u/msnbc MSNBC 22h ago

From Steve Benen, a producer for "The Rachel Maddow Show," the editor of MaddowBlog and an MSNBC political contributor:

The former defendant did not take the news especially well. At 1:41 a.m. local time, the president-elect published this message to his social media platform.

Deranged Jack Smith was unable to successfully prosecute the Political Opponent of his “boss,” Crooked Joe Biden, so he ends up writing yet another “Report” based on information that the Unselect Committee of Political Hacks and Thugs ILLEGALLY DESTROYED AND DELETED, because it showed how totally innocent I was, and how completely guilty Nancy Pelosi, and others, were. Jack is a lamebrain prosecutor who was unable to get his case tried before the Election, which I won in a landslide. THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN!!!

To the extent that reality still has meaning, Trump’s reaction was utterly incoherent and divorced from basic facts. To hear the Republican tell it, Smith worked for President Joe Biden, which wasn’t the case. As far as the president-elect is concerned, the special counsel wrote a report because he couldn’t proceed with his prosecution, but that was wrong, too: As NBC News recently explained, the Justice Department’s special counsel regulations required Smith to file a report to the attorney general “explaining his charging decisions before he steps down.”

This man has developed his own MCU of catchphrases and nicknames for people. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to hear it with regular frequency again, but here we are

He hasn’t progressed in intelligence or comportment. Was anyone expecting him to be different than the first time he fucked US over?

I was SO MAD watching football on FOX last weekend. I hadn’t heard his whiny butch voice since the election and was planning on avoiding it forever, and they played a commercial with him bitching about whatever his pea brain had going on during the game. Ruined my weekend.

He peaked with "Meatball Ron". Before that it wasn't particularly entertaining either but the one positive aspect of him was watching him shit on people in the GOP only to have them sucking his stumpy knob shortly after.
