Weather in Manhattan today: Stormy with a chance of incarceration.

Stormy Monday, but Tuesdays just as bad …..

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 way they’ve been so far this election cycle shows they are going to have no mercy on this criminal. So I’m lookin forward to it too Jane!

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

Shire Jansen's avatar

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.

Maureen Allen's avatar

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?

Patricia Kreger's avatar

He has to sit and stay. Without borking (commenting)!He doesn’t have self-control. New trick for the old dog. 😊

Maureen Allen's avatar

Oh, of course--makes sense, thanks!

Patricia Kreger's avatar

You're very welcome.

Shire Jansen's avatar

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. 😎

Scott Dworkin's avatar

Hell yeah Jeff I agree!

Jeff Urdank's avatar

Scott, you think this judge has the balls to finally do it? 🙏🏻😎

Jennifer Em's avatar

I think he just might. Fuckface came for his daughter, after all.

Janine's avatar

He better be and they should pull his bail and stick his ass in fuckin prison and fuck secret service they probably are brain washed by him or brain damaged from the stink of his ass so they need to be pulled and he stays in jail until his conviction and then ro stay there for 10 years

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!

Exactly correct !

The press needs to stop calling this just

“The Hush Money Trial”!

John Steward's avatar

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.

Thank you for the link. It struck me as a bush league way to run things.

Constant media fail.

Julie's avatar

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.

Scott Dworkin's avatar

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

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

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.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

It makes me crazy! They aren't getting any better at it either.

John Steward's avatar

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.

Julie's avatar

Spit out my coffee laughing and then spit out my coffee laughing some more. Funny guy you are John.

Susan Niemann's avatar

FINALLY! I'm so apprehensive about this. He simply cant keep evading accountability! Will be looking forward to your analysis as this progresses. ✌️

Scott Dworkin's avatar

I agree!! He just showed up to the courthouse.

Laissez le bon temps rouler!

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!

Lifting a fluted glass: "to Justice!"

Robert Johnston's avatar

I'm looking forward to the former guy paying for his crimes. Donald has been given way too much leniency. Reposted or retweeted on social media.

NEAL O'CONNOR's avatar

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.

“This is an election interference trial, plain and simple. The term “hush money,” downplays what actually happened:”.

I appreciate you including this point! So many hear the term, “hush money trial”, and wonder what the big deal is. Folks need to hear that this is about election interference, the very thing the repubs claim to rail against.
