    I really, really hope that this jury is sequestered in a hotel somewhere for the duration of the trial and that decoy vehicles are being used to transport them in and out of the courthouse for their own safety.

    This made me chuckle. From that genius Jesse Watters:

    “The guy needs exercise. He’s usually golfing. And so, you’re going to put a man who’s almost 80, sitting in a room like this on his butt for all that time? It's not healthy...”

    “You know how big of a health nut I am. He needs sunlight and he needs activity. He needs to be walking around, he needs action. It’s really cruel and unusual punishment to make a man do that. And any time he moves, they threaten to throw him in prison!”

    Where did Jesse come from? Is he one of the replacements they brought up because they have to keep firing assholes? He looks like Temu-Butthead and he always sounds like the dumbest person in the room, which is saying a lot for a room of Fox hosts.

    I keep seeing on Reddit that his mom berated him so I looked it up.

    So now the judge has ruled that trump has violated the gag order for the TENTH time, and if he does it again he could go to jail.

    and, uh, this time he super really means it?

    I think Trump will wind up spending some time in jail before the trial is over. He just can't help himself.

    I'm also betting on either a guilty verdict or a hung jury.

    Stormy Daniels will be called today.

    Trump posted and deleted 10 minutes later:

    "I have just recently been told who the witness is today," Trump posted on Truth Social but deleted the post less than 10 minutes later. "This is unprecedented, no time for lawyers to prepare. No Judge has ever run a trial in such a biased and partisan way. He is CROOKED & HIGHLY CONFLICTED, even taking away my First Amendment Rights. Now he’s threatening me with JAIL, & THEY HAVE NO CASE - This according to virtually all Legal Scholars & Experts! Why isn’t the Fake News Media reporting his Conflict?"

    I saw a video that was talking about how many of the jurors are taking notes and the person (was a lawyer) remarked that the only time you see jurors invested like that is when they're listening to the prosecution instead of the defense.

    If he does go to jail, even for a night, his crazy rabid followers will compare his struggle (his "kampf") to Christ's stations of the cross. I wish that was a joke or even an exaggeration, but I'm 100% serious... and the irony that I just compared him to Hitler isn't lost on me, but fuck it.

    Johnson demands all Trump prosecutions cease, vows to use Congress ‘in every possible way’

    "President Trump has done nothing wrong here and he continues to be the target of endless lawfare," Speaker Johnson told reporters Tuesday during an official House news conference (video below). "It has to stop. And you're gonna see the United States Congress address this in every possible way that we can, because we need accountability. Ultimately, at the end of the day, it's bigger than President Trump. It's about the people's faith in our system of justice. And we're gonna get down to the bottom of it. All these cases need to be dropped, because they are a threat to our system."
    What an asshole.

    Fox News host (and self-proclaimed comedian) Gutfeld said that if Stormy Daniels actually did pass out and blackout during sex with Trump, that makes Trump a sex god who just fucked the living shit out of her. Y'know, porn star Stormy Daniels can handle some heavy fucking, as evidenced by her many appearances in adult films, but she just couldn't take the power of Trump's sexual prowess...

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other...ls/ar-BB1m5Yxj

    Yeah, because nothing says "great sex" like blacking out and feeling miserable afterwards.

    Really though, is anyone else getting kind of sickened by the constant images this case is planting in their head? I've now visualized Stormy and Trump fucking at least a couple times now, and it's nauseating and weird. It only gets shittier when she's falling unconscious during the act.

    Well there you have it, that's how your start to cope by picturing Trump as the most awesome lover in human history.
    It takes some brain damage to picture it, but it's worth it, it's not like brains serve any purpose nowadays anyway.

    what a time to have eyes and the ability to picture things in my mind. I envy the people who cannot do that.

    mine too. he’s skirted all kinds of crimes at this point. the worst part for me is seeing his sycophants being like “this is a misdemeanor” on twitter. any other candidate would have been forgotten by now for the same thing.

    there’s a bunch of posts on twitter and facebook saying the secret service has met with authorities about imprisoning trump. none of the posts link to a confirmed story so i do wonder where it comes from.

    Jury instructions

    • They must not make a decision based on biases or stereotypes;
    • They must set aside personal differences;
    • They must not speculate how long sentencing may be or what the punishment might be – that’s up to the judge;
    • They can’t hold it against Trump for not testifying;
    • The “people must prove beyond a reasonable doubt every element of the crime.” He reminds the jury it must not rest its verdict on speculation;
    • They can consider whether a witness hopes to receive a benefit related to the trial, or if they have an interest in how the case ends;
    • They cannot convict Trump on Michael Cohen’s testimony alone because he’s an accomplice, but they can use his evidence if corroborated with other evidence;
    • The jury must be unanimous if they find Trump guilty on each count – on whether he committed the crime personally, acted in concert with others or both;
    • They must determine if Trump conspired to promote someone or prevent them from public office by unlawful means;
    • They should deliberate with a view toward reaching an agreement, without surrendering individual judgement;
    • Jurors notes cannot be used in place of evidence;
    • The foreperson will deliver the verdict for each count after deliberations are over;
    • They must surrender their phones, and can only discuss the case when all 12 of them are together.

    Judge said to both parties "You can not leave the building, and need to return as quickly as possible" once a verdict is reached.

    Yeesh, I think we're looking at days of this. I hope they have some Vitamin D pills, lol.

    Watching this unfold from down here in Sydney.

    Really hope this saggy rotten pumpkin loompa finally gets discarded and put away in the corner like the grandpa-child he is, for your sake (as Americans). If all else fails you’re more than welcome to join us down here with great healthcare. The rent situation kinda sucks though.
