Like the proof Obama was born in Kenya? Or the election was stolen? Or that Soros funds Antifa?

He's got concepts of

So there's no proof.
Basically one of his sycophants is whispering bullshit in his ear again

No no, there will be proof. They just need time to find good videos of those people so they can ask Grok or whatever to make a video of them cutting the thing.

Proof is coming in 2 weeks!

No, he will just stop talking about it then. That has been his usual mo. And he will be able to do that because there will be at least one other new scandal he has caused.

Maybe there will also be video of them eating the cats and the dogs.

Even if we gave him the benefit of every doubt, we'd still be left with a situation where

The minutes involved would be at least 60, even if they didn't have to change the blade. 350 feet is a long ways. There would be footage of the incident, and they would've shared it if so. There is no benefit of the doubt to even entertain here.

He got confused between algae and plankton and figured this guy was the culprit

It's kinda funny how paper thin he is to everyone who's ever read one of his lawsuits and how it went down. Trump speaks confidently in the public square but becomes a meak little mouse in court and still gets thrown out. He's never once, in his entire 80 years, provided more evidence in court than anything he had while speaking on a stage, unless maybe that evidence was subpoenaed away from him and it destroyed his case.

Is this like that great health plan and his tax returns? What has it been, 10+ years?

He sure got demented. He already used this trick in his attempted overthrow of the 2020 vote.

So, someone climbed in the reflecting pool, and made at least one 350 foot long slit, without the authorities stopping them, and without cameras catching them doing it?
With like a boxcutter at that. It's such a blatant lie but his tools in the prosecutors, and make no mistake the federal judges are tools as well just not as blatantly.

IOW, he’s got nothing.

They just need time to slip that AI clip into the pool surveillance footage and then BOOM!...Robert's your dad's brother!

Trump says lots of things. Almost all are flagrant bullshit.
Bakkoda@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 58d
Sounds like the arrests had no factual basis. More and more and more laws but not for them.

I can’t care less about anything this clown says any more.
teyrnon@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 59d
The people being framed need people to care although I share your sentiment.
chahn.chris@piefed.social · 3 pts · 59d
Obviously and I assume their lawyers will care and do the right thing to get this thrown out.
Trump’s comments though can just go straight into the toilet. If everyone just ignored everything he said he’d have no power.

After seeing those activists get sent to life in prison for 1st amendment protected activity in Texas, I wouldn't trust the federal courts to do their duty.

I thought the whole thing with the algae started when they switched from using clean drinking water to pulling water from a drainage pond to save money. As I remember it, there was always fertilizer in that water because of upstream polluters, so we'd have to either stop them from polluting, or filter the water to clean it up to a suitable standard to prevent algae growth.
$15 million isn't a lot to steal, and there was massive potential for an unironic "This was Obama's fault" if he just switched back to (expensive) drinking water, filtered/sanitized the pool, and called it a day. The incompetence is staggering.
