I haven't paid any attention to what I assume is just the latest instance of Trump's mental diarrhea oozing out of his mouth. Did someone bring it up in Congress?

The FBI has rules on the use of deadly force, as does almost every police department. Trump thinks that means that the FBI had orders to kill him.

FYI, Trump's lawyer has argued in front of the USSC that it's perfectly legal for Trump to authorize the killing of his political opponent.

So it's personally offensive to state what someone is being charged for?

For the months she paid, what shall I do?

Give them the rent back? If the tenant finds out, they'll likely sue you, get what they are owed, and probably extra on top.

So it's about to get worse?

i know they found the father, but this just screams off.

17 hours of interrogation and gaslighting can really mess you up. You'd be amazed at how malleable short term memory can be.

I hope he sues and bankrupts the city.

Every single case these cops were involved with should be opened and investigated.

I hope he sues and wins so much money.

I've just accepted that the books are never coming out.

Martin is obviously done with the main series, it's why he keeps doing other projects.

And I get it, that's perfectly okay. But, he needs to be honest with people. Perhaps hand it off to a ghost writer, have them write a chapter or so, and then he goes through it with notes.

What will probably happen is he dies before he finishes the series, and then someone else hired by his estate finishes it.

So perhaps a continuation of Supernatural?

Didn't he do a volunteer interview with the FBI?

Some Republicans charged in the Arizona fake electors plot have been unable to afford lawyers ahead of their scheduled court appearances, according to reporting from KPNX.

Brahm Resnik of KPNX news in Phoenix on Tuesday shared a thread of posts on X, formerly Twitter, discussing the arraignment of many defendants charged in a scheme to overturn the 2020 election results.

"UPDATE Former @AZGOP executive director Greg Safsten tells judge he can't afford lawyer, is declared indigent and gets public defender. Emails show Safsten was in contact w 'fake electors' architect Ken Chesebro," Resnik wrote in a post.
Newsweek reached out to the Arizona GOP via email for comment on Tuesday.

In another post, Resnik said that defendant Robert Montgomery, former chairman of the Cochise County Republican Committee, received a court-appointed lawyer, instead of showing up with one on his own.

Arizona's Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes last month indicted 19 people accused of participating in a plot to overturn President Joe Biden's 2020 presidential election victory in Arizona while naming former President Donald Trump the victor with fraudulent certifications. Trump was referred to as an "unindicted co-conspirator" in the indictment, but has not been charged.

Oh well.

Probably the next time a microphone is in front of his face.

But he's going to do it anyway.

Giuliani's arraignment in Arizona is going on now. They're talking about the difficulties they had trying to serve him his summons.

Hopefully that means no bond. He's already shown he'll be hard to find.

No one cares about your business more than you.

So they admit they price gouged too much?

What's the reason for no court on Wednesday?

It's to deal with other court related stuff, other cases.

Mearcstapa posted...

Do they really need an entire week to prepare closing arguments?

It's memorial day coming up. Wednesdays is no court, and they probably have an extended weekend up until next Tuesday.

That's a lot of shit to say, "I don't want to pay my workers a fair wage."

Or wants them to work off the clock.

Defense has rested their case
Trump attorney Todd Blanche has rested the defense's case.
"The defense rests," Blanche said.

LOL.

From Reddit:

Costello: I didn't tell Cohen I was close to Giuliani.
Costello's emails:
All the more reason for Cohen to hire me because of my connection to Giuliani, which I mentioned to him in our meeting.

Such a smart move by Trump to insist this guy be a witness.

That's too much sandwich.

Does anyone know of a site/channel/whatever doing non-clickbait analysis of the Trump trial? Getting tired of literally everything on media outlets being about Cohen when, honestly, I don't think he's that important to the case itself.

I find the live update from CNN to be rather good:

Would Trump be in court if he had reimbursed Pecker for the $150k he paid to kill the McDougal story out of his own pocket?

He stiffed Pecker for that, which led to Pecker not picking up the tab for the Stormy story, which led to the reason why he's in court now.

It would be poetic justice if Trump becomes a felon over a measly $150k.

If Trump had paid Daniels money to not talk about it, and paid out of his own pocket, he'd likely not be in trouble. Probably a campaign finance violation, but that I think is a misdemeanor.

CableZL posted...

Trump's lawyers are arguing for dismissal again. They really don't seem to want this case to go to the jury.

To be fair, that happens in every case.

So they have no refutations to the mountains of evidence presented by the prosecution?

Trump's attorney says defense doesn't expect to call any witnesses after Costello
Trump attorney Emil Bove says the defense does not expect to call any witnesses after Robert Costello.
The judge notes that can change.

So just one guy?

What other scifis are they going to rip off?

Cartoon_Quoter posted...

Right, but I don't understand why people keep saying this is the last thing the jury is going to hear. There should be at least another day or two of testimony, right?

What defense could they possibly give?

ClayGuida posted...

Should have been in the middle of the case, this will be the last thing jurors remember.

Not if they are bored to tears.

Burrito if they have it.

Endless shrimp was probably an excuse.

Imagine paying $6000, and nothing works.

I think the most egregious part was where Disney messed up, Jenny went through the normal channels to get it resolved, it doesn't, and then it does when she tweets about it.

Most people don't have a huge amount of social media people.

I'll take the money. The save point would only help me if it would get me more money.

I don't think jurors or judges appreciate people smiling during their mugshot.

League of Legends I think does it right. You can earn everything gameplay wise via playing, but skins (that have no bearing on improving your stats) cost money.
