“Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY,’ or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT,” Trump wrote
Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced on social media he’s searching for a new law firm to represent him in an appeal against last week’s jury verdict awarding $83.3 million to writer E. Jean Carroll.
He left a message to prospective hires in the Truth Social post, writing: “Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either ‘CRAZY,’ or a TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT.” The former president’s announcement follows his vow to appeal the jury’s decision last Friday, predicated by the presiding federal judge’s September ruling finding him liable for defamation.
Trump is being told repeatedly that shutting up is free, and yet he still keeps flapping his jaws.
If I had an AI image generator subscription this is where I’d turn the Thanos/Gamora “everything” meme into Trump’s glamorshots lawyer/Trump discussing what his not shutting up cost him.
Calling something a “Trump case” should become an informal description among lawyers for a hopeless defense of an idiot loudmouth client.
Funny how “Trump card”, having been a been used as something that is a sure absolute win, will turn into the exact opposite. I see people saying it throughout media of the last 30 years. Kids that watch that old stuff in the future will have no fucking idea why they would say that.
Trump Card is going to end up being all the incriminating evidence you left behind.
Bill Clinton left a Trump card all over that dress… :-P
Slick Willy strikes again.
Why is this the second Monical Lewinsky joke I’ve seen on Lemmy today? Did I fall into a time warp?
Happens whenever we’re closeish to an election.
Its like a corrolary of that Godwin’s law. Midway, Monica Lewinsky or something lol
I’m sure all the best lawyers are on truth social
That’s the funniest part of all this. I heard his lawyer talk once, and I could instantly tell she was chosen because she was MAGA, not on legal merits.
Literally the best he can get now are all on truth social lmao
That and Trump probably liked looking at her butt.
“… and it appears that a better lawyer is worth at least seventy eight million dollars” - LegalEagle is not impressed with this representation!
Definitely cray-cray-crazy.
😂🤣😬🤣💀
Are there any lawyers left?
There’s always someone willing to work for free, for ‘exposure’.
There’s also going to be a number of lawyers whose hubris will get the best of them.
It’s New York, he has to post the 83M before he can appeal in a civil case. They don’t let deadbeats waste their court time.
Pardon me if I don’t hold my breath that Trump is actually going to pay. If Carroll gets her money, it will be from some PAC or friendly billionaire who wants to be able to pull the president’s strings.
I think he can still use a bond.
So glad there’s finally stakes for this fucker and also its unfalsifiable. They gettin’ paid no matter wat
It is this kind of news that has allowed me to catch my breath. I no longer see a turnip dictatorship as an inevitability; a real and immediate danger, but one that feels less and less likely.
Likewise, but don’t get complacent. The threat isn’t over yet.
Agreed, 100%. Why it’s still real and immediate, feels like there is some hope. We gotta work for it though.
It just has to get through the Supreme Court, not overturning a fundamental building block of the entire US justice system. Or more likely, stating that the reward “was too much.”
And 3 of them seem to be on his side hell or high water; with a fourth being apparently really quite cheap to buy the loyalty of.
It’s still a very real and persistent threat. Recent polls put him dangerously close, and he did alarmingly well in 2020.
Do not get complacent. We can win, but it is certainly not guaranteed. Stay active, and even contribute (time, money, etc) if possible.
I live in one of the handful of “states that matter” in the electoral college and in 2022 we broke so blue it’s amazing. The GOP here is dead broke and has fallen to infighting. I’m not even sure they’ve worked out who’s in charge after the former leader refused to accept the validity of the vote kicking her out. We are prosecuting fake electors.
It’s almost ridiculous how hard Trump is going to lose Michigan. That’s not the whole election, but it’s a big piece.
It’s certainly looking positive up there. But those Trump voters are still there, and will still go vote for his fascism. You may not see them until then, but they are there. They also tend to not be involved in the rest of the GOP.
All that he needs to do to win Michigan is convince enough people that he can’t/won’t win.
100% true. I just am feeling more like the efforts will pay off than usual. Might just be the good day I’m having :)
And the “vote third party” trolls are out in way more force than they were in 2020 for whatever reason. It already feels worse than peak 2016. I really hope people are inoculated to this shit by now, but I’m not super confident.
I’m almost convinced we’re seeing a targeted misinfo campaign coming from some .ml and Lemmygrad users. The brainwork’s are severe.
There is absolutely no question about this. These users are repeating right wing talking points almost verbatim and these “leftist” spaces protect them by removing anything which challenges their nonsense. We have literally seen this play out once already.
What is their motive for doing so? Having anyone other than Biden winning is a loss to all left leaning agendas nationwide, including theirs.
(And yes I know Biden isn’t very leftist himself, he’s practically a Republican in my mind but he’s the only thing keeping the country from further regressing into an ultraconservative pit of despair.)
Google ‘accelerationism’
turnip dictatorship
Had a chuckle with that typo.
Ain’t a typo, I just won’t type that assholes name :)
Ah. Understand completely. He’s even ruined the normal word of his name.
Small story: My friend has a brother who is very artsy. He makes obscene “turnip” sculptures or items that make a mockery of him. He makes a bunch of them (dozens or more) and then leaves then around town for people to find (NorCal). Those that do will either be mad or laugh.
Anyhow. There’s a story. Not sure of its coolness.
At the very least this old chunk of coal thinks it’s cool :)
If you think about it, that’s an incredibly effective one-man resistance, an individual propaganda machine. My hat’s off to that guy, whoever he is. May his “samizdat” personal art rebellion find its targets well.

Yes, it is ahem the “lawyer’s fault”, right…

It’s not often Trump writes something I agree with, but I have to admit, they are certainly one of those two things.

Yeah but he screwed up the quotes again. Should be:
Any lawyer who takes a TRUMP CASE is either CRAZY, or a ‘TRUE AMERICAN PATRIOT’
The true American patriots are the ones who take the case on the side of the prosecution.
