Sure Donald, now just repeat it under oath in court. If he keeps this up, he will end up in jail pretrial. He is clearly freaking out and the walls along with reality are closing in.

Texas Legislature passed a law that applied to one county in Texas. Harris County -- the county in Texas with the highest population, highest number of Democrats, highest number of Black people, Highest number of Latino people and relatively lowest proportion of white people. The County was singled out by the Republican dominated Republican legislature and told, first by the legislature, then by the state's highest court that it must abolish its elections office.
One can argue whether or not there is good reason for this. The argument given by the law's supporters is not a good one and there is not good evidence to support that argument even if it were. But that's neither here nor there. The law is clearly unconstitutional. It was found unconstitutional by a lower judge in March of this year. The Texas Constitution prevents the Legislature from passing any laws that are not uniform throughout the state and only target a specific location. The Texas State AG (yeah, HIM). set aside that ruling until an appeal can be heard in the Texas Supreme Court to determine if the law is unconstitutional. Here is the hook:
On September 1, Harris County is ordered to dismantle their elections office and hand duties carried out by that office to county offices that have neither the staffing or experience to handle them. Anything can happen, but most likely, this law will be struck down some time after the Texas Supreme Court hears Harris County's argument against it in November.
Harris County Elections Office was too good at promoting voter turnout.

We've been saying they are fascists for a while, so this is no surprise, they will try whatever they can get away with and somethings they can't as we have seen. They need to make up their minds, do they want to wage civil war or civil politics and no game of denying the franchise or making it more difficult to register and vote. That is contrary to the basic ethos of the constitution and nation, it is one group of citizens making war on another, politics requires good will and that means accepting the will of the people, all the people.

The picture that will be remembered is the one where they slap the cuffs on him in court after being found guilty in Georgia on live TV. He might already be in custody and wearing orange coveralls in court on national TV, if the feds convict him first or he doesn't STFU and is jailed. Nothing says surrendered like orange coveralls and cuffs, perhaps all on national TV. What a spectacle as Donald freaks out and lunges over the table at the witness box when some rat is squealing his head off!

He realizes he is in trouble now and can’t believe it’s actually happening. He thought he would get away with his shit forever.
trump dies in a prison cell or the constitution is nothing more than words on a piece of parchment.

Thumb on the scales of justice?
House Republican aims to defund Trump prosecutions until 2024 election
Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) is proposing two amendments to an appropriations bill that would defund the various prosecutions of former President Trump.
He is adding to the defense of the former president mounted by Trump allies in the House as they circle the wagons in the face of four indictments.
Clyde, a member of the House Appropriations Committee, on Monday announced plans for two amendments to the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS) fiscal 2024 appropriations bill that would “prohibit the use of federal funding for the prosecution of any major presidential candidate prior to the upcoming presidential election on November 5th, 2024,” according to a press release.
One amendment would pertain to federal prosecutions and the other addresses federal funding for state prosecutions.
That bill, one of 12 regular appropriations bills, is expected to be marked up in the House Appropriations Committee after the House returns in mid-September.
Clyde said he is taking aim at special counsel Jack Smith, who has led charges against Trump relating to attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and retention of classified documents; Manhattan, N.Y., District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D), who charged Trump in relation to 2016 hush-money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels; and Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis (D), who charged Trump again in relation to the 2020 election.
“Due to my serious concerns about these witch hunt indictments against President Trump, I intend to offer two amendments to prohibit any federal funds from being used in federal or state courts to prosecute major presidential candidates prior to the 2024 election,” Clyde said in a statement. “The American people get to decide who wins the White House — not Deep State actors who have shamelessly attacked Donald Trump since he announced his first bid in 2015. It is imperative that Congress use its power of the purse to protect the integrity of our elections, restore Americans’ faith in our government, and dismantle our nation’s two-tiered system of justice. I’m fully committed to helping lead this effort, and I call on my House Appropriations colleagues to join me in this righteous fight.”
Other staunch allies of Trump in the House have also pledged to use the funding process to defund the prosecutions against Trump.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has said she would introduce an amendment to defund Smith’s office, and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) in July introduced a bill to do so. Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) earlier this month introduced a bill to defund Smith’s federal salary.
But because Clyde sits on the Appropriations Committee, he will have the first crack at getting a recorded vote on the matter.
Such an amendment could be contentious within the GOP. In July, a Clyde amendment to rescind funds for a new FBI building — a push supported by Republicans who have criticized the agency for alleged bias against Trump — failed due to lack of support from Republicans.
