If the state did its job right, that’s “Convicted Felon Donald J. Trump.”

re: #225 BigPapa
I wonder if the cannibal’s palette would prefer a bodybuilder or a Meal Team 6 Chump cultist. Or do all assholes taste like shit?
The noted Republican cannibal Alfred Packer dined exclusively on scrawny Hinsdale County Democrats. This was the only fare available, though, so his preferences would be of little value in a potential marketing analysis.
At Packer’s trial the judge was reported to have said:
Stand up yah voracious man-eatin’ sonofabitch and receive yir sintince. When yah came to Hinsdale County, there was siven Dimmycrats. But you, yah et five of ‘em, goddam yah. I sintince yah t’ be hanged by th’ neck ontil yer dead, dead, dead, as a warnin’ ag’in reducin’ th’ Dimmycratic populayshun of this county. Packer, you Republican cannibal, I would sintince ya ta hell but the statutes forbid it.
Alas, this story is apprently apochryphal but it’s a fact that there are still very few Democrats in Hinsdale County Colorado.
Turned on the teevee box just in time to see Katy Tur freaking out at Michael Steele because he dared to criticize media coverage of Trump.
These are the most thin-skinned, egotistical people I’ve ever seen.

Wow, this Todd Blanche sounds like a real Trump lawyer. Thin-skinned and borderline incompetent.
There are train tracks about 1 1/2 blocks from our house. It’s a line that connects two different lines.
Since there are no guard rails/flashing lights lights for most the of intersections through the residential neighborhoods, the trains are required to sound their horn for each intersection (every block).
After floods of complaints about the trains late at night, they are only allowed to send traffic between the main lines during the day.
Today is busy. Been listening to the train horns non-stop for hours.
I appreciate the rail for reducing the traffic on the roads and helping the ecology.
But damn, I’m getting tried of the train horns all afternoon.
Of course, I’m cranky (surprise), but seriously…

A REAL Trump lawyer is entirely incompetent. Borderline incompetent is also borderline competent, and someone like that might tell Trump the truth.
It’s so weird how Trump’s lawyers and followers always act shocked when someone says anything negative about Trump.
The guy is a fucking racist, a gross misogynist, and a wretched grifting con man. But we’re apparently not supposed to notice.

I’m guessing Blanche was put up to do this by Trump, because he had to know that there’s nothing good that comes from this. They got roasted by Daniels on cross, and Cohen is of a similar mind to clap back. I’m just waiting for Cohen to remind everyone that Trump was the unindicted coconspirator on at least one of the crimes for which Cohen went to prison.

This. It’s been a standard carp from Trump’s defenders that Michael Cohen should not have much/any credibility because he is a convicted felon/liar: it never seems to occur to them to consider just WHY Cohen was convicted and jailed…

re: #14 Charles Johnson
[Embedded content]
Necheles did the same shit when questioning Daniels, bringing in tweets and quotes from interviews slagging Trump. The impression the jury is supposed to take away from this is that those witnesses most vocally opposed to Trump are motivated by hatred of him, so you should view anything they have to say about him with skepticism. Note that they never tried this shit with Hicks or any of the others who broke down into tears because they’d “betrayed” their God-Emperor.
re: #27 Targetpractice
It backfired spectacularly on Necheles for that, which is why Blanche is trying the same stunt with Cohen.
It is a strategy, but not a particularly good one when you’ve got someone who is somewhat quick on their feet, and knows Trump better than most. What better way to remind everyone of how criminal Trump is by reminding everyone that he lied and perjured himself and engaged in criminal conduct by and for… Trump.
re: #23 Jay C

Found myself stuck in the room the other day with my Faux-watching dad while they were discussing Cohen and he repeated the MAGAt line that Cohen’s a convicted perjurer that nobody should believe. I pointed out that he was convicted…for lying for Trump. And apparently the follow-up to “Cohen’s a liar” is now “He lied for a lot of people!”
*rubs eyes*
At NPR… “I and a couple of other editorial leaders were encouraged to make sure that any coverage of a Trump lie was matched with a story about a lie from Hillary Clinton. Another colleague asked what to do if one candidate just lied more than the other.”
https://slate.com/business/2024/04/npr-diversity-public-broadcasting-radio.html
“…And that’s what the core editorial problem at NPR is and, frankly, has long been: an abundance of caution that often crossed the border to cowardice. NPR culture encouraged an editorial fixation on finding the exact middle point of the elite political and social thought, planting a flag there, and calling it objectivity. That would more than explain the lack of follow-up on Hunter Biden’s laptop and the lab-leak theory, going full white guilt after George Floyd’s murder, and shifting to indignant white impatience with racial justice now.”

