My then 11 year old granddaughter went to NYC with her parents and older sister a few years back. Older sis was on a band trip, the band got to play at Carnegie Hall.
Younger sis was bored while the two days of band prep were going on, so her parents took her to a Broadway show, and to Madame Tussaud’s. The wax effigy of Drumpf at the latter had tinier hands than the 11 year old, they got pics of a side by side comparison. Hilarious!
Haha, I read this entire post confusing Kayley whatsherface with Jenna Ellis and thinking: "Wait, didn't she just flip on PAB?"
Also a reminder that Graydon Carter of Spy mag coined the "short-fingered vulgarian" insult back in the day. It wasn't meant to refer to...other regions *ugh*
I spent all of yesterday gobsmacked at the behavior of everyone on Team Trump. Have none of them ever even been in a courtroom? Did they not bother to coach him in preparation for today? And really, Alina, you're not going to tolerate the judge yelling at you for yelling at him first? This isn't some shitty boyfriend whose key you take away before kicking him to the curb.
Glenn Kirschner and a couple other legal talking heads think this is all calculated, and maybe it is. I dunno. The dysfunction of these people is unreal.
They don't care about the courtroom, they know they've already lost the case. They're a) doing performative nonsense to rile up PAB's base, and b) as Amelia said, they're trying to provoke the judge so that they can base an appeal on "he totally hated us! Biiiiaaaasss!"
I'm wondering if they realize the appellate court gets to see all the transcripts and videos and whatnot, which will include them showing their ass at every opportunity. You don't get a reversal when you behave like a spoiled brat. It's not like playing mom and dad off one another so you still get a cookie.
From what I've read elsewhere, Dumph's "attorneys" are trying to antagonize the judge in order to pave a positive outcome for an appeal. Totally on-brand, and also excruciating :(
I was actually thinking early on that they were purposely flubbing so Trump could declare incompetent counsel or some such. But yeah, any way they could spin it, I suppose.
Oh, I saw a different sketch that did look more like his ugly self (the same artist that did Jr and looked like a bum clown=perfect) and kinda have to agree with Kayliar here as this sketch looks like Lindsey Graham...who must be thrilled since he grew his hair out so he could do the comb-over like his lesion does.
I can't comprehend the worship this asshole engenders. If Donald Trump was seated next to a MAGAt at a bar, I'd give him five minutes before the MAGAt just got fed up and beat the shit out of him just to shut him up.
She's not going to tolerate it, huh? Her and what army? He's the judge; you're just a lawyer in his courtroom. He can fine you or jail you. You can go outside and whine about him.
Don't let half-speaker Mike Johnson know that all the FOX "news" dudes are fantasying about Defendant Trump's little mushroom. He might want to pass a law requiring all FOX "news" members to be part of his circle-jerk phone app.
When my grandparents were young in Baltimore (Nanny would turn 113 today) they went to Dr. Wells.
His wife was a courtroom sketch artist. Saw Betty on ‘Booknotes’, gave her a call & introduced myself. She remembered Nanny & Daddy. I bought several copies of her fascinating book as gifts, and she signed my copy. We remained in touch by snail & phone until her death. Google Betty Wells-artist.
She defined the craft, which has deteriorated immeasurably, like a lot of things in D.C.
After that outburst, I doubt that New Jersey parking lot will have a place left for Alina Habba once she ages out of her Fox commentatorship in 3 years.
So the two Fox dipsticks seem to know what they're talking about (you know what I mean). Are they saying they've been up close and personal with Dear Leader's mushroom? Just asking questions.
Cameron in Kentucky received trump's endorsement today and is bragging about it. Why would you want the endorsement of a person who acted like a 3 year old in court yesterday? Why would you want the votes of people who think that's great stuff?
I was a lawyer for a long time (now long retired) and in my memory judges were all powerful in their courtrooms . If one told you to sit down, you sat down and STFU.. Ms Habba may find that she doesn't enjoy being held in contempt.
She's already been fined $5000 for her "client's" oral sharting, and I haven't seen any reports of her being given a burlap sack with a cartoon $ on it for a retainer, so I can see why she's more sensitive to being told to sit in the corner, baby. Financial penalties would hurt her much more than Kise, who got a $3 million retainer up front.
When does the judge decide he's had enough? Fines being levied (and probably never paid) don't seem to have any effect on the contemptuous behavior of either the defendant or his legal team. What does it take for them to be ordered to spend a few nights in jail to remind them that this is a serious legal proceeding, not one of Dear Leader's sideshow rallies? Is it setting a precedent to put a former "president" in jail? So be it. I thought "no man is above the law". This clown is no longer in office and is in court as an ordinary citizen. If you or I acted like that in court, there is no doubt we would be confined very quickly.
Cannon is off in her own "beautiful" mind. That said, the other judges are walking on eggshells, arrayed on hot coals, themselves arrayed on beds of nails, to avoid anything that would resemble an excuse to whine [more] about a mistrial.
Engoron only appears to have the patience of a saint, because he doesn't want the Court of Appeals to overturn his [stayed] ruling dissolving the Trump org.

Hands too big, ass too small

what is wrong with her eyes? they look like they need a shave.
These are broken people

OK, so, I hope you are happy that "snickerdoodle" is ruined now.
Well, "mushroom" was already ruined, so...

OK, she was a strip-mall lawyer, is that correct? I thought I made that up

Well that was the kiss of death, Beshesr was just called the winner.
Because they are sociopaths and they stick together with the GQP cult. Criminals spot criminals.
