Trump Finally Describes How FBI Injured Him: By Taking his Celine Dion Picture - emptywheel

The most important part of the hearing in the stolen document case before the 11th Circuit Tuesday came when Chief Judge William Pryor asked what the 11th Circuit should do if they find for DOJ. It seemed to me that because this is an appeal from an injunction for purposes of appellate jurisdiction, what we […]

@emptywheel it's impossible to make this stuff up!

Appreciate that when you use the CW, you provide enough information that I can deduce if the inner content is going to be interesting. Much better than some ultra-vague "us politics" that could be about anything.

@JLab8 Still learning! But beginning to figure out how to make it work.

@emptywheel imo, the norms around CWs here are beyond silly.

I can't imagine anyone would follow your account and *not* want to read this stuff.

What you've done here at least lets me know that there's something interesting inside!

I wouldn't trust Trusty to argue my way out of a wet paper bag!

@DaveHopper @emptywheel This un-ending, and far from over, series of defeats for Trump is very important, I believe, for the health of my country. Critical for citizens to continue speaking out.

“Do you think it’s rare for the target of a warrant to think it’s overreaching?”
Mic drop indeed.
Also is this the only time you have ever posted a Celine Dion clip in a post about a legal proceeding?

@Forbestonow It is undoubtedly the only time I have ever posted a Celine Dion clip, period.

Was just thinking about what conditions a Trump home confinement order might entail. The idea that he might be limited to one form of entertainment for the sentence period, and that is a Celine Dion song, does not distress me.

@emptywheel Feels like the 11th had to stand there and say “sir, this is a Wendy’s” over and over again to ol’ Jim Trusty. I get that he has to make his client’s best argument, but sheesh.

@DaveC @emptywheel The maga will see him as a Liberal and weak because Celine Dion is anti-Trump.

I...thought the title was a JOKE

Jesus, these people

This is why #SarahCooper's lip-syncs of #Trump were the most effective commentary on his ineptitude during the entire presidency: He's so thoroughly asinine that he's beyond parody in the most literal sense

Nothing anyone can make up will be more absurd than what comes out of his (/his lawyer's) mouth

Thanks for what you do, as always

@emptywheel At first I gaped at what I read. Celine Dion picture? Then I read the replies, still silent. Then I finally read the article and it made sense.

That man should be sentenced to nonstop Barry Manilow for life.

(For those who don't get it, this references a classic Bloom County strip. Also, late in its run, guess whose brain was transplanted into the body of Bill the Cat.)
