Now Comes The Appeal Diversion

Trump and his flock are hoping to distract voters from his 34 felony convictions by confidently vowing to win on appeal.

Let’s see now, Trump has appealed every judgement against him, civil or criminal, from shutting down his charity and his bogus university, to two sexual assault awards, 14 counts of criminal fraud against his company, and a massive bank fraud fine — and so far EVERY SINGLE ONE FAILED.

To recap, as a convicted felon Donald Trump now joins his fellow felons — his campaign manager, deputy campaign manager, national security advisor, foreign policy advisor, political consultant, and personal lawyer.

None of them have won their appeals either, although Trump pardoned a few.

Just in time for me to leave for a 4 hour drive.  
But here’s Kessler’s Fact Check on Dumbass’ BS statements about the trial. I don’t have time right now to distill it, but he doesn’t fare well.  But you knew that.

Alas, as illustrated, he’s likely to slip right through.

The world did not end, but more information is coming out about how screwed up sfb is.  His old guy rant of something or other has not received a lot of praise.  Mike Lee and that cult are demanding NYC legal system bow the the Congressional crazy fools, that did not do much before either.

The other day I picked up a pack of great looking pork chops.  I cooked them to perfection and chilled the ones left immediately.  This morning I knew I wanted one for lunch, but did not want to zap it in the uwave machine making it overcooked.  Think, grind the wheels of brain cells. Sous vede.  I have a couple of the heaters, but I use them for keeping photographic chemicals at temperature. Fill a pot of water, start heating, bag up chop, bag up mushy peas. Watch youtube videos, play with computer, and go for an hour.  Lunch was at the correct temperature and my pork chop had not cooked, just heated to correct temperature. Yum.

Blue Bronc, sous vide is Mr. Ivy’s favorite way to cook. He sous vides everything!

Ms Ivy – it is very good way of cooking.  I had never thought of using it to reheat something and not cook it.  Right now I am waiting for the temp to hit 70c so I can make an egg for my salad.  Tonight is weeds, literally some weeds from my yard, along with the usual leaves, stalks, carrots, onions and olives. I like a nice soft boiled egg to top it.

The jurors are heroes.

I have a copy but never actually read Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain, and I certainly did not understand the movie. How I’m thinking about this now and why it’s resonating with me, idk, but I’m going to go back and revisit.

Ivy…. I’ve read Cold Mountain.  I remember it being sad… but also very glad I’d read it.

It’s just a poll, but I like it.

Renee, it is perhaps my vague recollection of this part of the story that’s got me thinking about the book. On a certain level, I’m connecting them as the maggers threatening the jurors. We are in another neo-confederate age or maybe we never left it. 

The Confederate Home Guard is featured in a major role in the novel Cold Mountain (1997) by Charles Frazier and the 2003 film adaptation of the same name, written and directed by Anthony Minghella. Both novel and film are presented from the point of view of a Confederate deserter, and the Home Guards hunting him are characterized as villains.

…These are Dark Days in America!

 
It’s not the epic film he sees it as. It’s just the home movie playing in his head.

From Pogo’s post:

As usual, Trump amps the critique to says it’s the “worst” conflict ever.

He sounds like Saddam Hussein. Mother of all convictions.

“Donald Trump did nothing wrong — there’s nothing wrong. This is everybody saying it, except we have a judge who’s corrupt.”

12 people who looked at the facts say he did 34 things wrong.

We have a judge who’s highly conflicted. He happens to be corrupt. It’s the worst confliction that anybody’s seen. Nobody has ever seen anything like it.
(In 2020, the judge made $35 in political contributions to Democrats, including $15 to Biden’s campaign.)

$35 seems like pocket change to me. Felon must be fond of the old fake rule, one drop taints the whole. At least we can agree we’ve never seen anything like it, lol.
