Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump Booked

 At Hat Hair, Trump is back on Twitter, and his first tweet is totally on brand

At Althouse, "The mugshot was completely unnecessary and vindictive, of course.". Going back a few hours, at Da Wire, Large Crowd Gathers Outside Of Fulton County Jail Awaiting Trump’s ArrivalFormer Secret Service Agent: Trump Should Refuse Bond, Force Fulton County To Jail Him (Bongino), Giuliani Turns Himself In: ‘I’m Defending The Rights Of All Americans’Attorney Behind 2020 ‘Eastman Memo’ Gives Constitutional Smackdown After Turning Himself In  KT at Hat Hair, Giuliani, Sidney Powell turn themselves in at Fulton County jail. PJM's Lincoln Brown highlights Giuliani's Warning "Now, whether you dislike or like Donald Trump, let me give you a warning. They’re gonna come for you. When the political winds shift, as they always do, let us pray that Republicans are more honest, more trustworthy, and more American than these people in charge of this government." From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.24.23 (Afternoon Edition), EBL: Attorney John Eastman vows to fight Georgia Indictment.
 
Phil Holloway at Front Page calls Georgia’s Trump Indictment a Partisan Political Hit Job. "Malicious - and absurd - overreach." Andy McCarthy at NRO (cited at Hat Hair) calls The Fani Willis case the J6 Commission of indictments. Capt. Ed comments "Be sure to read it all, especially Andy’s dismissal of the RICO predicate. In short, that exists to deal with sustained organizations with overtly criminal purposes, not ad hoc political and legal alliances of short duration and questionable motives. If any of these defendants win a removal motion, one has to think that a federal judge would put a quick end to the RICO predicate, and by doing so releasing most of the defendants except those who committed actual crimes, ie, the alleged Coffee County hack." Ixtu Diaz at Am Spec warns Fani, Justice Is Not a Blind Lady, "The locust plague of politics began to eat away at the judiciary long ago." Mary Chastain at LI, House Republicans Demand Fulton County DA Explain ‘Politically Motivated’ Trump Indictment, “Your indictment and prosecution implicate substantial federal interests, and the circumstances surrounding your actions raise serious concerns about whether they are politically motivated.” 'Bonchie' at Red State notes Hoo Boy: Unearthed Posts Show DA Fani Willis Pushed Election Conspiracies, Including One You'll Remember. At No Pasaran! Trump was not only allowed to dispute an election he felt was fraudulent, but as president was constitutionally obligated to do so; that is the opposite of criminal — In fact, he is one of the only public officials willing to uphold the oath he swore. Cami Mondeaux at WaEx reports House GOP investigating whether Fulton County district attorney coordinated with DOJ in Trump indictment. NBC, cited at Hat Hair, New: Trump changes attorneys in GA

Herr Professor Jacobsen at LI reports Feds Claim Key Mar-a-Lago Obstruction Witness Has Flipped On Trump “Immediately after receiving new counsel, Trump Employee 4 retracted his prior false testimony and provided information that implicated Nauta, De Oliveira, and Trump in efforts to delete security camera footage, as set forth in the superseding indictment.” At PM, DOJ pressures Mar-a-Lago IT director to change testimony, flip on Trump. The Western Journal claims an Explosive Report: Judge in Trump Jan 6 Case Previously Said in Open Court He's Guilty of Crimes, but she'll convict him fairly, she promises. At WaEx, Most Republicans would vote for an imprisoned Donald Trump, poll says. Althouse, "Are you worried that they’re going to try and kill you? Why wouldn’t they try and kill you? Honestly?" "Tucker Carlson asks Trump to his face in last night's interview — video here, transcript here. This is something that I've thought about but avoided ever saying, and I've even deleted comments that bring this up, because I'm afraid of stimulating deranged thinking, but Carlson brought it up so conspicuously that my restraint serves no purpose." Tom Buckley at I&I, What Is A Coup Du Publique? You’re In One Right Now. Jordan Boyd at Da Fed notes how a Tennessee Democrat Expelled For Rousing A Literal Mob Accuses Republicans Of ‘Mobocracy’

From Breitbart, Joe Biden’s Email Alias on Government Network Raises Suspicion of what he was trying to hide. Joe Klein at Front Page, The Biden Family Syndicate’s Racketeering Enterprise "A decade of influence peddling, money laundering, lies and coverups." At NYPo the ed board asks Team Obama loved Victor Shokin, so why did Joe Biden get him fired? To save Hunter's gravy train, no doubt. 'Bonchie' at Red State sees New Questions Swirl About What Prompted Joe Biden's Original Involvement in Ukraine. These numbers seem to vary, at 1945, Hunter Biden Flew Overseas With Joe Biden On Air Force Two At Least 8 Times, TNP, Hunter Travelled to at Least 13 Countries with VP Biden and Ace, Hunter Biden Traveled With Vice President Biden to Foreign Countries At Least 13 Times, "This is basically advertising to foreign gangsters and oligarchs, telling them in no uncertain terms: Hunter Biden is my heir and surrogate. If you want my favor, do favors for Hunter. If you want me to listen to you, listen to Hunter first." I suspect the harder you look, the more you'll find. Dave Strom at Hat Hair VIP notes Shamelessness is a superpower



From Breitbart, U.S. Economy Teeters on Verge of Stagnation as Bidenflation Squeezes Customer Demand. Virginia Kruta at Da Wire sees WH Torched For Latest ‘Bidenomics’ Brag: ‘Literally Nothing Costs Less’. Jerome Corsi at Am Think wonders Will New EPA Regulations Starve Millions Of People? Not in the US, at least not quickly, but some brown-skinned ones in foreign countries? Probably. Banning DDT killed millions of them too, but it saved our eagles and Ospreys. 

