It should be, but it probably isn't.

He notes it as Hollywood money, which makes me assume it's Prop Money, which isn't illegal to have.

And because he isn't using it to purchase goods or services, he isn't using it in any way that could get him charged with counterfeiting. Prop money is also marked as prop money, so he basically can dust his hands clean of it and say it isn't his fault no one looked at it before trying to spend it.

Dick move all around, but nothing illegal.

You need actual evidence to corroborate it, not just his word. I can only hope that he's just as stupid as they all seem to be. The real difficult part, in my opinion, is if they even really go after him in earnest. I can only hope the Secret Service is as hyper focused on this as they always seem to be.

Is there any penalty for sleeping through a trial?

Trump may be thumbing through pages with news stories
The papers that Donald Trump is thumbing through at the defense table may be news stories.
One of the pages has a giant photo printed on it.
As we've seen today and other days, the former president often comes into the courtroom with a large bundle of papers.

Where you guys getting updates?

Imagine praising someone for being openly and unapologetically racist toward you. I guess whatever money and fame he's getting out of this is worth trading his self-respect for.

She had vape cartridges with cannabis oil in her suitcase. She doesn't deny that, just says she didn't realize they were in there.

Prosecution done with witness testimony for the day
The prosecution is finished with witness testimony for today. Judge Juan Merchan is now addressing the jury.
As Merchan read his lengthy instructions to the jury about avoiding news coverage and discussing the case, Trump was in a full conversation with Bove.
Merchan paused and said to them, "You done?"

"Your Honour, we would like to block the state from entering into evidence the tweet where our client confessed to the crime..."

What are your current expenses though?

$5k after taxes is more than most Americans make. I'm pretty sure that would work for the rest of my life at least.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if it turned out the quality control for these things was so ridiculously low that they contained a chemical that caused impotence?

I actually forgot hes still in prison

Judge says 3 issues raised by defense will be taken up after jury leaves at end of day
One of Donald Trump's attorneys, Todd Blanche, is raising three issues with the judge:
renewed motion for a mistrial
to preclude Karen McDougal from testifying
an issue having to do with the gag order related to Stormy Daniels.
Judge Juan Merchan says the trial will break at 4 p.m. ET, and they will take it up then after the jury leaves.

I disagree. I think he's going to end up in jail at this rate. Also it's not the judge's fault he can only issue insultingly low fines or jail.

Yeah we didn't even have them on my ship in the 90's. Just RM's. That was awhile ago though.

I myself was on a Spruance Class Destroyer and preferred that. So glad I got out of nuclear power and went gas turbines.

Is this a complaint about crowding or a complaint about marines?

"I won't tolerate that," the judge warned Blanche at sidebar

Sure you won't. But no, go ahead and issue another $1,000 fine. I'm sure this next one will show him

I think it will hurt them.

People love dogs in this country. The amount of people who dislike dogs is far smaller. The amount that would approve of murdering a 14 month old puppy is even smaller.

Prosecutors introduce a second Trump book
Prosecutors have now moved on to another Trump book, "Trump: Think like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know About Success, Real Estate, and Life."
"When youre working with a decorator make sure to ask to see all the invoices," a portion of the book's text reads.
"Decorators are by nature honest people, but you should be double-checking regardless," the text continues.

Maybe his lawyers told him if he had to go to jail for contempt, he wouldn't have access to his makeup and have to go out in public without it to attend the trial.

Found my billion dolla idea tbh
