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. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chomper Higgot Posted April 19 Popular Post Share Posted April 19 1 minute ago, Yellowtail said: 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. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

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. Joe Biden - Wikipedia At least he allowed his standing to be public. Why is Trump hiring lawyers to hide his? Right...problems with his feet again. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargamon Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 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. ---- One down, 70 million to go. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"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.

Popular Post Roo Island Posted April 20 Popular Post Share Posted April 20 36 minutes ago, Skipalongcassidy said: Source please or is that just another biased opinion. 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. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
