Lawyer Compares Trump to Jesus Christ Ahead of Expected Indictment

An attorney known for defending January 6, 2021 Capitol riot participants compared former President Donald Trump to Jesus Christ in light of his rumored arrest next week.

Trump on Saturday morning claimed on his Truth Social platform that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday in connection with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation into him. Bragg's office has been probing the former president's alleged involvement in a scheme to pay "hush money" to adult film star Stormy Daniels in 2016. The case recently began to pick up steam, with signs indicating that a criminal indictment was approaching.

Joseph D. McBride, a conservative lawyer known for defending several January 6 defendants, took to Twitter on Saturday with a reaction to Trump's claim about an impending arrest. He compared Trump's situation to the death and resurrection of Jesus. He also urged Trump supporters to protest the potential arrest peacefully, and to vote to reelect him in 2024.

Elon Musk Apologizes to Disabled Twitter Employee He Mocked Publicly

Twitter CEO and supreme overlord Elon Musk apologized to former employee Haraldur Thorleifsson for mocking his disability, proving that even tech’s biggest villain has a heart, or at the very least the sense to smell a huge incoming lawsuit.

In a tweet on Tuesday afternoon, Musk stated that he had spoken with Thorleifsson—who goes by “Halli”—in a video call “to figure out what’s real vs what I was told,” admitting that it was better to actually talk to people face to face than to communicate via tweet. The billionaire went on to say that he had misunderstood the situation Thorleifsson, who suffers from muscular dystrophy and uses a wheelchair, was in and added that he had offered the former employee his job back.

Elon Musk Goes All In On Jan. 6 Denial

Twitter CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday joined the right-wing chorus denying that a violent riot took place at the U. S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after Fox News aired cherry-picked footage of the incident provided by Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Replying to the communications director of a Freedom Caucus-aligned organization who alleged that members of the House committee investigating the riot had lied, Elon took to his social media platform to write: “Besides misleading the public, they withheld evidence for partisan political reasons that sent people to prison for far more serious crimes than they committed. That is deeply wrong, legally and morally.”

This always seems to happen in particular with Spanish and Latin American girls named Carla, hence being coined the Carla situation:

You meet an incredibly attractive girl named Carla at some social gathering. You both hit it off immediately and there is clearly mutual attraction and flirting. You get her contact information and start chatting. However, the very next time you meet up with her and her friends she is flirting with another guy at the club/party and ends up going home with him. What do you do?
