In a new legal filing, Trump, a convicted felon, complains about the former California attorney general's "prosecutor vs. felon" campaign taunts.

    “Harris immediately framed her candidacy with a specific false reference to this case as a contest of ‘prosecutor vs. convicted felon,’” Trump’s filing says.

    Harris’ framing is an “inaccurate attack,” it adds, without describing an inaccuracy. Harris is a former district attorney for San Francisco and attorney general for California; in May, Trump became the first former president convicted of a felony.

    This is straight out of the reich wing playbook; they’ll complain about how this or that is a lie, but they will never fucking ever actually specify what was the part that was incorrect. They just go “librul lies!” and their base eats it the fuck up

      If you’ve ever known a particular type of abusive person, this is a pretty standard tactic. Information I don’t want you to say is “lies,” and if you say it, I will attack you. Information I want you to say is “the truth.” These categories are extremely consistent and play a pivotal role in the abuse; if you view the terminology in that light, a lot of things (like not even pretending there is some factual backing needed for the claim of “an inaccurate attack”) start to make sense.

        Oh yeah, there’s some research pointing towards conservatives being more likely to have dark triad personality traits (see for example this article) so this isn’t very surprising

    Trump’s “regurgitated” complaints about Loren Merchan’s work with Harris have already failed twice, including at the appellate level, and amount to little more than “overheated, hyperbolic rhetoric,” prosecutors added.

    At some point, you have to quit filing the same garbage motion over and over again with slightly different details.
