Are there enough pillows to assure Trump a soft landing

 

Reminder: If you are new to my blog, hopefully having liked the 1,700 stories I posted on Daily Kos before being banned for life for this story and followed me here, I'd appreciate it if you could share this website with your friends.

Are there enough pillows to assure Trump a soft landing?

Can Mr. Pillow provide Trump with enough pillows to assure he has a soft landing what with all the news going out about the legal peril he's in growing exponentially?

'Most worried Trumpworld has ever been' -- and they're waiting for 'another shoe to drop': MSNBC's Lemire

... even trying to avoid the trap of wishful thinking and setting myself up for heartbreaking disappointment it does't appear that Trump is in more jeopardy of losing a major chunk of his support. I wondered if even the deepest pile of pillows suppled by Mr. Pillows, whose cell-phone was just confiscated by FBI agents while he was in the drive-through line at a Hardee's restaurant in Mankato, Minnesota, will give him his usual cushy landing.

There Is More Than Enough Evidence to Indict Trump

and this:

'Charge Trump now': Legal expert says DOJ shouldn't wait for midterms to indict former president

The malignant narcissist who fancies himself as invulnerable probably is in deep denial that he could end up like his pal Steve The Aggrieved Bannon doing what would be the most famous  perp walk in history.

The last time Trump was figurative and literally on his back was in the Vince McMahan and Stone Cold Steve Austin wrestling nonsense. Who could forget this?

 

Donald Trump, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon spent months promoting The Battle of the Billionaires.

If you can stand it, watch the videos in this article and ask yourself how in Holy Hell did this man become president.

The article actually provided me with the only photo I could find of Trump on his back to put together this illustration for the headline.

Quotable Quote for Today is From Salon and is related to President Biden's better poll ratings. The better the Biden and the Democrats do the worse it is for Trump and his prospects of staying both relevant and holding sway over a significant percentage of the GOP leadership and Republicans who are tiring of his ever more unhinged schtick. The Revelations in the news coming from the new Peter Baker and Susan Glaser book, The Divider, may also hurt him. 

While the story about how the Cabinet considered invoking the 25th Amendment not long after Trump was elected and how John Kelly referred to the book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" to better understand how to deal with him won't make headline news but they continue to the drip-drip-drip of bad news coming out about him

From Brian Karen in Salon

It is hard to understand a political party that cheers against American success, but that, in a nutshell, is today's Republican Party. "God, we need Trump back," I heard from a Trump minion Tuesday. I hear that every day, of course, from the handful of Trumplicans who still exist outside mental institutions and the Deep South.

We don't need Trump anywhere — except behind bars. And there is a world of difference between Biden and Trump on the stump. Biden is a politician with a wealth of experience in serving the country. He is adept at public speaking and knows how to reach people empathically.  When Biden says, as he did on Tuesday, that he really believes the best is yet to come for the United States — stressing each word as he says it — it's easy to see why his supporters are so optimistic. You believe he means it.

The news gets even worse for Trump.

From The Washington Post about the charges Trump and Co. face in Georgia.:

No decision will be made for months on whether there will be indictments — and, most notably, if Trump himself will face charges. At least 17 people have been notified they are targets of the criminal investigation, meaning they could eventually face charges. And more targets will be added to the list soon, Willis said in an interview Tuesday in her Atlanta office.

For those who don't subscribe here's a summary:

Previously, Willis suggested that the elector's scandal, the pressuring of officials and threats against election officials could be prosecuted using Georgia's conspiracy and anti-racketeering or RICO laws. 

“The RICO statute allows you to tell jurors the full story” of a complex conspiracy, Willis explained. “It’s a great statute for prosecutors."

The question Trump ought to be asking himself is whether any of his cohorts in crime want to do time in a place like this to prove their unwavering loyalty to him.

It keeps getting better and better:

My comment to above article:

It has not been a good news day for Trump and it could get worse:

Excerpt:

Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig and former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal explained that it was almost certain based on the information that was included in the Justice Department court filings that they most likely had an inside source. 

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Thursday, Leonnig said it might be the reason that folks reportedly said Trump was "unhappy and displeased" while he was at his Virginia golf course this week. 

"While there are a lot of conspiracy theories floating around about why he was there, his mood is pretty obvious," Leonnig explained. "He is on multiple fronts under investigation. And he knows, based on all the subpoenas flying around, and some were returned, including Mark Meadows, the request by DOJ for texts, all these things flying around have given the Department of Justice a lot of information. He must know by now as well, Nicole, that somebody in his inner circle, somebody close to him, close to him at Mar-a-Lago, close to him in his White House has been cooperating with the Department of Justice to make clear that there was a high degree of certainty that they would find classified records. Still at Mar-a-Lago after Donald Trump's lawyers insisted they had done a diligent search and none were to be found."

Trump, being a malignant narcissist and having the judgment of a gnat can't help but making it worse for himself. I am sure that if his new $3 million lawyer was advising him, and he was heeding this advice he wouldn't be saying things like this from "Trump threatens DOJ against indictments: 'You'd have problems the likes of which you have ever seen before'"

On Thursday, in an interview with right-wing talk radio host Hugh Hewitt, former President Donald Trump appeared to issue a vague threat to the Justice Department against indicting him.

Trump said that "I would have no prohibition against running," when he asked whether he would still run for office with an indictment.

"I think, if it happened, you'd have problems in this country the likes of which, perhaps, you have ever seen before," said Trump. "I don't think the people of the United States would stand for it."

When Hewitt asked Trump to elaborate, he said, "Big problems."

The stories have been breaking fast, furious, and fabulous all day. As you can see I find RawStory the best place to follow such news since they are the progressive website that keeps up with all the other media which publishes such articles. Check this one out:

Excerpt:

The whole situation, argued Brennan, is similar to the behavior Trump exhibited during the Russia investigation — and in that case, as well, seasoned prosecutors who investigated the matter concluded that the former president and his allies had likely committed obstruction.

"You are talking about the investigation into Russian interference in the election and Bill Barr's blatant mischaracterization what the Mueller Report found, the Mueller Report found although there was collusion, there wasn't the evidence that he was able to uncover for criminal conspiracy," said Brenna. "I would think criminal conspiracy here in terms of trying to avoid any type of understanding that these documents were in Mar-a-Lago is something that I think Donald Trump and others are vulnerable to potential future indictment."
