The trials of Donald J. Trump began Today in a New York courtroom, where he arrived to fight a civil fraud case that imperils his company and threatens his image as a master of the business world. Trump was livid, and totally out of control outside of the Manhattan courtroom where his fraud trial got underway on Monday. Opening statements by the state of New York were kept simple. No new evidence was revealed, but Trump was literally physically nudging his lawyers and urging them to fight back in court.
Thanks for the transcript. He's furiously spewing random words. 99% incomprehensible is generous, Tom. But his cult calls that "presidential material."
Complete Sentences cause his followers confusion. They listen for trigger words and dig whistles. PS, they hated English Class during sentence diagramming periods
If I were a betting man, and I'm not, I might bet that he thinks sitting like that will somehow intimidate the judge because his glare is so powerful. Meanwhile, the judge is thinking, "Do I need to call a recess so he can relieve his constipation?"
Mr. Witch. The hunt is over! We have you! The only question now is what we do with you. You talked about Gen. Miller being a Traitor, and what punishments were meted out to traitors. Let's go back to the history and see what was done to witches, huh?
“Trump sat at the defense table like a truculent pre-teen brought up before the principal, arms crossed and scowling, occasionally rolling his eyes at the judge and yawning during the duller portions of the proceeding.”
You nailed it TC! ⭐️ Not the normal behavior of an adult and certainly not presidential material.
Trump glowers. The pain of not being able to pitch a petulant hissy fit clearly was more than he could deal with. Thus that he rant that even Fox cut. I love it!
he needs somebody to give him one of those shots suspended in mustard gas, so he only needs one every six months. every time he opens his mouth, he gets himself in deeper.
from a purely psychological point of view, watching him is sometimes even kind of interesting (how's that for qualifying?). but I like most first-person accounts of what it's like to go mad. in this case, the crazy person isn't especially conscious of the legal harm he's doing to himself.
As excruciating yet exquisite as a slow-motion wreck, one just can't look away. We can see the trees trembling on the hillside above as the train goes into the tunnel. Rocks begin to tumble down toward the bridge after the tunnel exit.
Will the loser break, and lose it in a public melt down. Might he have a giant red-faced blubbering tantrum so we can mock, ridicule, and laugh at him for the rest of his miserable days? Please, I need to breathe again.
I abstained for many years (after an acid trip involving food poisoning and a few days of mild toxic psychosis in 1972), but mushrooms are just so EASY to HANDLE.
thank you, Karen. it's one of the few pictures I have that are actually full-face and taken within the last decade. (this is 2018, when we were all MUCH younger and there might have been a day or two uncorrupted by fierce, abiding hatred).
I figured it'd be a nice change of pace. or something.
I have very few pictures of me in the last decade. I try to avoid the camera these days. But I found one from several years ago. I must have had a little wine for this one😹
It's entertaining to take everything djt says and turn it around backwards and inside out like a dirty sock to discover the truth about where the dirt comes from. TC, I wish you would run for office. Your campaign would singe the trappings of your opponents!
Dead in the water. His faulty motor spewing gas fumes and turning the boat in a circle, ass of a stern dipped below the water line. Useless and sinking.
If I’m not mistaken, all the actions against chump were initiated before his declaration to run. After all, his crimes have been front and center for all the world to see ever since the moron decided to put himself under the political microscope. Being president is his only get out of jail free card, and path to revenge.
No, if you recall, he announced his candidacy two weeks after last year's elections, hoped that DOJ wouldnty go after a "political candidate" or he could claim "election interference" as he does.
You would think that living in the pockets of lawyers as he does now he would pick up SOME legal vocabulary, if not knowledge. "Why is it that he didn’t honor the decision of the appellate?" The appellate? Is that sort of like a Cardinal? And what 5-0 decision is he talking about? The only defendant barred by the Statute of Limitations was Ivanka, because she had left the Trump Org (he also isn't being sued for anything done before the statute ran, only after). Or is he talking the temporary pause of the appeals court? Has he missed the memo that that was lifted? Are his lawyers too scared to tell him?
Right. Hurl the baloney because the low-info types will think he's a mighty swordsman sabering the system. "Did you hear that, Billy Bobby? The appellate made a decision and deez guys are just ruining America."
I just don’t believe it was an accident to opt out of a jury trial. The suggestion of legal malpractice seeds hopes of claiming this a mistrial down the road. It also feeds right-wing conspiracies. No--these lawyers knew better than to put tRump in front of a jury. The man couldn’t tolerate having an audience hear his misdeeds, his corruption, cheating and lawlessness. They literally wouldn’t be able to keep tRump in his seat if a jury was involved. As it is, they are going home with bruised elbows and the echoes of an enraged animal ringing in their ears each night.
It sounds cliche at this point, but tRump is a malignant narcissist. If you’ve never dealt with a narcissist of this caliber, it’s hard to understand the responses tRump will have whenever he is called to accountability. Like his niece said, he will burn down the house around him.
Trust me: It was no accident that a non-jury trial was chosen.

