Trump Keeps Confessing September 18, 2023 By Taegan Goddard
Donald Trump’s lawyers must really wonder why their client insists of doing television interviews.
When Trump told NBC News over the weekend that it was his [decision] — and not that of his lawyers — to challenge the 2020 presidential election result, he torpedoed one of his key legal defenses.
Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe later commented that Trump “just threw his whole ‘following my lawyers’ advice’ defense under the bus.” Then he added: “No, let me correct that: not just under the bus but under a roaring, speeding, ginormous freight train.”
Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann agreed, telling MSNBC it was actually a “twofer” admission because Trump also admitted that he’d demanded the votes stop being counted.
Said Weissmann: “He just said it on air to NBC, stop counting the votes. Well, that’s not allowed.” ====================== It seems to me that Trump’s lawyers must be really hard up to keep working for him. Or flat out incompetent. Either that or Trump is building up his mental incompetence defense. ——Alan
Even before he showed signs of senility, he was a publicity hound. I too am just barely and at times having glimmerings of pity for him; he belongs in a memory care home. [We have become ever more generous in our names for such institutions.] ---Alan
That's really impressive, given how crazy busy pharmacists are. They must really love you.
We're scheduled to get the new Covid vaccine on Sunday afternoon. Sure do hope it's like the last one, for which we had little reaction, and not the ones prior, for which I was down for the count. I've been exhausted lately. Got just 4 hours of sleep last night. Sigh.

Us old folk sometimes say the wrong thing. At a book discussion Saturday I refered to the book's protagonist by the name of another book's protagonist. But the point is, If you're going to accuse Biden and me of senility, you need to apply the same term to Trump.
Gosh, what purdy cake! Thank you ♥

If nothing else, he's compulsive about getting media attention. I'm coming perilously close to feeling sorry for the lying, traitorous bastard.

It's almost as if he wants to be tucked away in a "memory care home." Well, sure...it beats prison.
DeleteAh, Bill, true...and in applying the same term we find we need to use the term a LOT more in DT's case!
