I can't wait until Trump takes the stand...

Of course, first his lawyer will have to wake him up...

Dozo the Clown...

We all know there's normal "fair and balanced", and then there's "MAGA fair and balanced"...

Normal fair and balanced is a jury pool of noncommitted, impartial people...

MAGA fair and balanced is a jury pool of people wearing red MAGA hats, "Trump is Jesus" T-Shirts, and gold Trump sneakers...

And then things would only be truly "fair and balanced" if Clarence Thomas was the judge...

Welcome to MAGA-law-and-order-world...

More losing from the World's Greatest Former Loser-in-Chief....

I mean, when was the last time Trump won anything in court - his divorce from Marla?

One thing is for sure, even with the quack lawyers he hires, every time he opens his yap and admits to something, he just makes their job harder...

So keep flapping your lips Donald, tell us how your hid all that classified that was under court order to be returned, brag about how you approved those Repub operatives to break into the Georgia polling office to tamper with voting machines, and tell us again how you implemented Eastman's ILLEGAL scheme to create fake state electors...

And don't forget to insult E. Jean Carroll again, she's looking forward to tossing you out and moving into Mar-A-Lago...

More cowardice from the House Repubs...

The Senate bill has all three aid components and only requires it be out on the floor for a vote - one day and it's done and our allies and partners can start getting their help defending democracy...

But no...because of "Putin's Pawns" like MTG, Johnson takes this tortuous and complicated road that just delays everything...

Putin, Xi, and Hamas all thank the Repubs for their support...

Interesting to hear what our MAGA-friends here think should happen...

Should the Dems vote for Johnson and bail him out of his Repub insurrection?

Or should they side with your hero MTG and toss him out?

What's the "MAGA-thing" to do?

Are either of them on the jury now?

No.

So possibly biased jurors were removed.

What’s your problem?

They want Roger Stone as jury foreman...only way it could be MAGA-fair...

MAGA-world loves RFK Jr - he shares their view the COVID vaccine is poison while their Orange Apostle urges them to take it...

Wonder how many MAGA-minions will switch and vote for the guy that is trying to save them versus the guy trying to poison them...

lol you of all people should be wary of predictions this morning.

Not really.

Oh boy, here we go again...

Ukraine aid is a go and impeaching Mayorka is a no.

Again, no surprise and no win. Definitely not for the nation, but yeah, you guys have abortion. lol

Abortion? Life begin at conception? Permitting abortions to the 15th week killing babies?

No it doesn’t.

It absolutely does, and as someone who is from a border state, the average American or European has no clue what is going on, live along the border for a year and let’s have this conversation again. Wonder if AOC or Pelosi would do it,

Or you could just hire a bunch of illegal maids...

It shows the crazy caucus had nothing, again.

Well, that is what Myorkas and this administration are, that’s twice now we have agreed on something today..

Maybe we can agree on what "cutting to the quick" means...

hogan is winning by over 13 points and will win.

problem is that he is is a totally unreliable vote and will just replace Romney in a new unholy trinity of him, Collins and Murkowski.

so we really need 53-47 just to be safe.

Better call Dr Oz and Herschel Walker.....ROFL...

Had one, but the guy is being a bit squeezed.

Define "squeezed"...and "by who"...

More ridiculous pure political theater while Repubs insult one another and fail to pass bills helping protect our allies...

Nothing but a MAGA-clown show - one of several going on at the same time...

Just the latest example in a string that shows Xi has lost control of the CCP's rogue military...

Wanna know how desperate and depressed our MAGA-friends here are?

First they clearly post in black and white admitting that Trump had an affair with Stormy Daniels, then when pointed out that conflicts with Trump's denial, they try to deny what they said and is still posted above!

Then they are so rattled they say; "I have a list of 327 Democrats that cut Trump to the quick", failing to understand that "cutting to the quick" means to "deeply wound or cause distress"....

Lastly, they get so desperate they try to defend Trump by trotting out a failed legal argument that Trump's lawyers tried three months ago and were slapped down...

Welcome to MAGA-We're-Beyond-Desperate-World...