His cult all share one brain cell. And even that one is defective.
Perfect Karen.😁👍
That single brain cell accounts for the cult’s collective single digit IQ!
Spot on!!

Just like I said back in 2016...the emperor has no clothes and now Attorney General Leticia James has proven it...Sweet
If I were a betting man, and I'm not, I might bet that he thinks sitting like that will somehow intimidate the judge because his glare is so powerful. Meanwhile, the judge is thinking, "Do I need to call a recess so he can relieve his constipation?"
As Lawrence pointed out tonight, he was there to campaign, which was what he did outside the courtroom.
Only for morons, otherwise PUKE
😹

General Milley. (Beware autocorrect)
Warlock, please. It's masculine.
Warlock, witch, whatever. I think my point was clear enough.

Sorry, folks. It was written just before I went to bed and I was fuzzy.
I think he only has 100 words in his vocabulary 🙄
Ha! Tayama, I think you are right! And I laughed out loud. Thank you.
Seriously. After 7 years it’s so boring 🤣
Over and over and over

Trump & the press: I hear the world's smallest violin playing.
Can hardly wait for Engoron's
final ruling.😁
I read recently that before Engoron attended an Ivy League law school that he was a cabbie, so he's got real world experience with baloney flingers.

isn't it BEAUTIFUL?
in its way, of course.
As excruciating yet exquisite as a slow-motion wreck, one just can't look away. We can see the trees trembling on the hillside above as the train goes into the tunnel. Rocks begin to tumble down toward the bridge after the tunnel exit.

what you said.
If he weren’t as dangerous as Putin
Love your new avatar pic David.
I'm not too crazy about mirrors either. in that Avatar picture, there's a good chance I was in the middle of a mycological investigation.
...hence the benign smile
Lucky guy. I haven’t partaken in one of those for many years. I had some great ones on the beach when I lived in California many moons ago.
I have absolutely no doubt about that, Karen.
I abstained for many years (after an acid trip involving food poisoning and a few days of mild toxic psychosis in 1972), but mushrooms are just so EASY to HANDLE.
good, clean fun, I say.
too clean, but...
thank you, Karen. it's one of the few pictures I have that are actually full-face and taken within the last decade. (this is 2018, when we were all MUCH younger and there might have been a day or two uncorrupted by fierce, abiding hatred).

To you
The miracle of capitalism. The visible hand.
TC and history.
Dead in the water. His faulty motor spewing gas fumes and turning the boat in a circle, ass of a stern dipped below the water line. Useless and sinking.
Salud, TC.

I love seeing him enraged— hey with all that junk food could be a little heart attack in his future…just sayin.

Thank you for correction. Sure thought it was a tad later. Should have Googled.

He is just repeating his previous rants, with likely no connection to reality.
That's all he's got. The Big Lie must be repeated endlessly.
Right out of Mein Kampf, and if Murphy's translation is to be believed, the bigger the better.
Right. Hurl the baloney because the low-info types will think he's a mighty swordsman sabering the system. "Did you hear that, Billy Bobby? The appellate made a decision and deez guys are just ruining America."
