Most other criminal defendants have their families with them when they’re on trial, some of them for crimes far more heinous than those the Yam is on trial for.
Why isn’t the fair Melania in NY with the Yam so that they could celebrate her birthday together? I’ll tell you why. She can’t stand the thought of being in the same state as he, much less in the same room. And frankly, I can hardly blame her. Although, she’s not much better than he is, when it comes to certain issues. Like having a soul. Or a conscience.
“Just one more question. Do you believe Trump is a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, priest, wide receiver, chef, opera singer, scientist and kisser? You’re under oath.”
I had a complicated marriage, and was not always super happy with my husband. But I'm trying to imagine him being on trial, in a life situation where public perception of him being a good man with the support of his family could be valuable, and not bothering show up.
I really wish Trump was not so fucking pathetic, because I keep wanting to feel sorry for him. He so clearly has nothing of value in his life, nobody loves him, he's so painfully needy - but then I remember how dangerous he is, and how much harm he has caused and will continue to cause. So what do I do with all this compassion I want to feel for the unloved child deep inside him? He doesn't deserve compassion, but oh my god he is so unloved and so pathetic.
I saw a WSJ headline saying only water is allowed in the courtroom, no Diet Coke. I’m not a monster so I don’t subscribe to WSJ, but I’m curious if this is true, and if so why, and I am all for not letting him have anything he wants.
“I want to start by wishing my wife Melania a very happy birthday, it would be nice to be with her but I'm in the courthouse for a rigged trial for paying off one of the side pieces I cheated on her with... Oh, crap; I should not have said that part out loud."
I expected the trial transcripts would be pdfs. wtf, court?
Apparently Pecker tried his sort of genial brand of extortion on Ronan Farrow too

“Rhona Graff”… “phonograph”… anyone else’s mind glitching every time her name is mentioned? 😂🤪
OK, see here’s the thing.

Trump wanted a jury of his "peers", but they just couldn't find 12 people like him. Thank God! One is more than enough.
>see you next Tuesday!
"Wednesday is my preference" is a comeback I read somewhere recently.

(Reaches for a tissue) “I do.”

Very well done on this recap. Even with all the privilege afforded President Klan Robe whines and whines.
Is Laura Loomer still out there? Does she have any dignity left?
Brilliant recap.

`
Well, it's not like she's gonna come THERE.
"It’s very cold in there, on purpose I believe."
`
Yeah, it's all a plot to let everyone see his nipples sticking out.

"They don’t seem to be able to get the temperature up."
`
Yeah, well YOU don't seem to be able to get--

That Melanie necklace - is it supposed to be hearts? A three-leaf clover? Or something obscene? Damned if I can figure it out.
Marcie does such a wonderful job of making this trial come alive for me. It's like I'm actually sitting there in the courtroom.
Without the Trump stank, of course.
