Every time the cameras show Trump in court, I am hoping to see him stroke out on live TV; but it keeps not happening, in spite of my most sincere imprecatory prayers. I dunno. I just don't know. I am thinking we might have to give up on the existence of a god.

Trump will be Trump. The rest of us have a choice. Why the hell did the judge allow this, or at least not cut him off when it started getting stupid?

i love the side eye he's getting from the dude beside him, and who is that in the background behind the 'big man' wearing sneakers with his suit? all the best people, obvs

By T-rump logic, he won. He got to dominate the headlines for a news cycle

Why didn’t Judge Engoron shut him down the minute T went off the rails? He got 6 minutes to rage and score points with his cultists as well as providing clickbait for his social followers and eyeballs for Fox and OAN

Letting him babble and rant is indulging him. Why indulge him?

Idiot gonna idiot. There are not enough socks in the Galaxy to stuff down his throat to shut him up. Personally, I think, we should search intergalacticly.

Curious if he was still considered under oath, from previous testimony, when he spewed this? I hope sanctions follow since no good faith by his attorney was exhibited following the email chain from the day before.

My understanding is closing statements are not taken "under oath," but since they are usually made by lawyers they are compelled by their status as an officer of the court to not lie.

None of that likely applies to amateur shitgibbons, of course.

Thank you, he seems to think nothing pertaining to "law and order" applies to him and I'm looking forward to him being proven wrong by the Courts, upholding the Constitution per their Oath. I think he (and others) might have not been truthful when giving testimony and, if so, I hope they add charges accordingly; New York state penal code has various degrees of perjury crimes and criminal offenses for making apparently false statements. Lower end, perjury in the third-degree is a class A This crime involves making a false statement while giving testimony under oath.

The offense can become a felony charge of perjury in the first degree when the false statement is material and occurs during testimony. May justice prevail.

It's truly amazing that it took this long for this uncurious bloviating windbag to finally self-destruct.

He didn’t self destruct. He got free air time to look courageous to His People

He made certain that the Trump Org will be completely destroyed, and that is a large part of his self-image.

If you had a friend, a work colleague, a casual acquaintance for whom life was not difficult, and who spent their entire life whining, bitching, and moaning about being a victim of all kinds of conspiracies and lying their ass off about how all their troubles were a result of bigotry and plots instead of their own damn actions, you would get far away from that person, never answer their calls, and slam the door if you ever saw them coming. Trump doesn’t even realize how stupid and pathetic he is and that more than half the country is pointing and laughing at him or saying “What a fucking moron loser” whenever his name is mentioned.

Having bazillions of dollars goes a long way with some people.

And nobody told him -- as nobody has EVER told him -- "Donald, you can't do that. It's illegal/you'll look like a bloody fool." He has no friends, just flunkies like Rudy and Sidna, who say, "You're the king, Elvis" to his every word, and let him do what he wants, because he's their source of money and power.

It reminds me of the time Michael Jackson dangled his infant child over a 10-story high balcony, endangering the tot's life. Jackson was surrounded by his flunkies. Not ONE of them said, "ARE YOU NUTS? If you slipped, that kid would have fallen 10 stories to his death, on worldwide television! You'd go to prison!"

Not one.

That's because their only concern was like that of the Bloated Yam's staffers, and the eunuchs who stayed at the abdicated Chinese Emperor's Palace in Beijing's Forbidden City...to fill their rice bowls three times a day. ("The Last Emperor")

So, of course the Bloated Yam rehearsed it. Of course he intended to go off on the judge and everyone else. Of course he believes that it would intimidate the judge and Letitia James into dropping their case. Of course he believes it will catapult him back into the White House.

Nobody has ever -- or will ever -- tell him otherwise.

Not even cold, hard facts. He just presses them into whine.

Kiwiwriter47's avatar

The only time he's ever acquainted with facts is when he's working on a business deal.

And even then he lies...he stiffs the contractors.

My favorite part of this is that Trump has supposedly weeded out all the aides that were insufficiently loyal, yet everything he does is STILL leaked INSTANTLY.

Btw, if you think Engoron has given Trump too much rope, just wait until Loose Cannon gets her turn.
