Rofl, this shit is dumber and dumber.The documents allegedly made their way into the storage unit as part of a 3,000-pound transport of miscellaneous items shipped from Virginia to Florida. It was full of “suits and swords and wrestling belts and all sorts of things,” a source told the Post, who asserted Trump had likely never even been to the unit.
20-30 years from now, some fucking storage hunter is going to get really fucking lucky lmao. One day, Trump will die and when it comes times to pay the storage bill, it will be classified as junk and whichever Trump is now refusing to pay the bills is going to lose a storage unit at auction.

House Rep. Paul Gosar, a cowards and a lover of dicktators, has deleted his tweet explicitly endorsing Trump's call to eliminate the Constitution.
Thompson says Jan. 6 committee report will be released Dec. 21
. Bennie Thompson, chair of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, said Wednesday that the panel's long-awaited report will be released on Wednesday, Dec. 21.
Thompson said the report's release would be coupled with some form of public presentation, the details of which are still being sorted out by committee members.
The report and accompanying materials will be posted online, Thompson said.
He also said that any decisions regarding potential criminal referrals will come the same day, and will be voted on publicly.
Thompson indicated on Tuesday that criminal referrals related to the Capitol attack were under discussion, but that final decisions -- including on specific crimes and specific suspects -- had not been made pending a vote by committee members.

In which Rep. Paul Gosar's spokesperson says that both Gosar and Trump actually really love the Constitution and the two of them weren't at all calling for its elimination and if you thought they were because you read the words they wrote/said, which explicitly supported eliminating the Constitution, you're a low IQ person.
This has big, "I'm in the 80th percentile!" vibes to it.
The only favorable reading I can make of the 'termination' sentance is that he means letting the 'fraudulent election' stand means that all this is tossed out (as in, the democrats doing it). That said, it doesn't flow with the context of the rest of the tweet.
Also is there some new republican BS about there being fraud (that wasn't actually trump-favoring), or is trump just running out of ideas and going back to the same ideas aain?
I have seen no new allegations of new fraud other than Kari Lake. And in this context, I think yes, Trump is still butthurt about 2020.

So many people are saying that Trump is doing nothing but stalling.
The DOJ agrees. They are now asking the court in the Mar-a-Lago case to fine Team Trump for refusing to comply with mandatory timelines.
From the looks of things, Team Trump has failed to set up an official guardian of records who will say "We looked, that's everything". Now that lawyer Bobb said "We looked, that's everything that I know of" in May, and nothing has happened since, and the DOJ is now responding six months later with "that's not good enough and we all know it".
You'd think this would be tied to the recent Trump property searches we just heard about, but if they searched and found nothing, you'd think they'd have someone say that. (Again, I don't think it'll work, but at least they wouldn't also be in contempt).
Now, here's where three things run into each other at full speed.
One: Trump is already on backups of his backup lawyers. They don't want to be fined for failing to have a custodian of records, especially when it's Trump's fault they don't have one. It just means their weak case is a weaker case, but also, they're being paid negative money for it.
Two: Trump refuses to put forth a custodian of records, and nobody wants that job. Simply put, nobody is going to say "Your Honor, I swear under oath on the record that the FBI and DOJ have everything now." Nobody believes Trump is telling the truth, and they found shit in an unguarded storage crate over the last week.
So, they don't want to be fined for refusing to comply, but Trump isn't giving them the ability to comply. Which brings me to:
Three: Charges filed.
I think there's a good chance the lawyers still working for Trump might say "fuck this, I'm out", but I also think there's a chance they'll throw one of their own to the wolves. "Maybe they won't find anything else, Bob," they'll tell Bob, "so just be a team player, say that's everything, and I'm sure it'll all be fine. If nothing else, we'll stop being charged fines for contempt."
I meant what I said earlier about the FBI not taking Trump at his word. I think there's more stuff missing and I think the FBI is going to go hunting for it.
If they find it, Bob goes to jail. Perjury. Done. Slamming door, clank sound, harmonica.
But, and this is a last resort but look where we'd be at that point, the DoJ could finally say "Trump has now stalled for over a year and lied to us by proxy over and over. A systematic, far-reaching, conspiratory attempt to avoid turning over those stolen items, even faced by subpoenas. That's obstruction. We are now filing obstruction of justice charges against Trump himself."
Even FOX News is cautiously looking in this direction. There's more to the story, but the filing is sealed, and we only have this because someone talked to WaPo.
