"This is why I'm here. Because WE called it a legal expense."

Yeah, well if I rob a bank and CALL it a withdrawal, that doesn't make it one; that only makes me a lying asshole in addition to being a bank robber.

That Lindsay Lohan party sounds almost as good as the Palin Family Brawl of 2014. Almost.

(Yes, I read that it's not the Barron of House Trump, rather the Barron of House Hilton.)

Ta, Marcie. Tina looks like a very, very good girl indeed. Bob Costello should know better than to piss off a judge. What does it say about the defense that he did it anyway, seemingly on purpose?

I think Merchan is holding that contempt jailing for after the wrap up so it can't delay the trial.

"We may never know, but Tiffany and Barron did previously party with Linsday Lohan, and allegedly at one of these parties Paris Hilton’s brother punched Barron in the face, so Tiff’s party pictures are surely legendary."

Well... no. Paris Hilton's brother is named Barron as well and HE got punched in the face at Lindsay Lohan's behest. Barron T. would have been 9-10 years old during this time so he was NOT at an LL party, as juicy as this story would be.

May I make the entirely superfluous observation that knowing Barron Hilton, he might have deserved it.

This is a guy, after all, who crippled a gas-station attendant while driving drunk, avoiding consequences because of a lavish settlement by his family. He's worse than his sister IOW and doesn't even have the mitigation of being amusing.

Yeah, by all accounts a total piece of shit.

The whole story is literally in the VF article she linked to so I'm not sure what the hell happened there.

Will the defendant be on hand while jury instructions are being debated? With the jury gone, he’ll NEVER be able to keep his mouth shut. Besides. Many People Are Saying (tm) that he’s itching to get cited for some sort of contempt violation, just to slow things down.

Looks like Merchan's saving up all the contempt shit to be the last thing, so the only thing it's going to slow down is Donnie leaving the courthouse.

I saw the video replay of Trump at the NRA event and he didn't glitch out like Mitch McConnell. There was clearly an issue with the teleprompter which is why he stopped speaking and Trump seemed visibly annoyed during that time waiting for the problem to be corrected. It was nothing like McConnell's issues.

See here's the thing. I agree. It looked like his teleprompter stopped. But Trump 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑠 pretty off the cuff in a lot of his rallies. Which means his weird rambly remarks are actually vetted and edited and put on the teleprompter, or Trump was uncharacteristically unable to improvise this time. Either is very concerning.

I thought all the MAGAts hated teleprompters? Gosh, are they hypocrites? /s

But he doesn't need or use a teleprompter! Because he is youthful and has a quick mind! It's that tired old Joe Biden that needs them.

well in his defense (ha!) he is really good at speaking without thinking about what he's saying even if a sentence contradicts the sentence before.

James Austin Johnson has this absolutely down on SNL. I know everybody hates the show but I've been watching since 1976 or whenever and it's been a LOT worse

One would think that an attorney would know that witnesses are often liars and stealers.. but maybe he didn't need that kind of law for his Big Peener Toilet company..

It was one Scott LoBaido, a right-wing famous artist...“I speak for many people with what I did today — I think they’re a bunch of dicks.” LoBaido’s other performance art happenings include throwing pizza slices to protest emissions laws, and pouring red paint on the sidewalk to protest Alvin Bragg being a “liberal bleeding heart.”

Wow, he is the least original performance artist I've never heard of. "I release dick balloons decorated with pics of people I think are dicks. See the symbolism? Ain't I the clever one?"

Oh, also, too: BOOP!
