Did somebody call for the head of Donald Trump on a silver platter — with an apple in its mouth? Sure seems like it, when even the right-wing lawyers that appear on Fox News are pronouncing that Trump is done, stick a fork in him. Oh, how sharper than a serpent’s tooth is an ungrateful Murdoch, right Donald?
Usually Johnathan Turley can be counted upon to sing some glad tidings in Trump’s direction but he is emphatically not doing so today.
Ouch. Oh, and by the way, Trump is not a 76-year-old defendant, his birthday is Wednesday and he’ll be 77. Double 7’s may be good luck in gambling, but not the way Donald has played his hand.
Here is a national security expert, Ryan Goodman, saying he’s never seen anything quite like this before. And a little song and dance routine for you to watch at intermission. We can’t spend all our time studying how Trump is going to rot in prison, right class? We need a few laughs.

Let’s look a bit closer at Goodman’s thread.
2. Meaning all cases of Espionage Act for retention of such documents.
Special Counsel alleges the Iran attack plan is indeed a classified document that Trump shared.👇

4. Poof.
Any hope Trump might have had to claim “advice of counsel” defense will not work.

Let’s see what Walt Nauta does for love and what he does for self-preservation. Call me cynical, I’m banking on the latter.
A Boxes Chorus Line
TRUMP: I want it strong! Make it sharp! Take it on the downbeat! Ready and 5-6-7-8!
WALT NAUTA: I hope I get it.
IVANKA: I need this job.
GIULIANI: Tits and Ass.
ERIC TRUMP: I can do that.
MARK MEADOWS: What I did for love.
TRUMP: 5-6-7-8! Now move! pic.twitter.com/O0z5gPgJYE— Mr. Newberger (@jeremynewberger) June 9, 2023
What a shitshow.
That ‘music’ video deserves wider release.
The thing about the nuclear “football” got me to thinking. Maybe that’s how they convinced Trump to leave the WH. Think about it. There he was saying he’d have to be carried out kicking and screaming and someone in the bunch he’d listen to told him even if Biden moved in he’d (Trump) could still really be President. HIS people would still be out there at their desks, and he could threaten Biden from down in FL – by having control of ALL our nukes! Do you really think he paid attention to briefings on how the nuclear release authority system worked? All he knew was some “loser” who’d joined the military was always were he was with an ugly hard-cover briefcase so he could order the launch of nukes from wherever he was. Milley could have done it up really well with a replica that was really just a panel with some lights and a scanner.
I can easily imagine Trump flying down to Mar A Lago not just with a load of boxes of govt. (including classified) docs and cool stuff he liked stolen from the WH, but patting that “nuclear football” the nice officer left with him just before exiting the airplane. Smugly thinking “you might THINK you’re President now Joe but I’m the one that will be in control cause I’ve got THIS. Get out of line just once and I’ll send one to your house in Delawar to make my point. Imagine his rage the first time he tried to use it and found out it was only just a prop like they’d use in some movie!
do you think he ever found out? His tweet bragging that his Big Red Button worked was quite recent.
The only thing his big red button ever did was get a flunky to bring him a Coke! Or was that some cocaine?!
Coffee and toast go together nicely!
