    What’s the over-under on Trump calling her the N word on a weekend Truth Social rant? I mean it’s not like he’d lose support from his base.

  2. I don’t see how this guy can get any more damned when the damning never damns him

  3. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.salon.com/2024/10/11/chutkan-approves-release-of-jan-6-documents-that-could-reveal-more-damning-testimony/) reduced by 72%. (I’m a bot)

    > Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, the federal judge overseeing Donald Trump's Jan. 6 case, issued an order Thursday approving the release of redacted source documents that provided special counsel Jack Smith with potentially incriminating material on the former president's attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

    > Trump now has a seven-day window to challenge the release of papers, which could further incriminate him in the public eye as the 2024 election enters its closing stretch.

    > The documents consist of a four-part appendix listing the sources of the quotes Smith used in his brief, as well as information detailing the legal pathways to prosecuting Trump even after the Supreme Court ruled that he was immune from criminal prosecution for official acts.

  4. It will not sway his voters. It just won’t. They’re so lost to him they don’t care.

  5. I’ve become so indifferent to the word “damning” anymore. I can’t keep track of how many “damning” things have been released about Trump, and the man still has a legitimate shot at becoming the President again. Nothing seems “damning” enough where he is concerned. Nothing.

    Comey saying he reopened the email investigation likely cost Clinton the election. Yet no matter how damaging this testimony and evidence is it will barely move the needle. This country is in so much trouble.

  7. Of course Trump would be happy about this, right? Now everyone can see how he is innocent. /s

  8. Misleading headline: judge didn’t grant release, judge granted item to docket. It’s not appealable.
    Judge is 🔥🔥🔥

  9. Can’t wait to see whether Americans want to have an apple or a hand grenade as a snack in a few weeks.

  10. While I’m all for this, the sad thing is that it won’t change any of his voters minds. They’re so far brainwashed, everything negative is just fake and made up.

    Say it with me…

    “IT DOESN’T MATTER!”

    We are talking about a cult. Nothing that could come to light would matter. It would be dismissed as fake news or AI
