More Courtroom Follies, and Blame It On Feminism! A Two-fer!

 Let’s back up a few hours:

She really does want to embody the “pretty is stupid” stereotype. One can certainly question what her strategy is here. Yeah, sure: So, no, I don’t think many people are following the minutiae of a criminal trial. Or will pay any attention until the verdicts. Every time I hear her, I wonder if she can walk while chewing gum.  And if she really likes it like that.

Meanwhile her boss is planning to do his best imitation of a fish on a bicycle: Unless he hears his name mentioned, he won’t understand a word being said. He’ll also cost himself the appeal by undoubtedly pressuring his lawyers to make arguments he does understand. Like complaining about the DOJ giving his lawyers evidence in the D.C. case. Ditto what I just said, because he won’t understand what’s going on in closing arguments, and he won’t dare testify in the libel case. He went to Ireland to avoid it before. All he’ll do is waste the court’s time because he’ll want to talk about the immunity he doesn’t have and the libel he says he didn’t make. Neither if those will be issues in the trial.

Not that his lawyers are acting like they underestand the case any better than Trump does: Besides, this happened today: I don't bet, and I'd still put mony down that the Supremes deny cert. Meanwhile, Trump's reasoned response was: He was at 31 early in the day. Late in the day, he'd added 16 more:
I’m sure his trial testimony will be invaluable to his defense. Especially since neither he, nor his lawyers, seem to understand what the trial is about. See? “…without fear of someone saying you defamed me.”  If Trump testifies in the damages trial, he’ll insist he’s immune and it's all election interference and a witch hunt, and besides he doesn't even know E. Jean Carroll (47 posts about a perfect stranger?  And no, being a perfect stranger is not a defense to libel, or to damages from the libel.)

When is the idea that Trump is deranged going to finally take hold?  Imagine Biden reacting this way from the Oval Office.

And it’s not exactly related, but Nikki Haley wants us to know she has lots of black friends (but wouldn’t want her daughter to marry one!):
And the “pretty and stupid” keeps slapping us in the face: And then doubling down, to be sure we get the point: You gotta kind of wonder who's paying attention to that. And whether they should be allowed anything sharper than a rubber ball.
