Now I know why Trump wanted to attend the Supreme Court hearing today.

He wanted to take notes for a to-do list in the hopes he becomes President again.

1. Assassinate a political rival? Check

2. Stage a military coup? Check

3. Sell nuclear secrets to an adversary? Check


(To be fair, 2 and 3 he's already come close to at this point.)

As long as he gives out a position or something that is "official".

Sick Fuck debated Joe Biden while sick with COVID, without a mask and without informing anyone of his condition.

7. Conspiracy theory?

MTG was ranting last week about The “Democrat” party wanted to kill the “Fart Master”. Jesse Waters ranted about the trial exposing the “No Fracking required to Release Gas reservoir” TSF, to high rise buildings adjacent to court, were Dems could take him out.
Are they being directed by their leader Pootie, (Vlad, not the one pooting in court) to put it in MAGA minds that IF TSF is taken out it’s a Dem plan?
When the puppet is of no more use to Vlad, if he loses or is in jail, how much benefit would it be to Vlad to have him eliminated and frame Dems, to put a finale nail in the coffin to end America with an all out internal war and Nation Collapse?
They are very proficient at eliminating people.

12. Just caught the final "concerns" of justice Alito on CNN

Something about opening the door to “bitter political rivals” throwing their opponents in jail after an election rather then letting them retire gracefully. What a bald face mischaracterization of the situation tRump finds himself in. There is no “bitter political rival” going after him. He has a life long history of ignoring and breaking the law; his past is finally catching up to him. Let the courts decide if he has broken the law, and what his punishment should be.

This is classic MAGA misdirection. The logic goes: Donald Trump is a great man, an honest man, a man of integrity, so if he is being accused of crimes and brought to trial it HAS to be a conspiracy against him, regardless of the evidence. This attempt to grant immunity is pure tRump logic; he can do no wrong, so he can’t be held accountable.

Finally, since Alito himself brought it up; tRump is NOT gracefully retiring, he’s once again seeking the highest office in the land, after all his crimes, after encouraging and probably planning a coup to throw out the results of a fair election, and he wants to do so via Supreme Court decree that everything he’s done is protected by presidential immunity.

Shove your concern up your ass, Alito. No one is above the law, least of all a criminal traitor. A president should be held to a higher standard, not emboldened to abuse the power of the office.

... for his own peace of mind. How effective it would be is an open question (I have my doubts) and now hypothetical.
