The judge in the emoluments clause case cited this tweet from @realDonaldTrump to reject Trump's argument that any lawsuit would impose undue burdens on the presidency.
In this tweet, Trump actually invited a lawsuit from one of his enemies! He's got time, it seems.

1. We have this lovely proverb

Cock mouth kill cock - bwaaaaah.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

2. a variation here

Don't let your mouth overload your ass.

5. Bwaaaaaahah - still the winner is that famous quote by Omar Khayyam

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit. Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

The vile MAGAcretin wrote it himself.

There is so much shit he wrote that will determine his fate. That I can't wait.

Such a great quote.

41. I was once writing a manual for a computer text editor

If you were editing an existing file, up to a certain point, any changes you made could be rolled back. After you had committed your changes, it could not be rolled back. (Well, it could but that was a non-trivial task.) I wrote

The moving finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.

When my boss was looking over what I had written, he circled that quote in red and wrote "NO POETRY!" next to it.

So I changed it to "Your old text will softly and suddenly vanish away, and never be met with again." Apparently, my boss was unfamiliar with the final line of Lewis Carroll's poem, "The Hunting Of The Snark", since he let that go.

42. omg...

Thanks for that. I had to laugh.

43. Nice

45. I've been trying to memorize it again.

I knew it in college. Really brought back some memories and I appreciate it.

48. That one stuck in high school

The update is that given technological advances, anything you say is also on record.

3. Ha. Ha. What a foolish-mouthed idiot.

"Speak crossly and carry a big schtick" must be what he thinks a former president once said.

[politicaljunkie41910]

4. Trump claims that Brennan is the worst CIA Director in our country's history. I'd bet that Trump

couldn't name another CIA Director if his life depended. For the record, I'm betting that Trump will go down in history as the worse president in our country's history and we won't have to wait too long for it to come to fruition. It's already happening.

[malaise]

7. No! No! No! Worse is merely comparative

He will be the worst - a total and complete superlative.

[Ramsey Barner]

9. "Be Worst!"

Excellent

51. Just the way he likes it.

The mostest baddest worstest president this country has ever, or will ever, see.

[TomSlick]

6. In addition to being the worst President in history,

Trump is the worst client a lawyer ever had. I've had some humdingers but none that could hold a candle to Trump.

8. Is there a link to an article about this?

Tweets are fine, but what if we want to know more about what this judge said.

[NastyRiffraff]

12. Here ya go

Reuters, NYT, other major outlets have it also.

[RockRaven]

11. Not the first time a judge used a Trump tweet whilst finding against him,

and it sure as hell won't be the last.

I love it when they troll him thusly.

[grantcart]

13. Hilarious

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

14. Another great example for anyone who is objectively evaluating this pathetic excuse for a

human being. As if he knows enough about the CIA directors in American history to have any basis whatsoever to offer an objective judgement. What a fucking asshole we have for a pResident.

[defacto7]

15. How dumb does a president have to be

to not be able to handle the consequences of what he dishes out?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

16. Love these lines written by the court...

Snips from the WaPo article cited above:

The Justice Department “is attempting to delay discovery in our case,” said Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh (D), who brought the case along with D.C. Attorney General Karl A. Racine (D). “Their ultimate argument was that this the president of the United States, he’s too busy.”

But Messitte had rejected that argument earlier, and in this opinion he noted, wryly, that — instead of avoiding legal battles — Trump seems to seek them out while in the White House.

Messitte noted Trump’s threats to sue author Michael Wolff and former adviser Stephen K. Bannon, and Trump’s taunting of former CIA director John Brennan in August. After Trump revoked Brennan’s security clearance, Trump wrote on Twitter: “I hope John Brennan, the worst CIA Director in our country’s history, brings a lawsuit.”

“It bears noting that the President himself seems to have had little reluctance to pursue personal litigation despite the supposed distractions it imposes on his office,” Messitte wrote.

There is hope......

17. The comment

About not having anything to do, so he watched the Presidents rally sure doesn't help.

[VOX]

18. Hundreds of late-night rage-tweets will come home to roost.

For being such a “stable genius,” he’s left a trail of breadcrumbs a mile wide.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

22. Big problem w tweets though.

Unless someone watched him tweet it (god i hate that stupid word) Then it can be argued its not him. And it seems that, that's all thats required of repubs...just some argument. Like his sons..."atty/client priviledge" to defend not having to answer questions before the judiciary committee(?) Had no basis at all, but, they all nodded and gave him a pass. The tweets may not be the thing, unless it's proven HE typed them. Just a suggestion to think about. Honestly though, who knows. Nov. 6th cant get here fast enough. Seems like were waiting for the doorstep of 2025 at this pace.

[Cha]

23. trump being a "stable genius"..

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

25. NICE!!!!

Thats one unbelievable mane..You KNOW that son of a bitch was thinking ALLL about the hair at that point too. Not who he was talking to.

[VOX]

34. Hahaha Christ, that fucking "hair." That should have been the flashing "WARNING" signal right there.

His vanity has manifested itself in one of the weirdest adult hair-dos in the entire country.

It’s emblematic of the Con’s self-obsession and fragile ego, and is, in itself, a LIE.

[snort]

20. Whoot.

There is going to be a cascade of those who are not "Fucking Around".

[Cha]

21. Oh shit yeah.. trump has nothing

but time on his hands.. doesn't do anything but bark on his cell and bark at his hate rallies.

Funny as hell his own petard got him hoisted.. Once Again.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

24. Hope so Cha.

I like your new picture.

[Cha]

26. Hope so, too!

New picture? I've had these for quite awhile now.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

28. yes those. The one right under your name.

[Cha]

29. My avatar..

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

30. Im in outer space. I remember the ones below.

Sorry about that.
Senility. It's a bitch.

31. No worries!

Tell me about it.. We've all been there. lol

[klook]

32. LOL. He's petarded! (nt)

[peekaloo]

44. !

[libdem4life]

33. Doesn 't he average somewhere around 3 days a week golfing or goofing off?

And when he is "in the WH and at work" he spends his time tweeting and having re-election rallies. Oh, he has time all right.

[Gothmog]

35. I love it when the courts cites trump's tweets

[Blue Owl]

36. Whoops looks like tRump blew his own micro mushroom dick off

n/t

[Wounded Bear]

37. Trump strategy: Open mouth, insert foot, chew vigorously...

?itemid=8195648

[ooky]

38. Trump's got gobs of time to be sued.

He hardly does any work at all. All the time he spends either tweeting or playing golf alone is clear evidence of the time he has. No judge should allow that argument.

[Honeycombe8]

40. Just a question. Why are tweets being put into posts multiple times?

I guess there's a reason, but I started noticing recently that tweets in posts are being put in multiple times. The same tweet. Like this tweet in the OP is quotes three times. Is it a mistake, or ???? At first I thought it was a mistake, but it's so often that I now think it's not? Just asking!

[ck4829]

50. Kick

[Chemisse]

52. Ahhh, I do love it when his stupid words come back to bite him in the ass.

And the funny thing is, he never learns. He just keeps on spouting the idiocy.