Blanche wants to show that Cohen is trying to make money off his relationship with Trump, which is in tatters thanks to going to prison on Trump’s behalf.
This is tangential to the case in chief by prosecutors, and isn’t getting at Cohen’s veracity or perjury, because Cohen’s testimony today isn’t giving Blanche the stuff he needs.
Rather, Cohen’s reminding everyone that he worked for Trump, did stuff for Trump, and lied for Trump.
People who work for criminals are often criminals themselves, and putting them on the stand will not be cut and dried and perfect witnesses with perfect memories and a clean background.
Blanche isn’t doing a very good job here.

re: #38 Nerdy Fish
They’re praying that there’s a single juror willing to buy into the baffling BS Trump is spewing about the case, because there’s overwhelming evidence of Trump’s guilt on the evidence notwithstanding Cohen’s credibility. Cohen’s credibility is actually pretty good in this respect. He perjured himself to protect Trump. He says as much. He lied to Trump’s benefit, and on his behalf. Prosecutors have repeatedly shown how people around Trump lie and commit crimes to advance Trump wrongdoing.

Arizona prosecutors haven’t been able to serve Rudy Giuliani his indictment
Nearly three weeks ago, the former New York mayor was charged in Arizona in connection with actions he allegedly took after the 2020 presidential election to try to reverse Donald Trump’s loss in the state. Two state attorney general agents traveled to New York to hand-deliver a summons to Giuliani but weren’t able to get past a doorman. Other attempts have also failed. If Giuliani doesn’t appear in court on May 21, he could be held in contempt.

If you’ve been paying any attention to the latest conspiracy theories floating out there on that pit of slime known as “social media’, you’d have known that the recent auroras in our night skies were not the work of impossibly powerful coronal mass ejections from the Sun but the work of HAARP, the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program run by the University of Alaska. After issuing a notice that UofA would be testing HAARP May 8-10, our bestest and brightest out there in dumbshit land decided that this was the reason for the lights. Oh, and chemtrails, as well.

Why would anyone hate ‘America’s favorite president’???
“When The Washington Post Fact Checker team first started cataloguing President Donald Trump’s false or misleading claims, we recorded 492 suspect claims in the first 100 days of his presidency. On Nov. 2 alone, the day before the 2020 vote, Trump made 503 false or misleading claims as he barnstormed across the country in a desperate effort to win reelection.”
Looks like we’re likely to get another great TV series based on a video game.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s ‘Tomb Raider’ Series Scores Amazon Pickup
The Tomb Raider TV series is moving forward at Amazon.
A year and change after The Hollywood Reporter exclusively revealed Emmy winner Phoebe Waller-Bridge was writing and producing an adaptation of the popular video game turned action movie Tomb Raider, the retail giant/streamer has handed out a series order for the live-action series. A worldwide casting search will begin soon for an actress to play Lara Croft in the series from Legendary Television.
The surprise announcement was made Tuesday during Amazon’s first trip to woo Madison Avenue ad buyers at TV’s upfront week in New York, with the news arriving after another video game adaptation, Fallout, has become a breakout hit for the service.
Waller-Bridge is writing the scripts for Tomb Raider. The Fleabag grad does not plan to star in the TV adaptation of the property, which spawned 2001 and 2018 film adaptations starring Angelina Jolie and Alicia Vikander, respectively, as the adventurous archaeologist. The Lara Croft character, who has not yet been cast for Amazon, was also voiced by actresses including Camilla Luddington, Keeley Hawes and Minnie Driver in a slew of video game titles. Hayley Atwell also brought the character to life in a Netflix anime series.
In order to support Trump, his voters must lie to themselves. Truly the cult of the Big Lie.
One telling statement on the liveblogs of the cross of Michael Cohen is that the jurors are laughing at some of his answers in sympathy with Cohen, such as when he responded to the question, “You want to see Donald Trump in jail?” with “Yes.”

which is why this behavior
was lazy and idiotic.
it was not reporting or even merely observing.it was creating the narrative that clinton lied as much as tfg

White, so it’s a taser rather than 17 rounds of 9mm and a lie that the driver shot first and a body camera that suddenly “didn’t work”.

conventional ‘news’ took a turn some time back - 20, 30, 40 years?

re: #85 jaunte
This is starting to sound very much like a jury that is going to deliberate for just long enough to get their free lunch at a New York deli prior to rendering a guilty verdict. I don’t want to speak too soon, because there could still be a crazy person on the jury, but it bodes ill for the tangerine wankmaggot.

