Dear Debbie and Dick Downer

[malaise]

Not tonight. Spare us please
We are celebrating history and consequences tonight.
That is all

[mcar]

1. Thank you my friend

[malaise]

6. Weissmann nailed it

😀😀😀👍

[mcar]

11. He sure did

[LowerManhattanite]

62. Down to the DAY.

He said Thursday.

[NJCher]

92. I have noticed Weissmann's face for days

For the last couple days he has been elated. Weissmann is not exactly an emotive type, but it amused the daylights out of me to see that happiness was fighting to break out on his normally dispassionate, neutral face.

[malaise]

101. Agree

Folks visibly exhaled - consequences at last

[lapucelle]

2. You forgot to make it "pellucidly clear"...

[malaise]

12. Did that earlier

😀😀😀😀

[Cha]

3. Yeah, Really..

smh at anyone jumping on the Downer Band Wagon right now.

[malaise]

28. Agree

😀😀

[Drum]

4. ...

[malaise]

26. Cheers 😀

[Joinfortmill]

5. Amen, brother.

[malaise]

9. Sister

[Blue Owl]

7. Cheers Malaise -- you've been calling it all along

[malaise]

13. More than a few of us

[Abigail_Adams]

54. You are quite the artiste!

[3catwoman3]

59. An emoji version of a happy dance!

Love it 💐

[PortTack]

8. Speak it!!

[LakeArenal]

10. 🥂🍾🇺🇸🗽🗽⚖️

[edhopper]

14. I am often among them

But yes, not tonight.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

70. Frosting on our cake that's 20 tiers now! nt

[Pathwalker]

15. [phone]

What you said!

[malaise]

18. Jen Psake's face

That’s what happiness looks like.
Decent people exhaled with this news

[FelineOverlord]

16. Celebration!

[malaise]

24. Love it

😀

[peacebuzzard]

25. ❤️ great song, and so apropos

[asiliveandbreathe]

17. NOT ME..looky looky..

Feast your eyes ...so all this drama may be just that..drama..would DC have been a MORE friendly venue..who the hell knows..

https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/results/state/florida

2020 Presidential votes ..+7% Biden
Miami/Dade
Biden 53.4% - 617,863
Pig 46.1% - 532,833

Broward - WOOOOOOWWWWW - +30% Biden
Biden 64.6% - 618,782
pig 34.8 - 333,409..

Palm Beach...+13%
Biden 56.1 - 433,672
pig 43.3 - 334,711

[wnylib]

36. Whatever.

[asiliveandbreathe]

55. More than whatevah..the more info the bettah..might HELP others..

The U.S. Constitution guarantees trial by jury and venue "... in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed in any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed" (Article III, section 2, clause 3).

Thanks for the feedback, though..

[wnylib]

81. Then here's some more feedback. I have confidence in the ability of DOJ to

vet the jury members for biases, regardless of where a trial is held. Jack Smith is a pro.

[asiliveandbreathe]

90. Yep..problem re- "venue", change to FL, smart.. pro Smith..and DOJ ..

Vetting jurors..as many have already talked of tonight..Enron..previous cases..Manafort.."I left my maga hat in the car" juror....juror in the E Jeanne Carroll case..RW podcast listener..charges UNANIMOUS..so there is that..

[Laura PourMeADrink]

73. And then there was DeSantis " winning" MD

[usonian]

19. Forget Debbie and Dick Downer

My "neighbors" Doug & Wendy Whiner are not happy tonight.

TBH, they never are.

But they gots more to whine about.

[malaise]

21. Doug and Wendy Whiner😀😀😀

😀😀😀.

[babylonsister]

20. ...

[malaise]

22. Back at yah😀

[ProudProgressiveNow]

23. KR NT

[Mr.Bill]

27. The location just makes me all that much more

confident that Jack Smith really has the goods on Trump.

[malaise]

31. Yep

Oh Happy Day!😀

[InstantGratification]

104. Sing along

[badhair77]

29. I'm having my own celebration here. I kicked

Debbie and Dick to the curb long ago. Celebrating tonight and after Tues then on to Georgia! Woohoo! I can’t keep track of them all.

[malaise]

33. Same here

😀😀

[malthaussen]

30. Been a long time coming. I have waited for an official announcement for years...

... literally, years. Now that box is checked off. Glad I lived long enough to see it.


