That's an actual painting? Where is that from? Was it painted by a True Believer, or was it some sort of satire? Seems like the sort of thing Sasha Baron Cohen might have had created as part of some stunt.
Looks like a John McNaughton painting and it’s not a joke. If you want a nice look into crazy town google that guy.

It does look an awful lot like one of his paintings, but I don't think it's one of his paintings. Can't find in gallery of his paintings.

To be fair, to my uninformed eye, that one looks technically inferior to the ones I just found. Similar crazy too-much-cheese-for-supper-nightmare thematically, sure, but those I just googled seemed better painted (on this one Trump-Jesus seems to have a xenomorph writhing around under his skin).

But these seem truly bonkers, and I now can't tell if _they_ are meant straight or are some sort of hallucinogenic satire. That they seem technically not-bad makes it far worse. For someone to put that much effort into them, really suggests this is a cult that seriously takes over people's entire being...(unless they are in fact satire - intended to mock that very aspect of Trumpery - but then it makes one wonder about the reverse problem, as it still seems an insane amount of effort to go to to mock a dying cult of a failed President...)

Two Views of Christmas

President Joe Biden on Twitter: “There is a certain stillness at the center of the Christmas story: a silent night when all the world goes quiet. And all the clamor, everything that divides us, fades away in the stillness of a winter’s evening. I wish you that peace this Christmas Eve.”

Donald Trump on Truth Social: “Merry Christmas to EVERYONE, including the Radical Left Marxists that are trying to destroy our Country, the Federal Bureau of Investigation that is illegally coercing & paying Social and LameStream Media to push for a mentally disabled Democrat over the Brilliant, Clairvoyant, and USA LOVING Donald J. Trump, and, of course, The Department of Injustice, which appointed a Special ‘Prosecutor’ who, together with his wife and family, HATES ‘Trump’ more than any other person on earth. LOVE TO ALL!”

Another big lie from The Diaper Don. There are many people who hate Trump more than Jack Smith and family.

“Clairvoyant”? does he have any clue what that word actually means? He's starting to make it as difficult as he can for his sycophants to maintain their worship of him in the face of the whole world mocking the shit out of him.

Plus ... “Clairvoyant” is an admission that he has supernatural powers (just like declassifying documents with his mind), so I'm assuming all the “witch hunts” are perfectly justified!

Since he can see into the future gotta wonder how he missed COVID and his own election loss.

I'll just drop this one here.


16 of Trump's lawyers have been fined/sanctioned/penalized by courts. Others are in legal trouble, like Christina Bobb in relation to the documents case, who has had to hire her own lawyer.

The risks of working as a lawyer for Trump, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen previously told Insider, comes from the mogul's refusal to take a loss.

"For Donald, the only option is victory at any cost," Cohen, who was disbarred following a criminal conviction based on actions he took on Trump's behalf, told Insider. "This even includes having counsel act in ways detrimental to their reputation and career."

It’s not his unwillingness to take a loss, it’s his lawyers’ willingness to gamble their careers in the hopes of getting in on the grift.

Trump is like the sun in the tale of Icarus - his lawyers get too close to the grift, and they just get burned.

He clearly doesn't give a shit about anyone else and will happily throw them under the bus for the slightest gain for him. That's all fairly obvious.
What I don't understand is why people keep working with him when the outcome is always the same?

They’re proving their loyalty and figure it will pay off when he gets back into power, or that’s the only rational thing I can think of.

A few like Wood, Giuliani, Powell, etc do appear to have legitimately bought into the stolen election thing.

I don't think Giuliani and Powell bought any of it. Both of them made shit up, flat out, during TV interviews. For example, Powell said on Fox News that she had an audiotape of the CEO of Dominion saying he could change millions of votes in minutes. But of course she never had any such thing.

There's also testimony that Giuliani admitted they had no evidence to back their fraud claims.

I wish they would go ahead and charge Trump of well just about everything he deserves to be charged with which is quite a lot.

Yeah that crew were just sellers, not buyers. Just like the true grifters they are and surround themselves with, they know the product they are peddling is straight horse shit.

Yeah I think it is pretty clear that they think that this is how politics is played and the only thing that mattered is if they won.

In that respect I think they were right - if they had pulled it off Trump would obviously never have prosecuted them and honestly Republicans probably never would have left the White House again because there would never be another legitimate election.

In Jan. 6 testimony. the AZ speaker of the house Rusty Bowers, testified Guiliani said we have no evidence, but we have theories.

There is nothing illegal with making shit up on tv; though depending on what you do say you might be sued for slander (which is civil issue); however making such statements under oath is another matter. It appears that neither did such; though they did bring what is consider frivolous lawsuit which again is not illegal but can get you censored, on the hook for legal fees and disbarred.

Anyway with luck Dominion will win their lawsuit against them and fox (and there is some dandy stuff coming out in the Fox lawsuit that shows just how complacent fox was at bring these false accusations).
