Saturday Dose of Democracy:

Attorney Roberta Kaplan says Trump threw papers across table at Mar-a-Lago deposition because his legal team agreed to feed her lunch
The disgraced ex-president, furious that he was finally being held accountable for just one of his many, many, many transgressions in his 77 years of privilege-fueled chaos, demanded that attorneys working on his incredibly expensive rape defamation case work straight through a lunch break because the deposition, which took place at Mar-a-Lago, was "a waste of [his] time." When Roberta Kaplan — the lead attorney for E. Jean Carroll — rejected the request, the serial grifter and noted sex pest did what he does best: he threw a huge temper tantrum, launching a pile of documents and exhibits across the room before storming out like a toddler. Very stable genius.

Trump using sleazy old trick to scam his voters on massive legal fees
Reports this week revealed that Donald Trump’s fundraising committees channeled an extraordinary $50 million toward bankrolling his myriad legal defenses throughout 2023. Such sordid trickery has a long history on the right: for decades, shrewd fundraising gurus have raked in cash from conservative voters with hallucinatory alarmism about leftist villains and other apocalyptic threats. With his latest con job, it turns out Trump may have outdone them all. Grifters gone grift, grift, grift, grift, grift...

Republican congressman casually suggests US should just throw arrested migrant to his death out of helicopter like Pinochet used to do
Freshman GOP Rep. Mike Collins, who previously made headlines when he hired a convicted animal abuser with a sordid criminal background as his chief of staff, sparked fresh anger and disbelief with the outrageous suggestion that murderous tactics that were deployed by the Chilean dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet be used on a recently detained undocumented migrant. Responding to a fellow Republican congressman's tweet, Collins wrote, "Or we could buy him a ticket on Pinochet Air for a free helicopter ride back.” In case you're wondering, "Pinochet Air" refers to the so-called "death flights" conducted by the murderous dictator’s secret police, during which critics and dissidents disappeared after being thrown out of helicopters into the ocean and rivers. Good one, Mike!