*Then explain what "You make it as if Trump was the fist human to have had an affair?" means...*

Kennedy, Clinton, Wiener, Johnson, King...all had affairs.

They weren't in your quote, Trump was: "Trump was the fist human to have had an affair"

You admitted it...he had an affair with Stormy...

*And once more, what's a "fist human"?*

First, typo.

You sure?

Self-own X2...

Keep trying, aim higher

I guess I cut you to the quick....ROFL..

You not only implied it, you admitted it

I did not,

Then explain what "You make it as if Trump was the fist human to have had an affair?" means...

And once more, what's a "fist human"?

What?

The Judge

Who?

One thing is for sure, there's not a better expert on serial lying than Trump...

Biden would top that, 50 years of it.

What?

Might want to research what "cut to the quick" means - you just self-owned...

Hardly, you shoot and kept missing...

Self-own X2...

So you can't refute any of it...

a state has no prosecutorial jurisdiction over a federal election. No “other crime” exists to make it a felony. Much less 34 felonies.

Better do a little more studying before you post - Trump's lawyers made that claim in one of their many failed attempts to delay the trial - it was shot down. That's why the trial is currently ongoing....

As your MAGA-cohort likes to say, "try again"...

opinion piece on Yahoo News? Is this 1995 now? Rofl

So you can't refute any of it...

Might want to re-read your own post on deflections...ROFL..

So what’s the state specific felony that makes supposed “falsifying business records” not a simple misdemeanor like the law says?

"But hush money payments alone aren’t illegal. And falsifying business records is only a misdemeanor. Here, the charges go further; Trump is charged with falsifying business records to conceal an agreement with others to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election. Trump’s alleged criminal intent to influence the outcome of the election would make the hush money payments illegal campaign contributions and elevate the misdemeanor to a felony — 34 felonies, to be exact.

So how will the district attorney’s office seek to prove Trump’s criminal intent to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election?

First, via witness testimony. The district attorney’s office will call witnesses to testify that Trump intended to influence the outcome of the election. Look for Cohen and David Pecker, then-chairman of American Media Inc., to testify about their agreement with Trump to catch and kill negative stories about Trump to assist with his campaign, including discussions with Trump about killing stories from Daniels and Karen McDougal. In addition, Hope Hicks, then the Trump campaign press secretary, may testify about her conversations with Trump and Cohen about the “Access Hollywood” tape, as well as Trump’s anger that it would hurt his campaign.

The district attorney’s office will also use Trump’s own words. Trump’s own words will help establish his intent to unlawfully influence the election. A 2016 audio recording shows that Cohen ran the hush money payment arrangements by Trump, including the amount and method of the payment and the need to open a company to make it. The recording demonstrates not only Trump’s knowledge of the payments, but also his concern that personal information (like divorce records) not be disclosed before the election: “All you’ve got to do is delay.”

Moreover, Trump initially denied knowing about the hush money payments when they were first reported — a provable lie. Only after law enforcement searched Cohen’s premises — and Trump realized he would be caught — did Trump acknowledge that he knew about the payments and had reimbursed Cohen for them. Trump’s lie exhibits his consciousness of guilt. Why would he lie if he thought he did nothing wrong?"

Get your orange MAGA crying towels ready...

Ask Melania if it's serious...

Did she say something recently?

Yea, "don't call me Mercedes!"....

BINGO! Thanks for admitting he is lying

I never said, nor implied that.

You not only implied it, you admitted it - Bass: You make it as if Trump was the fist human to have had an affair? By the way, what's a "fist human"?

about not having the affair....think he'll perjure himself when he takes the stand?

That depends on what your definition of "is" is.

What?

Sure, why sweat the guy you employed for 8 years as your "fixer" spilling his guts in court...

Who is a habitual liar?

Dozing Donald...

One thing is for sure, there's not a better expert on serial lying than Trump...

Oh, I have a list of 327 Democrats that cut Trump to the quick on that.

Might want to research what "cut to the quick" means - you just self-owned...

Is that the same 2/3 that say the charges are serious?

What is serious?

Ask Melania if it's serious...

