Guys, I was being somewhat facetious in that I was pointing out the more trivial things that I find incredibly annoying/distasteful/grinds my gears.Where does stealing from a cancer charity rank?Doesn't crack my top 3:I'll believe it when the authorities confirm. Lindell's behavior, no doubt from years of heavy drug abuse, has been unhinged to say the least. It wouldn't surprise me if he was making it up like when he claimed to be attacked. I can't imagine anyone in Trump's inner circle involving him in their plans to overthrow the country.Developing headline on Drudge right now reads

“I think if it happened, I think you’d have problems in this country the likes of which perhaps we’ve never seen before. I don’t think the people of the United States would stand for it.”
I'm willing to find out.
I detest a million things about this mountebank, but hyperbole like this just rankles me in particular. We had a little thing here called "THE CIVIL WAR" which was horrendous. 5 years of our country torn apart at the seams. Americans killing Americans. Six hundred thousand soldiers dead. And this circus barker thinks we've never seen the magnitude of problems here his arrest will usher in? Nonsense. He speaks like nobody here has access to a history book.
1. Errant capitalization in tweets;
2. Cheating at golf;
3. Not paying people for their services (extra disdain for him ripping off his lawyers).
If we're being serious then my number one would be him getting elected president following by the inciting a riot, baselessly claiming Democrats cheated, stealing from charities, possibly withholding top secret documents, etc.
Serious business
You golfers REALLY do take cheating seriously, tho. Be fair. Rick Riley called him the biggest cheat he's ever seen.

There once was a mountebank named Trump
Whose general physique was quite plump
A Montblanc pen he'd use
To sign off on his ruse
A classic con by Don, king of the pump and dump

I agree. Not sure why you quoted me. I was only questioning the pillow fella's claim about the FBI seizing his phone. When I first read it, sounded like a cry for attention from his BFF Trump because I didn't realize , but was immediately informed here, just how close he was to FPOTUS.I'll believe it when the authorities confirm.

Well, he can't hire Powell or Giuliani because they're co-defendants in the Dominion cases, plus Giuliani got disbarred in DC and Powell is probably getting disbarred. Team Trump is running out of lawyers. But yeah, some new characters would be nice.

What to know about Judge Raymond Dearie, the Mar-a-Lago search special master
Dearie, 78, a former chief judge of the federal court in the Eastern District of New York, was one of the special master candidates suggested by Trump whom the Justice Department did not object to.

"If you asked both prosecutors and lawyers, they would say the same thing, that he is just so fair," Weissmann said. "It's unusual to have a judge where both sides just have enormous praise for somebody."
This reminds me of what people said about Robert Mueller when he was appointed.

If Trump's team suggested him I'm dubious.
Considering their other nominee had horrible conflicts, they were trying to get them to accept him. There has to be a reason. He was involved in the Carter Page FISA approval, so I’m guessing if they don’t like the ruling they will claim he is biased against Trump, appeal and delay.

Wow, I didn't realize that Trump's lawyers argued in court that Trump could in fact murder people without repercussion.
Lindsey Graham said Trump could 'kill 50' members of the GOP and 'it wouldn't matter': book
Years later, his lawyers defended that remark, saying in a court hearing that he could not be investigated or criminally prosecuted if he did in fact shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue.
"At the time, Judge Denny Chin pressed Trump lawyer William Consovoy on the limits of presidential immunity, referencing Trump's remarks about shooting someone.
"Nothing can be done, that's your position?" Chin asked Consovoy, Insider's Sonam Sheth reported.
"That is correct, that is correct," Consovoy replied."

The admiration of DJT by about 30 -35% is historical in the sense that he is likely the most despicable person to have that amount of admiration in US history.

Trying to think of others. These came to mind:
1. Columbus
2. Pete Rose
3. Michael Jackson
4. Roman Polansky
5. Alfred Hitchcock
Debatable:
1. Robert E. Lee (I think it is hard to post-judge him now, but obviously what he did was pretty objectively bad)
2. Joseph McCarthy (Did he maintain his admiration?)
3. John Wayne (seems still beloved when he was really, really terrible to people - mostly women)
5. Mother Theresa (maybe not truly despicable so doesn't qualify, but definitively overrated)
6. Walt Disney (racist and misognystic)
7. Elvis (hebephile)

Trump attorneys don't want to disclose which Mar-a-Lago documents he claims to have declassified
Donald Trump’s attorneys said in a filing Monday night that they don’t want to disclose to a court-appointed special master which Mar-a-Lago documents they assert the former president may or may not have declassified.In a four-page letter to the special master, Trump's attorneys pushed back against Senior U.S. District Judge Raymond Dearie's apparent proposal that they submit “specific information regarding declassification” to him in the course of his review.
Dearie issued an order Friday summoning both parties to the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, New York, for a preliminary conference Tuesday.
