Former president Donald Trump pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that he conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election, appearing in the federal courthouse that sits just blocks away from where his angry supporters stormed the Capitol building in an effort to keep him in power.

Not surprising at all. Has the man admitted to anything ever in his life?

[–] Joemc72@lemmy.world 114 points 1 year ago (3 children)

He’s admitted to totally wanting to bone his teenage daughter…

[–] chaogomu@kbin.social 53 points 1 year ago

And told little girls that he would be dating them in 10 years.

I believe there was also some bragging about walking in on teenage beauty pageant contestants.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was just locker room predatory incestuous paedophilia.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 17 points 1 year ago

This above all is why every trumper dipshit can F right off with their "pedos!" attack line. They go right to that and being so concerned for their daughters if you call them out on book banning, and they've got MAGA TRUMP2024 all over them. Like really?

[–] Acronymesis@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

What a terrible day to know how to read. :(

[–] Elderos@lemmings.world 22 points 1 year ago

He has admitted grabbing them by the pussy. (when you're a star they let you do it)

[–] cassetti@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

“I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy, He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

[–] qisope@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

well, despite the risk of sounding boastful, he was willing to admit to being the best and most amazing at everything ever.

The sites around Washington D.C. are interesting today.

[–] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 71 points 1 year ago

The balloons are a personal favorite.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 14 points 1 year ago

I'm assuming that the red shirt guy's sign does not actually say something like "Make America's Penis Short Again", but that's how I'm reading it.

[–] StinkySnork@kbin.social 55 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Of course he did. He'll want a trial which will both stretch out the process towards the election, and give him the chance to put on a show for his throng.

I hope he ends up in a cell to minimize any further damage.

[–] RedAggroBest@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No cameras in fed courtrooms is a blessing and a curse. He can't treat the room like a stage, but he can say anything he wants about what happened in the courtroom because his base won't read.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 30 points 1 year ago

It's not like they acknowledge video evidence either anyways

[–] chaogomu@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago (4 children)

The thing is, he can say what he wants out of the courtroom, but what is said in the courtroom matters most.

So far, his lawyers seem to be putting together a TV legal defense. As in, it meant to win over TV audiences, but won't do jack shit in a courtroom.

"And I told the judge I'm a very stable genius with very smart friends and I'm not guilty, it's as simple as that. And the judge laughed and said they know, we should go out for a big mac after this" And cult45 cheeers

[–] chaogomu@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sadly, it's more likely that Trump will claim that the Judge is deep state and then do some stochastic terrorism.

Depending on how that goes, Trump might end up waiting in jail for the trial to commence...

Trump the candidate and Trump the defendant have different goals.

Trump the candidate will explain this is the deep state Biden admin curtailing his free speech.

Trump the defendant will have to defend himself from charges that aren't related to free speech. So my guess is he'll let them find him guilty (good for Trump the candidate) and hope that all the elections staff quitting means his people will get in and fix it for him.

It’s like he can walk out on the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and still get elected.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Hey, good on him for being honest about that one at least

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lol someone please perp walk him for my amusement.

[–] mateomaui@reddthat.com 11 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Looking forward to the GA indictment where they say he'll get a mugshot taken. Not sure if that's changed or not.

What does a habitual liar do when called on his lies besides lie some more.

Keep on digging Donnie, you'll hit Chinese soil eventually.

The opposite side of the earth (Antipode) to DC is actually Augusta in Australia! At least that's the closest city!

I have to admire the composure of the judge who did not bust out laughing when he said it.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Would you expect anything else from a pathological liar?