Or the 2/3 that say they want trials held before the election? 

How about after? I mean, he’s not a flight risk.

ROFL...

Yes, when Stormy gets on the stand and describes sex with mushroom man while his wife was home with his newborn son, I’m sure they’ll just love him that much more.

You make it as if Trump was the fist human to have had an affair?

BINGO! Thanks for admitting he is lying about not having the affair....think he'll perjure himself when he takes the stand?

And when Cohen gets on the stand and talks about the documents entered into evidence, and Hope gets called and the Pecker tells about catch and kill, boy THEN the DA will be sorry…

When the last judge called Cohen “a serial liar” that should give pause and bit of ease that whatever comes out of his mouth is unbelievable. Trump should take a nice nap through that joke of a testimony. I would, not to mention, I’d be giggling my butt off.

Sure, why sweat the guy you employed for 8 years as your "fixer" spilling his guts in court...

One thing is for sure, there's not a better expert on serial lying than Trump...

Trump was out in the streets to cheers and large crowds outside the bodega after court today.

As large as the Muslim crowds he said he saw cheering on 9/11...

what would be hilarious is after seeing Trump for 6-8 weeks every day that New Yorkers realize he’s actually…..not that bad as the leftist media tries to make him to be.

After insulting the judge's daughter, they'll think he's worse...

and when Cohen is asked what he promised to say/do to get released from actual prison early.

In jail for working for Trump...

And when Stormy is asked why she hasn’t paid Trump the 400k the other courts ordered.

The same reason he hasn't paid E. Jean Carroll....or Rudy...

Be there- it’s Gonna be wild!

It's going to be a MAGA-comedy-fest...

Some MAGA-warriors are saying that Trump is the new OJ Simpson...you know, the "Orange Juice"...

Hey Mike, another one of your FELLOW REPUBS just said he'd support tossing you out on your can....how's that for "one team, one fight"?

Shortly after unveiling a plan to deliver foreign aid to key U.S. allies, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., forcibly came out against the House speaker's proposal in a closed-door conference meeting on Tuesday morning, announcing he would support an existing effort to oust Johnson.

Massie, along with conservative rabble-rouser Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., are calling on Johnson to step down from the top post. If he doesn't, they are threatening to call up a vote on the House floor that could supplant the speaker and send the chamber into another leadership vacuum.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/second-gop-lawmaker-backs-ousting-152444651.html

No doubt more FELLOW REPUBS from your own "Kook Caucus" team will join this effort to stab you in the back...

Better get start groveling to Dem Hakeem Jeffries if you want to keep your job...

Judge Juan Merchan cautioned Trump at one point that his muttering was audible to one juror who faced scrutiny over social media posts.

Wonder what he was "muttering"?

Probably "Bing, Bang, Whoosh, (unintelligible), Ding!"

Maybe he was wondering why "Mercedes" wasn't there supporting him...

Or he could be complaining that this prospective juror looked like an "illegal adleeitathin"....

Welcome to MAGA-I'm-Going-to Prove-I'm-A-Clown-World...

Come on Repubs, stop being Putin's Puppets and Trump's Turncoats...

Grow a pair for a change and start supporting democracy and freedom....

Liz Cheney has a bigger pair than all the male House Repubs put together...

The big problem here is that while sound minded people will logically be against Trump and call themselves out as not being fit to be jurors in this case, Trump supporters are the kind of people that would never have the honesty to give up an advantage to help their idol. I'm afraid the replacing of jurors will just continue until most of them consists of pro trump people.

True, but I kind'a think their attire - red MAGA hat, "Trump That Bitc*" T-Shirt, Nazi tattoos, Confederate flag pins, and Trump gold tennis shoes will give them away...

I think Turley says it best. If any liberal should know how these people think it’s this constitutional law professor.

Indeed...

"As details emerged from the shocking indictment against the former president where prosecutors outlined numerous instances of Trump allegedly hiding classified documents and showing them to people, Fox News brought on legal commentator Jonathan Turley to break down the case.

His analysis: It's not good for Trump.

