Keith Olbermann: 特朗普在华盛顿的选举颠覆案审判日期被推迟，这并非意外，但仍然令人担忧。法院日程中已删除了3月4日的审判日期，也没有设定新的日期。这种拖延战术成功地为特朗普争取了时间，可能使得纽约的"暴风丹尼尔斯"案能够在下个月开庭。对特朗普总统豁免权裁决的拖延，可能与法官Karen LeCraft Henderson试图帮助特朗普有关。尽管专家和记者的预测可能出错，但华盛顿对特朗普的审判几乎是确定的，因为官僚机构从不会出错。政府正在为特朗普的审判加强弗雷特曼法院的安保，这与三年前特朗普试图政变后采取的措施类似。同时，众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林的言行举止以及她对事实的歪曲，反映了美国面临的危机。她的无知和对事实的歪曲，以及她对政治对手的侮辱性言论，暴露了她自身能力的不足，也反映了美国教育体系的失败。此外，罗伯特·F·肯尼迪对他在TikTok上发表评论的解释显得十分牵强附会，缺乏逻辑，暴露了他对竞选活动的管理混乱。众议员迪恩·菲利普斯对批评的反应迟钝，错失了回应的机会。特朗普对审判结果的否认以及他对问题的回答，暴露了他的愚蠢和脱离现实。他的竞选资金不足，这解释了他将审判当作竞选活动的原因。一位保守派民调专家认为，特朗普想要再次赢得大选，需要争取所有拥有三条手臂的非裔美国男性选民的支持，这显示了民调工作的粗糙和对事实的不严谨。

Deep Dive

Key Insights

Why was the Trump election subversion trial in Washington postponed?

The trial was postponed due to the ongoing wait for an appeals court ruling on Trump's claim of presidential immunity. The Washington, D.C. federal court removed the trial from its calendar for March 4, 2024, and no new date has been set.

What measures are being taken to secure the Prettyman Courthouse for Trump's trial?

The federal government and the District of Columbia are planning to secure the Prettyman Courthouse by closing streets, controlling sidewalk access for blocks, and surrounding the area with metal fencing, similar to measures taken after the January 6th Capitol attack.

What is Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized for in this episode?

Marjorie Taylor Greene is criticized for her inability to pronounce 'indictable' correctly, her claims of dyslexia, and her offensive remarks referring to political opponents as 'retards.' Her behavior is described as a microcosm of broader societal issues, including the failure to address educational challenges.

What financial challenges is Trump facing according to the episode?

Trump is facing significant financial challenges, with two PACs spending $29 million on legal fees in the second half of 2023 and $47 million for the entire year. His leadership PAC has only $5 million left, and his total expenditures in 2023 exceeded his income by over $10 million.

What is the significance of the pollster's tweet about African-American voters with three arms?

The tweet, which included an AI-generated image of an African-American voter with three arms, highlights the sloppiness and lack of scrutiny in some political polling. The pollster, Patrick Ruffini, faced criticism for not noticing the obvious error in the image.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 116: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN

A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: TRUMP DC ELECTION SUBVERSION TRIAL POSTPONED. Still officially scheduled for a month from Sunday, it has in fact "fallen off" the Washington Federal Court Calendar and no new date has been set. Even as the District of Columbia and the federal government think of ways to protect the Prettyman Courthouse with metal fencing and street closures (just like right after Trump's January 6 coup), The Washington Post speculates the trial will allow for Trump's trial in New York on the Stormy Daniels Payoff Business Fraud to start next month instead. Either way, Trump's stall has worked. The DC District Appeals Court has yet to rule on his "Presidential Immunity" bullshit and fingers are pointed at the member of the three-judge panel who was appointed by George W. Bush.

ALSO: MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE is the worst person ever to serve in the United States House of Representatives. Her inability to pronounce "indictable" correctly is everything that's wrong with this country today, particularly our refusal to help the chronically stupid to heal themselves. More maddening, Greene has previously claimed a) that dyslexia runs in her family AND b) that her political opponents are "retards."

B-Block (22:48) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Steve Garvey assailed by three kids in an L.A. Times profile (the other 197 love him though). Moms For Liberty actually manages to outdo itself in what we used to call Bluenosing. And the pollster who has defined which group of voters can put Trump over the top: African-American Men With Three Arms.

C-Block (34:32) FRIDAYS WITH THURBER: His most famous, most imagination-stimulating work: "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty."