Atop Da Summit, a Report that Biden Wanted To Partner With Communist Chinese App To Spy On Americans, TikTok. At LI Terrence Kible suspects the  White House Press Office Unconstitutionally Targeted Reporter With New Credentialing Requirement "The revised requirement came after heated exchanges between the reporter and White House Press Secretary over the White House’s alleged refusal to answer the reporter’s questions." On the other hand, Hat Hair's Dave Strom reports Justice Department sues SpaceX for not hiring refugees, despite a similar NASA policy. Greg Price@greg_price11, "If you go to NASA's official website, it says "other than extremely rare exceptions, you must be a US citizen to work for NASA." But Biden's DOJ wants to punish SpaceX for not hiring non-citizens? I'm sure this has nothing at all to do with getting revenge on
@elonmusk for the Twitter files."
 

There is, of course, lots of discussion about the first Republican debate. PJM's Stephen Kruiser, The Hot Mess GOP Primary Debate Season Is Under Way. Da Caller, First GOP Debate Sees Unlikely Winners As Trump Sits Down With Tucker.  At WaEx, Republican debate: Republicans crave debate about the economy, not Trump or 2020. At Am Think Andrea Widburg has Some thoughts, all cynical and sour, about the Republican debate. Hey, she stepped on my joke! At Am Great, Trump Triumphant Again. Nick Arama at Red State claims Trump Claims Debate Victory, and He Has Some Incredible Numbers to Support the Claim. At Unherd,  Donald Trump looms over the Republicans, "Last night's debate was dominated by the man who didn't show up." Dan Flynn at Am Spec, The Unintended Consequence of Trump Skipping the Debate. "He’s the long-term loser." At NYPo Michael Goodwin says Republican candidates have to step it up to take nomination from Trump. At Da Caller, ‘Why Wouldn’t They Do The Same This Time?’: Tucker Presses Trump On Stolen Election Claims. They will, of course. Althouse, "He’s a bitchy little man.... He’s a little fussy man...." "Says Tucker Carlson after Trump brings up Chris Wallace who, he says, is "probably not a friend of yours." Tim Graham, GOP 'Campaign Coverage' Is Stuck in Courtrooms. Hat Hair's KT thinks Georgia Governor Brian Kemp went to Milwaukee to call Trump a loser. He could have used a telephone.

'Bonchie' thinks Hand-Wringing Reactions Offer a Clue as to How Ron DeSantis Did at the Debate. TNP notes that despite his rhetoric, DeSantis Hires Open Borders Jeb Bush Acolyte as New Spokesman. Capt. Ed on The (nearly) Trump-less debate: RamaswamyGPT, DeSantis rises, Mean Mike Pence debuts. Althouse The NYT headline is "Ramaswamy Seizes Spotlight as DeSantis Hangs Back." And: "It was the Ramaswamy show." "The subheadline for the article offered "7 Debate Takeaways,"It was the Ramaswamy show" — in boldface — was the first takeaway." From the Free Bacon, Beastmode: Christie Says Ramaswamy Is Just Another 'Skinny Guy With an Odd Last Name' and  WATCH: Vivek Ramaswamy Defends Comments About Israel and 9/11. Byron York at WaEx, Trump wins, DeSantis struggles, Haley shines, and everybody hates (or loves) Vivek. Capt. Ed on Vivek, "Well, count me among the deeply unimpressed — but I *am* curious to see what impact this debate will have on Ramaswamy’s support. I also wonder how much of that support is actually for Ramaswamy himself as opposed to his potential as a stalking horse for Trump in the debates, because there is plenty of overlap visible already between those subsets of supporters." Vivek strikes me as the smartest person in the room, and a little smarmy because of it. Among the also-runs, Breitbart reports Chris Christie, Asa Hutchinson Booed at GOP Primary Debate and Mike Pence, Nikki Haley Spar over Likelihood of Federal Abortion Restriction in GOP Debate.

From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.24.23 (Afternoon Edition), Twitchy: Sad, Weepy Adam Kinzinger Flips Out When People Clap Back At His Attack On DeSantis’ Service, Haley Goes For Ramaswamy’s Throat On Foreign Policy, and Glenn Kessler’s “Fact-checking” Of GOP Debate Abortion Claims Goes Really, Really, Really Wrong, The Geller Reports FYI: I Won’t Be Watching the Irrelevant Debate on Fox Tonight, But I Will Be Watching Tucker Interview President Trump, Legal Insurrection, NY Times: Ron DeSantis Was an ‘Arrogant’ Yale Baseball Captain, Frat ‘Bully,’ ‘Bored’ With Woke Students,Althouse: "With its psychologists overbooked, the clinic relied on external therapists, some with little experience in gender issues, to evaluate the young patients’ readiness for hormonal medications."
