re: #341 jaunte
New York Supreme Court Justice Merchan was furious that defense lawyer Todd Blanche suggested to the jury that Trump could go to jail if convicted.
The judge said he would give a curative instruction to the jury after the break.
Weissmann explained it too. It was intentional on Blanche part to break the rule bec the jury can’t unhear it and will feel the weight of potentially being responsible for sending a former POTUS to jail. He knew he would get a tongue lashing from judge. It is lawyering in action. Ugh

Well, Guess Who Else was flying that treasonous flag?
The bombshells over the past few weeks revealing U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito flew flags associated with the January 6, 2021 insurrection and Christian nationalism over two of his homes were followed by a report that Leonard Leo, the right-wing legal activist behind Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominees, also flew one of those flags.
The “Appeal to Heaven” flag has a “close association with both far-right Christian nationalists and the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6,” Rolling Stone reported last week, adding it “raises serious questions about Alito’s ability to rule impartially.”
“The conservative court on which Alito sits is largely the product of right-wing dark-money overlord Leonard Leo, and — wouldn’t you know it — Leo flew the same ‘Appeal to Heaven’ flag outside of his house in Maine,” Rolling Stone also reported.

‘Pathetic’: MAGA rep who attended trial pitied as Trump humiliates him
Former President Donald Trump all but ended the re-election hopes of embattled House Freedom Caucus chair Bob Good (R-VA) with an endorsement of his primary opponent John McGuire, a former Navy SEAL and state legislator who was present at the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
It’s a humiliating blow to Good, a far-right lawmaker who just this month schlepped to New York City to stand in front of the Manhattan courthouse where Trump is being criminally tried and attack the family of the judge. And it leaves him with few remaining allies after he was refused assistance in his primary by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who ironically came to power in part because Good joined a handful of renegade Republicans to oust his predecessor Kevin McCarthy.
STEINGLASS: Cohen was more of the defendant's fixer than his lawyer. He had a legal title, but he wasn't in the legal department. He didn't answer to the general counsel, but to Trump directly. He got the jobs no one else wanted—the jobs Trump wanted kept quiet. He was the buffer

Also, Good is probably still gonna vote for Trump anyway.
STEINGLASS: Trump chose Cohen for the same qualities that they want you to reject him for…[SHOWING PASSAGE FROM TRUMP’S THINK BIG BOOK]: “As a matter of fact, I value loyalty above everything else - more than brains, more than drive, and more than energy.”
STEINGLASS: We didn’t choose Michael Cohen as a witness… “We didn’t pick him up at the witness store…” “The defendant chose Michael Cohen. He was his fixer.”
Judge will tell you that Cohen is an accomplice because of the crimes in this case. There’s a mountain of evidence, of corroborating testimony that connect the defendant in this crime. Pecker to Hicks, his own tweets, & rallies. It’s difficult to conceive of a case with more corroboration.”
Costello was actually a double agent…to discourage Cohen from cooperating and to keep the defendant informed and it became clear to Cohen they were setting him up to be the fall guy.
“As we discussed in jury selection, he question is not whether you like Cohen, or whether you want to go into business with him. The truth is, he was in the best position to know….” “He was in the best position to know because he was the defendant’s right hand”

Steinglass runs through all the features of the Sajudin NDA that show it was to help the campaign, and not typical practice: instead of a 3-month exclusivity period, it was in perpetuity, and the m indemnity clause to "put the fear of God" in him. In other words, to lock it up.

And is exactly the way Trump and most narcissist authoritarians want it. The sycophants are busy knifing each other over table scraps instead of plotting on how to replace the boss.
The judge overseeing the criminal case against Donald Trump for hoarding classified documents at his Florida home has again chided special counsel Jack Smith’s team for its tactics — this time over a request for an order preventing Trump from repeating baseless claims that FBI agents carrying out a search at Mar-a-Lago last year were authorized to kill him.U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon turned down the gag order request Tuesday as she delivered another sharp warning to prosecutors that they need to make more concerted efforts at dialogue with Trump’s counsel before bringing disputes to the court.
“The Court finds the Special Counsel’s pro forma ‘conferral’ [with the defense] to be wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy,” wrote Cannon, a Trump appointee. “It should go without saying that meaningful conferral is not a perfunctory exercise.”
“Failure to comply with these requirements may result in sanctions,” the judge wrote in the brief order posted to the south Florida federal court’s online docket Tuesday morning.

My wife is soaking six hydrangea seeds to start them sprouting. They will be planted around our recently-departed tree which is now a stump.
She also received thirty-six big tooth maple seedlings. Those are all going into pots, and after they grow a bit more, a few will go into the ground. The rest she plans to sell at the village summer festival next year.
Big tooth maple trees are sugar maple trees native to the Intermountain West and the High Plains. The sugar maple trees we planted last year are the kind which grow in the northeast, and died because of the different weather conditions here.

Denying the motion and laying into the gov’t for a conferral issue is some shit. I’ve had judges posture as if conferrals are a huge deal; emails aren’t sufficient; etc. etc., but have never really had a judge follow through—judges usually afford some deference to counsel who typically understand if conferral will actually be a worthwhile exercise.

