And in Miami...the circus has already started... the courthouse has received one bomb threat.
Trump's Federal Arraignment.
49 pages...37 counts and 31 of them Espionage.
...Jesus wept...
And the usual suspects, Kari Lake, and, of course, Lunatic Loomer...shown up to defend their lying, cheating, grifting, narcissistic self-appointed messiah.
He keeps mentioning Jesus..maybe someone needs to clue him in that it ended rather badly for JC.
...just saying...
Baking brownies and watching the freak-show.
The bomb threat has turned out to be a hoax.
Not sure if the pig head is real or rubber but it will be in the high nineties today...so by 3 we should know.
...so will the crowd...
The flag cape is definitely a Code Violation.
Miami's mayor has just released a statement that he will not tolerate violence of any kind from the protesters, and it will result in immediate arrest.
They have placed no barricades at all at the courthouse...only yellow police tape.
The Secret Service was NOT happy.
As of noon..AP is reporting that journalists still outnumber the protesters outside.
Christopher Kise has agreed to represent Trump...so he now has an attorney.
The brownies smell amazing...and there is ice-cream.
...who knew arraignments were fattening????
Originally thinking four buses were needed...they have now settled on 2 and the Republican Assembly are busing Trump supporters from areas like Orlando to Miami.
Trump release a statement that he is Not Guilty and will plead Not Guilty.
Trump, stayed up well into last night berating Jack Smith, bemoaning the unfairness of being indicted...and of course, a last minute grift.
Donate Now!
...donations won't save you this time...maybe they can be added to your commissary later, though...
And...he has lost Susan Murkowski who is VERY concerned, now.
...eyes rolling...
McCarthy when asked about the indictment minutes ago deflected the question and summoned up Clinton and Biden.
...of course he did...
Chris Christie, seeing the flabby exposed underbelly of his opponent...quickly tweeted:
Loser. Loser. Loser.
And before 3:00 Trump was formally arrested and booked.
He entered a plea of Not Guilty.
...right..
DeSantis and Haley have both said they would pardon him if elected. They are calling it proactive pardoning.
...like I needed another excuse not to vote for either of you...
Now...the million dollar question...will they turn him loose...or refuse bail???
And overhead shot of the crowd reveals it to be small...in the low hundreds...with still more reporters than actual protesters...
And McConnell refuses to issue a statement at all concerning today's events.
The crowd has been subdued...quiet...not rowdy.
...I think I feel good about that...
And there he goes...out of the courthouse...O.R ed...characterized as defiant...free to bitch and moan and grift at Bedminster tonight.
...sigh...
And you wonder why he does not take any of this seriously....
Well...at least the brownies were delicious.
Stayed up entirely too late and watched his bitch,moan and whine fund-raiser at Bedminster...OMFG
IDK who is sadder.
Him, or the people who STILL support his grifting ass.
They milled about for 2 hours...he was 2 hours late...when he did arrive did he apologize for making them wait???
No.
He simply launched into the same list of grievances he has been bemoaning for years...attacked his well-worn enemies list (now including Jack Smith and Smith's wife) and played poor me for about 45 minutes.
I'm just tired.
So damned done with him...but more than anything...just tired!!!
