kentuck's JournalEnjoy this "hush money" trial, because there probably will not be another.
David Pecker is sleazy. He is only talking enough to keep himself out of jail. He made a deal. Hopefully no one will try to portray him as an honest broker.
When Michael Cohen comes up to testify, they will probably slice and dice him every which way from Sunday. They will massacre him.
Nobody knows what the jury is taking from this, but we should not be surprised if there is a hung jury at the end.
The Supreme Court and other "Judges" are making sure that Trump is able to delay his other trials until after the election, and then, they may all disappear.
Enjoy this charade. It may be all that we get?
The people are so numb, nothing shocks them anymore, not even the Supreme Court.
Everything is accepted as normal, if it comes from Trump or his lawyers. Murder? Violent coup? Stealing nuclear secrets? Nothing matters anymore. They are dead and incapable of thinking.
They can ignore the truth but they cannot ignore the consequences of the truth.
The Supreme Court is caught up in the chaos and confusion...
They seem to be talking to just hear themselves talk.
They sit there in total seriousness as Trump's lawyer argues for absolute immunity. They ponder the legitimacy of the lawyer's responses as he tells them that no president will ever be able to act boldly again, for fear of being held criminally responsible for his actions.
Yes, it is part of the official duties of a president if he sells nuclear secrets to a foreign enemy. It is part of his official duties if he gets his military to assassinate his political rivals. It is OK to lead a coup to overthrow our government. It is part of his official duties to lead a fraudulent effort to put fake ballots in front of the Congress and the National Archives, in order to say he won the election.
And yet, most of them sit there enthralled by the possibility and reasonableness of the lawyer's ridiculous and insane claims.
They have lost their minds. How do they continue with this charade? Why do they act as if this is a serious question for them to rule upon?
Jury is "95%" Democrat...
Therefore, the Defendant cannot get a fair trial.
Imagine going to a trial and asking that no Republicans be permitted on your jury. Because they cannot issue a fair verdict.
Trump accused his Manhattan jury of being "95%" Democrat in an interview a couple of days ago.
Why don't we just divide the country down the middle between Democrats and Republicans so that Donald Trump can get a fair shake?
What a sad view of this country.
Trump keeps saying, "I should be out campaigning..."
No. He shouldn't be out campaigning anywhere. Not even for dogcatcher. He disqualified himself when he tried to overturn an election and overthrow the government.
He complains that he has to sit in a "freezing" courtroom and be treated like a common criminal. He whines about everything because he is being held accountable.
He should be in jail. End of story.
The way I see it...
What is happening in Gaza is a tragedy. One doesn't have to be on one side or the other to see that.
It is reported that 15,000 children have been killed since the Israeli invasion or since the massacre at the music festival, whichever point of injury is important to you.
But, the problem as I see it is Netanyahu. He has somehow persuaded many Israelis, perhaps the majority, that the only way they will ever have security is to destroy Gaza and the Hamas entirely. They must be completely annihilated. There is no other option. Unfortunately, many Israelis agree with him.
In my opinion, the world cannot go along with the view of Benjamin Netanyahu. They must intervene. An eye for an eye and a massacre for a massacre is not the answer.
In the movie, "Men In Black", they read the National Enquirer for the "real" news...
My kingdom for my own media operation...
Donald Trump knew the value of information, whether it was true or not, whether it was "fake" or not. That was why he befriended David Pecker. He was of value to him. He could print all positive stories about Trump and all negative stories about his political opponents, which he did with enthusiasm. And Trump paid him for his efforts.
How is that different from Trump's present relationship with FOX News? They do nothing but positive stories on Trump. They agree to do nothing but negative stories on Joe Biden and his political enemies. But how are they paid?
They know that their ratings will remain high so long as they report positively on Trump. His followers will watch their network over all the others. Ratings equal money. That is how they are paid.
In my opinion, Trump only swapped National Enquirer for FOX News because they served the same purpose for him. FOX News is very similar to National Enquirer.
Relatively speaking, this trial seems rather trivial compared to the other charges against Trump.
Although a crime is a crime, somehow it doesn't measure up to the charges of an attempted coup with election fraud or stealing our nation's deepest secrets.
It seems inconsequential when compared to the election fraud in the 2020 election. The threats to the Georgia election officials seem to be much more serious. The fraudulent forms and fake election officials in the several battleground states appear to be much more serious charges.
The stealing of our nation's secrets and moving them to Mar-a-Lago and then hiding them from the FBI and refusing to turn them over almost seems like a capital offense, punishable by death. But, for the time being, all of them are on a back burner, as we focus our attention on the salacious details of Stormy Daniels and the National Enquirer stories.
Can someone be removed from prison to testify before a jury?
Could Alan Weiselberg be called to testify in the Trump trial?
That would be a kicker, wouldn't it?
Half of the nation is afflicted with the Trump Derangement Syndrome...
...and the other half has no option but to react to it.
It's like a burglar has gotten into your home and he has a gun. It's impossible to focus on anything else until the burglar is gone.
The only choice is to surrender or to fight back.
Those afflicted by TDS are unstable. They do not care for this country. They do not care for their neighbors. They are mentally ill. They are a threat to society.
