I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's pretty clear that caught him sliding into a dm and witness tampering.  To add extra sauce to the goose they a got a warrant to prove he sent it.  This again shows that he's just as horrible being a criminal as he is at everything else.  

[TexasHooch 5,142]

It's got to be DMs.  But they can't fish just to fish.  Someone must have disclosed that he was using them.

Twitter started encrypting DM's in May of this year (long overdue, for certain), with certain provisions.  I'd bet that warrant was the reason they finally got it done.

And then appealed the sanction for noncompliance which is now public. I’m sure there’s going to be absolutely no business or PR consequences for siding with Trump over the J6 investigation. [sarcasm font]
 

I wonder if he regrets firing all the attorneys who could have told him that was dumb.

Honestly, I think he creates a vernacular/lexicon for his cult-like followers with terms like this.  Same with things like "Fake News", "Woke", "Witchhunt" and so on.  When someone speaks about Trump or politics in general, it is instantly known based on the verbiage they use whether or not they are a cult member.  If the listener is likewise a MAGA member, they instantly know they have found a kindred spirit.  If the listener is not, they have been generally conditioned to reject the speaker as a loon.  This further segregates the MAGA cult members from their non-cult family, friends and mainstream society.  That isolation helps the cult members maintain their belief in the unbelievable and makes them easier to manipulate.

I do believe classified documents at Mar-a-Lago is what got him into this mess in the first place.  Best to just deny this one out of hand.  Plus, I'm pretty sure the dude has a helicopter. 

 

Also, haven't we established that his idea of a SCIF is the shitter off the spare bedroom?

[Red Five 40,895]

The trial is about him keeping (after stealing) classified documents in his home (and refusing to return them). Isn't it kind of iffy for the judge to say it's now ok for him to keep said documents in his home? That would be the first thing he'd start yelling about. "See!! Even the judge says I can have them!". 

[TwiceHorn 31,536]

Brief skim of the motion is they just want to be able to talk to him in a secure facility at MAL or somewhere, no documents present.

But in electoral politics, the objective is to persuade a plurality of the voters to support you.  And that's real difficult when a lot of the voters have no idea what the fuck you're saying.

You saw that in the GQP response to Biden's SOTU last year.  The Iowa governor would talk about things using these code phrases that, if you didn't watch Fox News or intently follow Trump's social media, you had no idea what she was saying.  I was watching with Mrs.LL, who watches a lot of news, and even she turned to me at one point and asked, "what the fuck is she talking about."

There's a GQP cult.  Of that there's no doubt.  But the cult's ability to expand its appeal is really limited by its cult-like behavior.

Trump did a lot of crime on twitter while he was President.  Everything from obstruction, witness tampering, and ultimately mobilizing a violent coup attempt which got him banned from the platform IIRC.  So far, the Twitter ban has been the most meaningful consequence.

I agree.  But you are assuming the need for the cult to expand past its current population.

In South Africa, apartheid began in 1948.  At that time there were 13 million people in South Africa.  2.6 million of them were white and 9.88 million were black.  So a minority of 2.6 million brought a population of 9.88 under their heel.  It only took 20% of the population to have the necessary critical mass to subjugate the other 80%.

Now look at the US in 2020.  74 million of 155 million voted for Trump.  That's 48% of voters.  There were 329 million people living in the US.  That's 22.4% of the total population.

Let this sink in:  In 2020, we had a larger percentage of citizens supporting the MAGA Presidential candidate than there were whites living in South Africa when Apartheid was erected.

The cult doesn't need to expand.  It just has to eliminate the ability of the non-cult to threaten its hold on power.  Every maneuver we've seen from Trump and his allies has been towards this end.  The barriers against voting.  The dismantling of education.  The attempt to "find" the votes in Georgia.  The bogus electoral voters ready to go if only Pence would send the election back to the states.  The 1/6 insurrection.  The demonization of the concept of democracy.  We are exceedingly fortunate Trump didn't find a way to stay in the White House for a 2nd term.  Should he figure out a way to get another -- and he will be trying by every available means and with the assistance of foreign adversaries -- it won't matter if 99% of the people listen to him and wonder, "What the fuck did he just say?"

Having Twitter hand over the data from his account, while not removing a single thing posted, is a free speech infringement how?

and if they did in fact DELETE AND DESTROY the copies they received, how is that getting rid of anything?

According to the MAGAts I've overheard, "they" are the people who say the outlandish shit they parrot.  

 

Them: "Well, they say the Hunter Biden's laptop had the sekrit formula for Coke Zero on it in the shape of his giant dong and he was planning to make tons of Coke Zero and use it to do human trafficking."

I don't necessarily disagree.  The "data points" could well mount that she's being unduly harsh on the prosecution/favorable to Trump and maybe form the basis for recusal.

It can also form the basis of an airtight, un-appealable conviction.

I don't think Cannon is experienced or smart enough to do that, though.