This point is especially forceful here, since the substance of the prosecution motion is to try to get Trump to stop being an asshole demagogue.
WTF is the point of talking to counsel for an asshole demagogue about the asshole demagogue no longer doing that asshole demagogue thing?
Cannon is utterly corrupt, and the only thing on her mind (as advised by other Republican ratfuckers) is how best to use her position to get Trump completely off the hook for his crimes in this case.

Michigan fake electors claim they failed to read key page in document naming Trump winner
Sure…
The Republican “fake electors” criminally charged in Michigan for signing a fraudulent certificate attesting former President Donald Trump won the state in 2020 had their attorneys suggest in court on Tuesday that “their clients might not have read the key page of the document,” reported Craig Mauger for the Detroit News.
These false electors, who were charged by state Attorney General Dana Nessel, face prosecution as similar criminal charges advance against the fake Trump electors in other battleground states, including Arizona and Georgia. 16 people are charged in the Michigan case, including several longtime GOP operatives.
“If the Michigan GOP electors truly weren’t presented the false certificate of the vote, there would seem to be a major question about which adviser later attached their signatures to the certificate without their knowledge,” noted Mauger.
Additional drama unfolded during the hearing as Ingham County District Court Judge Kristen Simmons warned the prosecution, at the defense’s request to stop using the term “false electors,” as the actual charges against them are for forgery, and state law does not explicitly call out falsely claiming to be an elector as a crime. Simmons stopped just short of actually issuing a formal order for the time being, however, and simply asked the prosecution to change its wording.

re: #1 Targetpractice
I should be on that jury. Sending Trump to jail would be something I’d wear as a badge of honor. He deserves to die in jail. He’s a lifelong criminal and finally deserves to be held accountable just like my black behind would be if I committed half the crimes he has.

Just don’t say any of that when they are selecting jurors.
re: #94 Joe Bacon ✅
Fake electors get to the “incompetent or criminal” decision and (as always) claim to be stupid. And in either case should be held as unworthy to be trusted with public office or any public money via contracts for ever more.
J Street, a liberal pro-Israel nonprofit that has been largely supportive of Biden since Oct. 7th, just sent out an email demanding an end to the war.

only sick bastards do not want to see an end to the conflict in Palestine
In a sign he may no longer be in the running for VP, Tim Scott said he would vote to certify the 2024 election results.
Sequence of events for me today:
6:00 wake up
6:02 respond to tornado warning
6:02:30 get kiddo up and downstairs
6:30 power goes out
7:30 eat peanut butter sandwich so we don’t have to open fridge
9:30ish lose all internet connectivity from cell tower
10:00-12:00 play scrabble with son (the person who went second won all three games)
12:20 go out to lunch
12:21 receive notification that there are two fires in the area where CERT is needed.
12:50 respond to fire in Royse City
Image from before we got there:
Image when I arrived:
2:30 leave helping the firemen with water and snacks
245 get home, begin cutting limbs from our tree and neighbor’s yard.
3:45 power comes back on
4:20 finish
Days off suck.

Why? Why not? It’s interesting that it is divided into 3 pieces, like somebody chopped it up with a really big shovel. Right outside ABQ off of I-25.

“It could cost him the November election and all of us our democracy.”
I.e. “Look what you made us do!”

Not at this time, no. It was well after the storms, so I don’t think it was lightning.

We had an incident like that where a tree fell over and pulled out a gas line that leaked into the house and caused an explosion and fire.

I look in there from time to time but I do not really know what to make of it or how to use it.

Anyone who abstains in November because of Gaza is an idiot.
Anyone who votes for Trump in November because of Gaza is an even bigger idiot.
That said, Biden’s push back to date vs. Bibi’s war crimes is grossly inadequate.
re: #108 goddamnedfrank
Bismillah I have terrible news about how the US government feels about unending bloodshed.
So did I miss that the trump trial was turned over to the jury? Were the jury instructions read? Last I saw, the prosecutors were speaking but I don’t know if they finished.
Wha hoppened?

No, it’s still going on. They’re going late.

The animals are known to be sensitive to trends, with scientists having observed odd new behaviors spreading through a pod like a TikTok challenge, only to be forgotten just as quickly. Perhaps most famously, in 1987, a female orca in the Pacific Ocean near Puget Sound was observed carrying a dead salmon on her head; within two months, killer whales from her pod and two others were also wearing ‘fish hats.’ But it was all a fad.

The prosection is still doing closing arguments? I haven’t seen a single update. Damn!
Thanks for the update!
re: #45 Charles Johnson
i have to wonder how many other women Trump has bullied into having sex or outright raped, then terrorized them into silence or paid them off to shut up. I’m absolutely certain he has a long history of getting away with these kinds of crimes.
I’m always confused that people just kind of step over the era where he had a modelling agency that violated immigration and labor laws, and also hung out with guys using modeling agencies to traffick women and girls.
getting sentenced to 7.5 years in prison and immediately logging on to argue with @tittyrespecter about your charges is peak poster
there's no topping this

The establishment (which includes ownership and management of the mainstream media) doesn’t have a problem with this. So the only adverse publicity on this comes from real journalists (a critically endangered species).
re: #134 wrenchwench

Same.
come on you guys! let’s all put a dead salmon on our heads!

Tiffany is actually on Trump’s side, amongst other things by speaking at the GOP Convention on his behalf in 2020.
She has been very good at deflecting criticism.
Tiff wants to protect her money if Daddy goes to the Grey Bar motel.
