Donald J Trump: Rip Van Winkle edition

his hail-mary gambit for the trial was to spill a pitcher of water on his lawyer’s tight white tshirt during a pivotal moment, but without a jury there’s kinda no opportunity that would distract from all the evidence of obvious crimes

Great info on Trump’s delusions and continuing descent.

I see his lawyer no longer brings her gamer laptop to court, so there’s increasing professionalism on the part of Team Trump.

Just skimmed the article. On a completely unrelated note, how big a deal do we think this is.

While rapping alone in your office, don’t see it as an issue so long as it’s in the song.

But as Chris Rock says, gotta be in the song. Can’t freestyle n-words left and right.

You might win this one on a technicality, but still better for me to keep that word out of my mouth regardless.

This was paid, or he wouldn’t be on the stand.

I get that, but that’s not the question. If you discover someone does that, do you judge them for it? Does it make them bad person? If you otherwise thought well of them, do you think less of them now?

On one hand I get it, you don’t want to get all the way through the process only to have the SC be all “Fuck you no” but at the same time why even bother inviting these partisan fuckheads into the proces?

If they’re gonna play Calvinball it’s better to have it happen sooner rather than later. That said, I’m sure they have 0 interest in speeding things up so they’ll probably let the appeals process play out in the DC Circuit and drain a month or two off the clock, then drain a bunch more time while they “consider” the arguments afterwards. If they get really lucky Trump will get a 2/3 Trump judge panel in the lower court and they can run some serious clock.

Smith is simultaneously trying to get the DC Circuit Court to expedite their appeal process on the immunity stuff.

Joe Biden better get ready to do some serious crimin’ if this verdict drops the way we expect!

I’d be shocked if the Supreme Court has any interest in expediting anything; the deplorable play is clearly to run the clock out until the god-king is annointed.

Not sure which thread is the best Guiliani landing spot.

the real question here is why DIDN’T trump pardon himself on the way out? because the only play now is hope to stall long enough to get back in and pardon himself, right?

Well, it would have been challenged. And he would have been admitting he was guilty of criminal acts that would be relevant to potential state charges he couldn’t pardon himself for. Or maybe he just fucked up the paperwork.
