Latest trump defense on classified docs

"I'm a busy guy, I wanted to go thru every single box. Who knows, there was a vast amount of personal stuff.( Like ties) That's what I was looking for. " !Paraphrasing)

In all honesty, to me, best defense ( albeit tons of holes) he's come up with. IMHO. If you've got a better one, explain...

Palmer: Confused Donald Trump says he might cut plea deal in DOJ case if they pay him

https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/confused-donald-trump-says-he-might-cut-plea-deal-in-doj-case-if-they-pay-him/50600/

Donald Trump made his first public appearance after being criminally indicted by the DOJ, and as one might have predicted, it went rather stupidly. Trump oddly made a point of insisting he’ll stay in the 2024 race even though he’s going on trial fairly soon for Espionage Act charges. This felt oddly defensive, given that no one anywhere was expecting him to just drop out immediately after being indicted. But then he said something truly strange.

Trump said he might be willing to cut a plea deal with the DOJ if “they pay me some damages.” No really, he said this. He really said this.

Maybe Trump was trying to be funny. But even if so, what he said still didn’t make sense. He seems to think this is some kind of civil case, where only monetary damages are on the line. He thinks this is negotiable. He doesn’t really appear to understand that he’ll be put on criminal trial, he’ll be found guilty, and he’ll go to federal prison, and the only “negotiation” he could potentially make is a slightly shorter prison sentence in exchange for pleading guilty.

Snip

But all of Trump’s obvious confusion and lack of a human sense of humor aside, he may have given something away here. He seems to be talking about some kind of scenario where he’s paid to go away, which makes you wonder if his endgame really is to get the RNC and its donors to pay him to exit the race rather than continuing to “run” once he’s in prison. We’ll see.

What do you think is a Debbie Downer here?

Someone who expressed frustration that justice for trump has not yet happened and moving too slowly?

That polls are bad for us? And anyone who points that out or just simply tries to post and expound on that is a downer?

Super curious

If you watch CNBC, Pence is a 100% different person.

He's relaxed. Like seemingly savvy? WTF, how multi-personality'd is this guy?

WTF, what an utter fake. What in the world is he thinking? Really thinking?
Does God tell you to be duplicitous?

To me, someone who almost got hung and runs is the epitome of moron. How crazy... He's such an ultimate tool.

What was Ted Kennedy writing?

Moving and going through old boxes. Found my badge from 1988 convention.

We saw Ted Kennedy in the bar drinking with Chris Dodd. So walked in and asked TK to sign my badge.

Wondering now what the second blurb was? Any ideas?

Only way to get Pretty Litter is with subscription?

Absolutely hate fake perfumed smell. Any recommendations for a good sub? I know, probably no cat health diagnostics.

Thought I was doing good with my recycle approach I read about. Box with shredded newspaper and sprinkle of baking soda. Even bought a shredder! Evidently too radical lol
