Trump 59: The Walls Are Closing In, So Naturally He's Running Another Grifting Scheme

Recommended Posts

The Special Counsel has empaneled a criminal grand jury, his handpicked judge who ruled in his favor over the Mar-a-Loco documents was smacked down, NY is going after him, and GA is pushing forward with their investigation into interference in the 2020 election. All in all, a bad time for TFG. So he had the brilliant idea to tease a big announcement, which turned out to be $99 "digital trading cards" featuring his ugly mug badly photoshopped onto generic images.

Loe to me and tell me this is a fucking joke. I mean, don't his followers have eyes? Cult of personality indeed.

The NFT grift is even worse than we thought.  It was set up in Delaware so there's no transparency about the corporation at all and appears to be a shell company operating out of Wyoming.  The same final address has been used by people who were criminally convicted of fraud, scams, extortion, and money-laundering.  Plus, if you were stupid enough to buy one of these cards and tried to resell it, in the fine print it says that you'd have to pay them 10% of the proceeds.  

Excellent article about it here:

If you go to the link for the Trump NFT cards, it now said "Sold Out".  I'm not sure if they really sold out the maximum number of images or whether Donny and his people decided to say it's sold out since the whole episode has been so embarrassing.

That is entirely possible. Did he and his people really think this was a good idea?

Interesting. Even TFG’s lawyers offend regular people:

IMO the trading card thing was totally a way to launder money since Trump org. is being watched like a hawk. But I also think Trump didn’t expect to be mocked for it and has most certainly just lied about 
selling out in hopes this will be quickly forgotten. I took a glance yesterday at the conservative page on Reddit and they seemed pretty annoyed at him. These people are wanting a leader who will take down the evil liberals and Trump is trying to sell them badly photoshopped jpegs for $100. Trump has lost his edge and the mindless masses will jump to the next cult leader who says all the right things.

He's now cornered and dangerous.  This what what he was spewing earlier:

That's such a little dictator move -- "They're really going after you!"  He wants his followers to take this personally and fight for him so he doesn't have to fight for himself.  You know that he'd never lift a finger to defend one of those MAGA hat wearing idiots unless it was to use his Sharpie to pardon someone.  Donny is a coward.  But he's doing what he can to start a civil war in order to avoid prison.

The EFT grift?  Immediately pulled in a bit north of $4.5 million.   Lots of speculation on twitter that this is a blatant money laundering op.  

In other news,  Jack Smith is still working remotely from the Netherlands, recovering from his bike accident.

If the Jan 6 Committee approves criminal referrals against Trump on Monday, the pressure is on for Garland at DoJ and also should put some wind in Jack Smith's sails.  I really hope Garland stops cowering and moves forward.  

In the meantime, there have been a lot of great twitter post pulling on the threads of "Stop the Steal" perps.

So is the book in pictures more because Trump can't write or because his followers can't read?

(I am not snarking on illiteracy. I am snarking on people who know how to read and choose not to and brag about it, which is how I feel many Trump supporters are.)

Assuming any of the inflated numbers are true, anyone stupid enough to pay $8k for what amounts to a grade schooler’s fantasy view of himself deserves to lose the money. I am not a fan of Trump getting paid for his clear grift but I just try to think “more to take as assets for redistribution to people in need when he is finely brought down”. Please don’t burst my happy bubble. I need this bit of energy to keep me going.

He's posted a couple of tweets that he made on 1/6 about remaining peaceful and supporting the police.  The problem is that those tweets were marked "2:38 PM" and "3:13 PM".  This was long after the terrorists had already broken into the Capitol and a police officer was already dead.  If that's his attempt at damage control for the upcoming report, it's pretty weak.

      I love baseball but I'm dreading the new season because the White Sox ownership is THE FUCKING WORST. I watched Dominican League Baseball (Lidom!) over the winter and fell in love with their joy, spirit, and exuberance. The broadcasts were in Spanish and my Spanish is pretty weak but I loved catching phrases and repeating them. Bombe! I'm sad about MLB and Commissioner Idiota's busywork rules. But I love baseball, always and forever.
      I guess I don't have a point. Just bitching. Te amo mucho, Lidom!

      Happy International Women's Day!

      Humanity may have some work to do, to improve gender equality, but I was glad to hear that France has taken an important step to protect healthcare for women (and people of other genders who can get pregnant). 
      (The links are just to a UN page and the AP News.)
      Anyhow, love to y'all!

      Feeling ragey this morning. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon in the hope of getting help for an ongoing injury. I went to a (different!!) doctor late last year who completely blew me off. He wouldn't do diagnostic testin, he refused to send me to a specialist, and he just told me to "take it easy" and "take ibuprofen." I'm hopeful for today's appointment but I'm also feeling a SEVERE amount of rage at that doctor from last year!

      Well, the rash is back with a vengeance. It never completely cleared up. I saw the derm yesterday and they did another swab and yup, raging infection again, still? It is definitely strep skin infection. I am getting so damn tired and run down from this. Who the f would immagine being hospitalized freaking TWICE for a rash?

      So angry right now.  If I could return to Luxembourg tomorrow and renounce my citizenship in this stinking shitpile of a country I would.

      My niece is going to be a seat filler at this year's Academy Awards.  Seat fillers are asked to wear tuxedos regardless of sex/gender.  If you see a pretty young woman with very curly hair, it could be my niece.

      It’s not supposed to be mosquito season right now but I still appear to have been bitten twice on the side of my foot. Bastards. I know I shouldn’t scratch but it’s so tempting… 😑