Gee, I wonder why?
Arizona prosecutors haven’t been able to serve Rudy Giuliani his indictmentNearly three weeks ago, the former New York mayor was charged in Arizona in connection with actions he allegedly took after the 2020 presidential election to try to reverse Donald Trump’s loss in the state. Two state attorney general agents traveled to New York to hand-deliver a summons to Giuliani but weren’t able to get past a doorman. Other attempts have also failed. If Giuliani doesn’t appear in court on May 21, he could be held in contempt.
If a warrant is issued - in terms of comfort level - would be far better for Giuliani to appear at arraignment than to be subject to state transport.
re: #62 🐈 Crush White Christian Nationalism 🐈
If someone like Rudy can do it, people with money must easily be able to place a doorman between themselves and a process server. Is there no process to force a doorman to allow entry?
An arrest warrant

The cross examination of Cohen may be done by the end of Thursday. This case could go to the jury next week, unless the defense calls a bunch of witnesses.

i know we’ve said this before:
a stealth mole cant just sit there arms folded, say no way no how and monkey wrench the works.
they have to participate
present arguments in support for their position
in good faith
you know, in accordance with the oath they took

Don’t think it’s new. Just reverting to the past. Let’s not forget that the Hearst newspapers instigated the Spanish American war when yellow journalism ruled the day in the 1890’s. Media was very partisan during the 19th Century.
Here’s a discussion on the topic: ethics.journalism.wisc.edu Unfortunately the article was written in 2011 before the explosion of social media and its impact on political engagement and the consolidation or outright elimination of so many newspapers.

Cross-examination of Michael Cohen has ended for the day. At one point, Cohen was asked if he called Trump a ‘Cheeto-dusted cartoon villain” and he admitted he had. Full recap of today …https://t.co/cVzoUSMXvI

these stories are all cute and quaint and stuff
but there was none like “defense destroys prosecution’s case…, here’s the real evidence, etc”
the defense got nuthin’
For several minutes, Trump appeared to be sleeping in his seat as Blanche continued to conduct his cross-examination of Cohen. Trump was motionless, his head hanging down.His lawyer Susan Necheles, who sat two seats away from him with an empty seat between them, appeared to attempt — unsuccessfully — to get his attention. Failing to do so, she moved into the empty seat between them, at which point Trump appeared to awaken.
Necheles then whispered in Trump’s ear before moving back to her original seat.
he was not ‘thinking’ or ‘processing’
he was sleeping
odd way to ‘participate’ in your defense by not even listening to the people testifying about what you said and did

re: #112 Unabogie

the defense seems to be “yeah, he did it, fuck you, what are you going to do about it? nothing, that’s what, fuck you.”
“In the last several days of courtroom drama, Trump has been accompanied by an entourage of prominent Republican lawmakers eager to be seen offering their public support to the indicted former president. Not only is their presence an act of theatrical solidarity, they have been acting as mouthpieces for Trump, who remains bound by a gag order barring him from attacking witnesses, jurors, court staff, prosecutors, and the families of those involved in the case.”“On Tuesday, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, addressed reporters gathered outside of court and repeated attacks against witnesses and the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who has led a Democratic consulting firm, that have previously landed Trump in hot water.”
“Johnson was not the only one of Trump’s guests to target Merchan’s daughter.”
im having a hard time accepting that each member of this ‘entourage’ came to the same conclusion independently and just had to do a press op or tweet out their indignation about only this one NY judge’s daughter.

They are still in the establishing “You hate Trump and you are a liar who would do anything to help yourself” phase. If they don’t get into actual details on Thursday then they are in trouble.
re: #116 KGxvi
the defense seems to be “yeah, he did it, fuck you, what are you going to do about it? nothing, that’s what, fuck you.”
IIRC, the defense strategy - dictated by Trump himself, mind you - is along the lines of, “Ignore whether or not he did it, this is a partisan witch hunt being brought by people who have sour grapes about how bigly he won the 2020 election.”
has the defense produced a witness list yet? I’m legitimately curious who they will be calling to testify later this week.

so quick question apropos of the above discussion re: ‘the news’
can this be reported on even when there’s zero ‘counter’ examples of Biden or any democrat trashing a judge or a witness (not just this trial, any trial) to ‘match’ with it?
re: #120 KGxvi

i read (i’;ll have to find it) they plan to call one witness
some kind of ‘expert’
but it didnt say who or what that person was ‘expert’ in.

Dr. Stabby Calls For Overturning No-Fault Divorce Laws
It’s all about removing the agency of women. They will not be allowed to control their bodies or their marriages. Some are even discussing repealing thwe 19th Amendment giving women the vote.Just amazing.
re: #128 silverdolphin
Hopefully women would protest in massive numbers if the 19th was repealed.
re: #128 silverdolphin
Had to check on the 3/4 states thing.
What does it take to repeal a constitutional amendment?
The Constitution’s Article V requires that an amendment be proposed by two-thirds of the House and Senate, or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the state legislatures. It is up to the states to approve a new amendment, with three-quarters of the states voting to ratifying it.
