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.
The sites around Washington D.C. are interesting today.
The balloons are a personal favorite.

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.
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.
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
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…
I get a lot of political spam emails. You best believe that they’re full of fiery rhetoric. They’re not calling for violence, or anything but campaign donations, but they are certainly full of “deep state”, “fake news”, “election interference”, “unjust indictment”, etc.
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.
As long as he doesn’t put on a show in his thong
It’s like he can walk out on the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and still get elected.
Hey, good on him for being honest about that one at least
Lol someone please perp walk him for my amusement.
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!

Neat, though my money is on him either being crushed or cooked to death before then.
I have to admire the composure of the judge who did not bust out laughing when he said it.
Would you expect anything else from a pathological liar?
Yeah, well, he lies.