"It is an extremely damning indictment," Turley, a conservative jurist and the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University, said.

Good thing Trump didn't look out the window and see how few of his supporters showed up to help defend him....but those few that did show up were true, hard-core MAGA-warriors...

"Of the people willing to step up to a microphone outside the courthouse and defend Mr Trump for allegedly paying off a porn star to hide his alleged affair from prospective voters, two offered something of a wild defense: that they opposed the charges because they too had paid for sex on more than one occasion, and assumed most men had done the same. “That’s what we do as men, you know?”

Obviously this individual also recently purchased a Trump bible...

"Another supporter, who identified himself as “Gary from Staten Island,” delivered an animated and updated interpretation of Dwight D Eisenhower’s speech on the military-industrial complex to a confused reporter from German television news, expertly connecting the dots between the war in Ukraine, the British establishment and Stormy Daniels."

Indeed, it's just so obvious that Stormy Daniels is in cahoots with Zelensky and Sunak....

He got it only partially right - he forgot to include Taylor Swift...

Welcome to MAGA-the-crazy-is-off-the-scale-world...

And now we get from a Trump-insider what Melania really thinks about her husband's indiscretion...

"Grisham had earlier revealed in an interview with CNN that Melania reacted very strongly to the news of her husband's affair. According to the former aide, the mother of one "didn't take it lightly at all," leading to tensions in the White House at the time.

She also explained Melania's decision to attend the State of the Union separately, revealing that she didn't want to emulate Hillary Clinton, who stood by her husband, Bill Clinton, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Similar to the initial emergence of the Daniels allegations, Grisham also believes that the current trial situation has caused concern for Trump. She claimed that Melania finds the situation "very embarrassing" and "humiliating," saying this was the reason behind Donald's worry."

https://www.yahoo.com/news/ex-aide-alleges-donald-trump-151506030.html

No wonder Trump is flubbing so many words, he's worried he'll either be heading to jail or going back to face Melania's holding one of his golf clubs...

Better get a dark blue football helmet to match your dark blue suit...ROFL..

Hilarious letter to USA Today....

"I would like to personally thank PRESIDENT Donald Trump for having the guts to sit in a Manhattan courtroom and stand up for my God-given right to face allegations that I slept with an adult film star and then paid her off in order to win an election.

Like most Americans, I have an ever-present fear that I will one day become embroiled in a hush money scandal involving an actress featured in the classic 2002 film “Trailer Trash Nurses 6." So I was both humbled and relieved to see Trump post this on social media before his trial began Monday morning: “When I walk into that courtroom, I know I will have the love of 200 million Americans behind me, and I will be FIGHTING for the FREEDOM of 325 MILLION AMERICANS!”

Damn right!

MY president is out there fighting for MY freedom in the event I ever face a 34-count felony indictment charging me with scheming to benefit my presidential campaign by burying allegations of lurid sexual affairs.

That could theoretically happen to me at any time, so I thank the Lord that Donald Trump is willing to take the slings and arrows of the liberal law-followers who might attempt to hold me accountable for something “illegal.”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/thank-donald-trump-fighting-embroiled-193520795.html

ROFL..

Trump has said he plans to testify in his own defense, a risky move that could open him to cross-examination.

And that will be comedy gold...

In addition to the series of "Bing, Bam, Whoosh, (unintelligible), Bing!"....we'll get a few other gems like at his rally yesterday;

"In further xenophobic rants, he seemed to try to tell a story about an “illegal alien,” but struggled to pronounce the word “alien,” instead coming up with something like: “An illegal adleeitathin, and you just look at this what’s happening, it’s it crazy? Really?”

https://washingtonpress.com/2024/04/14/aphasia-mental-deterioration-on-excruciating-display-at-pennsylvania-trump-rally/

I can't wait until Trump takes the stand, then points at the court reporter and says; "That man is an illegal adleeitathin!"....

Our MAGA-friends can hide their eyes and delude themselves all they want, Trump is showing us each day his clear mental deterioration...

I've been saying for at least a year he'll be in a cell before Nov - I think it's now just as likely he'll be institutionalized...
