More Trumpist Fuckery

A Texas woman was arrested and has been charged with threatening to kill the federal judge overseeing the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Washington and a member of Congress.

Abigail Jo Shry of Alvin, Texas, called the federal courthouse in Washington and left the threatening message — using a racist term for U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan — on Aug. 5, court records show. Investigators traced her phone number and she later admitted to making the threatening call, according to a criminal complaint.

In the call, Shry told the judge, who is overseeing the election conspiracy case against Trump, “You are in our sights, we want to kill you,” the documents said. Prosecutors allege Shry also said, “If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you,” and she threatened to kill U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat running for mayor of Houston, according to court documents.

Let me hazard a guess: Alcohol was involved. Or that'll be the perp's defense. I suppose that this is one of he side-benefits of the demise of payphones, it's a lot harder for low-wattage asswipes to make anonymous threatening phone calls.

Shifting gears, there seem to be some serious ethical and legal issues about the TOFF's legal defense fund. It is to laugh, really.

First off, is there anyone who seriously believes that El Caudillo de Mar-a-Lago gives a shit about ethics or the law? The man is a criminal, plain and simple. He has conducted his entire adult life with an eye to avoiding being prosecuted, whereas most people just don't go around breaking the laws or pushing legal boundaries.

Second, as to the people sending in smallish donations: Are all y'all fucking serious? You're giving money to a billionaire? How stupid does one have to be to do that? Don't answer the last question, just go look into a mirror and you'll find out the answer. And no, they're not indicting Trump instead of you or in place of you. They're indicting him because of his alleged crimes. If you did crimes for Trump, fuck yeah, they'd indict you. Example #1 is the lead story to this post. There are over a thousand other examples. And more are being added almost daily.

Politics aside, would you give money to a legal fund for Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates or Elon Musk? If you think that the idea of giving money to a billionaire to help him out of a legal jam is laughable, then why would you even think of sending your hard-earned cash to The Donald?
