tRump's favorite aid, Margo "The Fun Melania" Martin is by his side.

She looks younger than his daughter.

That's a good one.
I should also add that there are probably 'situations' where I'd believe anything Stormy said. There are no times where I could say the same for Trump.

---

Well, that's a bit much.
I mean, I'd believe Trump if he was dragged onto the guillotine stage and he squealed and said he didn't want to go.
I'd also believe him if the blade began traveling in super duper x-mo slow-mo, but at a continuous rate, and he said, "it hurts, it hurts like hell!"


Good. Cause that's where you're going, buddy.



… How much do you suppose that could raise in pay-per-view? Cause I'd pay each and every time I watched it!

I've now gotten two serious (appearing) replies to obvious (to me) comments that I made involving Republican politicians, Noem and Trump. Both comments were old guy, over the top, sexual innuendos. You guys need to lighten up. Or not...keep grinding. (that last comment was addressed to Stormy)

Oh, I appreciated your serious honest assessment that Trump is untrustworthy!!!
But there was nothing sexual or over the top about my post. I mean, I'd truly pay - A LOT!!! How much are we talking here?

Let's light this candle.

Hopefully the judge addresses this false statement so that there is no doubt in the impaired minds of his supporters …

Uh, you think his supporters would be receiving the memo?
They are lied to and misled by their media interpreters.

America is in serious trouble!
The other thread discussed the national debt. Even if all Americans heard and "got" the correct message about what is needed to deal with that, they/we would all (collectively, both parties) choose to ignore it and drive the ship toward the rocks.
Add Trumpism on top and it's (we're) simply a mess.

Trump said that the gag order prevents him from testifying on his own behalf.

Bwahahahahahaha !!!

What a DUMB ARSE MOTHER- FER.

---

It's his followers who will believe it who are dumb.

Trump said the Jury is probably 95% Democrats.
Lawrence O'Donnell criticized Trump for saying this because Trump has no idea what party they are.
I took a different interpretation.

Trump lawyers have been given the jurors names. No doubt Team Trump has done a lot of background work on the Jurors, so they can bump them off - I'm surprised that game hasn't already begun. There are 12 jurors plus 6 alternates. If Team Trump, through it's detective background work, can bump off 7 of the 18, the case is immediately declared a mistrial and must start over. Delay delay delay.

So, when Trump expresses his frustration at the Jury pool, he's actually telling us what he knows. They are democrats, and they are thus far impeccable.

HA HA HA, You LOSER Trump.

LOL.
Lawrence O'Donnell is always so cutting to Trump.
He goes on with a description of how he slumps in the chair like an elderly man with a weak spine. "He's so small."
He then goes on to talk about how Trump is in jail in the courtroom.

O'Donnell could write some wicked poetry in a later career after he's no longer on TV, like a modern Edgar Allan Poe.

It took forever to convict John Gotti, and they gave up trying after 4 trials against the son. They will never get tRump for the same reason. You only have to threaten one juror (and their family).

Upon leaving court today, Donald Trump said he's not allowed to testify because of the gag order, which is not accurate.

tRump made that false statement for one of the following reasons:

1. He previously announced that he would testify at the trial. He doesn't want his supporters to think that he is a coward that chickened out, and he assumes they are just stupid enough to believe this explanation;

2. He is as dumb as a dump truck full of turnips;

3. He is a pathological liar;

4. He is simply making a joke and being a troll.

We knew he could not testify because 1) He is guilty and truthful testimony would just supply another coffin nail to the prosecution; and
2) Even if his defense counsel was willing to script a plausible false narrative that could be helpful to his defense, tRump is too stupid to read and process such a script and to improvise should the need arise during cross.

Hopefully the judge addresses this false statement so that there is no doubt in the impaired minds of his supporters that the gag order has no impact on tRump's constitutionally protected right to testify on his own behalf.

At the end of the day, nobody said it better than tRump himself:

---

I think a sneaky lawyer told him to say it. A prosecutor isn't allowed to draw a negative inference from a defendant's choice not to testify. That being the case, the prosecution is barred from correcting Trump's bold faced lie. Of course, everyone else (including Michael Cohen) can call him out but Trump knows that anything he says will be covered and anything anyone else says will be lost in the noise.

So Trump gets to bait everyone with a stupid lie. If they ignore it he wins and if they address it he wins even bigger.

A really uniquely talented courtroom artist named Isabelle Brourman captured the moment Trump saw Lawrence while leaving the courtroom. She said "Trump went 'full Joker' on Lawrence" to describe Trump's glaring sneer:

Too bad I can't "Attach a file" (as with an email) to show everybody the screenshot I got of her drawing.

Is there an easy way to copy an image I downloaded to my hard drive to this post?

The Don acts exactly like a mob boss. Nevertheless, I would still tell him to his face "I want to see you in an orange jump suit!" Too bad I'll never get the chance.

Once again, I respectfully disagree with you about one detail regarding Trump. First of all, "They" have already "gotten" him twice: in the E. Jean Carroll sexual harassment and defamation case, and in the New York fraud case, and he's going to pay a pretty sum for being held accountable.

I admit it will be harder to convict him criminally, but -- unless there is jury nullification a la OJ -- the evidence will show beyond a reasonable doubt Trump is criminally guilty as charged.

---

There is ZERO chance trump is acquitted here. No way unanimous not guilty. But it could be a hung jury. And in that case Trump will declare himself 100% innocent of all charges and that will be the FoxNews headline, just like with his impeachment trials.
It'll be a 11-1 joke.

Today is the " Et tu, Brute?" moment with Hope Hicks on the stand.

Methinks that during his hallway presse at the end of the day tRump will lift from Francis Albert when he says:
"I always knew Hicks was a buck and a half hook-ah."


tRump Hope'in in better days.


"According to Frank's former manager, he told Trump to "go f@uck himself" after the billionaire refused to meet Frank's fee for a 1990 performance at an Atlantic City casino."
-The Guardian

OMG
Sounds like Hope Hocks is destroying Trump.

Moo hoo hoo, haa haa haaaaa!!!!!!!!

"Grab them by the P" is finally taking him down.

As has been pointed out, Trump is being treated with kid gloves:

BREAKING: Donald Trump posts video from Steve Bannon’s show attacking Justice Merchan’s daughter, again violating his gag order. https://t.co/b9ql6IdrIc

Adam Schiff, a strong opponent of Trump who led the Dossier witch hunt against him accusing Trump of being a Russian asset, paid 12 million dollars to Authentic, the lobbying and marketing company that the judges daughter is Chief Operating Officer of. Trump is gagged from mentioning it. That is one example of the money paid to the judges daughter's partisan company, which caters to Democrats who hate Trump with a passion. You think they are treating him with kid gloves?

Lawrence O'Donnell is supposed to be in the courtroom today. He should have a skewering show tonight.

CNN's Anderson Cooper is also in the courtroom and they are talking about him because he moderated the debate with Hillary 2 days later.

The jury must be like, "fuuuuuuukkkkk, they're all here!!"
