Here is an interesting take from former defendants and lawyers who came before Merchan. Some discussion of how he tends to handle sentencing. He tends to be more lenient to defendants who are remorseful and respectful in front of the judge. Uh oh. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/next-trump-criminal-convic...

Oh lordy. Rigged, a disgrace, no venue change. LOL. He only has two words - Rigged and disgrace. Good god, his lack of vocabulary is an embarrassment.

Good point by Andrew Weissman--this is vindication for Alvin Bragg. He was villified from all quarters, including some on our side. :yeahthat: 100%. Although, I have to admit, I was a little skeptical as well, but I certainly did not vilify Bragg. I just was kind of "not impressed". I sta...

Donald J Trump is officially what we all knew he was all along - a Freaking FELON. A convicted FELON now.

LOL, my internet must be slow. I am up to 23 so far

Oh, my. My tv is only up to 17 so far.

Guilty on first 12 charges!

Andrew Weissman thinks likely jury is going to guilty on checks ( and invoices, vouchers) fuckhead sisned, NG on the other three. Yeah, my feeling is that a few f the charges will be not guilty, but the majority guilty. I just heard that theory on TV and it does seem a reasonable explanation for wh...

Yeah, my opinion was that if there was someone who needed convincing and getting the testimony and instructions reread convinced them, we would get a verdict soon. If the verdict did not come soon, then there was likely to be a holdout. So I take this as good news. My WAG is there wasn't serious di...

This is weird. They asked for 30 minutes to fill out the forms. Would it take up to 30 minutes to check the "not guilty" box on each count? I'm not sure, but it seems like if "not guilty" they might only need about 10 minutes to check that box under each count. :lol: Who the heck...

Only a holdout would need to hear that instruction again, IMHO. I'se skeered of a hung jury. But if so, let's have a retrial before the election. :pray: I agree with that. Also I don't think it's necessarily good for the prosecution that they wanted a readback of the testimony that is worst for Tru...

This is interesting and includes the real history of Elon Musk including how he got those government contracts. Hint: An ex employee of SpaceX works for NASA and is the very person in a position to decide who gets those coveted private company space contracts. And he got that first contract when Spa...

This probably explains why the students are anti-Hillel. Hillel International has stated that it is committed to Zionism and supporting Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. Hillel's goal is to help Jewish college students develop a meaningful relationship with Israel and Israelis. In 2024, Hille...

Of course! The Orange Jesus is talking about OTHER law enforcement, not meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! And when he's made Emperor of the USA and the World he will give me permission to bust heads of my enemies.

If Biden should win the election this year AND Democrats somehow hold onto the Senate, the first order of business should be to add a shit ton of justices to the Supreme Court. Don't forget to add to your shopping list, "Kill the filibuster." (And, of course, win the House.) Because there...

Here is another excellent discussion of Trump's cognitive functioning and evidence of disordered thought process and dementia.

Judge Cannon is presiding over a "complex, 10 defendant health care related case". Here are some interesting notes from the docket located here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/63116193/united-states-v-carver/ On a motion to seal that was filed on March 2, 2022 she was able to produce...

Cannon has only presided over four* jury trials, but like every federal judge she has hundreds of cases on her docket. Making an assessment of how well she manages those hundreds of cases would be time-consuming, and I guess no one has taken the trouble. Most cases settle in one fashion or another,...

I think the media really is working hard to prevent a conviction. They want a horse race in November. It's infuriating. Rest easy, Pappy. Six weeks before election day Trump's support will collapse and we will see states like Florida and North Carolina become Biden Country. I pretty much always tak...

So, now the case is indefinitely postponed. As if it wasn't already obviously indefinitely postponed. Also, too - regarding Cannon's motivations, I have a hard time believing that if she were presiding over a classified documents case where the defendant is some regular Tom, Dick, or Harry that she...

If Biden should win the election this year AND Democrats somehow hold onto the Senate, the first order of business should be to add a shit ton of justices to the Supreme Court. I'm sick and tired of "well, Republicans will just get revenge BS". They have been getting revenge now for years.

The hearing for dismissal took place last week, it took a little over 2 hours. The judge said she will issue a ruling "next week", which would be this week, as I'm posting this on the Monday following the week of the hearing. I listened to most of this, it was interesting. I kind of doubt ...

So last night I saw where CNN is reporting that the majority of Americans believe that even if Trump is convicted in his criminal cases he is still fit for office. If they were saying that, its basically lying. According to the CNN article, it was a majority of TRUMP SUPPORTERS who thought that. An...
