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 2 years ago

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

[-] chaogomu@kbin.social 53 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

That was just locker room predatory incestuous paedophilia.

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?

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

[-] Elderos@lemmings.world 22 points 2 years ago

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

“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.”

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.

The balloons are a personal favorite.

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 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

It's not like they acknowledge video evidence either anyways

[-] chaogomu@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

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...

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 2 years ago

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

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

Lol someone please perp walk him for my amusement.

[-] mateomaui@reddthat.com 11 points 2 years ago

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 2 years ago

Would you expect anything else from a pathological liar?
