"Harris immediately framed her candidacy with a specific false reference to this case as a contest of 'prosecutor vs. convicted felon,'" Trump's filing says.

Harris' framing is an "inaccurate attack," it adds, without describing an inaccuracy. Harris is a former district attorney for San Francisco and attorney general for California; in May, Trump became the first former president convicted of a felony.

This is straight out of the reich wing playbook; they'll complain about how this or that is a lie, but they will never fucking ever actually specify what was the part that was incorrect. They just go "librul lies!" and their base eats it the fuck up

If you've ever known a particular type of abusive person, this is a pretty standard tactic. Information I don't want you to say is "lies," and if you say it, I will attack you. Information I want you to say is "the truth." These categories are extremely consistent and play a pivotal role in the abuse; if you view the terminology in that light, a lot of things (like not even pretending there is some factual backing needed for the claim of "an inaccurate attack") start to make sense.

Oh yeah, there's some research pointing towards conservatives being more likely to have dark triad personality traits (see for example this article) so this isn't very surprising

more likely to have dark triad personality traits

That article could just be titled "Who is Donald Trump"

Yeah funny how conservatives tend to gravitate towards leaders like that…

Based on research over 12 years old. Must be so much worse now.

Probably yeah, it's not like conservatives have been getting less unhinged

Reading stuff about abusers gets me freshly enraged all over again. I wish we had classes on recognizing abuse in schools. Maybe some classes on media literacy, that'd be helpful too.

For my mother, her favorite particular accusation currently is “Marxist Script”. Everything she doesn’t like is from a “Marxist script”. Of course, when I ask her from which of Marx’s works is this so-called “script“ that talks about Donald Trump being a racist, she launches into even more insults.

Trump is such a weird little snowflake.

I'm 100% making a bumper sticker that says "Don't be Weird"

Maybe he shouldn't have committed felonies if he didn't want to be called a felon?

It's a giant witch hunt. But whatever the male equivalent of a witch is. I can't think of it right now. But whatever it is, it's that. They have so many people talking about how the justice system gets it wrong. And they do. Especially Ka-Mal-ah.

Warlock.

Obviously. I was sounding like his dumbass.

Well you were about 4 times too articulate. Dumb that shit down.

Thanks! I did my best to sound disoriented and all over the place. I guess I just don't have that gear.

Convicted felon Donald Project 2025 Trump complains about being called a convicted felon.

How dare she use factually correct titles! How unfair! /s

Jim Carrey needs to do a sequel to liar liar, where hes working as a campaign manager for a presidential nominee and that nominee has the mystic voodoo cant tell a lie schtick happen to them.

Perhaps after the public finds a video of them cutting down an apple tree

So Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies is upset he was called a felon? Dementia must really be kicking in if forgot he's a 34 time felon. He's too old and should just drop out. It's embarrassing at this point.

Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies

Dementia Don, the racist rapist, Khaleesi of the great grass sea, with 34 felonies.

Try it again.

Will he become The Unburnt? He already promised to pardon the Jan 6ers if he wins.

Oh very sorry Sir Civilly Convicted Rapist Donald Trump.

Trump's "regurgitated" complaints about Loren Merchan's work with Harris have already failed twice, including at the appellate level, and amount to little more than "overheated, hyperbolic rhetoric," prosecutors added.

At some point, you have to quit filing the same garbage motion over and over again with slightly different details.

It has worked for him for decades. This case where it has not worked is the anomaly for him.

I feel like he'll take that as a challenge

He won't because he can't. That man is completely broken.

A million times no, and only one yes needed.

Welcome to the real world

Hey Donnie, she called you a felon because you are a felon! Thirty four times, to be precise! Remember all those days you sat sulking in court? I mean yeah, you were asleep most of that time, but surely you remember the judge dunking on you multiple times for your stupid bullshit?

At the same time he claims that black people like him because he‘s a felon…
