• Oh we should leave his kids alone cool let’s ask Hunter Biden about it, only difference being that the Trump’s actually did run a criminal enterprise for decades.

        Jared Kushner was denied a security clearance because he’s too buddy buddy with Saudi Arabia, but Trump went ahead and gave him one anyway. Then Saudi Arabia paid kushner $2 billion for supposedly no reason. This was right around the time the Saudi royal family was at Mar a Lago for their golf tournament. You know Mar a Lago, right? That place Trump was keeping all of the top secret documents he stole from the white house.

          That’s going to be in the criminal case against, Trump. If we can connect the dots, you can be sure the prosecutors working on it for months on end will. I wonder if Trump and his circle are aware of just how much the NSA and FBI can secure in the way of intelligence for treasonous behavior. I look forward to the takedown, but Teflon Donnie will probably skate somehow.

    Oh look at Trumph pretending to give a shit about his offspring when we all know he’s going to pretend he hardly knows them the second they flip on him.

      I’m going to disagree with you on that one. Your kids are always your children even if you are 100 and they are 80.

      The rest I will agree with.

        They are “his children” but they are not children, if you can make that distinction. In any event, he’s implying they are young and innocent and not involved, but none of that is true.

        Yeah, I’ve seen this come up a couple times.

        The problem is the English language doesn’t have a word that works as well as “children” when talking about your adult sons and daughters. The technical best might be “offspring”, but it has that same weird clinical sound as referring to people as “males” or “females”. It’d be like trying to use “humans” as the inclusive replacement for “ladies and gentlemen.” (That said, “humans” has a certain comedy value in its use.)

    At last, orange grandpa managed to recall the best conservative line of defence: but what about kids?

    Additionally, however, the Financial Statements Values are Conservative (LOW!), Mar-a-Lago is worth MUCH MORE than $18,000,000

    I’d bet 18 million he valued it as less than that on his taxes…

      No, the gag order for this case was only to get him to stop terrorizing the courtroom staff, like the judge’s clerks. He was making up bizarre conspiracy theories about them. The judge left himself out of the order.

      There’s multiple gag orders in multiple cases though that are all a bit different, depending on how Trump has tried to undermine courtroom proceedings in each case. So it gets a little confusing.

    Yep. Just keep violating that gag order, Don.

      He posted that at 2:30 in the morning, following a post that he made the day before at 4:30. That doesn’t sound like the hours a normal, healthy person keeps.

    (edit) Since people apparently have lost the ability to recognise the presence of subtext, let me spell it out. I’m certain that Trump is saying all of that out of concern not for his offsprings but for his own benefit, by trying to change the narrative from the facts of the case to the apparent harrassment of his children. I doubt he is capable of love, fatherly or otherwise.

    (/edit)

    You can’t fault a man for protecting his children.

    But I seriously doubt that sentient pile of spray-on tan has the emotional capacity to recognise its human-shaped wank-stains as its children beyond whatever publicity pity-points it can get out of them.

        While the general “can’t fault a man for protecting his children” is a milquetoast statement we can all agree with, it’s obfuscating what really happened.

        He wasn’t chasing away a coyote with a pointed stick: the dude posted a bizarre attack (name-calling, non sequiturs, claims of fraud) on attorneys and the judge for what appears to be a legitimate inquiry.

            No, I just didn’t think the second part negated the first part. I read it as the defense being to some degree legitimate, but that he was doing so out of self-interest. I was trying to underscore how absurd his so-called defense was.

            In other words, my apologies! I didn’t intend for my attempt at an explanation as criticism of you, or start some pointless quibbling internet argument (because I imagine we’re all tired of those). Take care out there.

        I’ve noticed that the “anything other than complete opposition and full condemnation of everything they say and are associated with = support” mindset is present here, too.
