Can we all just take a moment and appreciate the hotness of Hope Hicks.

Also, I didn't know she was an accomplished lacrosse player.... which also lends makes me wonder what kind of locker talk or locker shenanigans she got into with her teammates.

 

Oh and is it just me or does she look like a young Keri Russell / Lori Loughlin mashup.

 

Ok that's it. I'll be in my bunk.

And with that knowledge, millions will still vote for him, and might get him elected again. 

 

This is only half-true: they won't be voting for him with that knowledge. Because they're either not following the story, or they're hearing a very biased version of it.

I mean, that's literally what they just talked about re: the Access Hollywood tape. If you're famous, "they" let you get away with everything.

On the other hand, "they" aren't courts of law. "They" are the public and the media.

Fucker should already be in jail due to the nature of his alleged crimes and the fact that most of them have been videotaped.

Jail Trump for this at the end of the day so that he has to stay in jail until Monday. Or just sentence him to two or three days. 

Or firing squad. Works either way.

Or visit a gravel pit with Noem.

She still laughs about your small penis and premature ejaculation issue, so we can call it even I guess.

A little bit of the special treatment in the legal system:

"Former President Donald Trump claims millions of illegal votes cost him the 2020 election. However, all but three of his 64 election challenges failed. His three legal victories, all in Pennsylvania, threw out 270 provisional ballots lacking signatures, separated Election Day provisional ballots from those cast afterward, and moved back Pa.’s deadline for absentee voters to present voter ID by three days."

TIL word salad is a viable defense for multiple criminal indictments! Wow what a neat new loophole discovered by trumpco! It never seemed to work before, but it sure baffles the brightest legal minds now. 

Literally any other defendant would be spending at least one night in county for this many willfil and repeated violations of court orders. Never fucking mind the threats against the judge's family. The kid gloves trump gets as standard are just ridiculous and show the American justice system to be the multi-tiered farce that it is. 

My comment had nothing to do whatsoever with any of that except that his double-talk makes it difficult to pin him down or draw valid or reasonable inferences from what he says.  Other than he's an abject moron who talks a lotta shit,

Hearing CNN talk about how Hope Hicks clearly cared for him and felt bad just shows how soulless a ghoul she is.  No decent human being could go through the past several years being that adjacent to that fuck head and still think he's a good guy.  What a broken human she is.

As much as the defense lawyers — and Trump — complain about Merchan, he has been bending over backward to try to seem fair to Trump.

Just extracted this statement from one of the summaries above to point out what that often means.

As a trial lawyer, I get the MOST nervous when the judge is doing all he can to accommodate my requests, grant my objections, etc.  In short, I worry when everything is going my way, because what that means is that the judge isn't giving me anything to complain about on appeal.  He knows I'm going to be fucked by the outcome at the trial court, and he wants to make sure that I don't have any leg to stand on if I try to appeal.

Seriously, I can recall the feeling of being in trial, and at a particular moment, ALL of the rulings started going my way.  It didn't take long for me to realize "oh fuck....I'm about to lose this fucking case."  If you're good, and lucky, you can pivot your approach to maybe give yourself a chance to win.  But sometimes, the judge knows what the outcome is going to be, and wants it to hold up on appeal, so he's made a record that will help that happen.

In this case, there's also an element of the judge not wanting to seem like he's a tool of any partisan/political plot (fat chance of that, what he does isn't what matters - what Trump SAYS is the only thing that matters to the cult), but there's also surely an element of him not wanting to give the defense any good grounds for an appeal of the eventual verdict.

This, all day long.  Of course, Chapter one in The Secret of Success on Appeal is called "Win at Trial."  The rest of the chapters have to do with what happens if you don't.

 

It's also the reason that he's trying to avoid jail for contempt if at all possible and why he's being careful in tailoring the gag order.  The last thing he wants is an interlocutory appeal with a possible stay of trial with a jury empaneled.  Sure, it's a long shot, but Trump doesn't care about the odds (insert failed casino joke here).

I remember learning about this way back during the IBM vs SCO lawsuit, when SCO (with backing from Microsoft) was basically suing IBM for putting copyrighted code from UNIX (which, ironically, SCO didn't even really own the rights to, not like they thought they did) into Linux.

A paralegal, frustrated with the idiocy she saw on Slashdot and elsewhere from the nerds who cared deeply about the case but understood nothing about the legal system, started up a blog to cover the details of what was REALLY happening.

At some point pretty early on, she said that the judge was Actively Managing the case. And she explained what that meant: The judge had already figured out what he was going to rule, and from this point forward was more or less going to make sure that the ruling was going to be solid and un-appealable.

(IBM won. Big. No appeal succeeded.)

Plenty of women have known guys with Trump‘s attitude (but not his fame or money) who think they can get away with anything. Maybe it’s a boss or a co-worker, or a neighbor, whatever.  Hopefully some of those women ended up on the jury.
