He’s too scared, he’s a fraidy cat. A real man would just forge ahead and prove all these naysayers wrong. A real man would just tell them what they need to hear about his side of the story, and maybe present a bunch of documents that will prove how wrong they are for doubting the utter honesty of a man of his stature.

You tell them, Donny. Don’t listen to silly lawyers that are all agin you anyway.

For real I absolutely cannot wait to see what unhinged nonsense he incriminates himself with.

I’m hoping for a full on Mike Pillow symposium.

If he were smart enough to listen to anyone he would be in this position.

His lawyers need to STFU fr.

This is the real Superbowl. A coworker of mine told me he treated Election Day as the super bowl each year, taking the day after off so he could stay up and watch the content all night.

I’m starting to see his point. I have paid attention to so much more political news the last couple years than I ever did before, and I’m really looking forward to this conference and the coverage of it afterwards.

True story coming up. I had a pretty major surgery the night of the Georgia run off election. The very first thing I asked when I remembered how to talk was “did Herschel lose?” I don’t live anywhere near Georgia, but I just really had to know if that stupid fucker ended up losing. Last I knew when I got put under was it was pretty even, but way too early to call.

I woke up and after seeing all my siblings come to visit, I asked about politics. None of them had a clue what I was talking about. But I finally got motor control back and turned the room TV on to check on it. I don’t think it was yet called at that point, but it was soon after. I was so happy. I don’t know much about Warnock, but at least he won’t be trying to join werewolf committees.

It was still way closer than it any business being.

Sorry about the random rant, that memory just hit me while I was typing.

Well I mean he is their client so technically, legally they have to do everything they can to the best of their ability to win. That said, they are fucking stupid for taking him on as a client. I can’t believe he can even still get lawyers. Knowing how badly he’s scraping the bottom of the barrel, all I can assume is that he is finding the most desperate, pathetic, trash lawyers in the entire system at this point. The ones who scraped through school with a C- average.

I assume the bet is to get famous in conservative circles and pick up a pundit position on TV.

Attorneys are typically on a retainer so… But these ones might not be very smart.

Nah. My favorite team actually made the super bowl recently. They lost, and it sucked. I was kinda upset about it for maybe a day, but there were no real consequences.

There are definitely funny moments that pop up with Trump’s illegal shit. The 4 seasons landscaping presser, and potentially this one, etc, but overall, if my “team” loses this whole thing, then it’s going to be a real problem. For everybody.

Yeah, my team won the NBA championship in 2016 but the happiness was quickly and painfully overshadowed by Trump’s presidential victory. Sports don’t really mean shit.

For the first time in my life, I want to watch Trump’s press conference, and I really, really hope he actually does it. Seems weird for him to chicken out now.

Be right back. I’m creating 50 truth social accounts and messaging him to show us what a real strong leader he is and go through with it.

Apparently, and I didn’t even know that. Of course that’s what they’d do.
