Ten-year-old nabisco offTM:

Here's something funny: when I was ten years old I had a vague admiration for Donald Trump and Lee Iacocca (both very feted at the time) and a downright intense love of Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties, who I didn't understand to be something of a joke. As such, despite having really liked Mondale -- having a woman as a running mate impressed me, probably because of the mother/father dynamic of it -- I was convinced that I wanted to be a Republican and a businessman or lawyer of some sort. In fact, I started a "company" with my friends Brian and Jeff -- we made board games, and hired Tony, the best breakdancer I have ever known, to do the art -- and I was constantly attempting to read the law and economics books in my father's library. Everyone seemed to think this was "cute," though I sort of wish someone had just explained politics to me. In either case, I got over it quickly and went back to wanting to be a writer.

What you lookin' at?
You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be?
You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say,
"That's the bad guy.
" So... what that make you? Good? You're not good.
You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.
So say good night to the bad guy!
Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you.
Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

You certainly don't, pal, 'cause the good news is - you're fired. The bad news is - you've got, all of you've got just one week to regain your jobs starting with tonight. Starting with tonight's sit. Oh? Have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado. Anyone wanna see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired. Get the picture? You laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money, get their names to sell them; you can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit. You ARE shit! Hit the bricks, pal, and beat it 'cause you are going OUT!

"Trump never said he had tapes, he just inferred that he did. And it is not intimidating a witness since Comey is telling the truth and knew that any tapes would prove his version of events."

Trump lingered last in line for brains
And the one he got was sorta rotten and insane
Small hands (so sad!), a rust-hued clown
Is Trump fast asleep or rockin' out with Three Doors Down?

Part of my problem is that I have to do a lot of things myself. It takes so much time. Julio Iglesias is coming to Mar-a-Lago, but I have to call Julio, I have to have lunch with Julio. I have Pavarotti coming. Pavarotti doesn’t perform for anybody. He’s the highest-paid performer in the world. A million dollars a performance. The hardest guy to get. If I call him, he’ll do it—for a huge amount less. Why? Because they like me, they respect me, I don’t know.

he ended up with 10 fines for a total of $10K for repeatedly violating the gag order. enough to deter most people but a complete joke for trump

I'm wondering if any of this can or will be raised in sentencing if he is found guilty

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Wednesday, 29 May 2024 16:21 (yesterday) link

<imothisisthefuture>he's going to get probation, he won't face jail time, he'll have to deal with all the probation officer stuff, which he'll whine about incessantly and fundraise on, but they'll let him campaign and debate. there will be numerous indications that he's not doing it properly and a bunch of people here will get really excited because it will seem like they're about to finally nail trump on violating the probation procedures, but by then it will be late summer and the people will have to decide. the other three criminal trials will never happen</imothisisthefuture>

MERCHAN says the note came in at 2:56. It contains 4 requests.

1) Pecker's testimony re phone call with Trump
2) Pecker's testimoyn regarding decision not to finalize and fund McDougal's life rights
3) Pecker's testimony onTrump Tower meeting
4) Cohen on Trump Tower meeting

xp

That doesn't sound good for Trump. I presume they are looking at the Pecker testimony to corroborate the Cohen testimony. Fingers crossed.

il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Wednesday, 29 May 2024 19:30 (yesterday) link

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Wednesday, 29 May 2024 19:31 (yesterday) link

I shouldn't make predictions, though. When I was watching trials on a regular basis 20+ years ago I was so bad at reading juries!

il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Wednesday, 29 May 2024 19:32 (yesterday) link

it has to be unanimous as well

Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, 29 May 2024 19:38 (yesterday) link

it really can't help Trump that Pecker is still a Trump supporter and somehow managed to come across as oddly likable, amusing and extremely credible during his testimony.

vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Wednesday, 29 May 2024 19:40 (yesterday) link

this probably means no chance of a verdict today, but yeah I feel like the main thing the jury is gonna want to do is match up Pecker's testimony with Cohen's and if they match the way the prosecution says they do then he'll be found guilty

frogbs, Wednesday, 29 May 2024 19:42 (yesterday) link

So, sort of a Pecker measuring test?

Millennium Falco (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 29 May 2024 20:54 (yesterday) link

We're all just reading tea leaves at this point, of course.

We don't know what's going on in the deliberation room.

But I think the prosecution must be feeling relatively good about the substance of this jury note.

yeah my hope is they just want to focus on the Pecker stuff and not have to go over everything with Michael Cohen, which I believe is what the prosecution wants, while the defense wants it to be more "well it hinges on Cohen and I don't know about that guy..."
