senseandsensibility's JournalWhat do you think Judge Merchan's plan is to deal with
cheato's flagrant disregard for the gag order? I know he's not going to let him keep intimidating witnesses and especially jurors. That would be a miscarriage of justice. He's in a difficult spot, but the longer he waits the harder it will be to find a solution.
Some really bad things could happen if nothing is done. I'm a little perplexed by the lack of action so far. 
The National Enquirer made sure that cheato won the
the Republican primaries. They cleared the way by lying about Cruz and Ben Carson. Just flat out lies based on checkbook journalism (bribes) and buying people off. The stories were so ridiculous that even at the time this whole scam should have been exposed clearly for what it was by mainstream news outlets. I'm not saying it was ignored, but it should have been the lead story for many weeks.
Because this conspiracy was successful and cheato won the primary, he felt free to use it against Hillary in the general election with ridiculous untrue stories about her "dying" and being a "traitor", etc. Again the corporate media paid scant attention.
I am glad that this trial is exposing all of this in more detail and more prominently. It really is a major scandal and a major dereliction of duty by the corporate media.
Kari Lake has flipped again and now wants
sheriffs to enforce the 19th century abortion law. My God, she's a mess. I hope this hands the race to Ruben. 
Let's go, AZ Dems!
I notice that CNN is spoon feeding us
small segments of cheato's lied filled screed in front of the courthouse, and then carefully explaining where he's coming from without actually fact checking him. They know that if they just let him go on, viewers will change the channel. So this is how they get at least some viewers to stick around and partake of the propaganda.
So what's the story with Rep. Gonzalez (R) TX?
He apparently went on State of the Union (CNN) this morning. He said that Matt Gaetz paid underage women to have sex at drug parties and accused some in his party of wearing white hoods in the daytime.
I mean, sure, I know many R's say this and more behind the scenes, but saying it on live TV seems like a real signal of something. I'm not sure what. Somehow though I doubt it's pure moral clarity. Something else must be going on.
Wow! That is so nuanced!
Person covering cheato's lie rally tonight had some really breaking news to make everyone stop and think.
Seems she asked a cult member at his hatefest the usual will you still support cheato if he's convicted question and she is really scrambling to find something interesting in his answer. She was blown away because although he said he would still support cheato, he added THAT ALL POLITICIANS HAVE FAULTS!
OMG, that puts a whole new spin on it. Mind blowing. She was very impressed with this nuance, and so was Alex Wagner.
My compliments to the sketch artist!
Some really revealing pictures of Cheato in the courtroom today. Kind of captures the range of his emotions: angry, exhausted, bewildered, afraid.
I'm liking these much more than the sketches from a few months ago that made him look normal.
Cheato's lead in the polls has evaporated, his campaign is broke...
and he's in a courtroom all day listening to jurors trash him.
NYT: Here's why that's bad for Joe Biden!
Cheato is cold!
I didn't hear this because MSNBC wisely muted his diatribe after court. But I read on the twitters that after the jury was picked, he whined about being freezing. Oh noes....someone in his entourage should pack him one of those snuggle blanket things. You know, the ones that are kind of like onesies. 
"Rise to the occasion"
That was Andrew Weisman's advice to Judge Juan Merchan. Cheato is openly trying to intimidate the jury. He is using his lackeys on FAUX news to signal to the cult that the jurors are evil. And this is just the beginning. No one thinks it's going to improve without action and two things are at stake: justice and the juror's physical safety.
The time is past for action. Cheato, his minions on FAUX and elsewhere, and the cult can do a lot of damage between now and the hearing that I believe is to be held next week.