-- Mal

[malaise]

32. Same here

I exhaled😀😀

[RANDYWILDMAN]

34. This is a sad day

and it should have happened with Nixon first and they should have put him in jail as well.

I hope they put this criminal in jail !

[CanonRay]

35. Chivas on the rocks!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

[malaise]

42. THIS

You’re so right😀

[Cha]

44. Mahalo, malaise..

[mcar]

51. Getting all their ducks in a row

[Cha]

61. Yes, the Proverbial Ducks!

[Warpy]

39. Pat Robertson is still dead and TFG has been indicted on 7 counts

Is anyone on DU complaining about either of these things?

I think not.

[malaise]

48. That this criminal narcissistic monster is finally facing consequences

before he croaks makes me unbelievably happy😀😀😀

[wnylib]

40. A gift for the Downers who are disappointed that

their negativity was not confirmed.

[halfulglas]

[Cha]

45. Facial tissues.. lol

[mzmolly]

43. .

[Demsrule86]

46. Thank you malaise...tonight we celebrate the rule of law and the idea that no man or woman

is above the law. And you my dear malaise have made that "pellucidly clear''.

[malaise]

49. Bwaaaah

+1,000

chortles wickedky

[Laura PourMeADrink]

75. Like that! Think Smiths balls are bigger than Mueller's?

[Hekate]

52. Cheers, my dears

[malaise]

58. Cheers

[sarcasmo]

53. He prefers Richard Downer.

[jayschool2013]

56. Nobody likes a Dick Downer

That is all.

[malaise]

57. Hehehhe

Nicely played😀😀😀

[ecstatic]

60. I am smiling

Just hearing about all the breaking news. Lock him up!! It's been a SUPER LONG journey, but I think we're getting closer to where we need to be. I truly believe it's because we truly believed that it had to be done, regardless of politics or what's convenient. trump is facing justice, again. And possibly again in Georgia. I feel satisfied and calm. Like relief. I'd like to thank Merrick for stepping aside and appointing Jack Smith and not some clown stooge who would dither and fuck everything up *assuming the rumors of indictment are true.

[orleans]

63. i tend to be a glass half empty person

and i am SO GLAD to hear this news!

[spanone]

64. 👍🏼...K&R...👍🏼

[WestMichRad]

66. It's a sad statement that our country has arrived at this point.

I will be so glad when that arsehole is no longer in the news.

[malaise]

72. I agree with Weissman

It’s a great night for the rule of law.
Ford should never have pardoned Nixon.

[WestMichRad]

76. Yes, I agree with that.

Letting high profile criminal activity go unpunished only emboldens others to behave badly.

[lees1975]

67. Thrilled with the indictment.

May there be more, and may it end up as a conviction.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

68. Same as the sexual assault deal. Just savor it for one effin night! nt

[barbtries]

71. consider this:

prosecutors don't bring charges unless and until they are practically certain to get a conviction. It's still 2023, time to get this to court before any election. and: trump is going to spend the rest of his pathetic horrific life in a world of hurt, terrified and rage filled, as his cult shrinks and shrinks to nothing and eventually history records him with a series of asterisks after his name for all the crimes, lies, bodies (unnecessary deaths from COVID and others), impeachments, incitements, lawyers, etc, etc, etc. EVEN if he doesn't get locked up, which we all hope dearly that he does. or dies. he could die and that would be okay too.

[malaise]

74. Great post

[Murphyb849]

77. Oh, Donald.

[electric_blue68]

87. Bwaaaaahahahaaaaaa! 😄 Tiedrich.... "ooops". TY!

[diva77]

78. I wonder whether ketchup is served in jails?

[relayerbob]

79. Yep!

[H2O Man]

82. Recommended.

I agree. I mean, I like the cartoon character Eeyore, but not the real life versions.

[raising2moredems]

83. This is indictment round one...

Strictly related to classified docs/obstruction. One if not two more shoes will fall - J6 and *possibly* what impeachment #1 didn't have to nail the pussy boy pukes vote to be "guilty". This one or two will be filed in DC. So if on the very slam chance TFOG walks in FL, he'll walk to a cell in DC.

