Beautifully written. I’m staying tuned in to the results of this trial. I LOVE your statement that said that the Biden campaign ads that will be coming out as a result of this trial will be beyond brutal will actually be a breath of fresh air for me. I can’t wait to see those Biden campaign ads.

It is time for Trump to fully understand that AMERICA DOES NOT WANT HIM. He was such a CLOWN in the White House. It was so obvious that he disgraced our White House. NEVER EVER AGAIN CAN WE SEE THIS CLOWN RUNNING A COUNTRY.

Thank you for this article.

The only thing he can run is AWAY...from public life, to exist in the hell that is his sick mind.

But he can't run off during this trial, as he has done tantrum style in civil trials, nor can he just not go back in after lunch break and IMO that will be the hardest part of this first phase for him.

Glad he can't run off or skip the PM session! Curious, why do you think this afternoon will be the hardest part of the first phase?

The requirement of having to be there and behave, didn't mean just this afternoon, however this phase of jury selection may last days and become more tedious as the hours add up and to a person with attention deficiency issues...

Agree 100%

It’s about the money Trump needs. He’s broke. He’s in it for the grift. Up to his head in debt.

Hope the first thing that happens is TFG gets remanded into custody for violating his gag order. That’ll freak him out, and it’s long overdue. 😎

Yes, Happy First Criminal Trial Day!!

"Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree on or about December 5, 2017, with intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof." He made and caused a false entry in the business records of an enterprise, times 34!

I have not adequately understood how supposed billionaire had so little cash in the bank that his fixer/Michael Cohen, had to take out a personal, private mortgage to provide the funds. With all the financial malfeasance and allegations of money laundering through the years, Trump couldn't come up with $130k any other way. That alone should convince everyone that Donald Trump is that brother in law who never brings a wallet to a restaurant to pay the check.

That, my dear, is the essence of his Fraud trial. He overstated value to secure loans, then understated values to reduce taxes. He METHODICALLY cheated contractors; he claimed having his name was of astronomical value as “a Brand.” However, buildings constructed to reflect “trump standards” were left without funding after he was paid. I posted a copy of his antics, the court documents/ deposition related to a “trump hotel/condo” in Florida that destroyed a contractor. You can look these up on SCRIBD.

Since he rode his horse down that escalator, the mainstream media has failed us every step of the way when it comes to the alleged orange God. No vetting, no nothing. Just lazy journalists waiting for Trump to write their headlines and news corporations collecting our money while keeping us rage watching. I'm anticipating another media fail, I hope they disappoint me.

They’re starting with “hush money” trial—they’ll end with with calling it the election interference trial.

The MSM consistently presses Democratic candidates (e.g., Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden) to talk issues while letting Trump get away with generalities and platitudes. Their rationale seems to go something like this: Ask Trump a substantive question -> Trump evades and/or flubs the question -> Trump looks stupid -> The media is "partisan" for making him look stupid.

I think you may be mistaken. They were side by side, so he didn't ride his... oh, HORSE. He rode his horse down that escalator. Nevermind.

All of us on the left side of politics have been hoping for this day for years. Since the actual trial will begin only after a jury is selected, that next day will be even more gratifying. The sooner it begins, the better!

Trump can’t help himself with his outbursts. He doesn’t have “both oars in the water” because of emotional and medical reasons. The real question is: Will the judge put up with his shit? Will the judge order a psychiatric evaluation to see if trump is competent to stand trial? Or will trump spend some quality time isolated at tRump Tower with an ankle bracelet? I’d love to see him share a cell with Weisselberg and Navarro, but I doubt it will happen.

This Trump Trial might result in some stress on the morbidly obese former president. Just holding onto that scowl is going to be exhausting. My sympathies to the courtroom artists having to draw his angry puss.
