"when he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers be regarded as sin. May his days be few; may another take his position." Psalm 109: 7-8
He needs someone at his shoulder who can whisper in his ear, "See how Melania's reacting to her mother's death? None of your children will react like that to yours."
I like Judge Kaplan, he's not extending Trump curticies he doesn't deserve and has no problem pointing out for the jury just how much of a clown show his legal team is.
"Judge Kaplan said Trump could forfeit his right to be in the courtroom if he continues to make comments in front of the jury. Carroll’s lawyer, Shawn Crowley, had called the former president out for continuing to make statements, as some jurors could hear him say, “This really is a con job.” "Mr. Trump has the right to be present here. That right can be forfeited and it can be forfeited if he is disruptive and if he disregards court orders," Kaplan said. "Mr. Trump, I hope I don’t have to consider excluding you from the trial, I understand you are very eager for me to do that."
“I would love it, I would love it,” Trump replied, putting both hands in the air and shaking them."
Then, he did that ridiculous Y-M-C-A dance of his.
It will be interesting to see how he behaves at his criminal trials where he is required to be there. Jerry Rubin decided to be an ass at the Chicago 7 trial, and the judge had him bound and gagged.
"forthiary". We have a winner. The Doctor said, "Sir, you definitely have the very first case of Fourthiary Syphillis. It will hence-force be named the Greatest Syphilis in your honor". Trump: "That's what everyone said, they all say it's the Greatest."
Ugh, perish the thought. I've said many times that he's stepped on his own donk, but if it did fall off and rolled down his leg, I might have been correct, for once.
I find it quite interesting that all of you very smart people are not clearly seeing what's going on. Habba went to law school; graduated, and passed the bar in at least one state. She is , therefore, not a dumb woman. She is , unfortunately, a very good actor, and takes direction well. We are witnessing an extremely well choreographed and directed play that has been designed to get, and keep that piece of garbage always in our direct line of attention. As long as he can stay there, the people who have and will continue to support him, will make sure that those of us who are repelled by him, will remain fearful of him and them. So every time one of you pundits opine that Habba is dumb or stupid need to remember that no, she's not, but she well plays a dummy on TV, and will be a very dangerous Secretary of something or other should 45 become 47.
""Mr. Trump, I hope I don't have to consider excluding you from the trial,” Judge Lewis Kaplan told [the defendant]"

Holy Mary, Mother of God, am I in some kind of horrible parallel universe run by Susan Fucking Collins?
What is WRONG with these judges? With ALL of them?
Don't they understand YET that, "If you don't stop, you're really gonna get it!!", followed by NOTHING, doesn't actually do anything -- except, possibly, undermine their authority?
He doesn't CARE if he gets a scolding.
He doesn't CARE if you wag your finger at him.
He doesn't CARE if you frown disapprovingly in his general direction.
If anything, it's the opposite. He's like The Blob; every time he does this and gets away with this, he gets a little bit bigger.
Are we in some kind of even more shitty version of "Groundhog Day"?
Do something already!
Throw him in a cell.
Fine him every time he opens his mouth.
Have him dragged bodily from the courtroom.
Physically gag him with a dirty towel.
Hell, get a water pistol and soak him so his coiffure becomes unraveled.
I did not realize that Trump cared about anyone enough to attend their funeral. I wonder what was in it for him.
Trump's at the funeral? Is he going to deliver the eulogy?
No, but he will make a rambling, incoherent campaign speech.
"Surprise, it involves Alina Habba looking like an idiot."
`
So, apparently, she CAN'T fake being smart.
I can only think of one thing she is likely good at faking.
"when he is tried, let him be found guilty, and may his prayers be regarded as sin. May his days be few; may another take his position." Psalm 109: 7-8
Oh, hey, why stop there?
Psalm 109:8-18
"8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones."

That's some dark shade!
Why, what EVER do you mean?
It's just the dear old Bible, word for word, with no editorializing at all.
Ta, Evan. I wish the jury could award Ms. Carroll everything TFG owns.
Trump's probably twitchy about his MIL's funeral because she was only a year older than him. Nice reminder of his mortality, among all his other woes.
He needs someone at his shoulder who can whisper in his ear, "See how Melania's reacting to her mother's death? None of your children will react like that to yours."
Hopefully they'll bury him next to Ivana, then they can neglect both graves at once.
I don’t know who deserves each other more, Trump or his lawyers. Definitely a match made in the very bowels of hell.
"Mr. Trump, I hope I don't have to consider excluding you from the trial"
OOO HARSH WORDS THERE. "Sir, it is my wish that I don't have to potentially think about perhaps possibly doing something here"
I like Judge Kaplan, he's not extending Trump curticies he doesn't deserve and has no problem pointing out for the jury just how much of a clown show his legal team is.

Imagine the courtroom sketch.
I think it is very unkind to suggest that Donald Trump has secondary syphilis when his behavior clearly suggests TERTIARY syphilis.
Trump has the best syphilis. He has FOURTHIARY syphilis.
"forthiary". We have a winner. The Doctor said, "Sir, you definitely have the very first case of Fourthiary Syphillis. It will hence-force be named the Greatest Syphilis in your honor". Trump: "That's what everyone said, they all say it's the Greatest."
That mushroom thing should have fallen off by now.
How do you know it hasn't?
Ugh, perish the thought. I've said many times that he's stepped on his own donk, but if it did fall off and rolled down his leg, I might have been correct, for once.

All sorts of idiots find ways to graduate law school and pass the bar exam.
"I can attend the funeral of my beloved mother-in-law, with my wife and entire family"
`
Hundred percent he could not correctly state his "beloved" mother in law's name.
Hell, he's called his WIFE "Melanie", so who knows if he'd even get HER name right.
Amalija Knavs.
Can you imagine him attempting to pronounce it?
Hundred percent he would either try to make it all about him or end up golfing instead of actually attending.
"Donald Trump gave the Eulogy" are the cringest five words in the English language.
Maybe, if he could somehow contrive to deliver his own eulogy.
Now, that’s something I would watch.
"This is the level of expertise he has to settle for."
`
Or, as a friend of mine used to say, "Ya pay peanuts, ya get monkeys."
I'm still of the opinion that she's auditioning to replace Melania.
For which, see my comment elsewhere in this thread.

It is so weird that Trump isn't responding to the threat of the judge maybe possibly considering potentially perhaps doing something in the future
"I'll give him the frowning of his life!"
"You should refresh your memory about how it is you get a document into evidence."
