OMG. Trump’s new genius Attorney Alina Habba filed a proposed Order to Show Cause with the court on Michael Cohen and signed her own name to it where the Judge is supposed to sign these. This is nuts. Only the best people.

Mélanie looks pissed.
The woman between her and her fat, dementia-driven husband is his brother’s widow, Mary Trump’s mother.

[Kendra]

Where is Barron?

[Phoenix520]

Maybe that’s why Mel looks so mad- he refused to comply.

[Kendra]

Been a while since I was that age, but I seem to recall running from the camera for family shots and stuff.

Bill Barr has led this country straight to hell, thus says tfg. Only the best people.

I'm amazed that TFG isn't front and center. Don't they know how important and magnificent he is? Don't they want to bask in the glory of his presence?

[AndyinPA]

Yeah, first thing I noticed is that he was hiding in the back. Very unusual.

And the post about Bill McSwain would be good in the PA Senate thread.

(I saw the first ad today by Oz about the DFO's endorsement.)

How dare you! He is front and center! The idiot photographer – clearly a Democrat, probably Hunter Biden – took the photograph from wrong side!

1. I thought that odd, as well. And Melania's 'tude - was she forced to give up an afternoon with her...umm...security guy/tennis instructor? (and if nobody here thinks she'd so such a thing, I have a bridge for sale connecting two boroughs of NYC. Also, I'm not judging her, at least not for that. Isn't it her turn?)

2. I bet statements like that from the OSG are causing a lot of grumbling in the mainstream GOP who want people to stop focusing on trumpshittery so they can get back to the important stuff, like denying women equal status and keeping POC from voting.

I have a cuz in Harrisburg. I asked her if she thought Oz could win the primary and, if so, the general. She's worried about central PA. Andy, what say you?

One lone photographer and no TV cameras and Faux News did not show up...

I can understand her being worried about Central PA. That's the Tucky part of Pennsyltucky, although probably not Harrisburg itself. I'm really not sure. I don't think he has much of a chance, but I am surprised that none of the repubs have gone after him being a carpetbagger so far. I tend to hit the mute button when any of their ads come on. I did see Sean Parnell, who was probably the most likely repub winner of the primary, on TV last night, grumbling about Oz not even being from here. I think he was DFO's original pick, but he dropped out because of a nasty divorce process.

PA lost population in the last census, but I read somewhere that that loss didn't come from the five major cities, but from the Tucky part. Whether that will matter or not, I have no clue.

I feel fairly sure that Shapiro will win the governor's office. I'm a little more concerned about the Senate race. I have decided to vote for Fetterman. I'm not at all sure who will win for the repubs, but they love calling Fetterman a Socialist, which, I'm happy to say, he comes as close as any in this country.

I'm just not sure if DFO's endorsement will matter much for OZ.

Not saying I have a definite answer, but here's a guess in the absense of anything more sensible: Trump created the Space Force, so they should be "loyal" to him, and thus they should have an interest in putting him back in office. Hey, it might work since all the other branches of the military don't seem to be responding to demands from all the crazies to reinstate Trump. But a new branch of the military that they fantasize owes one to Trump ought to be able to work magic... Constitution and applicable law are so annoying when they get in the way of this sort of fantasy, though.

I see this as one of his less crazy ideas, it is at least adjacent to how things actually tend to go if you know what you are doing. When he created a new branch, he provided career advancement paths, people with new prospects who were selected by people he promoted and have him to thank for their new positions.

If he had been competent, that would have been a pretty classic way to build a loyalist heavy institution.

Not really, most of it was filled by lateral transfers from the Air Force and the other branches. It didn't really create 6 new generals, it moved them over and gave them new uniforms.

That picture demonstrates a good living for 3 nursing homes, half a dozen plastic surgeons, a brigade of hair dressers and the busiest cocaine dealer in West Palm Beach.

He has his hands on the woman's shoulders as well. Maybe holding himself up? Due to age, or just wearing such massive lifts he can barely stand in order to look tall? Or just coping a feel? It also allows him to hide his massive gut in a scene where he does not have his coat or suit with the massive shoulderpads to try and balance it out.

[Phoenix520]

He has his patented fake smile - actually a rictus grimace - pasted on his ugly mug. Ugh.

It's the ill fitting false teeth, I think. And the constant desperate attempt to ooze out of skin his situation that this means he is a big important smart man.

I like how Don Jr. was trying for the standard photo-op thumbs up, but couldn't quite get it up in time to satisfy anyone. Cocaine abuse can make it difficult to achieve & maintain an erection.

After staring at the group for a while, I think the older couple on front of lardass are the widow trump’s parental units. The woman resembles the widow.

Yep. There is a statutory amount of flag officers (Generals and Admirals) allowed in the services. Since the Space Force is not yet specified, as far as I can tell, whatever flag officers are moved to the Space Force reduces the number of flag officers in other services. Yes, it would appear that some were promoted to fill some upper roles, but flag officers are bouncing around all of the time and it is competitive.

The Chief of Space Force Operations was already a 4 star before Trump was president and by the time Space Force was created he was Commander, US Space Command for the Air Force.

While Trump, or especially his followers, may think the Space Force and the officers owe Trump for their existence, the military just does not work that way. Creating a new service was already in the making and he just happened to be sitting in the chair when it happened.

Im going to only call him the osg from now on. In retrospect, it’s the perfect name for him. He never stopped flinging poo, still hasn’t.
