Trump wasn't even there.

Do you really think that they're going to send a hit team who is so incompetent as to hit a place to kill him... when he's not even there- particularly when 'they' have federal agents that are constantly monitoring his presence?

(Like seriously. if the gooberment wanted to whack him. it'd be from the Secret Service, not the FBI.)

[–] TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

More than that, they unprecedentedly arranged with his lawyers to pick a date/time that NONE of his family, let alone himself, were even in Florida! This is 100% intimidation of law enforcement in retaliation for the justice system FINALLY trying to hold him to account for his lifetime of crime.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I kinda wish they didn’t. Can you imagine the headlines if they had to cuff Trump to keep him from obstructing things?

The body cam video they’d release of his unhinged ranting as he tried to hide even more documents? Or maybe eat them?

If I can’t have justice, at least entertain me.

Melania Trump has entered the chat...

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

she'd probably just poison the ketchup they bring out with his ~~steaks~~ shoe leather.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You misspelled hamberders.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no. he enjoys his mar a lago steaks well done. and with ketchup.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The smoking gun that shows he is not human, but some kind of monster.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, I kind of insist on well done steaks when I'm at my brother's house... mostly because my SiL has some rather unsettling food safety practices. It's possible to cook them so they're not totally shoe-leather, but I would never go to a steak joint and order well done.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's amazing that I know so much about Trump's eating habits. Pizza with a knife and fork; two scoops of ice cream while the guests only get one; well done steaks.

He's the dumpster fire that you can't look away from.

In my defense, I only notice because I really want him to kark it already. It's a miracle he hasn't. One wonders what the world has done to piss off satan lately.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

He had a long history of going on David Letterman's show. David routinely humiliated Donnie, but Donnie kept going back on because he's addicted to displaying himself. I guess if you've spent over 50 years training yourself to be a public spectacle you get good at it.

Legal boilerplate isn't even necessary. They're cops. Of course they're authorized to use lethal force, or they wouldn't be given guns. This is so fucking stupid.

If Trump was black, he would be dead with a bullet in his chest and/or head by now.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 23 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Okay, hear me out:

Paint Trump black.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait a second... you may have figured out how to get Republicans to defend black people. Wealthy black people at any rate.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

No, we tried that. The rich black people aren't allowed to be concerned about black issues, otherwise they stop being one of the "good ones"

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 1 year ago

Halloween skin dropped.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's even worse than that. It's boilerplate language that limits their use of force rather than expanding it.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Funny how this “boilerplate” text is literally how cops treat everybody else all the time. They are always prepared to kill somebody. Trump is bitching because he was being treated like a regular person.
