The president-elect had plenty of time to come up with a compelling response to the special counsel's findings. He did not spend that time wisely.

Summary

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s election interference case, released by the Justice Department, details Trump’s attempts to retain power after losing the election.

Trump responded with late-night social media posts, calling Smith “deranged,” spreading falsehoods about destroyed evidence, and claiming a 2020 election “landslide” victory.

Despite having time to prepare a response, Trump’s reaction consisted of late-night tweets filled with lies and falsehoods.

    It absolutely exhausts me that this traitor is our new president.

    We’ve been on a certain path for a long time, and to be honest, it was probably baked right into our American bones.

    Still sucks though.

    Deranged Jack Smith was unable to successfully prosecute the Political Opponent of his “boss,” Crooked Joe Biden, so he ends up writing yet another “Report” based on information that the Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs ILLEGALLY DESTROYED AND DELETED, because it showed how totally innocent I was, and how completely guilty Nancy Pelosi, and others, were. Jack is a lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election, which I won in a landslide. THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!

    Get me the fuck out of forever kindergarten. I can’t wait to shit on this dude’s grave

      Bold of you to think that you’ll be allowed to celebrate when the cunt dies.

      Unless you’re from outside magastan, you should be preparing for a nice authoritarian state where celebrating the death of the cunt is not allowed, let alone pissing on his grave.

        I would climb through barbed wire, tackle guards, and get shot all just to release my bowels where this ghoul lays. Fuck what is and isn’t allowed. If they dont enthrone him like the Emperor’s corpse on the golden throne I will find a way.

          Why wait until he is dead then if you aren’t concerned with the consequences?

          I mean he might not hold still but, who knows?

            You’ll never believe this, but they don’t guard corpses to the same degree as live people.

              Ok? So your big talk about facing off against armed guards and such was more like “but there won’t be any. And if they do exist they will be sad low paid lackeys that I can give a hard time.” ?

              If it makes you feel better to talk big on the internet, please don’t let me piss in your cornflakes.

                You’re unusually invested in this public bathroom thread. How much does it mean to you that I do or don’t do these things?

                  Lol, oh no, you discovered my deepest fetish.

                  Only… You’ve posted more than me? So… And you are the one who brought it up. And it’s not a public bathroom thread?.. Or it wasn’t until your comment… Hmmm…

                  But frankly, if you successfully shat on Donald Trump while he was still alive and in office, I mean… Fetishes come from somewhere… You could introduce a whole new generation to it!

    It would have been news if he had produced a coherent reply. Incoherent is nothing new. That’s what he does from the moment he wakes up until he falls asleep.

    The president-elect concluded that he won a second term “in a landslide” (he didn’t), adding that American voters “have spoken” — which is true, though not at all relevant in this context, since the electorate’s verdict was not directly related to the defendant’s criminal indictment.

    Um, what? True? He won, yes, but he did not win in a landslide by any definition. He didn’t even win with more than 50% of the voters. Trump won 49.9 percent of the vote… in what world (other than in his own addled mind) is that a landslide?

      What’s with you attempting to factually refute bullshit? Trump wants it to be a landslide, so it’s a landslide, and the lapdog media repeats it.

    it hardly matters what his or any response is, to a document that had no legal weight or ramifications. at this point it’s just an empty tax payer burden that culminates to now trump being our burden because they couldn’t close their case.

    stern look at merrick.
