A Weary Trump Appears to Doze Off in Courtroom Ahead of Criminal Trial

And I provided a subsequent link showing you were wrong in your assessment. The judge could allow him to not be present as long as the people (in this case Alvin Bragg) does not object. 

 

We've been over this, and you know this. 

You need to contact the Defendant’s legal team, they seem not to have spotted what you think you’ve spotted.

How? 

 

The whole trial and all the charges revolve around the hush money being reported as legal fees paid to Michael Cohen, and the state claiming it was actually a campaign expense. 

 

 

Read the indictment.

 

Your opinion matters zilch, it’s what’s in the indictment handed down by the Grand Jury.

Do you know what election interference is? 

If so, can you provide a definition? 

If so, can you explain how keeping the story out of the press is election interference, per your definition?

 

Thanks!

Indeed, the only reason Trump has to be in court is because Alvin Bragg objects. Yes, we have been over this, and we agree. 

 

And yes, there are 34 felony counts that have been cobbled together using the hush-money misdemeanor bookkeeping charges and calling the payment a campaign finance violation, correct? 

 

 

 

Ummm...that's his job. Representing the people against those who commit crimes like this

Finished in the bottom of his class.

 

In 1969 Biden practiced law, first as a public defender and then at a law firm headed by a locally active Democrat, who named him to the Democratic Forum, a group trying to reform and revitalize the state party. Biden subsequently reregistered as a Democrat. He and another attorney also formed a law firm. 

 

In 1970 he ran for office, won and took office in January of '71 and has been feeding at the public trough since.

At least he allowed his standing to be public. Why is Trump hiring lawyers to hide his?  Right...problems with his feet again.

So every civil servant is feeding at the public through? You must not like civil servants very much.

How long has Mitch McConnell been feeding at the public trough? And Gym Jordan, who’s been in the House for 16 years, introduced a very meagre 30 bills and not a single one has been signed into law? What about Hal Rogers, who’s been in the House since 1981?

No, I'm fine with people that actually serve the public in some way, but that's most everyone that has a job.

I don't know who Gym Jordan or Hal Rogers are, but Mitch McConnell is a self-serving POC the same way Biden is. 

 

The way I see it, virtually every non-defense bill that comes through congress makes things worse.

I think Joe Biden has done a lot for the the average American. In fact, he introduced legislation that all the MAGA nutbag representatives voted against, but when it passed they bragged about it to their constituents and took credit for it. Kind of hypocrite and despicable, don’t you think? But also kind of an underhanded compliment to Biden’s administration, come to think of it.
When you talk about feeding from the public trough, those are the representatives that really fit that bill. They do absolutely nothing for their constituents, actually vote against legislation that would benefit them, and then when it passes they have the gall to take credit for it. And for that they rake in $174,000 dollars a year. Plus a whole range of benefits.

Meanwhile, outside the courthouse, a likely Trump supporter set him/herself on fire.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/19/trump-trial-person-fire

A person set themselves on fire on Friday lunchtime outside the lower Manhattan courthouse where Donald Trump is on trial in a hush-money case.

Pictures of someone in flames were carried live on television and spread on X, the social media network formerly known as Twitter.

 

The incident occurred just as Judge Juan Merchan was recessing for lunch on the third day of the former president’s trial for fraud, shortly after a full jury of 12, and six alternates, were seated.

"I will tell you, I have had to sit through long ceremonies with Donald Trump," said Manigault Newman. "I've had to sit next to him during long church services or different policy events. And Donald Trump cannot focus, nor can he sit still for very long. In fact, we used to build our events specifically to address his attention deficit. We would break up the events so that he be stimulated and not fall asleep. We could slide him different information or news articles he could read while the long proceedings were going on, anything to keep him focused so he wouldn't get up and walk out. I think it's going to be difficult for Donald to sit through eight weeks of these proceedings. Sometimes they're not exciting, sometimes they're very boring. And as you heard, he sometimes falls asleep during these sessions."

 

Our friends the Trump fans won't even see the above quote.

And... what's your point...

Are these biased opinions?

 

These cabinet- level appointees saw Donald Trump up close. And they decided they couldn’t stand by him.

 

Mr. Trump churned through cabinet-level appointees so fast that at times it seemed like he was still on “The Apprentice” and had to fire one official every week. These appointees didn’t start out opposed to Mr. Trump. Not only are they people whom Mr. Trump chose — he claimed he would hire the “best people” — they are people who thought Mr. Trump was worth working for. But many of them quickly became alarmed by Mr. Trump’s personality, temperament and policy aims.

Except for Trump's billionaires tax cut, of course.

 

Since you're a trickle down guy, you support laws that help billionaires and oppose laws that help regular people.

 

Basics like Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare or middle class tax cuts are poison for you.

Please describe how ObamaCare made life worse for the middle class working American.

 

Spoiler alert: many middle class people work as independent contractors or are sole proprietors. If you ever go out into the Real World and try to get your own private insurance, you would understand the benefits of Obamacare.

Wow! Yellowtail certainly has some scoops! I had no idea that either Mitch McConnell or Joe Biden were Persons of Color! Must admit, they do hide it very well.