[llmart]

85. So sorry I missed the beginning of this thread when you first posted.

But I just had to call my sister who lives out of state and we spent three hours on the phone CELEBRATING! We laughed and joked and rehashed all that we've been through with this mfer squatting in our White House and just hung up saying now we can't wait to see the next steps and next indictments. You'd think we were having a long distance party or something.

He better end up serving time is all I can say.

I might not be able to sleep tonight

[TomSlick]

86. I see and I believe.

Happy Smithmas!

[electric_blue68]

88. FINALLY!💃💃💃💃💃 Serious, Serious Joy!⚖️🏛️🤸

[Laura PourMeADrink]

89. By the way... This is very

offensive to rational, thinking people on DU who are labeled downers just because they are realists.

Love u of course, but hate title of post. Amen.

❤️

[NJCher]

93. this development

proves you're not a realist.

This is real. He got indicted.

Constant negative, hopeless comments indicate that some people don't realize that words and thoughts have power. Think negative? Life and outcomes are negative.

I have always wondered why anyone would engage in such self-defeating behavior.

There's a term for it in psychology: the self-fulfilling prophecy. This is not woo (not that there's anything wrong with woo). It is in college textbooks in first and second year courses!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

95. Of course he got indictment. What the what. Never

ever see "CONSTANT" negative remarks. What site are you referring to?

Ha... Was the first to say, take a night and just enjoy that he got indicted for sexual assault!

Please post 3 DU links that show constant negative remarks

[NJCher]

96. 3 du links

not gonna' hijack this thread.

If you think it doesn't apply to you, then go with it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

97. Ha knew it.

[NJCher]

102. I'm glad

You knew I wouldn’t take up my time with such silliness. Good for you.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

105. Not silly to ask someone to prove their derogatory accusations

IMHO

[malaise]

114. This wasn't for rational posters

Just downers😀😀

[Laura PourMeADrink]

115. Ok. Didn't realize in a million years that anyone

who complained that it all was taking so long was a Debbie Downer. That trump has yet to see justice. Maybe you're referring to something else?
Downers not related to trump? Maybe taking wrong and it was just joyous ! Hope

Bottom line - no one not ecstatic that trump indicted - just wish you hadn't added that veiled diss.

[malaise]

116. There were folks who said he would never be indicted

Blah blah blah!

[Bristlecone]

91. I will give you credit. You have said from day one

“Let me make it peluvifly clear, the SKO father is going down”

Love it!

[betsuni]

94. The Downer world: oligarchs/establishment elites rig and control everything, here's Carlin's

"American Dream" clip again, collapse, "screwed," corruption, anger, etc. Of course such persons might be a little touchy.

Did not appreciate the mocking legal experts received. The rule was, if I don't know something happened, it didn't because I'm right about everything.

This is an extremely powerful frightening international criminal organization Trump/Republicans are part of. Don't know why anyone thought it was going to be quick or easy.

[herding cats]

98. Why did I not know the male version if a Debbie downer was a Dick?

I don't know how I missed that for 50 years, but I'm so happy to have it added to my lexicon now!

My thanks malaise!

[malaise]

113. Bwaaaaah

Related to Nixon?😀😀😀

[orangecrush]

99. +1

[ShazzieB]

100. AMEN TO THIS!!!

I just want to celebrate tonight! 🍾 🥳 🎉

[malaise]

109. Love it

😀😀

[DownriverDem]

106. I'm not a downer,

I'm a realist. Who would be the best repub candidate for Biden to run against? That is really what we should be thinking about.

[BobTheSubgenius]

107. In a sane world, any of them.

[EmmaLee E]

110. Sanity is not an option ...

In this

[BobTheSubgenius]

108. My wife is not exactly an exuberant type, but she'll be happy with this for a while.

On election night, 2016, she cried all night. Her politics aren't front and center; her tears were mainly for her two youngest grands, who are half PR.

Happily, they never suffered any ill treatment, and were too young to get the inherent danger of it all. I'm happy to say that they are not only flourishing.

They are passionate about their interests (dance, music and cheerleading) and are crushing it scholastically...not a single bit of all that thanks to any Republican.

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

111. "Calling out around the world,

Are you ready for a brand new treat ?

Indictments are here
And the time is right for dancing in the streets."

112. Yes indeed

😀😀
