is a year old and you’re not going to delete it yourself? That means you’re just deliberately continuing to spread misinformation about a food recall, and that makes you a special kind of jerk.

Go shout “fire” in a movie theater, prick.

Colin Allred's quote:

“You can’t be for the mob on January 6 and for the officers. You can’t. I was on the House floor when we went through the votes. I remember when you objected to the results in Arizona. Y’all at home might remember where you were on January 6, what you were doing. I know where I was, and I know where he was. I remember when they told us to reach under our seats for these gas masks I didn’t know we had because they had deployed tear gas in the rotunda. The officers locked all the doors, we barred the doors… And I texted my wife Aly, who was seven months pregnant with our son Cameron and at home with our son Jordan who wasn’t yet two, “Whatever happens, I love you.” I took off my suit jacket, and I was prepared to defend the House floor from the mob. At the same time, after he’d gone around the country lying about the election, after he’d been the architect of the attempt to overthrow an election, when that mob came, Senator Cruz was hiding in a supply closet."
