I’ve been waiting for this ever since Trump filed his motion. Thanks Mic!

Apologies my work day was insane and I had to wait until the kiddos went to bed so I could concentrate on the facts & snark of this article 😂

Just: we get excited whenever you've time to weigh in.

"Here we can observe Trump’s natural behavior “in the wild” where he’s always the victim, engages in advanced gaslighting and ultimately lands in “victim” land. "

I read this in Steve Irwin's voice...I dunno why...

Oddly I wrote that with Julie Andrews’ voice but Irwin is HILARIOUS too 😂🤣😂

I mean I went all the way back to Jan 19, 2021 but I couldn’t find an archive of my tweet that included this letter —Because that’s the precise moment I knew that it was very likely Trump unlawfully retained documents

I was ordering some gravel the other day and asked the crew there if he knew my brother and they said yes and one guy said he. misses him every day. To my shock and embarrassment, I burst out in tears and kept apologizing but really couldn’t pull it together. I left and the delivery came yesterday and the lady that was servicing me on Friday was at my front door and wanted to make sure I was okay. She even asked for a little tour of my brothers work in my backyard and it was just the nicest thing and really touched my heart. Anyway, grief sucks and it can’t take the strongest too our knees in an instant. I’m so glad you are seeing a grief counselor and please know you’re not alone, Girl! Love ya! ♥️

What is this warm salty liquid leaking from my eyeballs. I’m at the point that I need to submit to my grief. As in just accept it and then try to forge a way forward, without him. It’s been four months and I expected I’d be better. I’m not. But I’m trying to move forward, it’s difficult. My striving to be in a better place, like you but the struggle is real. Sending you a virtual hug 👇🏻

Btw, it’s been 3 years and some days it feels like yesterday but I’m thankful to feel him close to me ♥️

Yikes! This is so good! Thank you for ALL of this, especially for the likes of me who needs the dots connected. I am so sorry the candies triggered you; I am glad you retrieved them from the garbage. They are also a reminder of your love/care for your boss. It is a trigger, but it is also a testament of your goodness. Maybe you're supposed to realize you gave him a reprieve from his darkness you could not be aware of. And maybe I should stop before I step in it. Thank you, File-y, for all your hard work! You're a Gem!

Your snark is the best, especially when it applies to trump's latest. I saw he had filed this PRO SE. Is he that narcissist, or has he no competent attorneys at this point.

Perp walks will certainly help many of us to heal, but unless he is muzzled too, I fear more violence.

Big hug now and whenever you're feeling sad.

Thanks, was waiting for this one. I am not an attorney and have very little understanding of legal processes, but even my engineer's brain can find something wrong with almost every sentence in that filing. It's one thing to make an argument, but quite another to repeatedly state falsehoods. This will continue to get interesting. Oh and count me as one of the many pissed off people because if I had taken even a tiny fraction of the amount of classified material home from work that he's taken I'd have been arrested fairly quickly.

Thanks for the summary. Also know that we care about your ups and downs. You’ve honestly been through so very much since we first joined up with you. And you are a great photographer!

Filey, Trump is going PRO SE?! He's going to defend himself?? This, this is :::chef's kiss::: and I can't wait for this train wreck to happen. :-D

Wait….W-H-A-T? To the best of my knowledge he didn’t pro se this filing but hilariously one of his “new” attorneys last name is “Trusty” I shittlestix you not —see page 21

Trusty’s UMD bio

I have his cv but it contains a lot of PII and I don’t believe in doxing individuals

LOL Someone on Twitter with the handle of SpiroAgnew'sGhost had the pic of the affidavit. Yeah, it's probably bogus but I had a nice laugh.

As for "Trusty"? Holy moly, if this was a script it would be "Airplane!" quality. LOL

He doesn’t argue taking and possessing the documents, right? So is the “legal filing” acting as an admission of guilt?

Expand full comment

Don’t you think the feds and their filter team have gone through every doc in the boxes and sorted them by now? Seems like trump missed the boat with this whatever it is filing.

Filey don’t stop the delivery. One day you will smile every time you eat it as you think of him. Whatever you were to each other you are still. Talk to him.

I saw yesterday that it was filed in Ft. Pierce, 75 miles away, rather than the nearer fed court. Motive? The judge in Ft. Pierce is a "trump appointee", so he hopes for bias 🤞I hope she recuses lolol. Grief is a journey, backsliding to be expected, but you'll get through. That sunset was a reminder. Thanks for your continued service, Sis.
