Hahahahahahaha! "Atlas, Thugged."
Atlas, Thugged: Trump versus the Libertartians.
Spoiler: Trump lost.

DJT is complaining that he can’t just blame everything on his lawyers with a reliance on counsel defense.
That’s not a very confident thing to be posting on Sunday night on Memorial Day weekend….which is odd because the entire conservative media has been assuring us his defense team DESTROYED Bragg’s case.
===
Also,
DJT wrote a Memorial Day message. It wasn’t about the Soldiers who died serving this country, including under him.
Not even a little bit.
No….it was ENTIRELY about him and his problems.
The guy is a narcissistic scumbag unworthy of being president, and everyone knows it.

Roberta Kaplan, E. Jean's lawyer, is on it!
After Trump, who arrived in NY last night, attacked E Jean Carroll again on Truth Social today, her lawyer Roberta Kaplan says, "We have said several times since the last jury verdict in January that all options were on the table. And that remains true today -- all options are on the table."

So a tweet someone made in jest over the weekend about Turley providing Shade to FIDJT actually comes to pass.
These are extraordinary times, when the survival of our democratic republic is in jeopardy from a mentally ill authoritarian being propped up by propagandists paid to shill for him by a right-wing network owned by foreigners.

Oopsie!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
NBC News: Just hours after Trump asked libertarians for their party's nomination and votes, the party chair said he never submitted the appropriate paperwork to actually be considered at the party's nominating convention.

This is a really long and detailed analysis of what might happen in the hush money trial this week. They lay out various possibilities, likely arguments and potential outcomes. The opening paragraph:
What to Expect in the Closings at the Trump Trial www.justsecurity.org/…
Last week, both the prosecution and the defense rested their cases in former President Donald Trump’s New York trial for allegedly falsifying business records (FBR) in his effort “to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election,” in the words of Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan’s case summary. At closing arguments starting Tuesday morning, Trump’s defense team (likely lead counsel Todd Blanche) will go first and make its final bid to the jury. They will be followed by the People, led by their most experienced prosecutor, Joshua Steinglass (as was stated during the opening statement). Then at the end of the day Tuesday or more likely Wednesday morning, Merchan will charge the jury with reaching a verdict according to legal instructions he will provide.

Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival this week.
* This is surprisingly great publicity for the film’s producers: “Attorneys for Donald Trump have sent a cease and desist letter to the filmmakers behind ‘The Apprentice’ in an effort to block its U.S. sale and release. It warns the team behind the film not to pursue a distribution deal, according to two people who have read the letter. ‘The Apprentice,’ which looks at Trump’s early years as a real estate developer and his relationship with Roy Cohn, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this week.” www.msnbc.com/...
No trailer has been released, but here's an Inside Edition summary.
Followed by a brain cleanse.
