It’s Been A Day

The Fourth Estate takes its responsibilities seriously. 😳  I don’t know what journalists this actually “works for”: But Miller and Fox are sure desperate to find some way to say the laws don’t apply to Trump. Maybe because they see the handwriting on the wall. 🤔
Trump may rant and rave, but he understands who holds the whip hand. Tell me that all you know about trials is what you’ve seen on TeeVee.  A “star witness” is a TV/newspaper term. There’s no such thing in real life.

(Did I ever tell you the story about when I met Kirk Douglas? “Met” is an exaggeration. I was working for a law firm which was local counsel for a firm representing a movie studio sued by a local theater over…well, how movies were booked, in short. Doesn’t matter, except as an excuse to bring in Mr. Douglas. He came in as an expert witness defending industry practice for how studios sold theaters on taking new releases. A contracts case, IOW.  It was a jury trial, so Kirk Douglas was literally brought in as a “star” witness. (It didn’t work, IIRC.) Closest I’ve ever seen to a “star witness.”) (How did I “meet “ him? Walking down the hall to a partner’s corner office. Short guy. Surprisingly so. But definitely Kirk Douglas.)

And tell me you aren’t paying attention to the trial:
Cohen is the cherry 🍒 on the sundae; not the ice cream under the toppings. He’ll play a role; he won’t be the entire play.

Meanwhile…
Trump only feels safe complaining about the gag order, now. Not that it’s making him more coherent. Those last three sentences are just gibberish. How does this situation make Trump in jail a sacrificial act for the Constitution? (If that’s what he said. I just don’t know what he said.)

And then he derided the State’s announcement it needed two more weeks to finish their case was a bridge too far. Which came out pretty hollow, too, since Trump did no campaigning last weekend, while Biden continues to campaign while holding down a full time job.
Wait for it... What a dilemma! If they don’t promise taco trucks on every corner, I’ll have no choice but to vote for RFK, Jr. If you can’t beat ‘em , join ‘em. Or at least make their complaints, your complaints.
Before or after he breaks his Diet Coke addiction? Has anyone seen her law school transcript? Do we know there is one?
Well, 9 out of 10 MAGAts think “former president” is a super-citizen. At least when it’s the right former President.

The 10th just thinks it’s an adjunct of rich white man privilege.

    I don't recall which of the MSNBC former prosecutors said that the prosecution isn't looking forward to the cross-examinations of Cohen and Stormy so they're making the case solidly before they have to put them on. That's hardly in the realm of stardom. not in show biz terms. I won't say what I conclude the chances of him being convicted in this trial are mainly because I"m superstitious about jinxing things.
