If it turns out he didn't keep White House pets because he doesn't think it's morally right to "own" an animal, that's gonna break a lot of brains

rich guy guided trophy hunting is mega cringe but hunting in general is realer than anything trump has ever done. i'm certain the reason he doesn't like hunting has nothing to do with compassion for the animals and everything to do with contempt for the mess and low-class-ness of it and the fact that it has nothing to do with making money.

Also that it's a so-called manly activity that he — the manliest of manlies — does not participate in, therefore it must be unworthy of real men.

fealty display overrules actual governance
The US House was in session on Tuesday with vital business to complete but its speaker, Mike Johnson, was 200 miles north, attending another day in the criminal trial of Donald Trump, the former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee charged over hush-money payments to an adult film star who claimed an affair.
“President Trump is innocent of these charges,” Johnson told reporters outside court in Manhattan, where Trump faces the first 34 of 88 criminal counts.

There are damning things about Haberman but that text isn’t necessarily one. On the surface it sounds like a normal response to a request for comment. The “please start writing” part is likely in reference to her having given him a deadline to respond.

sounds like the cross on Cohen is taking forever but not really going anywhere, wonder if they're just going in circles because the defense has nothing but doesn't want to reveal if Trump will actually testify or not

Please let him testify, please.
― tobo73, Thursday, 16 May 2024 19:27 (two weeks ago) link
I'm like 95% sure he's gonna say he wants to testify but can't because of the gag order, which is such an obvious lie, but his base have no standards for this sort of thing so they'll just lap it up anyway
if he does testify it would be such an utter disaster, one would think even a man of Trump's legal instincts knows it's a bad idea, but on the other hand he's been falling asleep in court every day so maybe his brains have completely turned to mush

if he does testify it would be such an utter disaster, one would think even a man of Trump's legal instincts knows it's a bad idea
Funniest possible outcome: he demands to testify, his lawyers say "Are you fucking kidding us right now," he fires them all and says, "I'm acting as my own lawyer from now on, and will take my own testimony," clambering out of the witness box to ask a question then climbing back in to answer it, judge saying "I'll allow it" through tears of helpless laughter.
